https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/02/new-jeffrey-epstein-files-key-takeaways

Just the outline:

As Guardian reporters continue to review the files, here are some of the key findings so far.

1. Epstein lawyers discussed possibility of cooperation days before his death
2. FBI received allegations about Trump
3. Musk had more extensive ties to Epstein than previously known
4. Howard Lutnick made plans to visit Epstein’s island
5. Mountbatten-Windsor invited Epstein to Buckingham Palace
6. Richard Branson and Epstein exchanged emails
7. Files show emails between head of LA Olympics committee and Ghislaine Maxwell
8. New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch exchanged emails with Epstein
9. Files shed new light on relationship between Epstein and Peter Mandelson
10. Hollywood film-maker Brett Ratner appears in image with Epstein and two women

And by the way, don't ever ask the DOJ to redact your face from files.
Sometimes they get it bass-ackwards.
