You've likely seen headlines about the "Epstein files" and wondered what they actually are and why they're suddenly everywhere. These newly unsealed documents are revealing more about Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking network, and the surprising part is who might be implicated.
The "Epstein files" are trending because a federal judge recently ordered the unsealing of over 150 documents related to a civil lawsuit.
These documents stem from a 2015 defamation lawsuit filed by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's associate.
