DOJ Release Includes Photos of Brett Ratner With Jeffrey Epstein

The trove is resurfacing questions about the director during his return with an Amazon‑backed Melania documentary after 2017 misconduct allegations.

Overview

  • Newly posted DOJ materials show Ratner seated on a sofa with Epstein and two women whose faces are redacted, with no date or location provided.
  • The second tranche, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, includes more than three million pages, over 2,000 videos and roughly 180,000 images.
  • Reporting stresses the images do not demonstrate criminal conduct, and no new charges tied to Ratner have been reported.
  • Ratner has not commented on the photos as he re-enters the industry with Amazon/MGM’s Melania documentary following years of fallout from #MeToo-era accusations.
  • Earlier DOJ releases already pictured Ratner with model scout Jean‑Luc Brunel, and the broader cache features communications involving figures such as Elon Musk and Prince Andrew.
