Will the US government release additional Epstein documents in 2025?

"We are unlikely to ever see the [Epstein] files."

"They are not gonna release it."

"The GOP will never ever release the Epstein files voluntarily."

"They decided they don't want it released."

"Trump's administration will NOT release the Epstein client list."

"It's a new administration, and everything's going to come out to the public."

"Yeah, yeah, I would [release Epstein files]."

Bank of America has agreed to pay $72.5 million to settle a federal class action lawsuit alleging the bank facilitated the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation, covering women abused or trafficked between June 30, 2008, and July 6, 2019.

Bank of America has agreed to pay $72.5 million to settle a federal class action lawsuit alleging the bank facilitated the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation, covering women abused or trafficked between June 30, 2008, and July 6, 2019.

The plaintiffs accused the bank of "knowingly and intentionally" participating in Epstein's sex-trafficking by lending him financial support and institutional legitimacy, in return for access to Epstein's network and the funds deposited by Epstein, his associates and co-conspirators.

An attempt by Bank of America to have the case dismissed was denied in January, after U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that the bank would have to face counts one and four of the lawsuit, despite having dismissed the other four.

On Friday, however, the plaintiffs filed a notice of a motion for settlement under which Bank of America will cover certain legal costs in addition to the settlement amount, but make no admission of liability, to "forever resolve, discharge and settle" their claims.

The settlement still requires approval before it can take effect, with Rakoff scheduling a hearing at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse in New York for the morning of April 2, 2026, to consider the proposal.

If ratified, the deal would make the financial institution the third major bank to settle an Epstein-linked lawsuit, following JPMorgan Chase's and Deutsche Bank's $290 million and $75 million settlements in 2023.

Bank of America is the third major bank to settle an Epstein-linked lawsuit. JPMorgan Chase previously settled for $290 million and Deutsche Bank settled for $75 million, with both cases handled by the same class counsel.

The lead plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, alleged she met Epstein in Russia in 2011 and was sexually abused by him on at least 100 occasions through 2019. She opened a Bank of America account in May 2013 at the direction of Epstein's accountant.

The lawsuit also cited more than $150 million paid to Epstein by billionaire Leon Black, co-founder of Apollo Global, via his Bank of America account, described as payment for "purported 'tax and estate planning advice'." Black has denied wrongdoing.

Bank of America stated it "did not facilitate sex trafficking crimes" but agreed to settle to "put this matter behind" it. Plaintiffs' attorneys may seek up to 30% of the settlement, or approximately $21.8 million, in legal fees.

The $72.5 million Bank of America settlement is a landmark win for Epstein survivors — real money in the hands of victims now, without forcing them through traumatic trials. Years of aggressive litigation by top-tier legal teams cracked open the financial institutions that made Epstein's operation possible. Justice delayed is justice denied, and this settlement delivers meaningful accountability today.

Paying $72.5 million is not accountability — it's a buyout. Three banks funneled money through Epstein's trafficking network, collectively settled for $437 million and walked away clean, with zero executives charged. Writing a check is not justice; it's the price of doing business, and the financial system that enabled child trafficking has faced no real consequences whatsoever.

This settlement is a landmark win for Epstein's survivors, who can walk away with reasonable monetary compensation for their ordeal without the trauma of an invasive trial. This outcome was only possible thanks to the plaintiffs' bravery and their representatives' aggressive litigation, which, together, exposed the financial institutions that enabled Epstein's operation.
