Court Records Related To Jeffrey Epstein To Be Released

NEW YORK (AP) — Social media has been rife in recent weeks with posts speculating that a judge is about to release a list of clients or co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein, the jet-setting financier who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The truth is less scandalous: There is no such list. Some previously sealed court records are going to be made public, but the great majority of the people whose names appear in those documents aren’t accused of any wrongdoing. The judge unsealing the records said she was doing so partly because much of the information within them is already public. A court official says parties in the case are expected to begin posting the sealed documents on Wednesday.
