The U.S. Department of Justice has begun to release portions of the files related to billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell while being prosecuted on charges of creating a prostitution ring targeting underage girls. The released records feature photographs of figures such as former U.S. President Bill Clinton and legendary singer Michael Jackson.
New photos related to Jeffrey Epstein, who established a prostitution network targeting girls aged between 13 and 18, have been released.
Following the passage of the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act' through Congress and the announcement that the related files would be disclosed within 30 days, there has been a development regarding the mentioned documents. The US Department of Justice leaked new photos to the media after the 30-day period. The inclusion of legendary singer Michael Jackson in the newly released photos has caused a stir worldwide.
