The documents, released in Florida and New York, include testimonies and depositions that mention Trump’s social connections with Epstein in the early 2000s. While the former president has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, the revelations have reignited scrutiny over their relationship.
Key Details from the Unsealed Records

Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, was known for his connections to high-profile individuals, including politicians, businessmen, and celebrities.
