Millions of new files relating to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice, the largest number of documents shared by the government since a law mandated their release last year. This extensive release includes 3 million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos made public only recently.
The release comes after a missed deadline related to legislation signed by President Trump requiring transparency in the document's release. The release was described by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche as a significant move towards compliance and transparency.
Prominent contents in the documents include insights about Epstein's prison life, a detailed psychological report, and communications with some high-profile figures including emails regarding introductions to 'The Duke' of York, and various interactions with major political players like Donald Trump, who is mentioned hundreds of times. Other notable references include connections to Bill Gates, who has dismissed several claims made within the files as 'absurd and false'.
While the documents signify a major step in transparency, there's still much debate around what information has been withheld, as some Congress members continue pushing for the release of additional files. As the investigation evolves, it remains a crucial topic regarding powerful individuals and their ties to Epstein's infamous legacy.
