The dust is slowly settling following the release of the latest, enormous batch of files relating to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
After much speculation – and no small amount of public pressure – the DOJ finally made good on their promise to put the documents into the public domain. All told, in excess of 3.5 million email exchanges, texts, pictures, videos, and more were released in accordance with the passing of the Epstein Files Transparency Act back in November.
“Today’s release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told the press on January 30.
It’s worth mentioning right off the bat that a name appearing in the files – whether as a result of them contacting Epstein or simply being mentioned by someone else – is not necessarily proof of any wrongdoing.
And it’s a good thing, too, since a who’s who of high-profile celebrities and political figures are mentioned in the files, including those who have previously denied having anything to do with the disgraced financier.
