Epstein Files Unleashed: Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson Named; Trump Barely Appears

• US Department of Justice released nearly 300,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents following the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
• Files extensively feature former US President Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, Diana Ross, Mick Jagger, Prince Andrew, Kevin Spacey, and Richard Branson.
• Donald Trump is scarcely mentioned, appearing in a single photo with a check, a book in Epstein's home, and flight manifests.
• Many documents are heavily redacted, with names of victims, masseuses, and images of abuse blacked out; featuring in files doesn't imply wrongdoing.
• Lawmakers from both parties, including Chuck Schumer, Thomas Massie, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, criticized the release as incomplete and a "coverup".

Why It Matters: Epstein files reveal high-profile names like Clinton, Jackson, but face criticism for heavy redactions.
