Trump říká, že Amerika by se měla posunout dál od Epsteina – ale nemusí to být tak snadné
5. února 2026
Prezident Donald Trump prohlásil, že nastal čas, aby se Amerika posunula dál od případu Jeffreye Epsteina. Nicméně, i když Ministerstvo spravedlnosti říká, že jeho přezkum je dokončen, kontroverze se nezdá být u konce.
Během posledních dvou měsíců uvolnilo Ministerstvo spravedlnosti USA miliony dokumentů týkajících se vyšetřování obchodování s lidmi se sexuálním podtextem ohledně Jeffreye Epsteina. Zástupce generálního prokurátora USA Todd Blanche uvedl, že přezkum je kompletní a neexistují žádné důvody pro nová obvinění. Vysvětlil, že i když existuje mnoho e-mailů, fotografií a kusů korespondence, není jich dost na to, aby bylo možné vznést obvinění proti někomu.

The Epstein Files: Power, Secrecy, and the Pursuit of Accountability

The “Epstein files” refer to the collection of court records, investigative documents, flight logs, depositions, emails, and related materials connected to the criminal cases and civil lawsuits involving financier Jeffrey Epstein. These documents have drawn intense global attention because they touch on allegations of sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and the possible involvement of powerful individuals.

Who Was Jeffrey Epstein?

Jeffrey Epstein was a wealthy financier with connections to influential figures in politics, business, academia, and entertainment. In 2008, he entered a controversial plea deal in Florida after being accused of soliciting prostitution from a minor. The agreement allowed him to serve a short jail sentence with work release, sparking criticism that he received unusually lenient treatment.

In 2019, Epstein was arrested again on federal charges of sex trafficking minors. He died in a New York jail while awaiting trial, and his death was ruled a suicide. His death intensified public scrutiny and fueled widespread debate about accountability and transparency.

What Are the “Epstein Files”?

The term generally includes:

Court filings and indictments from federal and state cases

Victim testimonies and depositions

Unsealed documents from civil lawsuits

Flight logs from Epstein’s private jet

Financial records and communications

Some materials became public through litigation, including cases involving Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate, who was later convicted in federal court for sex trafficking-related offenses.

Why the Files Matter

The files are significant for several reasons:

Accountability: They help determine who may have enabled or participated in criminal activity.

Transparency: Public access to records increases trust in the justice system.

Victim Advocacy: The documents validate survivor experiences and support ongoing civil claims.

Institutional Scrutiny: They raise questions about how powerful individuals can evade consequences.
