Epstein Survivors Air Super Bowl ad Demanding Full release of DOJ Files

Survivors urge the U.S. Justice Department to publish remaining Epstein records, citing redactions and unanswered questions

A group of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein appeared in a Super Bowl commercial on Sunday calling on the Department of Justice to release all remaining government files related to the late financier’s sex trafficking case.

The 40-second spot, produced by the anti-slavery group World Without Exploitation, shows eight women standing together with their mouths covered in black marker — a visual reference to the redactions in the files already made public.

Holding photographs of themselves as minors, the women say: «After years of being kept apart, we’re standing together. Because we all deserve the truth.»

The ad urges viewers to pressure Attorney General Pam Bondi to authorize further disclosures. Airing during the Super Bowl was intended to ensure maximum national exposure.

In November, Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, setting a 30-day deadline for the full release of DOJ records. While the department has since published approximately 3.5 mln files, officials say more than six million remain in government custody. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has argued that withholding material is necessary to protect survivors and avoid compromising ongoing investigations.

The campaign has drawn political support, including from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called the commercial «the most important ad you will see on Super Bowl Sunday.»

Despite President Donald Trump urging the public to «move on» from the Epstein case, renewed scrutiny has followed recent document releases, particularly concerning Epstein’s connections to powerful figures in the U.S. and the U.K.
