Us Attorney General Hopes to Release Epstein-Related Flight Logs and Names
The U.S. Justice Department is expected to release on Thursday flight logs and "a lot of names" related to Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier accused of sex trafficking who socialized with Wall Street titans, royalty and celebrities. The attorney general hopes to protect the personal information of over 250 victims connected to Epstein, who took his own life in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. This move comes amid growing pressure from Republican lawmakers to release documents related to the Epstein case.
- The impending release could provide long-sought answers about Epstein's inner circle and his activities, potentially shedding light on a decades-long scandal that has dogged some of America's most powerful figures.
- Will this new information lead to meaningful accountability for those accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, or will it simply serve as another distraction from the ongoing reckoning over the financier's dark legacy?
