Since Donald Trump returned to the White House, his Justice Department has promised, reneged, and then promised again to deliver new and potentially explosive evidence on the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged underworld of pedophilia. The flip-flopped strategy has his allies and his detractors desperate for new evidence in the case, and for answers as to why the government hasn’t released the thousands of records they believe could shed light on longstanding conspiracies about the financier. In a memo released last week, the department and FBI claimed there was no evidence that Epstein had a list of powerful men who participated in his alleged underworld of sex trafficking and pedophilia. And, the memo said, Epstein was not murdered in his New York jail cell. The admission was meant to be the end of a review of Epstein’s case by Trump administration officials who had fanned conspiracy theories and sparked a resurgence of accusations that the nation’s top leaders were purposefully concealing incriminating facts about Epstein and those around him. Just over a week later, however, the effort was reborn as a promise to try and unseal secret testimony about Epstein that took place in front of a grand jury in New York. But who was Jeffrey Epstein, and how did he go from a college dropout to a politically connected billionaire, and then to a convicted pedophile and accused sex trafficker? Why are there still questions about his jailhouse death, and will the Trump administration really make public the answers some Americans demand?
