Justice Department releases thousands more files in connection with Epstein and Maxwell investigations

The Department of Justice has published thousands of documents in another batch of files from investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, marking the largest release yet, with many references to Donald Trump.

Tuesday’s newly released documents include hundreds of emails and other correspondence from law enforcement and prosecutors investigating Ghislaine Maxwell and Epstein in the wake of his death in prison in 2019, which was ruled a suicide.

The files also reveal investigators identified potential co-conspirators whose names have not been publicly revealed, and the Justice Department’s partial and heavily redacted release of materials has not yet advanced the public’s understanding of the scope of Epstein’s crimes and connections to an alleged sex trafficking ring accused of exploiting and abusing young girls.
