NEW YORK - U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has released a list of more than 300 high-profile individuals whose names appear in U.S. financier Jeffrey Epstein's documents, Fox News reported, citing her letter to members of Congress.
According to the TV channel, the letter contains a list of all former and current officials or politically prominent people whose names were mentioned at least once in the materials released by the US Department of Justice in connection with the Epstein case. Among them are Britain's Prince Harry, American TV star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian, musicians Kurt Cobain and Bruce Springsteen and other celebrities.
The letter states that the Department has released all „records, documents, communications and investigative materials“ in its possession, which fall into nine categories, including data on human trafficking, withholding of documents, etc.
„No records were withheld or censored ‚on grounds of embarrassment, reputational damage or political sensitivity, including any government official, public figure or foreign dignitary,‘“ Fox News quoted Bondi as saying.
Epstein was arrested by New York law enforcement on July 6, 2019. Prosecutors said that between 2002 and 2005, he arranged for dozens of underage girls, the youngest of whom was 14, to visit his Manhattan home. Epstein's circle of friends and acquaintances included current and former officials from the U.S. and many other countries, including former heads of state, as well as prominent businessmen and show business stars. Criminal proceedings against the financier in the US were dropped after he allegedly hanged himself in his prison cell in August 2019.
