Original source

The Justice Department released a tranche of its records on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, a partial disclosure that will only serve to keep interest in — and questions about — the case stoked. The material included court records and evidence from the legal case against Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence on sex trafficking charges. Among the documents were a heavily redacted contact book a “masseuse list” that shows 254 entries, all of them blacked out. Some of the other documents had already been publicly disclosed, including more than 20,000 pages of documents released by the House Oversight Committee. Bloomberg News Senior Investigative Reporter Jason Leopold joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)
