"On January 30, the US Department of Justice put much of that material on the internet. It created an immediate explosion of news. The public already knew that numerous powerful people in politics, business, and academia spent time with Epstein even after he had already registered as a sex offender, in 2008. The files demonstrated a vaster scope than previously known."
"Emails show Tesla CEO Elon Musk and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made plans to visit Epstein's island. Epstein exchanged crude emails with Virgin founder Richard Branson and other businessmen. The UK's ambassador to the US, Peter Mandelson, resigned from the Labour Party after the files revealed a photo of him in his underwear and emails showed him sharing government secrets with Epstein."
Federal agents arrested Jeffrey Epstein on July 6, 2019, aboard his private jet after it landed in New Jersey from Paris. FBI agents simultaneously raided his Manhattan mansion, photographing items and seizing more than 70 computers, iPads, hard drives, boxes of shredded paper, financial documents, and a metal safe containing additional hard drives, CDs, 48 loose diamonds, and a Saudi passport with his photo. Six weeks later agents raided Epstein's US Virgin Islands estate and seized more electronic devices and documents. On January 30, the Department of Justice released much of that material online, revealing extensive contacts and communications with numerous powerful figures and prompting resignations and investigations.
