Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

Millions of new files relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the US Department of Justice, the largest number of documents shared by the government since a law mandated their release last year. Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted publicly on Friday. The release came six weeks after the department missed a legal deadline signed into law by President Donald Trump that mandated all Epstein-related documents be shared with the public. "Today's release marks the end of a very comprehensive document identification and review process to ensure transparency to the American people and compliance," Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

The files include details about Jeffrey Epstein's time in prison -- including a psychological report -- and his death while incarcerated, along with investigative records on Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate who was convicted of helping him traffic underaged girls.

They also include emails between Epstein and high-profile figures.

Many of the emails and documents go back more than a decade, showcasing Epstein's relationships amid his legal troubles. He was convicted in 2008 in Florida for soliciting sex from a 14-year-old girl after coming to a controversial plea agreement with prosecutors.

He died in August 2019 while in jail on charges in a sprawling sex trafficking case.

"He (Epstein) died in August 2019 while in jail on charges in a sprawling sex trafficking case"

The investigation into Epstein's murder will unfortunately begin in earnest after his murderer is fully demented or dead, and immune from charges.

Even with Trump's intense efforts to hide the Epstein Files, the most recent tranche still managed to produce evidence that the man himself had sex with little girls.

Someone in the Trump regime wanted us to see that information.

I hope that he can hold onto his job and life.

I'm surprised the incompetent Trumpf junta didn't release the Epstein files in the middle of the Superbowl.
