Jeffrey Epstein files released: The United States Department of Justice on Thursday released additional government documents related to convicted sex offender and late financier, Jeffery Epstein.

US Attorney General released Jeffrey Epstein files and said that the move was aimed to build transparency as part of Donald Trump's commitment.

Although Pam Bondi claimed that additional Jeffrey Epstein files would “lift veil on” his disgusting actions, news agency Associated Press, reports that the first wave of files didn't include bombshells about the sex trafficking case. However, the DOJ has released the disgraced investor's contact list and details of his flight travels.
