"The Justice Department on Friday released an additional 3 million pages of documents related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Trump administration says it was the final release of Epstein files, even though some 2 million more documents remain unreleased. The latest batch reveals new details about Epstein's connections to the rich and powerful, including Hollywood figures, tech billionaires, public officials and more. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said it is unlikely anyone else would be prosecuted."
"Attorney Arick Fudali, who represents 11 Epstein survivors, says the release of the files has been a "perfect storm" of "incompetency and an active cover-up" by the Trump administration. "It's so mind-boggling, because they're withholding documents that they shouldn't be withholding ... but, on the other hand, they're showing documents that they shouldn't be showing because they contain unredacted names of survivors," says Fudali."
"Investigative journalist Vicky Ward, who has covered the Epstein case for many years, says despite the flawed release of the files, they continue to shine light on a world of elite impunity and excess. "We just see over and over again in these documents, this was just one big billionaires boys club that treated women like objects," says Ward."
