The US justice department has released additional files related to the late disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
The justice department gave a statement on Thursday evening, saying the release largely contained documents that had been “previously leaked but never released in a formal capacity by the US government”.
“This Department of Justice is following through on President Trump’s commitment to transparency and lifting the veil on the disgusting actions of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators,” said US attorney general Pam Bondi.
In recent weeks, Bondi had indicated that the justice department would release files related to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges.
During an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Bondi, who was sworn in as attorney general earlier this month, said: “I think tomorrow … you’re going to see some Epstein information being released by my office.”
