The release included photographs, call logs, grand jury testimony and some documents and records that already were public.
He also defended the decision to remove several files related to the case from its public webpage, including a photograph showing Trump.
Days after Ghislaine Maxwell asked a judge to free her from a 20-year prison sentence, the public release of grand jury transcripts returned the spotlight to victims.Â
The files, posted to the department’s website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release of documents in December.
Asked about relationships that often endured for years, many have offered a similar response: Epstein had money to give, and they needed it.
They are looking at why he wasn't registered as a sex offender in the state and whether the ranch may have facilitated sexual abuse.
