Trump in the unredacted Epstein files ‘a million times’

Two members of Congress have named six men whose names were redacted by the Department of Justice from the Epstein files. Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massie used their parliamentary privilege to name the men on the floor of the House of Representatives. "Seventy to eighty per cent of the files are still redacted," Khanna said. Jeffrey Epstein was a notorious sex trafficker and financier.

Nobody on the list is accused of taking part in any specific criminal wrongdoing or implicated in any crimes. And none of them have been charged in connection with Jeffrey Epstein. The legislation passed late ...

UK police open investigation into former ambassador Peter Mandelson over Jeffrey Epstein links

British police have opened a criminal investigation into politician Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct related to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The UK government says newly released Epstein files suggest Mandelson – a former Cabinet minister, ambassador and elder statesman of the governing Labour Party – may have shared market-sensitive information with the convicted sex offender a decade and a half ago. London's Metropolitan Police force said detectives had reviewed reports of misconduct and decided they met the threshold for a full investigation. Former UK ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson.

Public release of Epstein records puts Maxwell under fresh scrutiny amid her claims of innocence

Days after Ghislaine Maxwell asked a judge to immediately free her from a 20-year prison sentence, the public release of grand jury transcripts from her sex trafficking case returned the spotlight to victims whose allegations helped land her behind bars. The disclosure of the transcripts as part of the Justice Department’s ongoing release of its investigative files on Maxwell and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein exposed how an FBI agent told grand jurors about Maxwell's critical role in Epstein’s decades-long sexual abuse of girls and young women. Maxwell, a British socialite and publishing heir, was convicted of sex trafficking in December 2021 after four women told a federal jury in New York City about how she and Epstein abused them in the 1990s and early 2000s. ...

US Justice Department can unseal records from Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case, judge says

Secret grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 sex trafficking case can be made public, a US judge has ruled, joining two other judges in granting the Justice Department's requests to unseal material from investigations into the late financier's sexual abuse. US District Judge Richard M Berman reversed his earlier decision to keep the material under wraps, citing a new law that requires the government to open its files on Epstein and his longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell. The judge previously cautioned that the 70 or so pages of grand jury materials slated for release are hardly revelatory and "merely a hearsay snippet" of Epstein's conduct. Jeffrey Epstein was a notorious child sex trafficker and friend to many powerful people. (US Attorney of the Southern D...

Netanyahu submits request for pardon during ongoing corruption trial

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the country's president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges — seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation. Netanyahu, who has been at war against the country's legal system over the charges, said the request would help unify the country at a time of momentous changes in the region. But it immediately triggered denunciations from his opponents, who said it would weaken Israel's democratic institutions and send a dangerous message that he is above the rule of law.
