The Department of Justice has released two more batches of the Epstein files on Saturday, including grand jury transcripts from cases against
Ghislaine Maxwell and
Jeffrey Epstein.
In one document from a grand jury hearing ahead of Epstein's 2019 trial, which never occurred because he died in jail, there were horrific details about what young girls were asked to do.
An
FBI agent testified that a 14-year-old girl went to his home in Palm Beach,
Florida, to massage him in her underwear. The girl was paid $300 per session, according to the agent's testimony.
The girl told the agent about how the massage room had lotions and moisturizers. She also detailed how the walls had sketches or paintings of naked females on them.
A library in the home was straight out of Beauty and the Beast, according to the hearing's transcript.
Because grand jury proceedings are secret by their very nature, it was unclear whether the DOJ would be able to release these documents as part of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed by President
Donald Trump last month.
US District Judge Paul Engelmayer said the grand jury materials had to be released because of that law, but he said mechanisms needed to be put in place to protect victims from disclosures that could 'identify them or otherwise invade their privacy'.
The files dumped on Saturday afternoon were far less redacted than what was released on Friday.
By contrast, the documents released on Saturday had much more context to them. One of the disclosures shows a series of notes left for Epstein throughout 2005 with messages like 'has girl for tonight' and 'she can be here tomorrow from 2pm to whenever'.
One note left for the disgraced financier conveyed the message that a girl he was seeing 'would like to speak to you. I belive (sic) about college.'
In a grand jury hearing on November 19, 2019, for the federal case against Ghislaine Maxwell, an FBI agent talked at length about a girl who met Epstein and Maxwell while at summer camp in 1994 at the Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan.
The girl was 13 going on 14, the agent explained, and the sex trafficking duo interrupted her while she was talking to her friends at a picnic table to ask about her classes and teachers at the art education camp.
Eventually, Epstein talked his way into the girl's mother's home, where he explained that he 'gives scholarships' and 'likes to mentor people', according to the agent's testimony.
Once Epstein came to learn that the girl, still underage, wanted to become an actress and a model, he said he 'was best friends with the owner' of Victoria's Secret. He then pulled her into his lap, exposed himself and sexually abused her, according to the agent.
