New public documents related to Jeffrey Epstein have once again created an international sensation. In these files, names and photographs of many such high-profile personalities have come to light, which were never made public before. These include pop icon Michael Jackson, famous rock singer Mick Jagger and former US President Bill Clinton.
The US Justice Department has released thousands of pages of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This law was recently passed by the US Congress, which was signed by President Donald Trump. The purpose of these files is said to be to bring transparency in the social and business relationships associated with the Epstein network. However, a large part of the released material has been edited for privacy reasons.
Michael Jackson’s name entered in contact records
The documents found Michael Jackson’s name listed in Epstein’s contact lists and social records. According to court documents, Jackson visited Epstein’s residence in Palm Beach, Florida at least once. So far, no evidence has emerged to prove that Michael Jackson had any connection with Epstein’s crimes. His name is recorded only as a social acquaintance.
Questions on Mick Jagger’s presence, but no proof
The name of Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has also been mentioned in the Epstein files. According to records, Jagger is among the many celebrities who had social contact with Epstein. However, there is no concrete evidence in the available documents that links them to any illegal activity.
Bill Clinton’s pictures increased the debate
Some photographs of former US President Bill Clinton and records of social events have also been revealed in the new files. In these photos, Clinton can be seen at various events with Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. These include presence near the pool and glimpses of public events. Clinton has already clarified that she had no knowledge of Epstein’s criminal acts and no legal charges have been filed against him.
Many big names have come forward earlier also
This is not the first time that big names associated with Epstein have become public. Even before this, names of influential people like Bill Gates, Woody Allen, Noam Chomsky, Sergei Brin and former Trump advisor Steve Bannon have appeared in photographs and documents recovered from Epstein’s property. These files have once again intensified the debate on how the difference between social interaction and involvement in crime should be seen.
