Moments ago, a federal judge unsealed hundreds of pages of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein, including flight records and unredacted testimony. We are publishing them here because PACER, the federal government's court records site has crashed, as has DocumentCloud, a service 404 Media uses to upload court documents. Included in the following zip file is all of the files unsealed today, which we were able to download before PACER crashed.
We have not reviewed the documents in full but they contain incident reports, unredacted testimony, emails, and other pieces of evidence in a civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell.
