The US Justice Department has requested to release previously undisclosed evidence from the investigation of pedophile tycoon Jeffrey Epstein and his partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a prison sentence for sex trafficking. The department approached judges overseeing the cases, requesting to release financial records and transcripts of victim testimonies, among other materials. Prosecutors asked to cancel an order prohibiting the publication of these details, following a law passed by Congress allowing the release of "Epstein documents." The evidence includes materials from Epstein's estate, arrest reports, photographs and more.
