Photograph: US Department of JusticeA major new batch of thousands more files relating to Jeffrey Epstein has been released by the US justice department, featuring many more references to Donald Trump than earlier batches contained. The first cache of Epstein files were released on Friday evening after months of delay and stalling from the Trump administration. Mr Trump has broken his silence on the release of the Epstein files, complaining that people who “innocently met” the convicted paedophile could have their reputations destroyed. “I like Bill Clinton,” Mr Trump said of the former president, who featured prominently in the first batch of photographs.
