Millions of new files relating to the notorious American financier were released last Friday. They included emails and text messages between Epstein and some public figures who - before the files were released - claimed they had distanced themselves from him following his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. The files also include documents that show discussions about potential business deals involving Epstein, who died in prison in 2019, and high-level sports executives.
COLLINS: President Trump is arguing it's time for the country to move on from the Epstein files, despite his own campaign pledges to fully release them, and also declined to address the concerns that survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse are raising, following the latest release of files from the Justice Department. Instead of responding to those concerns, the president instead lashed out when I asked him about it inside the Oval Office today, after he argued that the Epstein saga is a Democrat problem, not a Republican one.

The U.S. government's release of over three million new documents, including 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, from Jeffrey Epstein's file exposes the hypocrisy of the Trump administration regarding the manner and timing of its public disclosure. It also raises well-founded suspicions that the breadth and influence of the sex offender's circle of accomplices contributed to his initial 2008 sentence being very lenient, thus allowing his heinous crimes to continue with complete impunity until July 2019.
Oh, well, that picture in particular happened around 20 years ago. That is a photograph of my fiancée, who invited me to this event - and that's where the picture was taken. I had never been in contact with Jeffrey Epstein before that photo and I was never in contact with him after,

Newly released emails and travel itineraries appear to show that for years after Jeffrey Epstein served time for procuring underage girls for prostitution, he continued to attend exclusive dinners alongside Silicon Valley's most famous billionaires. The emails, part of a trove released by the Department of Justice on Friday, show that as late as 2018, Epstein was invited to or attended dinners alongside the likes of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
He patronized the New York Academy of Art, owned that creepy painting of President Bill Clinton in a blue dress and red heels, and advised billionaire Leon Black, a mega collector and Museum of Modern Art trustee, on tax and estate-planning matters. But he was not a collector, and he was not seen on the international art circuit. However, it turns out that there's a lot more to it than that.
TO add insult to injury you then subsequently with tears in your eyes, implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you with antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis, Epstein wrote in his message. On NPR's Wild Card podcast, host Rachel Martin noted in an interview with Melinda Gates on Tuesday that Bill Gates has denied the latest claims through his lawyers.

In 2020 Ruemmler left Biglaw for the in-house world at Goldman Sachs, where she currently serves as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel. But her relationship with Epstein has put quite the spotlight on her.
As has been widely reported, at least two email exchanges apparently between Musk and Epstein were among the over three million pages of documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday related to its criminal investigation of Epstein and his 2019 death. Both exchanges appear to show Musk arranging visits to Little Saint James, Epstein's private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The attorneys requested that Comer, a Kentucky Republican, agree not to move forward with the contempt proceedings. Comer, however, said he was not immediately dropping the charges, which would carry the threat of a substantial fine and even incarceration if passed by the House and successfully prosecuted by the Department of Justice. "We don't have anything in writing," Comer told reporters, adding that he was open to accepting the Clintons' offer but "it depends on what they say."
