The Epstein Files

A place here on Lemmy to keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down (though probably not his regime).

Only rule is to add [TW] in front of your post title if you suspect that a survivor of sexual abuse might find your post triggering.

That and keep it civil and amicable.

A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors slammed the Trump administration’s latest release of Epstein files on Friday, accusing the Justice Department of exposing victims while shielding abusers tied to the notorious sex trafficker.

In a joint statement issued hours after the release of millions of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, the group of 18 survivors rejected claims that the latest document dump amounted to transparency. They say it instead placed them back in the spotlight while the men who abused them “remain hidden and protected.”

“The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files is being sold as transparency, but what it actually does is expose survivors,” the women said in the statement. “Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected.”

The survivors called the release on Friday “outrageous” and described it as “a betrayal.”

“As survivors, we should never be the ones named, scrutinized, and retraumatized while Epstein’s enablers continue to benefit from secrecy," they added.

Seems reasonable given that Donny is in the files.
