Jeffrey Epstein’s substantial paper trail is headed for Florida, just in time for the Midterm.
A bookmobile bearing the names of President Donald Trump and the deceased sex trafficker will begin a five-date Florida swing Monday, bringing millions of pages of government records to communities across the state before the Nov. 3 General Election.
The groups behind the project, the Washington-based Institute for Primary Facts think tank and DEFIANCE.org, an anti-Trump nonprofit founded by former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor, are organizing the visit to press for disclosure of still-withheld Epstein records and accountability for those who enabled his abuse.
Survivors are set to participate in the tour, according to a press note from the organizations.
The first stop is Sanford in Central Florida, where Democratic congressional candidate Bale Dalton will join survivors for a tour and media availability Oct. 26 at Palate Coffee Roasters.
Organizers have asked reporters to arrive at 10:15 a.m.
Other stops follow in Kissimmee on Oct. 27, St. Petersburg and Tampa on Oct. 29 and Oct. 30, and West Palm Beach on Nov. 1.
Organizers have not yet announced addresses or programming for the later stops. Public registration and tour updates are available through the project’s website. And reporters seeking access inside the truck must reserve time to do so, as space is limited.
The truck, officially called the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Bookmobile,” carries what organizers describe as more than 3 million pages reproduced in miniature across 440 volumes, each about 800 pages long.
The paper alone weighs approximately 2,500 pounds, they said.
The project grew from a larger reading room that opened in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood in May, which turned publicly released investigative records into a browsable physical collection alongside a timeline of Trump’s relationship with Epstein and tributes to survivors.
The mobile version began its national tour in Dallas in September and has since visited New York, Maine and Washington, D.C., among other locations. Its displays include paintings by Maria Farmer, one of Epstein’s earliest accusers, and books devoted to Trump-related records, The Art Newspaper reported.
Survivor Dani Bensky, who has accompanied the tour, described the effort as a demand for institutions to serve victims rather than the powerful.
“Survivors are not backing down,” she told WGME during the Maine visit.
Bensky also criticized releases that exposed survivors’ identifying information. Organizers say their demand for fuller disclosure includes protecting survivors’ names and personal details.
A February New York Times review identified more than 5,300 files containing over 38,000 references to Trump, his wife Melania, his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach and other related terms. But while the exhibit’s provocative name underscores Trump’s former friendship with Epstein, the number of references to the President deserves context.
Many of the documents in the files were news articles or other publicly available materials sent to Epstein. And notably, the review found no direct correspondence between the two men in those files, which included uncorroborated allegations made in tips sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Trump had denied wrongdoing related to Epstein, and a name appearing in investigative records does not itself establish criminal conduct.
The bookmobile’s Florida visit comes as Epstein-related transparency has become an issue in the state’s U.S. Senate contest. Florida Politics reported Thursday on a new ad Steve Pajcic’s New Deal for All super PAC released featuring survivor Marina Lacerda criticizing Republican U.S. Sen. Ashley Moody over her September 2025 vote to table an amendment requiring disclosure of Epstein files details.
The motion passed 51-49, with Moody and fellow Florida Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Scott supporting it.
Two months later, the Senate approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act by unanimous consent, and Trump signed it.
Florida was central to Epstein’s criminal history. His 2008 plea agreement allowed him to avoid federal prosecution while admitting to lesser state charges involving prostitution, including a minor.
He died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on new sex-trafficking charges. In February 2024, the Florida Legislature passed a narrowly tailored measure allowing for the release of grand jury evidence in his earlier case, which centered on Palm Beach County.
The bookmobile’s final Florida stop will bring the records near the community where Epstein’s abuse first drew police scrutiny.
