The department noted that many documents, including text information and photographs, have been redacted. They assure that they have taken "all reasonable measures" to remove personal data of the victims. However, the Department of Justice warned that due to the volume of materials, confidential information may inadvertently be included.
As reported by American media, the published documents do not contain radically new information about Epstein's connections with high-profile figures from the worlds of politics and business. Mentions of Donald Trump are quite rare in the archives.
However, according to the press, the archives contain numerous photographs featuring former President Bill Clinton. Some images also show well-known individuals such as singer Michael Jackson, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.
Jeffrey Epstein found himself at the center of a scandal involving human trafficking and the sexual exploitation of minors. Investigators claimed that he received sexual services from underage girls and provided them to influential figures. Epstein was first convicted in 2008 for running a prostitution ring, after which he spent 13 months in prison due to a plea deal. In July 2019, he was arrested again on charges of human trafficking, but shortly after his arrest, he took his own life in a jail cell in New York.
