Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the Justice Department must release its documents on Epstein within 30 days after the bill was signed into law.

Not all of the documents could be released, as the law makes an exception for documents that "would jeopardize an active federal investigation or ongoing prosecution, provided that such withholding is narrowly tailored and temporary."

For those of you with time, two non-paywall NYT articles regarding Jeffrey Epstein follow. One describes his meteoric rise in the world of high finance and society and the other is a diary of one of Epstein's girlfriends, revealing some insights into the deceased child sex trafficker:

1) Meteoric Rise

2) Diary Secrets

Former Israeli spy Ari Ben-Menashe claims in his book "Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales" Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell were Israeli spies. Ben-Menashe alleges they ran a "honey-trap" operation, providing young girls to politicians for sex and then using the incidents to blackmail them for Israeli intelligence.

Ben-Menashe, who claims to have been Ghislaine Maxwell's handler, states that Epstein was introduced to Mossad by Maxwell's father, Robert Maxwell, also an Israeli espionage agent. The book suggests that Maxwell may have worked for other governments as a double or triple agent.
