Epstein documents release – live updates
The Department of Justice on Friday released a long-awaited and huge tranche of documents related to its investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a major development in the lengthy political saga that turned into one of the biggest setbacks Donald Trump has suffered since his re-election last year.
While significant portions of the files are redacted, those that were viewable included images of Epstein socializing with Bill Clinton and former British royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, as well as entertainers like Michael Jackson, Chris Tucker and Kevin Spacey.
Epstein’s case has captivated public attention for years, and been the subject of countless conspiracy theories – largely due to his connections to powerful and wealthy figures in the US and overseas, including Trump.
