Epstein Files
Politicians, diplomats, business leaders and royals have seen reputations tarnished, investigations launched and jobs lost after a trove of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents released by the US Justice Department revealed their ties to the American financier and convicted sex offender.
Apart from the former Prince Andrew, none of them face claims of sexual wrongdoing. They were toppled for maintaining friendly relationships with Epstein after he became a convicted sex offender.
The last tranche of files was released by the US Justice Department on January 30.
The files also included internal communications between American officials, personal emails exchanged by Epstein and his associates, and correspondence touching on India-related business, travel, and political references.
Epstein died behind bars in 2019.
