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.

    I’m beginning to think this Trump fellow was up to no good at some point.

    I fully expect a legal review to be brought against him and all the proper procedures to be followed.

      I keep agreeing with the idea that Trump was part of the trafficking pipeline. At some point in a system like this, the abusers wind up being part of the machinery, especially a guy like Trump who literally stuck his fingers in every industry he thought he could get away with. I don’t see him not “returning the favor” by trafficking girls from his pageants and other events to Epstein or other abusers in the network.
