Epstein files live updates: Trump mentioned thousands of times in huge new release along with fresh Andrew allegations

Miroslav Lajcak, national security adviser for Slovakia’s prime minister Robert Fico, has resigned a day after Lajcak’s past communications with Epstein appeared in new docs released Friday.

Lajcak, a former Slovak foreign minister and a onetime president of the U.N. General Assembly, denied any wrongdoing. He said his contacts were part of his diplomatic duties and occurred before U.S. authorities opened their investigation into Epstein.

Pressure mounted for his ouster from opposition parties and a nationalist partner in Fico’s governing coalition, the Associated Press reported.

The latest dump – expected to be the last – contains some three million pages, including 180,000 images and some 2,000 videos attached to the case.

Initial findings from the drop include emails from Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the former British prince, inviting Epstein to Buckingham Palace years after the financier was convicted of sex crimes.

Messages from billionaire Elon Musk asked Epstein when his wildest party would be and discussed visiting his notorious island. It is unclear whether Musk, who is not accused of wrongdoing, ever visited.

And in other emails, Epstein made allegations Bill Gates had engaged in extra marital affairs. A spokesperson for Gates vehemently denied the “absurd” allegations.

Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, is pressing the Justice Department to let lawmakers review unredacted versions of the latest batch of Epstein files as soon as Sunday.

Raskin’s demand is the latest signal Democrats believe the Justice Department has not fully complied with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, The Associated Press reported.

In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Raskin said the review is urgent ahead of Attorney General Pam Bondi’s February 11 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee.

He argues Congress must assess whether DOJ’s redactions, from a universe of more than six million pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein, were lawful or improperly shielded from scrutiny.

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted on X Saturday calling for a complete release of the Epstein files.

“Even with everything in this Epstein drop, remember: this is a minority of the files.

This is STILL just what they were *willing* to release – in violation of the law, which requires release of all files.

Pam Bondi’s DOJ is still hiding most of them. We need them all.”

Epstein gave millions of dollars to research projects associated with Martin Nowak, a Harvard University math professor.

In a 2018 email, Epstein assistant Lesley Groff asked someone about a missing key card for Nowak’s office.

“We can’t find it. … it is kept in my office drawer and it is not there…do you happen to know where it is?” Groff asked, according to the newly released documents cited by The Associated Press. The email recipient is redacted.

In 2021, Harvard barred Nowak from starting new research or advising students for at least two years because of his ties to Epstein after the financier’s 2008 sex crimes conviction. An investigation determined that Nowak gave Epstein an office in his campus research center, along with a building key card.

At the time, Nowak said he regretted the connection between Harvard and Epstein “and the hurt that it has caused.”

King Charles made a surprise appearance at a Sandringham parkrun on Saturday morning, joining participants at an event organized in partnership with the Move Against Cancer charity.

It was his first public appearance following fresh revelations about his brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Newly released files on Epstein appeared to show images of Andrew crouched over an unidentified woman on the floor.

The latest batch of Epstein documents includes emails between investigators about Epstein’s death, including an investigator’s observation that his final communication doesn’t look like a suicide note, The Associated Press reported.

Epstein was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges in July 2019, and found dead in his cell just over a month later. Multiple investigations have determined that Epstein’s death was a suicide.

The documents from Friday also detail a trick that jail staffers used to fool the media gathered outside while Epstein’s body was removed: they used boxes and sheets to create what appeared to be a body and loaded it into a white van labeled as belonging to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

The reporters followed the van when it left the jail, not knowing that Epstein’s actual body was loaded into a black vehicle, which departed “unnoticed,” according to the interview notes.

The Department of Justice said it’s not aware of any other men that were involved in the abuse of Epstein’s victims.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the files don’t contain the names of specific men who abused women.

If the DOJ had those names, the men would be prosecuted, Blanche said.

“I don’t think the public are going to uncover men within the Epstein files that abused women, unfortunately,” he added.

In response, Lisa Phillips, an Epstein survivor, told BBC Newsnight that this is “heart wrenching to hear.”

“I couldn’t believe he could keep a straight face when he said that. It’s heart wrenching to hear him say that when the whole Epstein saga is all about other men enabling and abusing.”
