After months of delays, House Republicans have released tens of thousands of pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, after Democrats earlier publicized emails suggesting that President Trump was aware that Epstein was abusing and trafficking young girls and women. In one of those emails, Epstein wrote that Trump "knew about the girls." Trump's allies say the larger set of documents released Wednesday afternoon provide evidence of Epstein's later animosity towards Trump and support Trump's claims that he was not previously aware of Epstein's crimes. Still more evidence — namely, photographs and videos — may soon be publicized, as a petition for the House to vote on the full release of the "Epstein files" received its final signature from newly-sworn in Congressmember Adelita Grijalva. "There is a lot more to come," says Spencer Kuvin, a lawyer who represents several survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse and who has reviewed much of the still-unreleased evidence, which is currently under a court protection order. "The FBI does have more information that needs to be released."
