The hotly-anticipated catalog of classified Jeffrey Epstein documents have finally been dropped which contain some A-list high profile names.
Attorney general Pam Bondi teased earlier this week that the Department of Justice would be dropping a bombshell trove of documents related to the notorious child sex trafficker that she warned will 'make you sick.'
Now, the 200-page dossier has been released into the public domain, uncovering some of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's flight logs, an 'evidence list' of items found at the sex offenders' homes in New York and the US Virgin Islands, a completely redacted masseuse list and his so-called 'black book' of contacts, also heavily redacted.

The disgraced financier was known to have rubbed shoulders with some of the world's most famous faces, including royalty.
Among the Hollywood stars in Epstein's contact list released by the DOJ on Thursday include musicians, actors, politicians and models.
Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is in the book alongside the late 'King of pop', Michael Jackson, infamous 1990s rock singer Courtney Love, and actors Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes and Dustin Hoffman.

Ethel Kennedy, the mother of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as well as the former New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, and the late senator David Koch, Ted Kennedy, and Jon Huntsman, were just some of the political elite Epstein had contact details for.
Also on the list is British supermodel Naomi Campbell, model Liz Hurley, the brother of Harvey Weinstein, Bob, and attorneys Kerry Kennedy, Alan Dershowitz and John Kerry.
Ivana Trump and Ivanka Trump's names were also in the contact list, but President Donald Trump is not.
The list is not a 'client list' implicating any wrongdoing, as it just names those in Epstein's contacts.

However, critics say the vast majority of names released this week doesn't present anything new.
Handfuls of leaked documents have already been released over the years with many of the names on this list and previous files put Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton and the President in contact with the convicted pedophile.
Other documents released include flight logs - which place Trump and his then wife, Marla, on three flights aboard the private jet accompanied by Epstein and Maxwell in 1993 and 1994.

Among a long list of seized tech, hard drives, sex toys and massage tables from Epstein's properties, some stand-out sickening items include a CD labelled 'girls pics nude book 4', a folder called 'LSJ logbook', appearing to reference Epstein's private island, Little St James, other photo albums of 'girls' and pictures of 'female buttocks' and a bag with a 'yellow envelope marked 'SK' dated 08/27/08 containing multiple smaller envelopes containing $17,115.'
The date is significant as Epstein was in jail in Palm Beach, Florida, at that time.
The bundle comes as Bondi says it is just the 'first phase of files' that the department will release, adding that it 'sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins to provide the public with long overdue accountability'.

Prosecutors redacted much of the information to protect victims' identities, including the 254 names on the masseuse list, Bondi said in anticipation of the release.
However, the DOJ head is under some scrutiny for what some are describing as a 'boring' release with very few revelations.
The Justice boss wrote to the FBI to ask why 'my order' to release the full set of documents 'was not followed'.
In response, FBI Director Kash Patel has tasked the Bureau to investigate, adding: "There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned.

"If records have been hidden, we will uncover them."
