Context
The scandal surrounding financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died in a prison cell in 2019 under unexplained circumstances, has caused a wave of public outrage in the US for years. His case involves dozens of influential individuals, including politicians, businessmen, and even members of royal families.
Along with Epstein, his associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted, who, according to the investigation, helped recruit underage girls for sexual exploitation.
The current wave of interest in the so-called "Epstein files" arose after certain documents in the case were released, but key figures' names were redacted. The public and a number of US lawmakers demand full disclosure of information, and legal disputes regarding the legality of such subpoenas have been ongoing for years.
