The Department of Justice has released some of its records related to its investigations of Jeffrey Epstein. The convicted sex offender and wealthy financier was known for his connections to some of the world’s most powerful people, including President Donald Trump, who long sought to keep the files sealed. The department faced a Friday deadline to release the files. Among the thousands of records released are photos, call logs, grand jury testimony and interview transcripts. Trump plans a Friday evening speech on the economy in Rocky Mount, North Carolina.
