Context
Epstein is an American billionaire known for his connections with politicians and royalty, including the 42nd President of the United States. Bill Clinton, Trump and Prince Andrew. He committed suicide in 2019 in a New York City jail cell awaiting trial on human trafficking charges.

In 2008, he was convicted of inciting a minor into prostitution. In 2019, he was arrested a second time, accused of human trafficking and sexual abuse of minors.
On November 20, Trump signed the bill opening files convicted Epstein.
On January 30, the US Department of Justice published a new batch of investigation materials related to Epstein. Among the new files is an accusation against Trump of sexual abuse of minors. The materials may include documents containing false and sensational allegations against Trump filed with the FBI before the 2020 election, the department said.
The Associated Press wrote on February 7 that the FBI did not find sufficient evidence that Epstein ran a network of trafficking in the sex services of minors for influential people.
