Millions of newly released U.S. Justice Department records connected to Jeffrey Epstein now reference a wider circle of global business leaders, politicians, and celebrities. The drop includes roughly three million pages, 180,000 images, and 2,000 videos, released under legislation signed by Donald Trump.
Lawmakers from both parties say more material may still be withheld.
Below are notable individuals mentioned in the latest tranche, along with their public responses where available.
