The U.S. Department of Justice has released a trove of previously sealed materials related to financier Jeffrey Epstein—over three million pages of documents, testimonies, and correspondence. The publication has once again drawn attention to the convicted sex offender's connections with members of the global elite and has sparked widespread public resonance.
Among the most discussed fragments are witness testimonies mentioning former U.S. President Donald Trump. The documents contain claims from anonymous women about events allegedly occurring in the mid-1990s. They involve alleged sexual abuse of a minor, as well as the existence of a network of sexual exploitation linked to properties owned by Trump. It should be noted that these claims are not supported by court rulings, and Trump has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein's crimes.
After the archives were published, users noticed the temporary disappearance of some documents from the official website of the U.S. Department of Justice. The agency later restored access, explaining the disruption was due to high server load.
The new materials also include private letters from Epstein mentioning Microsoft founder Bill Gates. The correspondence contains accusatory and compromising statements, which Gates' representative has already called false and absurd, emphasizing that the documents reflect only Epstein's attempts to tarnish the businessman’s reputation after severing ties.
A separate block of files pertains to British Prince Andrew, who was stripped of his titles due to connections with Epstein. The archives mention correspondence from 2010 that calls into question the prince's claims of having ceased communication with the financier after his conviction. Also published are photographs and messages, the authenticity and context of which have not been officially confirmed.
Additionally, the documents reveal correspondence with Elon Musk dated 2012. One of the letters discusses a potential trip to Epstein's island, contradicting Musk's previous statements that he had never been there.
The released archives once again highlight the scale of the Epstein case, who died in prison in 2019 before facing trial. His death was officially ruled a suicide; however, many theories and speculations still surround it. The investigation uncovered over a thousand victims, and experts believe the publication of new materials may lead to further investigations and legal consequences.
