Which EFTA document ranges released by the DOJ contain phone logs or interview transcripts that are still publicly accessible?
Executive summary
The Justice Department’s public Epstein release — indexed under EFTA numbers running roughly EFTA00000001 through EFTA00008528 — includes files that news outlets and DOJ notices describe as containing phone/call logs and multiple interview transcripts [1] [2] [3]. Reporting ties those materials to discrete “batches” of released documents — notably the fourth batch (call logs) and the sixth/seventh batches (interview and grand‑jury transcripts) — and independent archiving lists show those batches fall inside the EFTA ranges made available online [4] [2] [1].
1. Which ranges contain call logs: the DOJ’s “fourth batch” within the EFTA corpus
Multiple outlets reported that a “fourth batch” of documents released by the DOJ consisted of 152 PDF files of call logs, phone records, handwritten notes and police files, and that these files are part of the sequenced EFTA release the DOJ published [4] [2]. The Internet Archive’s compiled DOJ release maps the public corpus as EFTA00000001 through EFTA00008528 and enumerates individual DataSets such as EFTA00003159-00003857 and EFTA00003858-00005586 as parts of that collection, meaning the phone‑log PDFs are embedded somewhere inside that overall EFTA numbering scheme rather than being standalone, non‑EFTA files [1] [4].
2. Which ranges contain interview transcripts: sixth/seventh batches and grand jury materials
News organizations consistently reported that later batches — described as the sixth and seventh groups released on Dec. 20 — included grand jury presentations and multiple interview transcripts, including an internal DOJ interview and grand jury testimony transcripts [4] [5] [3]. Those items are likewise part of the EFTA‑numbered release; the downloadable, searchable compilation of DOJ files lists DataSets covering ranges such as EFTA00003159-00003857 and EFTA00003858-00005586 within the larger EFTA00000001–EFTA00008528 corpus that the DOJ posted [1] [4].
3. Public accessibility and redaction caveats
While these phone logs and interview transcripts are publicly accessible within the posted EFTA corpus, multiple outlets emphasize that many of the files are heavily redacted and that some sensitive materials — including certain FBI victim interviews and internal DOJ memos — were reportedly omitted or later removed from the live site, creating gaps in what remains accessible [6] [7] [8]. The DOJ itself set up a managed access system and invited public reporting of problematic postings, and reporters note the department acknowledged it had released a fraction of a much larger archive while continuing review and additional releases [4] [2] [9].
4. Practical guidance — what to look for in the EFTA ranges and limits of available reporting
Independent archive catalogs (Internet Archive) list the released DataSets and their EFTA ranges — for example, EFTA00003159-00003857 (DataSet 2) and EFTA00003858-00005586 (DataSet 3) — and those DataSets are part of the sequential EFTA00000001–EFTA00008528 compilation that contains the batches journalists describe as including call logs and transcripts; therefore researchers should begin searching within the broader EFTA00000001–EFTA00008528 index and the named DataSets for the fourth, sixth and seventh batches referenced in reporting [1] [4]. Reporting does not, however, publish a definitive, file‑by‑file crosswalk mapping each phone log or transcript to a single EFTA range number, so any claim about an exact EFTA number for a specific transcript or call log would exceed what the provided sources document [1] [4] [2].
