Epstein Files: The case involving notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the US has once again created a stir worldwide. The US Department of Justice, under the leadership of Attorney General Pam Bondi, released the first major batch of Epstein documents on December 19, which include photographs of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and other celebrities. No significant links to India have been found in the report. Currently, only a portion of the Epstein documents has been released, and it is said that more documents may come to light in the coming days. The release of these files has reignited debate surrounding names associated with politics, Hollywood, and global celebrities.
According to the Justice Department, four sets of Epstein files were initially released. A few hours later, three more sets were made public. In total, there are more than 3,500 files, with data reportedly exceeding 2.5 GB. These documents include photos, emails, investigation notes, and other records. However, the context and location of many of the photographs remain unclear.
Major Controversy Surrounding Bill Clinton
The files have sparked significant discussion, particularly regarding former US President Bill Clinton. The released photographs show Clinton swimming in a pool and partying with young women. Following the release of the pictures, Clinton has described himself as a scapegoat in the entire affair. The Justice Department states that the released documents do not provide any new concrete information regarding Epstein’s crimes or the direct involvement of prominent figures.
