Which law enforcement agencies are currently investigating Jeffrey Epstein-related trafficking rings in 2025?

1. DOJ and FBI are the focal point of any federal follow‑up

The Justice Department has been driving the release and review of investigative materials from the 2019 Epstein and 2021 Maxwell probes and has coordinated with the FBI in declassifying and producing files this year, according to DOJ and FBI statements and coverage of the February and later document releases ^{[1] [2]}. Federal filings and motions in December 2025 were explicitly about unsealing grand‑jury and investigative materials in cases handled by federal prosecutors — a clear sign the DOJ and FBI remain the primary federal law‑enforcement actors tied to these records ^{[1] [4]}.

2. Federal judges ordered unsealing; their orders open intelligence to more investigations

In late 2025 several federal judges in Florida and New York authorized public release of grand‑jury transcripts and investigative records tied to Epstein and Maxwell, citing new legislation that compels disclosure; those rulings do not by themselves create new investigative agencies, but they make evidence available that other federal, state, or international prosecutors and investigators can use ^{[3] [4] [7]}.

3. Congress has moved from oversight to active evidence collection

House committees — notably the Oversight Committee — and at least one Senate committee have subpoenaed and published thousands of pages from Epstein’s estate and related records, arguing those materials warrant further scrutiny and potentially criminal referrals. Senator Ron Wyden’s Senate Finance Committee work is framed as a “follow the money” probe into banks and executives who may have enabled the trafficking operation ^{[5] [6]}. These are oversight and investigatory efforts, not law‑enforcement agencies, but they are actively gathering evidence that could prompt prosecutions.

4. State and local investigators: reporting is inconclusive

Available reporting in the provided sources describes federal activity, congressional releases, and court orders but does not enumerate state attorneys general or local police departments mounting specific ongoing trafficking ring investigations in 2025. If state or local agencies have open probes, those are not named in the cited pieces; the sources do not mention a comprehensive list of state or local law‑enforcement actors conducting active Epstein‑related trafficking investigations (not found in current reporting).

5. Political overlay shapes which files are released and why

Coverage shows high political pressure behind transparency moves: passage of the so‑called Epstein Files Transparency Act and interventions by the White House and congressional actors have driven unsealing requests and DOJ motions ^{[7] [8]}. Reporting also highlights partisan uses of the material — requests or assignments to investigate figures associated with Epstein have been framed by political actors as both matters of accountability and potential political targeting ^{[2] [9]}. That political context can change investigative priorities and the public character of which agencies appear active.

6. What the unsealing does — and does not — mean for prosecutions

Unsealing grand‑jury material and releasing estate documents makes a massive tranche of potential evidence publicly searchable and available to investigators and journalists ^{[2] [10]}. But sources note legal carve‑outs: the new law permits redaction or withholding where disclosure would harm an active criminal investigation or identify victims, meaning some materials tied to ongoing probes could remain sealed ^[11]. The documents themselves do not automatically equate to new indictments; they function as leads and evidence that other agencies could use.

7. Bottom line and limits of the record

The evidence in reporting points to the DOJ and FBI as the principal law‑enforcement agencies managing and releasing Epstein investigative materials in 2025, with federal judges authorizing broader access and congressional committees actively compiling and publishing estate files ^{[1] [4] [5]}. Available sources do not provide a full list of every state, local, or international agency running active trafficking‑ring investigations tied to Epstein in 2025; they focus on federal disclosure, judicial unsealing, and congressional oversight (not found in current reporting).
