Overview
- FBI Director Kash Patel testified that police files contain no credible information that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked young women.
- Patel said he would have presented a case immediately if evidence showed trafficking to other individuals.
- The House Oversight Committee posted more than 33,000 DOJ-provided pages in early September, with its chair indicating additional releases are expected.
- Redacted DOJ interview transcripts show Ghislaine Maxwell denied the existence of a famous client list and questioned that Epstein died by suicide.
- Political fallout extended beyond the U.S., with the U.K. removing Washington ambassador Peter Mandelson after reports of friendly messages to Epstein, while President Donald Trump said a greeting attributed to him was not his signature.
