Overview

  • The Justice Department published nearly three million Epstein-related files, including photos, emails, flight logs and FBI tips, with many entries unverified and no criminal accusations for most named figures.
  • President Trump said the files cleared him and urged the country to move on, while acknowledging he had not read the newly released materials.
  • Former UK ambassador Peter Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords as British police opened a misconduct in public office probe tied to disclosures in the files.
  • British police said they are assessing a claim from a second woman who alleges she was trafficked to the UK for a sexual encounter with Prince Andrew, who denies wrongdoing, with new images included in the release.
  • The U.S. House scheduled testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton for February 26 and 27 as lawmakers examine the disclosures.
