A U.S. transparency advocacy organization has set up a temporary exhibit in New York featuring a single piece of text: a printed compilation of all the files released by the U.S. Department of Justice—approximately 3.5 million pages—pertaining to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
This library, named the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” has organized the released Epstein files into 3,437 bound volumes, each marked with a specific number and neatly arranged on shelves.
“The truth becomes undeniable when it’s printed and bound for all to see,” states the website of the Institute of Primary Facts, the Washington-based nonprofit responsible for the display.
Visitors interested in reviewing the files at the Tribeca location can register online to access the exhibit.
Due to errors by the Department of Justice in failing to redact the names of some victims within the documents, the public is currently restricted from viewing the files. Exceptions are made for certain professionals, such as journalists and attorneys.
The exhibit also features a timeline highlighting the enduring relationship between President Donald Trump and Epstein, who died while in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on charges related to sex trafficking minors.
Trump and Epstein were acquaintances for decades but reportedly severed ties in 2004 over a property deal, after which Trump publicly denounced Epstein. He has consistently denied any involvement in wrongdoing despite being repeatedly referenced in the Epstein files.
” We are a pro-democracy organization, aimed at educating the public through pop-up museums and real-life experiences that shed light on corruption within the United States and threats to democracy,” said David Garrett, one of the project’s organizers, in an interview with AFP.
Garrett emphasized that there needs to be significant public outrage over how the Trump administration has handled the release of these documents, amid accusations that officials might be covering up Trump’s connections to Epstein.
“Our goal was to spark the public outcry needed to push for genuine accountability,” he added.
The exhibit will remain open to visitors until May 21.
