"A new tranche of Epstein files has blasted its way through the worlds of media, politics, tech, academia, finance and Hollywood. High-profile individuals have once again been forced to explain their relationship with the billionaire financier and why exactly they sent that email, or what they were doing in that photo, in that place, at that time. There have been resignations in Norway, Slovakia, France, the UK and on Wall Street."
"But take the files as a whole and a new picture forms: of Jeffrey Epstein as a man who was seen to survive a sexual abuse scandal, and who was then feted as a sexual svengali and a valuable ally in navigating allegations of sexual abuse amid the #MeToo movement. The 3.5m documents that have thus far been released to the public out of a reported 6m documents pertaining to Epstein in the US justice department's possession"
Newly released Epstein documents total 3.5 million of an estimated 6 million held by the US justice department. The documents show Jeffrey Epstein maintained intimate, friendly relationships with elites, especially elite men, long after his 2008 conviction on child sexual abuse charges. Powerful individuals sought Epstein's company, dating and sexual advice, and used him as a confidant amid anxiety over the #MeToo movement. The files have produced resignations across Norway, Slovakia, France, the UK and Wall Street and forced public explanations about emails, photos and associations with Epstein. High-profile examples include Elon Musk seeking access to Epstein's island and Larry Summers exchanging messages in 2019.
