Newly released documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein probe reveal some of the high-profile figures who rubbed elbows with the financier.
The Justice Department on Friday released thousands of documents related to its investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier.
The trove of files, many of which were redacted, includes uncredited and undated photos that provide a snapshot into Epstein’s inner life and circle.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution and solicitation of prostitution with a minor under the age of 18. Nine years later, the financier was charged with the sex trafficking of minors. He died by suicide in 2019 while in federal custody.
Some of the images are of his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on multiple felony counts, including the sex-trafficking of a minor. Other photos show the wide spectrum of high-profile figures Epstein came into contact with during his life.
The images include former President Bill Clinton, billionaire Richard Branson, actor Kevin Spacey, and The Rolling Stones lead vocalist Mick Jagger, among others.
The photos are not evidence of wrongdoing, nor do they detail what relationship the financier had with any of the figures. Some of the figures aren’t pictured with Epstein.
