Justice Department Releases Epstein Files as SpaceX Eyes IPO
Washington, D.C. – The Justice Department on Friday released over three million pages of documents related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, resuming disclosures mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The release includes more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images, according to Euronews. The law, enacted after months of public and political pressure, requires the government to open its files on the disgraced financier and reveal what the government knew about his sexual abuse of young girls. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department was releasing the records.
