Newly unsealed court records reveal over $1 billion in suspicious transactions by Jeffrey Epstein with Wall Street figures and related entities, shedding light on his financial dealings and connections, amid ongoing investigations and legal settlements.
A U.S. District Judge has unsealed hundreds of court documents related to the late Jeffrey Epstein, revealing over 150 names of individuals previously hidden in a 2015 civil lawsuit. The lawsuit involves allegations against Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell for facilitating the sexual abuse of alleged trafficking victim Virginia Giuffre. This disclosure follows a ruling that found no legal reason to keep these names sealed.
The U.S. Court of Appeals has unsealed records related to U.S. Rep. Scott Perry's attempts to prevent the federal government from accessing his seized cell phone. The court order includes the unsealing of the transcript and audio recording of the sealed portion of the oral argument. The move was in response to a motion by the Reporters' Committee for the Freedom of the Press, representing media outlets in a separate lawsuit seeking documents from the initial search warrant. Perry's phone was seized by the FBI in August 2022, and he has been trying to block prosecutors from accessing its files. The Court of Appeals previously ruled in favor of Perry's position.
