Modi has courted friendship with Trump during the perverted era of Trump. Some investigation needs to be done on the nature of this friendship.

Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files

US President Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files, in a reversal from his previous position.

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.

The major shift in Trump's stance comes as potentially dozens of Republicans signalled they were willing to break ranks, and vote for the release of the documents.

The House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would compel the justice department to publicly release the files. Supporters of the bill appear to have enough votes for it to pass the House, though it is unclear whether it would pass the Senate.

Trump would also have to sign off on the release of the documents if it passes both chambers.

Both Democrats and some Republicans have been backing the legislation. Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that as many as 100 Republicans could vote in favour.

Known as the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the aim of the bill is to make the justice department release all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials linked to paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump posted the statement shortly after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.

"The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on "Epstein," are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON'T CARE!," Trump wrote, adding that he wanted Republicans to get "BACK ON POINT".

Trump's reference to Clinton comes after the US justice department confirmed it will investigate Epstein's alleged links to major banks and several prominent Democrats, including the former US president.

The names of Hoffman, who is the founder of LinkedIn and a prominent Democratic donor, and Summers, former President Bill Clinton's treasury secretary, both appeared in the release.

A representative for Summers told the Wall Street Journal in 2023 that the former official "deeply regrets being in contact with Epstein after his conviction".

On social media on Friday night, Hoffman said: "I was never a client of Epstein's and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT [Massachusetts Institute of Technology]." He called on Trump to release the files.

Trump said he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to look into Epstein's "involvement and relationship" with Clinton and others.

Clinton has strongly denied he had any knowledge of Epstein's crimes.

Trump's reversal comes after Democrats on the House Oversight Committee last week published three email exchanges, including correspondence between Epstein, who died in 2019 in prison, and his long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

Some of those exchanges make references to Trump. In one email, sent in 2011, Epstein writes to Maxwell: "I want you to realize that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him."

Hours after the release of those exchanges, House Republicans released a far larger tranche of 20,000 files to counter what they said was a Democratic effort to "cherry-pick" documents. They also said it was an attempt to "create a fake narrative to slander President Trump".

The House of Representatives then announced there would be a vote next week on a much wider release of Epstein material.

In his comments on Sunday night, Trump repeated White House dismissals of the Epstein files as a Democrat-led "hoax". His post came after House Speaker Mike Johnson suggested in comments to Fox News that a vote on releasing the documents would put to rest allegations that Trump had any connection to Epstein's abuse and trafficking of teenage children.

US House to push forward on Epstein vote after Trump reversal​

WASHINGTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives is expected to vote as soon as Tuesday to force the release of investigative files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with passage seen as all but guaranteed after President Donald Trump dropped his longstanding opposition.

Trump's reversal late on Sunday came days after a House petition gathered enough support to force a vote, a rare instance of House Republicans defying the president's wishes.

Until the weekend, Trump and his staff had lobbied hard to prevent any further release of files from the criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice into Epstein, a wealthy New York financier who was, for a time, friends with Trump.

"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide," the Republican president wrote late on Sunday on social media. "And it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party."

Democrats, and even some of Trump's supporters, say there is nothing hoax-like in the release of authentic Justice Department records. Epstein was convicted on several Florida state and federal charges related to his sexual abuse and trafficking of teenaged girls. He died in a federal jail cell in Manhattan in 2019 in what was ruled a suicide, a few weeks after he was arrested on new federal charges of sex trafficking children.

California Representative Robert Garcia, the senior Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said Trump "has tried everything to kill our Jeffrey Epstein investigation."

"He's failed," Garcia said in a statement. "And now he's panicking and has realized he is about to lose this Epstein vote to force the Department of Justice to release the files."

TRUMP FRUSTRATED WITH REPUBLICANS' FOCUS ON EPSTEIN

Trump announced his Sunday night change of heart because he had grown exasperated with Republicans' fixation on the Epstein files and wanted them to focus on the cost of living and other issues that matter more to voters, a senior White House official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he believed a vote on releasing the files should help put to rest allegations that Trump had any connection to Epstein's abuse. He said the timing of the vote was still to be finalized.

"He's never had anything to hide," Johnson told reporters on Monday, referring to Trump. "He and I had the same concern, that we wanted to ensure that victims of these heinous crimes are completely protected from disclosure, those who don't want their names to be out there."

Supporters of the files' release say they also share this concern, and the resolution on which House lawmakers will vote says the Justice Department may withhold or redact the identifying information of victims.

If the House passes the resolution, it would move to the Senate, which would also need to vote on it before sending it to Trump to sign. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune's office declined to comment on what he planned to do about the bill.

TRUMP ACCUSES ENEMIES OF SMEAR

Trump partied with Epstein in New York and Florida's Palm Beach in the 1990s and 2000s, along with other members of the U.S. and international power elite.

The president has said his friendship with Epstein ended some time in the 2000s and he had no connection to Epstein's crimes, and that his political enemies are trying to smear him by insinuating otherwise; he has been visibly angered this year when asked about Epstein.

Emails released last week by a House committee showed the disgraced financier believed Trump "knew about the girls," though it was not clear what that phrase meant. The White House said the released emails contained no proof of wrongdoing by Trump.

Last week, Trump instructed the Justice Department to investigate prominent Democrats' ties to Epstein. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who earlier this year said a review of the files revealed no further investigative leads, replied to Trump that she would get on it right away.

Many of Trump's most loyal supporters believe the government is withholding sensitive documents that would reveal Epstein's ties to powerful public figures who have managed to escape scrutiny.

This has led to Trump falling out with one of his staunchest Republican supporters in Congress, U.S. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, whom he publicly denounced as a traitor after her persistent criticism of how the party has dealt with the Epstein files.

Greene accused Trump of making "vicious and unwarranted attacks" on her in a social media post on Sunday, and she said she was standing with Epstein's victims, who have also called for the release of all possible files.

Imo Trump has been told all his embarrassing moments have been redacted but a few surprises will come out of this. Some of the info already released in the emails, shows he knew what was going on, he was around young girls who were around a peado.

These elite in Europe, USA and other parts are sick and evil. The fact people actually bother listening to them or seeing them as heros shows the wests dominance is ending now.

US House passes measure to force release of Epstein files, Senate could follow soon​

WASHINGTON, Nov 18 (Reuters) - The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives voted almost unanimously on Tuesday to force the release of Justice Department files on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an outcome President Donald Trump had fought for months before ending his opposition.

Two days after Trump's abrupt about-face, the vote passed by 427-1, sending a resolution, opens new tab requiring the release of all unclassified records on Epstein to the Republican-majority Senate for consideration. Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters the resolution could pass his chamber by unanimous consent, possibly later on Tuesday.

The public and increasingly bitter feud among Republicans over the Epstein files had fractured relations between Trump and some of his most ardent supporters.

Before the vote, about two dozen survivors of Epstein's alleged abuse joined a trio of Democratic and Republican lawmakers outside the U.S. Capitol to urge the release of the records. The women held photographs of their younger selves, the age at which they said they first encountered Epstein, a New York financier who fraternized with some of the most powerful men in the country.

After the vote, they stood to applaud lawmakers from the House's public gallery, some of them crying and hugging each other.

The Epstein scandal has been a political thorn in Trump’s side for months, partly because he amplified conspiracy theories about Epstein to his own supporters. Many Trump voters believe his administration has covered up Epstein’s ties to powerful figures and obscured details surrounding his death, which was ruled a suicide, in a Manhattan jail in 2019.

TRUMP LASHES OUT OVER EPSTEIN QUESTION

Despite his changed position on the bill, the Republican president remains angry about the attention paid to the Epstein matter. On Tuesday, he called a reporter who asked about it in the Oval Office a "terrible person" and said the television network the journalist worked for should have its license revoked.

"I have nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein," Trump told reporters while hosting a visit by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. "I threw him out of my club many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert."

Trump socialized and partied with Epstein in the 1990s and 2000s before what he calls a rift, but the old friendship has become a rare weak spot for the president with his supporters. A Reuters/Ipsos poll concluded on Monday found that 44% of Republicans approve of Trump's handling of the matter, well below the 82% who approve of his overall performance.

"Please stop making this political, it is not about you, President Trump," Jena-Lisa Jones, who said Epstein sexually abused her when she was 14, told a press conference outside the Capitol a few hours before the vote. "I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

Trump has said he had no connection to Epstein's crimes and has begun calling the issue a "Democratic hoax," despite some Republicans being among the loudest voices calling for the release of the records from criminal investigations of Epstein.

Representative Thomas Massie, the Kentucky Republican who led the effort to force the vote, accused the Justice Department from the House floor of "protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers."

"How will we know if this bill has been successful?" he said before the vote. "We will know when there are men, rich men, in handcuffs, being perp-walked to the jail. And until then, this is still a cover-up."

SPEAKER JOHNSON RESISTED MASSIE'S MOVE

Johnson had for months resisted a drive for disclosure spearheaded by Massie, who collected signatures from 218 House members for a discharge petition to force the vote. Only one lawmaker dissented in Tuesday's vote: Clay Higgins, a Republican from Louisiana.

Trump's opposition soured relations with one of his strongest Republican supporters in Congress, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has expressed anger at the Justice Department not releasing more details on Epstein. She said Trump pressured her to withdraw her support for the resolution and publicly called her a traitor after she doubled down.

She joined Massie and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna at the Capitol before voting in favor of the resolution, telling reporters: "A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves. A patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me."

Trump said his about-face on Sunday was an effort to get Republicans to move on from a damaging feud about Epstein and "because we have nothing to hide." Trump has the power to order the release of Justice Department records himself, and does not need a congressional resolution compelling him to do so.

Epstein pleaded guilty to a Florida state felony prostitution charge in 2008 and served 13 months in jail. The U.S. Justice Department charged him with sex trafficking of minors in 2019. Epstein pleaded not guilty to those charges before his death.

The family of Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein's most prominent accusers, emerged from the vote with tears of gratitude. She died by suicide earlier this year.

Her brother, Sky Roberts, called on Trump not to delay.

"The reality is, right now, he could release the files today if he really wanted to," he said. "So if he really cares about it, why even send it to the Senate? Why don't we just go ahead and release the files?"

[Bhaijaan]

So Trump had been performing fellatio on a certain “Bubba” who people thought to be his predecessor Bill Clinton. That now has been denied by Mark Epstein to be Billy.

So who is this Bubba guy?

Mike Tyson?
Vince McMahon?
Joe Rogan?
Narendra Modi?
Jimmy Kimmel?
Benjamin Netanyahu?

Also puts into question why Trump was desperate to suddenly cover his White House office walls with gold plating.

Congress approves bill to release Epstein files that will head to Trump's desk

Both chambers of Congress agreed to order the US justice department to release its files on sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the measure in a 427-1 vote and the Senate unanimously fast-tracked it without a formal vote.

The moves come just days after President Donald Trump reversed his position and urged Congress to vote to disclose the records following public pushback from many of his supporters.

Last week, Trump and his ties to Epstein were thrust back into the headlines after more than 20,000 pages of documents - some mentioning the president - were released. The White House denied any wrongdoing.

Republican Clay Higgins, of Louisiana, was the sole House objector and cited his concern about “innocent people being hurt” with the release of the information.

Trump’s reversal from attacking those on Capitol Hill who wanted the files released to saying there was “nothing to hide” surprised some in Washington.

The Republican congressional leadership was caught off guard after aligning their message with the president for the past few weeks and opposing the release.

House Speaker Mike Johnson had repeatedly called the push to release the Epstein files a "Democrat hoax".

The measure had been expected to take a few days to reach the US Senate, but after the resounding afternoon vote in the House, the timeline quickly sped up.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer brought up the bill on the floor of the Senate under a procedure called unanimous consent. Because no one objected, there was no debate and no amendments added to the bill.

It will head from the Senate to the president‘s desk, where he is expected to sign it into law.

A congressional vote was not required to release the files - Trump could have ordered the release on his own.

The bill requires Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” related to Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell no later than 30 days after the law is enacted.

Those materials include internal justice department communications, flight logs and people and entities connected to Epstein.

But the bill also gives Bondi the power to withhold information that would jeopardise any active federal investigation or identifies any victims.

He was being held on charges of sex trafficking, having previously been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008.

During two criminal investigations into Epstein, thousands of documents were gathered, including transcripts of interviews with victims and witnesses.

Trump and Epstein previously socialised in similar circles, but the president said he cut ties with Epstein many years ago, before his 2008 conviction. The president also said he was unaware of Epstein’s criminal activity.

Last week, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee published three email chains, including correspondence between Epstein and Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking.

Some of those make mention of Trump, including one email, sent in 2011, in which Epstein wrote to Maxwell: “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.. [VICTIM] spent hours at my house with him.”

The White House said last week that the victim referenced in the email was prominent Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre.

Giuffre, who died in April, said that she never saw Trump participate in any abuse and there is no implication of any wrongdoing by Trump in the emails.

Speaking after the vote, Giuffre's brother Sky Roberts praised her sister's role in seeking justice for Epstein survivors.

"She did it, she paved the way... She paved the way for us to come forward as advocates, for her survivor sisters to come forward, and we won't stop," Roberts said.

Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the emails were "selectively leaked" by House Democrats to "liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump".

The push for the release of the investigative files held by the Department of Justice was led by Republican Thomas Massie, a Kentucky congressman who sometimes dissents from his party, and Democrat Ro Khanna, a California congressman, both of whom introduced the legislation.

Massie has faced criticism from Trump for his push to release the files, but has stood firm.

“In 2030, he’s not going to be the president,” Massie said to ABC News over the weekend. He added that fellow Republicans who voted against release "will have voted to protect paedophiles”.

Another Republican who has pushed for the release of the files is House Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. She had been a staunch supporter of Trump before the two fell out over the issue, with the president now calling her a "traitor".

At a news conference earlier in the day on Tuesday, Greene said she is speaking up on behalf of Epstein's survivors. She also called out Trump directly.

"Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves; a patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me," Greene said.

She said that row over Epstein has been one of the "most destructive things" to Trump's Make America Great Again movement since his election in 2016.

Survivors of Epstein’s abuse also spoke at the news conference, urging lawmakers to release the files and pushing Trump to do the same.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer said that keeping the files under wraps amounted to “institutional betrayal”.

“Because these crimes were not properly investigated, so many more girls and women were harmed,” Ms Farmer said.

Imo Trump has been told all his embarrassing moments have been redacted but a few surprises will come out of this.

That's simply not possible as the original documents are with multiple agencies within US and with multiple countries outside US.

They trying to retract and spread that copy will only make things worse for them.

Also it's funny blaming the west when so many from the sub continent worshipped people like Trump and supported him.

Larry Summers resigns from OpenAI board after Epstein emails made public​

Former US treasury secretary Larry Summers is stepping down from the board at OpenAI, a week after a tranche of emails between him and late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was released.

Summers said in a statement to the BBC that he was "grateful for the opportunity to have served, excited about the potential of the company, and look forward to following their progress".

Summers, who was also once the president of Harvard University, said on Monday that he would be stepping back from public commitments over his ties to Epstein.

The recently released emails showed Summers communicated with Epstein until the day before Epstein's 2019 arrest for the alleged sex trafficking of minors.

In a statement, the artificial intelligence company said it respected Summers' decision to resign.

"We appreciate his many contributions and the perspective he brought to the Board," OpenAI said.

The news comes after both chambers of Congress agreed on Tuesday to pass a measure to require the US justice department to release its files on Epstein.

The measure will then head to the desk of US President Donald Trump for approval. He has said he plans to sign the bill, after reversing his position on the issue following pushback from his supporters.

A batch of Epstein-related emails released by the House Oversight Committee last week mentioned a number of high-profile figures in the financier's former circle, without indicating any legal wrongdoing by those figures.

The emails indicated that Summers and Epstein dined together frequently, with Epstein often trying to connect Summers to prominent global figures.

After the emails were shared with the public, Summers said he took "full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr Epstein".

He added that he wanted "to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me".

Summers held senior posts under two Democratic presidents; serving as treasury secretary under Bill Clinton, and as director of the National Economic Council under Barack Obama.

He led Harvard from 2001 to 2006 and remains a professor there. When announcing his step-down from public commitments earlier on Monday, he said he would continue his teaching commitments.

Following Summers' announcement on Monday, the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank in Washington where Summers was a senior fellow, confirmed that Summers was no longer affiliated with the organisation.

Summers joined the board of OpenAI, which makes ChatGPT, in 2023 - following a failed attempt to oust its chief executive Sam Altman.

Trump signs bill ordering justice department to release Epstein files

US President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he signed a bill ordering the release of all files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The bill requires the justice department to release all information from its Epstein investigation "in a searchable and downloadable format" within 30 days.

Trump previously opposed releasing the files, but he changed course last week after facing pushback from Epstein's victims and members of his own Republican Party.

With his support, the legislation overwhelmingly cleared both chambers of Congress, the House of Representatives and Senate, on Tuesday.

"Perhaps the truth about these Democrats, and their associations with Jeffrey Epstein, will soon be revealed, because I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!" he wrote.

Although a congressional vote was not required to release the files - Trump could have ordered the release on his own - lawmakers in the House passed the legislation with a 427-1 vote. The Senate gave unanimous consent to pass it upon its arrival, sending the bill to Trump for his signature.

The Epstein files subject to release under the legislation are documents from criminal investigations into the financier, including transcripts of interviews with victims and witnesses, and items seized in raids of his properties. Those materials include internal justice department communications, flight logs, and people and entities connected to Epstein.

The files are different from the more than 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein's estate released by Congress last week, including some that directly mention Trump.

Those include 2018 messages from Epstein in which he said of Trump: "I am the one able to take him down" and "I know how dirty donald is".

Trump was a friend of Epstein's for years, but the president has said they fell out in the early 2000s, two years before Epstein was first arrested. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Speaking to reporters on Monday night, Trump said Republicans had "nothing to do with Epstein".

"It's really a Democrat problem," he said. "The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them."

The family of Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, said in a statement Trump signing the bill was "nothing short of monumental", for Giuffre and other survivors.

"As we look towards the next chapter, we remain vigilant. This work is not finished. Every name must be revealed, regardless of power, wealth, or party affiliation," her brother and sister-in-law, Sky and Amanda Roberts, said.

The once high-flying financier had ties with a number of high-profile figures, including Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the brother of King Charles and former prince; Trump; Trump's former advisor Steve Bannon; and a cast of other characters from the world of media, politics and entertainment.

On Wednesday, former Harvard president Larry Summers took a leave from teaching at the university while the school investigated his links to Epstein, revealed in a series of chummy email exchanges.

Attorney General Pam Bondi is required to release "all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials" related to Epstein and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell no later than 30 days after the law is enacted. Maxwell currently is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

But based on the law's text, portions could still be withheld if they are deemed to invade personal privacy or relate to an active investigation.

The bill gives Bondi the power to withhold information that would jeopardise any active federal investigation or identify any victims.

One of the bill's architects, Republican Congressman Thomas Massie, said he had concerns about some files being withheld.

"I'm concerned that [Trump is] opening a flurry of investigations, and I believe they may be trying to use those investigations as a predicate for not releasing the files. That's my concern," he said.

Democrats release latest batch of Epstein photos as justice department deadline looms

The House Oversight Committee has released a batch of around 70 photos from the estate of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

It's the third such release from a tranche of over 95,000 photos the committee has acquired from Epstein's estate. It includes images of quotes from the book Lolita written across a woman's body, and redacted images of women's foreign passports.

It comes hours before the 19 December deadline for the Department of Justice to release all files related to its investigation into Epstein.

"These new images raise more questions about what exactly the Department of Justice has in its possession," said ranking member of the committee, Robert Garcia.

What's in the images released

Some of the photos released on Thursday show Epstein speaking with professor and activist Noam Chomsky aboard a private plane; Bill Gates standing beside a woman whose face is redacted; Steve Bannon sitting at a desk across from Epstein, and former Alphabet president Sergey Brin at a dinner event. The BBC has attempted to contact each for comment.

These are the latest wealthy, powerful men to be seen in Epstein estate photos released by the House Oversight Committee - previously released photos also show US President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton, as well as film director Woody Allen, former US treasury secretary Larry Summers, attorney Alan Dershowitz, former prince Andrew Mountbatton-Windsor, and others.

Appearing in the photos is not evidence of any wrongdoing, and many of the pictured men have said they were never involved in Epstein's illegal activity.

In a statement accompanying the photo release, Democrats on the US House Oversight Committee said the Epstein estate did not provide context or timings for the pictures.

"Photos were selected to provide the public with transparency into a representative sample of the photos received from the estate, and to provide insights into Epstein's network and his extremely disturbing activities," the statement says.

The release also includes several photos of quotes from the Vladimir Nabokov novel Lolita written in black ink across different parts of a woman's body, like her chest, foot, hipbone, and back. Lolita tells the story of a young girl who was groomed by a middle-aged literature professor.

One quote from the book written across a woman's chest reads, "Lo-lee-ta: the tip of the tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth".

There are also a number of photos of female passports and identification documents from countries around the world, including Lithuania, Russia, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine.

Most of the information on the documents, like names and birth dates, is redacted but the House Oversight Committee said in a press release that the passports belong to "women whom Jeffrey Epstein and his conspirators were engaging".

Another photo shows Epstein sitting at a desk closely surrounded by three female figures whose faces have been redacted - one has her hand on Epstein's chest under his shirt, and another is crouching to look at a nearby laptop. Epstein appears to be helping the third put on a bracelet.

The committee has thousands of images in its possession from the Epstein estate, which are "both graphic and mundane", its statement on Thursday explained.

The House Oversight Committee first subpoenaed the estate of Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on allegations of sex trafficking, in August.

The photos and files the Epstein estate gave to the committee are separate from what is largely referred to as "the Epstein files". Those are documents within the justice department's possession related to its own investigation into Epstein.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Trump signed into law last month, the DOJ has until 19 December to release its files. The extent of what's contained in the DOJ's files is unknown, and it's likely that much of the content will be heavily redacted, similar to House Oversight Committee materials.

Epstein files released with heavy redactions, sparking criticism and renewed scrutiny

The US Justice Department has released a tranche of documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, but the files are heavily redacted, prompting criticism from senior Democrats and frustration among victims. Thousands more documents are expected in the coming weeks, yet the initial release has already intensified scrutiny of Epstein’s network and the handling of the case by authorities.

Among the newly published material are photographs and records that highlight Epstein’s jet-setting lifestyle and meticulous documentation of his connections. Images include appearances by well-known figures such as Michael Jackson, Bill Clinton, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Richard Branson. Officials stress that being pictured or named in the files is not evidence of wrongdoing, and many of those identified have previously denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated there has been “no effort” to redact President Donald Trump’s name from the files, insisting that names of prominent individuals are not being withheld. The White House echoed this stance, describing the Trump administration as “the most transparent in history” and pointing to its cooperation with congressional subpoenas. A court document released Friday alleged that Epstein introduced a 14-year-old girl to Trump in the 1990s, though Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing and said he severed ties with Epstein years before his arrest.

The files also include unusual items, such as a scanned copy of Massage for Dummies and multiple copies of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Wolff has acknowledged correspondence with Epstein, noting that Epstein discussed his relationship with Trump.

One striking image shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across the laps of women at Sandringham, with Ghislaine Maxwell smiling in the background. The photo adds to the scrutiny surrounding Andrew, who has already been stripped of his titles due to his links with Epstein. Other images feature Sarah Ferguson alongside women whose faces are obscured.

Victims have voiced disappointment at the extent of redactions, arguing that powerful men are being shielded. Maria Farmer, whose 1996 complaint to the FBI is included in the files, said she felt “redeemed” but also sorrowful for other victims. Another survivor, Marina Lacerda, described the redactions as unnecessary and called for full disclosure.

As thousands more documents are expected, the debate over transparency and accountability continues, with victims pressing for complete access to the files and lawmakers demanding answers about what has been withheld.

Live updates: Epstein files released with heavy redactions as thousands more documents expected

Democrats have criticised the justice department for releasing only some documents, alleging it violates the law ordering the files to be released.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche stated there has been “no effort” to redact President Donald Trump’s name from the files, insisting that names of prominent individuals are not being withheld. The White House echoed this stance, describing the Trump administration as “the most transparent in history” and pointing to its cooperation with congressional subpoenas. A court document released Friday alleged that Epstein introduced a 14-year-old girl to Trump in the 1990s, though Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing and said he severed ties with Epstein years before his arrest.

The files also include unusual items, such as a scanned copy of Massage for Dummies and multiple copies of Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Wolff has acknowledged correspondence with Epstein, noting that Epstein discussed his relationship with Trump.

One striking image shows Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lying across the laps of women at Sandringham, with Ghislaine Maxwell smiling in the background. The photo adds to the scrutiny surrounding Andrew, who has already been stripped of his titles due to his links with Epstein. Other images feature Sarah Ferguson alongside women whose faces are obscured.

Victims have voiced disappointment at the extent of redactions, arguing that powerful men are being shielded. Maria Farmer, whose 1996 complaint to the FBI is included in the files, said she felt “redeemed” but also sorrowful for other victims. Another survivor, Marina Lacerda, described the redactions as unnecessary and called for full disclosure.

As thousands more documents are expected, the debate over transparency and accountability continues, with victims pressing for complete access to the files and lawmakers demanding answers about what has been withheld.

Democrats have criticised the justice department for releasing only some documents, alleging it violates the law ordering the files to be released.

Question is why are there redactions?

If there is nothing to hide, there should be no redactions.

Not surprised. I suspect Trump did some shady things there. It is why he doesn't want to talk about it and tries to cover it up.

Is this Mossad/Epstein gang that controlled the Western Elite and abused young white girls not worth talking about. What that whole sordid episode showed is that MAGA,Sir Tommy, Sir Elon and all the grifters didn't care for the victims, they just used them like the abusers.

Trump trips, a fake video and 10 possible co-conspirators - Takeaways from new Epstein files

The US Department of Justice released its latest - and largest - tranche of Jeffrey Epstein files on Tuesday.

The 11,000-plus documents continue a stream of released information that began on Friday, the deadline mandated in a new law that required the department to publicly release all of its investigative files into the deceased paedophile and financier.

Many of the documents released on Tuesday are redacted with names and information blacked out, including names of people who the FBI appears to cite as possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case.

The justice department is facing criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle over the amount of redactions, which the law specifically states can only be done to protect the identity of victims or active criminal investigations.

President Donald Trump's name appeared more in these new documents than in previous releases. Many were media clippings that mention him, but one notable email from a federal prosecutor indicated Trump flew on Epstein's jet.

The justice department said some files "contain untrue and sensationalist claims" about Trump.

Being mentioned in the Epstein files does not indicate wrongdoing. BBC has requested comment from individuals named in our reporting.

Email exchange between 'A' and Ghislaine Maxwell about 'girls'

Of the thousands of pages included in this latest release, one 2001 email sent by a person identified as "A" stands out.

The message, to Epstein's accomplice and close associate Ghislaine Maxwell, says that "A" is at "Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family".

"A" then asks Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for sex trafficking of minors and other offences: "Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?"

In another email sent later that day, Maxwell writes back: "So sorry to dissapoint [sic] you, however the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends."

The "A" email was sent from the address abx17@dial.pipex.com, with the sender's name shown as "The Invisible Man".

An image from a prior Epstein files release showed a different, but similar email - aace@dial.pipex.com - listed in Epstein's phone book under a contact titled "Duke of York".



Another exchange in the new files between Maxwell and "The Invisible Man" discusses a trip to Peru.

In October, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost use of his Duke of York title following scrutiny over his links with Epstein.

He has repeatedly denied all wrongdoing, and said he did not "see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his [Epstein's] arrest and conviction".

The BBC has contacted Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's team for a response.

FBI email lists out 10 alleged co-conspirators to Epstein

The emails said six of the 10 co-conspirators had been served with subpoenas. This included three in Florida, one in Boston, one in New York City, and one in Connecticut.

Four subpoenas were yet to be served when the emails were sent, including to one "wealthy businessman in Ohio".

Another email sent to FBI New York gives an update on the co-conspirators. This time it appears to mention multiple names. Most are redacted from the file.

Two names were not redacted – (Ghislaine) Maxwell and Wexner.

An email says, "I do not know about Ohio contacting Wexner".

The email is presumably referring to Former Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner, who had a public friendship with Epstein. In 2019, Wexner said he was "embarrassed" by his ties to the financier.

Lawyers for Wexner told BBC News that "the assistant U.S. attorney in charge of the Epstein investigation stated at the time that Mr. Wexner was neither a co-conspirator nor target".

"Mr. Wexner cooperated fully by providing background information on Epstein and was never contacted again," they said.

Possible co-conspirators in Epstein's crimes are a major focus for his victims, and for several lawmakers who have demanded more transparency from the DOJ.

"There's 10 co-conspirators potentially that we knew nothing about that the DOJ had been investigating," Democrat Congressman Suhas Subramanyam told BBC News on Tuesday.

Subramanyam, who sits on the House Oversight Committee, added that he was also "concerned" over the level of redactions that protect names of lawyers and people who are not victims. Lawmakers in both parties have said they are examining legal options to force more transparency.

The law passed by Congress and signed by President Trump states names and information that might be embarrassing or cause "reputational harm" are not allowed to be redacted and specifically asks the justice department for internal communications and memos detailing who was investigated and decisions concerning "to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates".

Justice Department says Epstein letter to Larry Nassar is a fake

A letter included in the released batch of documents got a lot of attention online. But, according to the justice department, it is fake.

The handwritten letter and envelope at first appeared to show Epstein writing to Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor who is serving decades in prison for sexually abusing young female athletes.

"As you know by now I have taken the 'short route' home. Good luck!" the faux letter states. "We shared one thing…our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they'd reach their full potential."

The writer signs it, "Life is unfair, Yours, J. Epstein."

The letter had been deemed undeliverable, and was sent back to a Manhattan jail where Epstein was detained before his death.

The FBI was alerted to the returned letter and requested an analysis of it. That request was also included in the releases batch of documents.

The justice department on Tuesday called the letter a fake, noting several irregularities with the note and the envelope that held it.

"The writing does not appear to match Jeffrey Epstein's," the justice department wrote on X.

"The return address did not list the jail where Epstein was held and did not include his inmate number, which is required for outgoing mail," they added.

Officials pointed out the envelope bore a postmark from northern Virginia - noting that Epstein was detained in New York. It was also postmarked on 13 August 2019, three days after Epstein died.

Even before the justice department's announcement of it being fake, the documents raised immediate questions.

The return sender was listed as "J. Epstein" at "Manhattan Correctional" - but the correct name for the now-shuttered jail was "Metropolitan Correctional Center".

The documents released on Tuesday also show the analysis request by the FBI.

A FBI laboratory request stated that in August 2019, a sender listed as "J. Epstein" at "Manhattan Correctional" tried to send a letter to "Larry Nassar at 9300 S. Wilmot Road, Tucson, Arizona, 85756", the address of a federal prison.

Nassar is currently incarcerated in Pennsylvania, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Trump's travels aboard Epstein's private jet

Trump's name appears more in these files than in other batches of documents released by the justice department.

Notably, in a January 2020 email, a federal prosecutor in New York wrote that newly received flight records "reflect that Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's private jet many more times than previously has been reported (or that we were aware)".

The recipient of the email was redacted.

Trump was listed as a passenger on "at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996", and Ghislaine Maxwell was present on at least four of those flights, the prosecutor wrote. Trump was also "listed as having traveled with, among others and at various times, Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric".

Trump was previously married to Marla Maples, Tiffany's mother, from 1993 to 1999.

The prosecutor also wrote that "on one flight in 1993, he and Epstein are the only two listed passengers; on another, the only three passengers are Epstein, Trump, and then-20-year-old", with the third passenger's name redacted.

"On two other flights, two of the passengers, respectively, were women who would be possible witnesses in a Maxwell case."

The timing of the trips coincide with years in which federal prosecutors were examining Maxwell's conduct and travels as part of the criminal case they brought against her. She was ultimately found guilty of conspiring with Epstein to recruit and sexually abuse minors.

But throughout the files released on Tuesday, many of the other mentions of Trump's name are simply in press clippings mentioning him, his campaigns, and other news moments.

Trump has repeatedly denied wrongdoing in regards to Epstein.

In a statement accompanying Tuesday's release, the Department of Justice said the new files "contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election".

"To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already," the justice department said.

Fake video of Epstein included

Among one of the odder entries in Tuesday's document drop was a fake video showing an Epstein-like figure in a prison cell, which raised questions of how it had appeared in the department's official files.

Other documents showed that a man from Florida sent an email to federal investigators in March 2021 with a link to the video. He asked if it was real, but it is not.

BBC Verify used a reverse image search to find a copy of the video had been uploaded to YouTube in October 2020. The user who posted it said the clip had been created using 3D graphics.

According to a 2023 report by the Bureau of Prisons, no video recording from inside Epstein's cell on the day of his death exists.

The fake video's inclusion in this release gives a glimpse of the questions that federal authorities have received from the general public, many of whom, having heard conspiracy theories or harboured doubts for years, want answers about Epstein's life and death.

What is worse is that these aren't the dregs of society like the ones from Muslim/Pakistani society that the Indian posters were crowing about, these are the ELITE members spanning several countries and all have a similar racial profile.But why are the Indian posters silent on this?

There can be only one answer. It is because they MUST bow low to the British Raj and their offshoots!

They don't just sympathise. They still unconsciously see them as their masters, but the colonisation is mental and not geographical these days. This is why they must speak for them and why they are often referred to as fudge brownies on popular social media.

Officials discover a million more documents potentially related to Epstein case

US authorities have discovered more than a million more documents potentially related to the late paedophile Jeffrey Epstein that they plan to release in the coming days and weeks, officials say.

The FBI and federal prosecutors in New York informed the Department of Justice (DoJ) of the discovery.

"We have lawyers working around the clock to review and make the legally required redactions to protect victims, and we will release the documents as soon as possible," the DoJ said on Wednesday.

The department said it could take "a few more weeks" before all the files are released. The DoJ has been under scrutiny after not releasing all Epstein files by 19 December, the deadline mandated under a new law.

The agency said it would "continue to fully comply with federal law and President Trump's direction to release the files".

The statement did not specify how the FBI and the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York came across the additional material. Epstein had been facing charges of sex trafficking minors in the state when he died awaiting trial in a New York prison.

The news comes after the justice department released thousands of documents - some heavily redacted - related to their investigations into Epstein.

The department has been releasing the documents in batches and top officials have said hundreds of thousands of documents still are to be released.

The files were released after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act - signed into law by US President Donald Trump - that ordered the agency to share all the documents with the public while protecting victims' identities.

Many of the released documents, which include videos, photos, emails and investigative documents, have heavy redactions, including names of people the FBI appears to cite as possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case.

The justice department has faced criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle over the amount of redactions, which the law permits only to protect victims' identities and active criminal investigations.

In a post on X after the discovery of the additional documents was announced, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, a congressional panel that has been investigating the Epstein saga, accused the White House of “illegally” withholding the files.

“Every day we see lies, incompetence, missed deadlines, and illegal redactions,” Representative Robert Garcia said in a statement.

The law passed by Congress and signed last month by Trump states that names and information that might be embarrassing or cause "reputational harm" are not allowed to be redacted.

It specifically asks the DoJ for internal communications and memos detailing who was investigated and decisions on whether "to charge, not charge, investigate, or decline to investigate Epstein or his associates".

Included in the documents are emails appearing to be exchanged between FBI personnel in 2019 that mention 10 possible "co-conspirators" of Epstein.

The emails said six of the group had been served with subpoenas. This included three in Florida, one in Boston, one in New York City, and one in Connecticut.

Possible co-conspirators in Epstein's crimes are a major focus for his victims, and for several lawmakers who have demanded more transparency from the justice department.

Previous releases of Epstein documents have included revelations that reverberated across the Atlantic.

Peter Mandelson was sacked as the UK's ambassador to the US after details emerged about his friendship with the convicted paedophile, and that he told Epstein "I think the world of you", the day before Epstein began his sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor in June 2008.

Lord Mandelson said in a letter to staff that "I deeply regret" the circumstances of his departure from the British embassy in Washington DC. He said being ambassador had been "the privilege of my life" and he continued "to feel utterly awful about my association with Epstein twenty years ago and the plight of his victims".

In October, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor lost his prince title and was asked to leave his Windsor mansion, Royal Lodge, following prolonged scrutiny over his links to Epstein.

In the latest release of files on Tuesday, a 2001 email sent by a person identified as "A" from "Balmoral" to Epstein's accomplice and close associate Ghislaine Maxwell - who was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for sex trafficking of minors and other offences- asks: "Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?"

The BBC has contacted Andrew's team for a response. He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing, and said he did not "see, witness or suspect any behaviour of the sort that subsequently led to his [Epstein's] arrest and conviction".
