The investigation into Epstein's crimes began in Palm Beach, Florida, where he faced initial charges and entered a controversial plea deal. Trump, a former friend of Epstein, faces scrutiny due to past associations and a recent lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over a lewd letter.

People who've seen the Epstein files say nothing in them backs up one of the biggest conspiracy theories about disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and threw the now-disgraced financier out of his private club in Florida after Epstein betrayed him more than once by hiring people who had worked for him.

Questions persist about how Jeffrey Epstein, who once moved among the world's elite, was able to avoid federal prosecution for so long. A timeline suggests some answers.

Trump had directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release “any and all pertinent" grand jury documents as pressure continues to mount on the administration over Epstein.

Pam Bondi took office as Florida's first female attorney general in 2011. Epstein had gotten out of the Palm Beach County Jail two years earlier.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has cited the release of the 2006 Florida transcripts in her request for grand jury materials from a federal court.
