In 2019, Jeffrey Epstein was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, but he died under controversial circumstances in his cell in New York before facing trial. The United States Attorney General's Office, led by Pamela Bondi, in collaboration with the FBI, has released the first phase of the declassified files related to the Epstein case, which are crucial documents in the investigation of the crimes committed by Epstein, who sexually abused more than 250 minors at his residences in New York and Florida, among other places.
The declassified files, which are being gradually published, will be available for consultation through the official channels of the United States Department of Justice, as well as on the FBI's website and other government resources. The release of these documents aims to ensure the protection of the victims and those involved in ongoing legal proceedings.
Jeffrey Epstein was a billionaire with connections in influential political and economic circles. Following his death, pressure on the United States Government to reveal potential accomplices and clients involved in his crimes has not diminished. The disclosure of these files represents a step forward in the transparency demanded by American society, which has called for the declassification of all documents related to the case.
This first phase of the files includes flight logs and Epstein's famous address book, with names of public figures linked to the scandal. Although much of the information had already been public in court or legal filings, the formal release allows for greater access to key documents in the ongoing pursuit of justice. Nevertheless, officials from the Department of Justice have mentioned that the new information may be limited, as many details have already been leaked or presented previously.
According to anonymous sources from NBC News, the declassified documents mostly contain information known to the public, although certain key records could provide new details about Epstein's activities.
