Claims that France and other nations released unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files containing images of Donald Trump with underage girls have been debunked. The Department of Justice confirmed it did not share any files with foreign governments, and the circulating images were deemed fake.

These allegations spread rapidly on social media in February 2026, with posts claiming France had released unredacted versions. The claims gained millions of views across platforms, but a straightforward Google search revealed no credible news coverage supporting the assertions. Instead, search results focused on U.S. lawmakers reviewing unredacted files and European leaders facing their own Epstein-related investigations.

The images allegedly showing Trump with young girls displayed clear signs of AI generation, including unnatural lighting, irregular facial features, and mirrored shadows. The Threads account that first posted the claim appeared dubious, belonging to a politically charged fitness coach rather than an official source. The DOJ's statement that it shared no files internationally, combined with the lack of credible reporting and visual evidence of manipulation, confirms these claims as unfounded social media fabrications.
