The U.S. Justice Department has released more than 300,000 pages of records from investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, responding to mounting political pressure and a new law compelling disclosure. The trove, posted online with redactions, immediately intensified a yearslong fight over transparency around the late financier and convicted sex offender’s connections to powerful figures. It was not immediately clear how much of the material is new, given extensive disclosures since Epstein’s 2019 death in a New York jail, ruled…

Ghislaine Maxwell has asked a U.S. federal judge to throw out her sex trafficking conviction and free her from a 20-year sentence, arguing in a habeas corpus petition that “substantial new evidence” and constitutional violations undermined the fairness of her 2021 trial. Filed in Manhattan federal court, the petition asserts that material that could have led to Maxwell’s acquittal was withheld while false evidence reached the jury, resulting in what her lawyers describe as a “complete miscarriage of justice.” In the filing,…

He has photos with everybody. I mean, almost — there are hundreds and hundreds of people…
