Dataset 12 Expansion: 1,046 Pages the DOJ Published Without Telling Anyone

23 new documents quietly added to justice.gov on or around March 5, 2026, nine days after Congress announced investigations into the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files. No press release. No update to the disclosure page. No notification to researchers.

Executive Summary

On or around March 5, 2026, the Department of Justice added 23 documents totaling 1,046 pages to the Dataset 12 section of its Epstein Files Transparency Act database. The new documents begin at EFTA02731790, contiguous with the original DS12 endpoint (EFTA02731783, a 7-page document running through 02731789).

The documents include:

• Five internal prosecution memos showing, draft by draft, how a 60-count federal indictment with mandatory life sentences was sanded down to a state plea deal (Operation Leap Year)
• Four FBI interviews with a woman (designated PROTECT SOURCE) who accused President Trump of sexual assault when she was a minor
• Six additional FBI victim interviews, including one describing being sent by Epstein to Senator George Mitchell and Leon Black
• Three grand jury documents from the MCC guards prosecution, the first publicly available from that case
• A 582-page FBI case file spanning the entire original Miami/Palm Beach investigation
• FBI intelligence and other materials, including confirmation that the Epstein and Peter Nygard investigations were run by the same SDNY team

The timing is hard to ignore. NPR published its investigation into 53 missing pages from the Epstein files on February 24. Members of Congress from both parties announced investigations on February 25. The House Oversight Committee voted 24-19 to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi on March 4. These documents appeared the next day.

The 53 Missing Pages: 16 Found, 37 Still Withheld

NPR's Stephen Fowler identified a 53-page gap in the secondary Bates numbering on FBI interview documents related to a woman who accused Trump of abuse. The gap ran from EFTA 00057716 through EFTA 00057768, between Interview #1 and the next document in the PROTECT SOURCE witness sub-file.

The DS12 expansion fills exactly 16 of those pages:

The remaining 37 pages correspond to agent interview notes (sub-documents 3501.045-002, -004, and -006 in the Maxwell case prosecution disclosure index):

The DOJ released the formal FD-302 transcripts (the documents with Trump's name in them) but withheld the investigative workpapers. The 302s tell us what the witness said. The agent notes would tell us what the FBI thought about it.

Operation Leap Year: The 60-Count Indictment

Five documents trace the complete arc of the federal case against Jeffrey Epstein, from a proposed 60-count indictment to the Non-Prosecution Agreement that killed it. These are the actual internal prosecution memos from the line AUSA to U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, seeking authorization to indict. (Previous reporting on the NPA, including the Miami Herald's landmark 2018 investigation, worked from partial documents and victim interviews. These are the source.)

The Proposed Indictment

The earliest memo, dated April 23, 2007, laid out the case:

• 60 federal counts including sex trafficking of minors (18 USC 1591), enticement (18 USC 2422(b)), and interstate travel counts (18 USC 2423(b))
• 9 sex trafficking counts carrying mandatory minimums of 15 years to life
• 19 identified victims, ages 14 to 17
• 225 enumerated overt acts
• Forfeiture of the Palm Beach mansion (358 El Brillo Way) and both aircraft: the Boeing 727 (N908JE, owned through JEGE Inc.) and the Gulfstream (N909JE, owned through Hyperion Air Inc.)

Epstein was classified as an "extremely high flight risk" (p.1) with a fortune exceeding $1 billion. He had homes on multiple continents and two aircraft capable of international travel. The line prosecutor recommended refusing any pre-indictment interview to prevent him from fleeing.

The FBI had intelligence on Epstein's movements for May 16-17, 2007 (p.1). The plan: present a sealed indictment on May 15 and arrest him. That never happened.

How the Case Was Sanded Down

The full 205-page prosecution memo, dated May 1, 2007, contains the most complete statement of the government's evidence. Tracked across four successive versions, the case shrank:

1. May 2007: 60 counts, corporate co-defendants (JEGE Inc. and Hyperion Air), aircraft forfeiture, sealed arrest plan
2. September 2007 (EFTA02857763): Corporate defendants removed, travel counts dropped from roughly 34 to 4. Some new victims added, arguable net strengthening of the core case.
3. February 2008 (EFTA02857732): Several victims removed for "strategic reasons," including the original complainant whose parents first went to police.
4. June 30, 2008: NPA signed. All federal charges dropped. State plea to two counts of solicitation. 18-month county jail with work release. Blanket immunity for all named and unnamed co-conspirators.

The gap between "60 counts with mandatory life" and "state plea to solicitation with work release" is the most documented prosecutorial collapse in modern American criminal history.

The Groff Incident

One detail from the memos stands out (EFTA02857524, p.149). After FBI agents attempted to interview Epstein's assistant Leslie Groff, she went upstairs "claiming she needed to change her baby" but instead called Epstein, who rerouted his flight to avoid agents planning to serve target letters. The prosecutor noted: "After this meeting with Groff, Epstein's team began negotiating in earnest to end this investigation."

Other Details from the Prosecution Memos

The memos contain 404(b) evidence from the early 1990s (EFTA02857524, pp.73, 131). Epstein flew a young high school girl to his New Mexico ranch, where he and Ghislaine Maxwell "fondled the girl and encouraged her to engage in additional sexual activity, which she refused." The girl's family was from a "well-to-do" background and threatened to report him. Maxwell told one of them she "could just disappear" if she told anyone.

When Vanity Fair found out and wrote a story (pp.73, 145), the reporter "was approached by someone from Epstein's camp and became so fearful for her safety and the safety of her young child that the piece was rewritten to remove all references to any sexual conduct." The reporter refused to speak to the FBI.

Among the evidence (pp.48, 58, 68): Epstein offered victims David Copperfield tickets, and one victim spoke with Copperfield on the telephone. A message pad recovered from the house had a call from Copperfield asking Epstein to return his call. One recruiter estimated she brought 30 girls to Epstein's Palm Beach home in 18 months.

The Immunity Request

A separate 3-page memo sought immunity for a cooperating witness under 18 USC Sections 6001-6003. The witness began as a "masseuse" when she was under 18, then transitioned to recruiting other girls, receiving $200 per referral. Her attorney refused to let her cooperate without full immunity.

The AUSA was candid about the bind (p.3): "approximately 90% of the identified girls brought other girls to Epstein, so all of them would feel at risk" if the DOJ prosecuted victim-recruiters. The memo also reveals (p.2) that Epstein "shipped off" another potential cooperator to the Middle East to work for one of his companies.

The PROTECT SOURCE Interviews

Four FBI interviews document a woman's account of sexual abuse by Epstein and, separately, by Donald Trump when she was between 13 and 15 years old. The FBI designated her PROTECT SOURCE, indicating an assessed risk to her safety. Interview #1 (EFTA01245620) was already in the public corpus. Interviews #2 through #4 are new.

The Initial Tip (July 8, 2019)

Two days after Epstein's arrest, a friend called the FBI's National Threat Operations Center. The crisis intake records:

"[Caller] states that recently she was informed by an unidentified female friend, currently residing in Portland, OR, that she was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 35 years ago in the state of New Jersey. [Caller's] friend stated that she was approximately 13-14 years of age when this occurred. The friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex and described his 'heavy breathing'. The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting him."

The caller "wanted to make sure that if/when her friend is interviewed that her identity is protected."

Interview #2 (August 7, 2019)

The longest and most detailed interview (10 pages, Serial 252). The woman told FBI agents that Epstein brought her to either New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15. She was "introduced to someone with money, money... It was Donald Trump."

Trump didn't like her "from the get-go" because she was a "boy-girl" (a tomboy). She told agents Trump asked everyone to leave the room, mentioned something to the effect of "Let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be," unzipped his pants and pushed her head toward his penis.

She "bit the shit out of it," the FBI report reads.

Trump struck her and said words to the effect of "get this little bitch the hell out of here." Afterward, a blonde woman approached her and said, "let me give you a tip little girl about your breasts, wear a bra every night."

She told agents she had two additional interactions with Trump that she asked to defer discussing.

The same interview describes Epstein and Trump using the terms "fresh meat," "untainted," and "not jaded" when referring to girls. She stated Trump "appeared jealous of Epstein." She was "confident TRUMP knew EPSTEIN blackmailed people because she heard EPSTEIN and TRUMP talking about it." She said Trump had illegal building permits, and she heard him talking about "washing money through casinos."

Interview #2 also documents Epstein distributing acid (LSD) through the witness. He asked her to try it first, then tell her friends where the party was. She didn't recall hearing about acid on the island before Epstein introduced it, but after he did, "acid swept the Island."

At one point, when the witness was around 15, Epstein appeared at a Rick James concert in Savannah, Georgia where she was with friends. He isolated her, got her drunk from a flask, and kept her so long that her friends drove home without her. She found herself walking around alone, high on marijuana, with no way to get home. Police picked her up and kept her in a jail cell overnight.

The interview also records Epstein disclosing to her that he had been molested as a child by a male family member and possibly his aunt. She "got super fascinated" in the interactions where Epstein was submissive, feeling relief at not being the one abused. Looking back, she told agents, he was "probably grooming me."

She asked the agents to keep her safe: "Throughout my life his people have found me... have kept tabs on me."

The Blackmail

Interview #2 also details how Epstein blackmailed the witness's mother. The mother ran a real estate company on an island (consistent with Hilton Head). Epstein, along with an associate named Jim Atkins and an accountant named Cecil, helped the mother "fix" her real estate books so she could embezzle funds and pay Epstein.

Atkins also sexually assaulted the witness on more than one occasion. He was described as a white male with gray hair, "big ears," in his 50s in the early 1980s, associated with an Ohio university (possibly the Dean or the "money guy").

At some point Atkins and the mother had a falling out. Atkins, Epstein, and possibly Cecil turned her in to the Real Estate Commission by providing her accurate records. The mother went to federal prison in Columbia, South Carolina for approximately two years. The conviction was connected to being blackmailed over explicit photographs of the witness.

The Post and Courier has independently confirmed that the mother served prison time for embezzlement from her real estate firm, though court records make no mention of Epstein.

Interview #3 (August 20, 2019)

In the third interview (4 pages, Serial 264), the witness clarified that when she previously said Trump struck her, he "pulled her hair and punched her on the side of her head."

She described decades of threatening phone calls she attributed to Epstein's associates. Jim Atkins told her words to the effect of "I don't give a shit if you end up in the gutter. Don't ever contact me again. Your mother knows what will happen."

She'd been threatened "sometimes every two years, then at random times." She'd had four or five "close calls" where cars tried to run her off the road, once on Interstate 5 in the dark and rain. The threats, she said, intensified "when he was running."

Her attorney interjected: "more tracks to cover."

She also referred to "the other one" who might have been behind the threats. When agents asked who, she said: "Trump."

Interview #4 (October 16, 2019)

By the fourth interview (2 pages, Serial 312), the witness was done. She'd retained civil attorneys and was aware the statute of limitations had likely expired. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents asked her to go home and take as much time as she needed.

The interview ended there.

The Other FBI 302 Interviews

Six additional FBI victim interviews in the DS12 expansion document abuse patterns consistent with the broader corpus but contain several notable new disclosures.

George Mitchell and Leon Black (EFTA02857849)

A Brazilian woman, recruited at age 27 through a friend named Ana, told agents that Epstein raped her in Palm Beach (she saw a gun in a drawer by the bed). When she refused a chiropractor's treatment the next day, another girl warned her "you never say no to Epstein." Back in New York, Epstein told her he was going to "punish" her and forced anal sex on her. He then began sending her to other men.

Senator George Mitchell: Epstein sent her to the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Mitchell was on the phone with Epstein when she arrived. He said into the phone: "She's here." He asked for a massage, then oral sex, then intercourse. Epstein later sent her to Mitchell again at the Four Seasons in Washington, D.C. She had no reservation in her own name; Mitchell told her she would be staying with him. No gifts or money were exchanged.

Leon Black: She went to a "big house" and met Black in a conference room. She saw Black four times in New York in 2004. She described him as tall, heavy, large stomach, gray hair, big nose, mole on face.

Prince Andrew: At a later visit to Epstein's New York home (this time with her husband), Prince Andrew was in the kitchen with another girl. Epstein told Andrew she was good at massages. She massaged Andrew's back. Epstein left the room and came back with a camera.

This is the first FBI FD-302 in the public record where a witness describes being dispatched by Epstein to service specific named individuals under an FBI case number (previous reporting came from civil depositions and lawsuits). Mitchell has denied inappropriate conduct. Black paid $158 million in settlements with Epstein's accusers in 2021.

The Victim Who Visited 100+ Times (EFTA02857840)

Introduced to Epstein by a 17-year-old girl at age 14, around 2000. Epstein asked her age. She uttered "four" and then said 17. Epstein responded: "so you are fourteen." He told her "they would not tell anyone."

She went to Epstein's Palm Beach residence over 100 times across roughly three years. Of all the massages she provided, only three were "regular." The others involved, at minimum, Epstein masturbating.

Epstein sent her Victoria's Secret bras and underwear, massage oils, and a book titled "Massage for Dummies" via FedEx. He asked if she had any friends, specifically younger friends. At 16, a photographer took nude photographs of her at multiple locations around the Palm Beach residence.

She mentioned speaking to Michael Jackson over the telephone during one visit.

The Chilean Witness and Trump on Speakerphone (EFTA02857857)

A woman from Queens, born in Chile, first abused at age 16 (around 2003-2004). On her third visit to Epstein, she entered the massage room and he was on a speakerphone call with Donald Trump.

At 19, when she came to Epstein's office seeking a job, he "grabbed her breasts, gave her $100, and told her to bring him girls." That was her breaking point. She left the money on the table.

The 16-Year-Old Model (EFTA02858445)

Introduced to Epstein at 16 during her first modeling season in New York. Living alone in a models' apartment. Epstein showed her photographs of Bill Clinton and said they were "best friends." Called Halle Berry and Naomi Campbell on speakerphone to impress her. Told her he "had a pull at Harvard" if she did well on her SATs.

The abuse escalated to forced oral sex. Epstein said she was "his best little cocksucker." He told her "I could buy your agency right now." When she resisted, he threatened: "I could make you disappear." She became suicidal, had a panic attack, and a modeling campaign had to be put on hold. Her mother eventually answered one of his calls and threatened to call the police.

At his Paris residence, she described an entire wall framed with what looked like "girls gone wild," pictures of girls on spring break. Epstein's assistant Ghislaine Maxwell booked her return flight.

The Mother's Account (EFTA02857845)

A mother's account of her high school daughter's trip to Epstein's New Mexico ranch, around spring 1996. Epstein told her 20 to 25 students were supposed to go. Maxwell would be there "hosting and watching the students."

A family friend named Dietmar Heusinger warned the trip "might be a bad idea because he knew of Maxwell and her family was bad." The daughter returned "upset and tired." Later, from Thailand on a trip paid for by Epstein, the daughter called her mother hysterical: "they did something to her." Heusinger told the mother that "Epstein and Maxwell were too rich and powerful to fight" and "they could make her disappear."

The Admirals Cove Victim (EFTA02858453)

First abused by Epstein at age 14. She told him about being molested by family members; he said he was "sorry." She used cocaine before every visit because she was "uncomfortable." Maxwell commented on her breasts and felt them. Epstein arranged for her to have sex with an unidentified man described as "chunky and bald," who paid $600-700.

After Epstein, she became an escort for a few months.

The Massage Therapist (EFTA02857860)

A licensed massage therapist who worked for Epstein for six years beginning around 1993, referred by Ghislaine Maxwell. She massaged Prince Andrew at the New York house and "Donald Trump's feet" on a plane from Palm Beach to New York. She said she never witnessed anything "weird or odd" or saw minor females, only women in their early 20s.

The 582-Page FBI Case File

The largest single document in the expansion is a 582-page FBI case file for the original Miami/Palm Beach investigation: "EPSTEIN, JEFFREY; GHISLAINE N. MAXWELL; WSTA, CHILD PROSTITUTION," case number 31E-MM-108062.

The PDF bundles the entire case file into one place: Electronic Communications, interview summaries, evidence logs, victim assistance letters, subpoenas, and administrative records spanning July 2006 through March 2015.

What's In It

Staff interviews:
- Larry Visoski (chief pilot, pp.70-72): mentioned a condom joke involving Trump on the aircraft (p.71)
- David Rogers (pilot, pp.70-71, 88): detailed both planes' ownership through JEGE Inc. and Hyperion Air; said there'd been "too many to count" females ages 21-23 but never witnessed underage girls
- David Mullen (chef, pp.80-83): identified John Kerry and "Aaron Barak" as aircraft passengers (p.80); estimated four or five teenaged females visited the Palm Beach residence daily (p.81)
- Alfredo Rodriguez (butler, p.109): described the "black book," daily routine
- Janusz Banasiak (houseman, pp.113-116): property management, petty cash
- Brice Gordon (Zorro Ranch manager, p.104): interview interrupted (see below)

20-25 victim interviews documented as Electronic Communications.

Complete subpoena sub-file: Administrative subpoenas to Cingular, T-Mobile, Sprint, BellSouth, MetroPCS, Verizon, AT&T (subscriber info and call detail records), JetBlue, MySpace, Road Runner, Extra Touch Flowers, Colonial Bank, Capital One, and Chase/Washington Mutual.

Physical evidence: ~50+ 1A/1C cover sheets for biographical files, photographs, and notes. Victim Assistance Program letters (~30+) with VIN/PIN identifiers. CHS (Confidential Human Source) reports from Jacksonville (2010). A grand jury subpoena to the Dalton School for Epstein's employment records (pp.28-30).

The Brice Gordon Interruption

FBI agents interviewing Brice Gordon, the ranch manager at Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, were interrupted in real time (p.104). Gordon and his wife had managed the ranch for about four years. He was describing Epstein's routine (roughly 50 days a year, 2-3 week summer stays, shuttled by helicopter) when his wife received a phone call from the "main office." The interview was immediately ended.

Three Structural Problems

No FD-302s in the case file. All interviews are documented as Electronic Communications (FD-1057s) with synopses rather than verbatim Q&A. Either the formal 302s exist in a separate sub-file not included in this production, or they were withheld. For a case of this magnitude, that's unusual.

The active investigation lasted about 8 months (July 2006 to March 2007) before one of the co-case agents was transferred to FBI Headquarters. A brief revival in 2011 (victim contacts USAO, agents meet with Brad Edwards, an agent travels to Sydney to interview a U.S. citizen victim) produced nothing.

No Maxwell interview. She was added as a subject in December 2006 but was never interviewed in this case.

Date stamp problem: Nearly every EC carries "Date: 12/04/2018" (the batch digitization date), not the original date. The actual dates have to be extracted from the body text.

For related analysis, see FBI 302 Missing Serials Dossier and Phone Records Investigation.

The MCC Grand Jury Transcripts

Three documents from the prosecution of MCC correctional officers Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, who were on duty the night Epstein died. These are the first publicly available grand jury materials from that case.

The Prosecution Presentation (EFTA02731790)

A 22-page prosecution deck dated November 14, 2019 summarized the investigation: 27 MCC employees and 16 inmates interviewed, hundreds of hours of SHU video reviewed.

Every institutional count the night of August 9-10, 2019, was fabricated. The 4pm, 10pm, midnight, 3am, and 5am counts were all signed without being performed (confirmed by video). No one approached the entrance to Epstein's tier between approximately 10:30pm on August 9 and 6:33am on August 10, an 8-hour gap.

Noel browsed furniture sales websites. Thomas browsed motorcycle listings. Both appeared to sleep for about 2 hours. Noel falsified more than 75 separate 30-minute round entries.

Thomas told investigators: "We messed up. I messed up, she's not to blame, we didn't do any rounds."

The Grand Jury Transcripts (EFTA02731812 and EFTA02731852)

Two grand jury sessions. The first (40 pages, November 14 at 2:18pm) featured FBI Special Agent testimony with video evidence played for the jurors. The second (9 pages, November 19) presented the six-count indictment (conspiracy plus five substantive false-document counts). The grand jury voted to indict.

Both guards later entered deferred prosecution agreements (100 hours of community service) and charges were dismissed in January 2022. Neither was convicted.

Other Findings

Post-Search Warrant Renovation (EFTA02858461)

A detailed interview with Janusz Banasiak, Epstein's Palm Beach houseman from 2005 to 2017. Banasiak was initially interviewed by Ghislaine Maxwell at her townhouse "between Park and Lex" in Manhattan, then by Epstein at the Madison Avenue office.

The key disclosure: after the October 2005 search warrant, the Palm Beach house was renovated over 6 to 8 months while Epstein was absent. "Walls and floor rebuilt." Six to eight months of construction, after a search warrant. Whatever was in those walls is gone.

Banasiak also described the phone protocol: "JE did not answer the phones. GM tells me to answer and what to say, introduce myself, this is EPSTEIN residence, and I'm not allowed to tell that person if he is here or not."

Nygard-Epstein Investigation Coordination (EFTA02858465)

An FBI Tactical Intelligence Report dated March 13, 2020, classified LAW ENFORCEMENT SENSITIVE. SDNY contacted FBI New York regarding Peter Nygard victims who attended his "pamper parties" in the Bahamas, where he targeted young teens under the guise of modeling. The report focused on Suelyn Medeiros, described as both Nygard's girlfriend and an alleged victim.

Its presence in the EFTA production, filed under the Epstein case number, confirms the Nygard and Epstein investigations were being coordinated by the same SDNY team.

The Anthony Figueroa Locate (EFTA02857844)

A single page documenting the FBI's August 2020 attempt to locate Anthony Figueroa, who had been arrested. Agents tracked him to Georgia.

Methodological Notes

1. Source material: All document text is drawn from the full text corpus database. The 23 PDFs were downloaded from justice.gov on March 5, 2026, ingested via tools/ingest_new_eftas.py using pdftotext per-page extraction, and added to the corpus (now 1,385,916 documents). Quoted passages were verified against the database before inclusion.

2. EFTA numbering: The original DS12 release (January 30, 2026) ended at EFTA02731783 (a 7-page document consuming through 02731789). The expansion begins at EFTA02731790, contiguous with the prior endpoint. The expansion range extends to EFTA02858497, with a numbering gap between 02731852 and 02857524 (no documents in that range).

3. Secondary Bates analysis: The 53-page gap identified by NPR relies on a second numbering system stamped on pages alongside the EFTA numbers. The math is documented in the Secondary Bates Stamp Analysis. Interview #1 ends at secondary Bates 00057715; the next published document picks up at 00057769. That's 53 pages. The three new interviews account for 16.

4. Date verification: Several documents in the expansion carry batch digitization dates (e.g., "12/04/2018") rather than original dates. All dates cited in this report are taken from the document body text, not from header stamps.

5. Victim privacy: All victims are referenced by descriptive identifiers, pseudonyms, or EFTA citations. The PROTECT SOURCE designation comes from the FBI's own classification. No victim names appear in this report.

6. Novelty verification: NPR covered the PROTECT SOURCE interviews (March 5, 2026). The Post and Courier covered the Hilton Head connection. The Operation Leap Year prosecution memos, the MCC grand jury transcripts, the 582-page case file analysis, and the Nygard-Epstein investigation coordination have received limited or no dedicated public reporting as of this writing.

The full text of all cited documents is available at epstein-data.com/full_text_corpus. This analysis relies on Claude Code running Opus 4.6, which can make mistakes.
