Fresh claims circulating online allege that a sweeping January 30, 2026 DOJ release under an “Epstein Files Transparency Act” exposed years-long ties between Norway’s Crown Princess and Jeffrey Epstein, while clearing Meghan Markle. However, there is no verified public record of such a January 2026 DOJ document dump involving “over 3 million pages,” nor credible confirmation of new findings targeting Norway’s royal family or formally “clearing” Meghan Markle in newly released federal files.

It is documented that in the early 2000s, Mette-Marit acknowledged having social contact with Jeffrey Epstein before his 2008 conviction became widely known. Norwegian media reported that she later described the association as a mistake and cut off contact after learning more about him. Those interactions were publicly addressed years ago and were not secret revelations from a new U.S. Department of Justice disclosure.

As for Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, there has been no credible evidence in prior court-released Epstein materials directly implicating her in wrongdoing. Social media speculation frequently resurfaces during major document releases, but reputable investigations and previous unsealed filings have not produced verified allegations tying her to Epstein’s criminal network.

Because Epstein-related records have been released in multiple waves over several years—often through court orders rather than sweeping new legislation—misinformation spreads quickly whenever new documents are mentioned. Viral posts frequently blend old reporting, misinterpreted contact lists, and unverified claims into sensational narratives.

At this time, there is no confirmed DOJ announcement matching the scale or specific conclusions described in the circulating claim. When evaluating developments tied to the Epstein case, it’s critical to rely on official court documents and established reporting rather than viral summaries.

If you’d like, I can help break down what has actually been officially released in prior Epstein court filings and what those documents typically include.
