US lawmakers have released more than 20,000 pages of documents from the estate of the disgraced financier and convicted late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The documents, made public by Congress, provide a glimpse into Epstein's extensive network of associates, which includes high-profile figures from the world of media, politics, and entertainment.
According to the documents, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the brother of King Charles, was mentioned, as well as US President Donald Trump and his former advisor Steve Bannon. The documents also name journalist Michael Wolff, who stated, "I have been trying to talk about this story for a very long time now," during an interview on Wednesday. Wolff, 72, is a well-known author and journalist, best known for his book "Fire and Fury," which detailed the inner workings of the Trump administration.
The documents do not indicate wrongdoing by any of the parties mentioned. Trump was a friend of Epstein's for years, but the president has said they fell out in about 2004, years before Epstein was first arrested. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
The Epstein documents also mention former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, both of whom have been named in the documents. Ruemmler, who served as White House counsel during the Obama administration, has not commented on the matter. Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, has also not made any public statements.
Epstein's extensive network of associates has been the subject of much speculation and scrutiny in recent years. The financier's connections to powerful figures in politics and media have raised questions about whether he used his relationships to further his own interests or to gain access to influential people.
The release of the Epstein documents is a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the financier's activities. The documents are expected to provide further insight into Epstein's network and may shed light on the extent to which he was able to use his connections to further his own interests.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee said, "The release of these documents is an important step in the ongoing investigation into Epstein's activities. We will continue to review the documents and work to uncover the truth about Epstein's network and his activities."
