NEW YORK
From tech titans to Wall Street power brokers and foreign dignitaries, a roster of powerful men is named in a huge trove of documents released Friday by the Justice Department in connection with its investigations of Jeffrey Epstein.
The documents contain the names of figures like Elon Musk and the U.K.’s Prince Andrew, as well as many others whose ties to the late financier had been alleged or previously known.
Many have denied having close ties to Epstein, or at least having anything to do with his alleged sexual abuse of girls and young women that led to his arrest on sex trafficking charges. None have been charged with a crime connected to the investigation.
Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.
The documents show some maintained friendships with Epstein, or developed them anew, even after he became known as a predator of young girls and a registered sex offender.
