Jeffrey Epstein’s victims used the huge audience of Super Bowl Sunday to once again call for the release of millions of government documents linked to the late sex offender.In a short advert aired just before one of the most-watched television events in the United States, eight women stood together and demanded full transparency from the Trump administration. They held photos of themselves as children from the time they say they were abused by Epstein.
“After years of being kept apart we’re standing together,” they said. “Because we all deserve the truth.”The public service announcement was released with World Without Exploitation, a human sex trafficking advocacy group. The video opened with the message, “On November 19, 2025, the Epstein Files Transparency Act was signed into law. 3 Million Files Still Have Not Been Released.”The video aired just before President Donald Trump and millions of other Americans tuned in to watch the Seattle Seahawks play the New England Patriots in the NFL championship. Earlier this week, Trump, whose second term has been clouded by attention on his past friendship with Epstein, said it was time to “move on” from the disgraced financier.On January 30, the US Department of Justice released about three million pages from its investigation into Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The release included around 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.However, about half of the estimated six million files have not been made public. This has raised fresh fears among survivors that some of Epstein’s alleged accomplices may never face justice, and has led to new claims of a cover-up.The victims are now leading calls for the remaining files to be released. The video ends by urging the public to “stand with us” and to “tell Attorney General Pam Bondi it’s time for the truth”.The Department of Justice says the withheld files cannot be released because they reveal victims’ identities, include child pornography, or could affect ongoing federal investigations.“We didn’t protect or not protect anybody,” deputy attorney general Todd Blanche said, adding that the department had “completed” its release of the files.More than 38,000 references to Trump, his wife and his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida appear across 5,300 of the newly released files, reported The Telegraph.Epstein died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, in a death ruled a suicide. His longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell was jailed in 2022 and is serving a 20-year sentence for helping him recruit underage girls.According to a letter obtained by NBC News, members of Congress will be able to view the unredacted files on secure Justice Department computers starting on Monday.
