Under the terms of the deal, Epstein avoided federal charges and served just 13 months in a county jail and was allowed to leave during the day to work. Trump tapped the prosecutor who struck the deal, Alex Acosta, to serve as labor secretary during his first term.

One of Jeffrey Epstein's former attorneys called on the Justice Department to release additional investigative records from its sex-trafficking investigation.

Alan Dershowitz said Thursday evening that two federal judges in New York are keeping key court records surrounding the disgraced and deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein under seal to "protect certain people" named in litigation related to his sex trafficking operation.

Instead, the longtime Harvard professor lobbied for Epstein confidant Ghislaine Maxwell to be granted immunity in exchange for testifying in front of a congressional committee.

Newly uncovered photos and footage shed new light on Donald Trump’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. At least two black-and-white photographs uncovered by CNN confirm, for the first time, that Epstein attended the president’s second wedding in December 1993 to Marla Maples at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

Alan Dershowitz signaled on Sunday that any new information related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, will not be found in the grand jury transcripts from their prosecutions that the Trump administration requested be unsealed.

Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Dershowitz responded to recent moves by the Justice Department, including Attorney General Pam Bondi’s request that a federal judge unseal grand jury transcripts. While he supported the unsealing, he warned that the material may not contain the revelations many of Donald Trump’s supporters are hoping for.

And speaking of going to court, Trump said Thursday night he will sue Rupert Murdoch and “his third rate newspaper,” the Wall Street Journal, for publishing what Trump says is a “FAKE” letter. The Journal reported that Trump sent the letter to Epstein in 2003 to be included in a commemorative book for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
