Unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents explained

Sky News Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielsen breaks down unsealed documents from a lawsuit connected to convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The documents consist of 943 pages which are expected to reveal 170 names, including some of Mr Epstein’s accusers, prominent businesspeople, politicians and more.

A judge ordered the release as part of a lawsuit related to Mr Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

There has been such a rush for the documents that the website hosting them crashed minutes after being released.

Former US president Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew are expected to be named in the unveiled redacted documents.

“Died by suicide in prison” I’m surprised how people still believe it

[hairylittlewombat]

It's just a carrot dangled to the masses. The real shit is well protected.

[mikeburke]

If Trump was on that list it would have been released ages ago.

My prayers are with victims and survivors of Human Trafficking.Amen.

Bill Gates "well he's dead now... dead people don't talk" GOTCHA

"So many high profile names" yet during her little clip the only one she just happens to mention as having been previously discussed is Donald Trump. No other high-profile names have already been mentioned? No Bill Gates? No Bill Clinton? Nobody else?

[browndwight]

They killed jeff thinking the names die with him

[robn]

I’ve learned to never expect the truth from anyone in politics.

[docrivers]

It seems like every celebrity we’re suspicious of have been very quiet lately

[rockpadstudios]

The camera's were shut off, the guards were sleeping, he was left alone. Seriously this is 2 things 1. Incompetence on a huge scale 2. It was a hit.

I am American..and have to rely on Australia news..for non bs bias❤

Trump never went to the island. As soon as he realized what type of person epstien was he never associated with him ever again.

[lechiffre]

We don’t want or need the names of the victims. Sounds like another delay tactic.

[BigChode]

Did the website really crash or is it just because the powers that be are stopping it from being released

[figgy_]

So in other words, it reveals nothing…

[RavenMobile]

She actually kept a straight face saying, "Died in prison by suicide", lol.

[graydenhibbs]

Let's hope that all people envoled face justice to the full extent of the law regardless of social status in society

[Yehudi-tf]

The island is different and the attached lawsuit is the issue here. It should all be released for the public’s view . Maxwell is in a pretty prison in FLORIDA and got a sweet deal . I’d be surprised if she’s actually there . The public who pays the bills is the last to know

[TheCyberMantis]

Slick Willy's involvement was never in-question. It's the "other" names on the list that people want to see.
