The Trump administration is scrambling to block British investigators’ timely and full access to the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, which could thwart potential prosecutions in the U.K, including against former Prince Andrew.

Britain’s Metropolitan Police have sent a formal request to the Department of Justice, after the DOJ insisted it do so to obtain the original, unredacted documents.

The formal request was made after earlier U.K. attempts to obtain the documents were ignored, https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/24/us-wont-give-unredacted-epstein-documents-to-uk-police-without-lengthy-formal-request" rel="" target="_self" title="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/24/us-wont-give-unredacted-epstein-documents-to-uk-police-without-lengthy-formal-request">The Guardian reported.

Any resolution of the formal request process could take a long time, and it’s not immediately clear what other conditions Trump officials may set before taking any action.
