23日、米司法省は、性犯罪で起訴され勾留中に死亡した米富豪ジェフリー・エプスタイン元被告の捜査資料の一部を新たに公開した。
On June 23, the U.S. Department of Justice released additional investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, the former American billionaire who was indicted for sex crimes and died while in custody.
。
The latest documents newly released this time include evidence that investigative agencies were also looking into several other individuals considered to be Epsteins accomplices, and were exploring the possibility of further investigations and prosecutions against these people.
。
For example, in an email exchanged between members of the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI in July 2019, the phrase 10 accomplices appeared.
。
Furthermore, after Epsteins death in August of the same year, the documents also mention a memo that compiled a list of potential co-conspirators who could be prosecuted, but the actual memo itself is not included in the materials.
。
So far, no one else has been indicted except for Epstein and his former lover, Ghislaine Maxwell.
。
During the course of the investigation, the name of President Trump and former President Trump was mentioned multiple times.
。
The subpoena issued in 2021, related to Maxwells trial, requested the Mar-a-Lago Club owned by Mr. Trump to submit all employment records concerning certain individuals names redacted.
。
It is not clear who this person is, but it is widely known that Virginia Giuffre, one of the people who accused Epstein, once worked at Mar-a-Lago.
。
Furthermore, according to an email sent in 2020 by an assistant prosecutor from the Southern District of New York, Mr. Trump boarded Epstein’s plane eight times, which was later confirmed to be substantiated.
。
On the other hand, the current materials also include a letter addressed to Larry Nassar that the Department of Justice has publicly acknowledged as a forgery.
。
The letter said, You and I have something in common.
。
It is love and concern for young women, and a desire for them to realize their full potential.
。
However, despite the signature of J. Epstein, the Department of Justice is questioning its authenticity and believes that someone impersonated Epstein and wrote this letter.
。
The initial statement released by the Ministry of Justice on the 23rd was worded in a manner unbefitting a member of an administrative body that is supposed to maintain a neutral stance.
。
It seems like you lack the willingness to face questions head-on, almost like you’re Trump’s personal lawyer.
。
This department believes that, if this information were accurate, it certainly would have been used as a weapon against President Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
。
Going beyond the scope of the bill passed by the Diet last month, making documents unclear and excessively redacted further increases doubts about the Ministry of Justices handling of these materials.
