Allegations prompt questions about officials’ contentions that there isn’t evidence to investigate third parties

The disclosure of more than 3m files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggests that other men were involved in his sexual abuse, prompting questions about officials’ contentions that there isn’t evidence to investigate third parties for potential involvement in the late financier’s crimes.

Some newly released documents contain allegations that Epstein provided victims to other men. Documents released in prior disclosures, as well as court documents, also point to others’ possible criminal involvement with Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

One accuser said that Maxwell told her that Epstein had to leave his house but that there was a friend staying who she could massage. During this encounter, this associate allegedly offered her money if she engaged in sex.

We all knew this, BUT, the files may present a very, very interesting twist .

That is a very aggressively filmed video

Is this headline for real?

it’s significant because it shows that figures like Kash Patel knowingly lied under oath when they stated there was no evidence that Epstein trafficked anybody

What an absolute display of journalism

I saw a few pictures floating around. One of the docs mentions two brothers and a third guy with specific first names and someone pulled up court documents showing they were arrested a week before the files with them in it were released.

I haven’t really seen it hit the news so idk, my guess is they might get a sweetheart deal as well.

May have… just maybe… who knows?

The fact that to date only one person is in prison is a fucking disgrace.

We truly live in a two tier justice system.

“May have”, like there isn’t mountains of damning evidence.

Other men? Rhymes with Konald Klump?

You leave the Klumps out of this. All he wanted to do is invent a potion that turns him into Eddie Murphy. While successful, it also turned him into an asshole.

Yes, but only when Trump wasn’t the one hosting the party, then it was the other way around. Because Trump learned from John Casablancas, and Epstein learned from both.

It’s truly unbelievable that legacy media headlines still portray the US regime’s statements as even remotely credible…

Well isn’t this funny when you think about how Bill and Hilary refused to show up to court and had the court find them in contempt? I think it is very funny that a former president and first lady refused to testify to a court investigating a pedophile who previously worked as an israeli soldier and had ties to israeli secret services.

Is this supposed to be some kind of scoop? Epstein was a pimp?

There’s a lot of horrible shit in the files. Epstein was a serial killer.
