This gives a timeline.

What's the actual date on this article? The archive version has relative timestamps like "44 minutes ago". Those relative timestamps are annoying in situations like this: is this just a repost of the already releases Epstein docs, or a new tranche?

Actual NYT article was updated 38 minutes ago.

Yeah, archives are not very useful for liveblogs - fortunately, NYT's paywall is quite soft, deleting cookies for nytimes.com usually works.

You can usually read the original timestamp in the page source, the relative ones are often put in by client-side JS:

    <div style="…">
      <span aria-hidden="true" style="…">Jan. 30, 2026, 11:28 a.m. ET</span>
      <span style="…">2m ago</span>
    </div>
