About the DOJ deletion audit

Beginning February 2026, the DOJ began removing files from its Epstein Library without public explanation. Independent researcher rhowardstone performed a systematic audit comparing the January 30, 2026 baseline against live DOJ URLs, confirming ~64,259 documents returning HTTP 404. DocketZero's resolve endpoint checks DOJ first on every document request - if the DOJ file is gone, we serve the preserved copy from our DreamObjects archive and log the removal automatically.

Recovery methodology

How DocketZero fills gaps in partially preserved datasets.

Datasets 9, 10, and 11 were not fully captured before the DOJ began removing bulk download links on February 6, 2026. DocketZero is recovering missing files using Wayback Machine captures, community-contributed archives (Kino, JDrive, rhowardstone), and direct DOJ server requests where files remain live. Recovery progress is tracked continuously. The wayback_recovery.py script runs against Internet Archive captures to retrieve files that were indexed by the Wayback Machine before DOJ removal.
