The Justice Department had until last Friday (Dec. 19) to release the federal documents associated with convicted sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. Well, they missed that deadline. Instead, however, a batch of heavily redacted documents and photos were released to the public, sending shockwaves around the country as some of our favorite celebrities had reportedly been spotted with Epstein.
Suggested Reading
It’s important to note just because individuals have been photographed with Epstein that doesn’t mean these folks knew or participated in any of the financier’s horrific sex crimes. Still, when you have people like Michael Jackson and former President Bill Clinton posted up with Epstein and his associates, someone is bound to take notice.
Bill Clinton
President Donald Trump wasn’t the only president found in a multitude of photos connected to Epstein. In fact, Clinton has been identified in several of the released photos, including one in which the former president is in a jacuzzi with a female, who’s face has been redacted.
Clinton has long clarified that he cut ties with Epstein around 2005, way before Epstein was arrested for sex crimes. A spokesperson for Clinton responded to the new photos on X. “The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” the spokesperson said. “This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be.”
Chris Tucker
Comedian Chris Tucker was also identified in multiple released photos. Tucker can be seen smiling with Ghislaine Maxwell — Epstein’s convicted second-in-command– while on an airport runway.
A 2021 interview with Tucker has also resurfaced following the release. In the clip, Tucker explained how he met Epstein during a humanitarian trip to Africa with President Clinton and others. According to Tucker, that’s the full extent of any relationship with Epstein or his associates.
Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson was perhaps the most famous person on the planet– and he arguably still is years after his death. Epstein was clearly a fan of the King of pop, as he has many photos with Jackson, which have been released to the public.
Jackson himself has been accused of criminal activity, including the alleged molestation of several boys at his Neverland residence, we previously told you. He was, unlike Epstein, acquitted of all charges and has never been proven guilty of anything else.
In the released files, Epstein is fine standing right next to Jackson. In other photos, Jackson can is pictured with several of Epstein’s associates. It’s unclear exactly when any of these photos were taken.
Diana Ross
A photo of Clinton, Jackson and soul singer Diana Ross has also caught the attention of file viewers. The three of them are pictured with at least one other person, whose identity has been concealed.
The Department of Justice is expected to release another batch of Epstein-related files by Monday (Dec. 22) afternoon.
