The U.S. Department of Justice published the last, extended collection of papers related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The publication, ordered by Congress, reveals fresh details of the financial ties, but contains no criminal charges against the listed prominent persons.
Deputy lawyer General Todd Blanche announced on Friday that more than 3 million pages, 2,000 films and 180,000 photos would be made public, however, indicating that there was an extended editorial service in place to defend victims' identities and defend ongoing investigations.
A collection of documents, which was created more than a period after the deadline set by Congress, ends the Trump administration's work under the Transparency Act of Epstein.
Many known names are revealed
New documents, coming from FBI investigations and Epstein's own files, contain emails in which Tesla's president Elon Musk discusses plans to visit Epstein's private island. At the end of 2013, Musk sent an email to Epstein, informing him that he would be on Saint Barts and asking for a “good time to visit”, and Epstein proposed sending a helicopter. The visit failed, and Musk publically stated that he had never visited the island.
In a separate 2013 e-mail, Epstein sent himself a paper in the form of a resignation letter from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in which he found a sensational and unconfirmed allegation that Gates was looking for aid in getting drugs, “to deal with the consequences of sex with the Russians”. Gates' spokesperson rejected these claims as “absolutely absurd and completely false”.
The records besides point to maintaining contacts between Epstein and Trade Secretary Howard Lutnick until 2018, contrary to Lutnick's earlier claims that he had broken ties with them in 2005. The flight schedules and schedules besides mention Prince Andrew, as well as another persons specified as technological tycoon Peter Thiel and Steve Bannon, erstwhile US president Donald Trump's advisor.
Unconfirmed Tips Against Trump
Part of the box contains summaries of instructions sent to the FBI public information line containing unconfirmed allegations of Trump's abuse of Epstein. The Justice Department preceded the publication by a message that any papers "include false and sensational allegations against president Trump", which it referred to as "unwarranted and false".
Blanche stressed that the analysis of Epstein's private e-mails did not uncover any proposition from Epstein that Trump had "done any crime or had any inappropriate contact with any of his victims". The e-mails show that Epstein frequently ignored Trump, calling him "a fool" and questioning his intellectual fitness.
Department of Justice dismisses cover-up charges
During a press conference, Blanche defended the delayed disclosure, citing the monumental task of reviewing millions of pages. He definitely denied the cover-up charges.
"There is no organization of super-secret papers to keep hidden," he said, adding that the White home "did not exercise supervision" over the review process.
The disclosure besides includes fresh material on Epstein's co-worker, Ghislaine Maxwell, presently serving a 20-year sentence, including her police photograph and naturalization certificate, on which her profession of "manedger" Epstein appears.
This followed Maxwell's fresh motion to court, in which he claimed that Epstein's 29 alleged associates had avoided prosecution, mainly through secret agreements—which Blanche claimed he did not know.
The publication of final papers did not complete intense speculation on Epstein's grid. Legislators and the public are viewing heavy censored files in search of fresh clues about the scale of his crimes and the influential circles in which he revolved.
