Chapter 2: What recent developments have emerged in the Jeffrey Epstein case?
The Department of Justice is releasing a final massive tranche of materials, including videos and images related to the criminal investigation and death by suicide of the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in compliance with a law Congress passed last November.

Trump has said he severed ties with Epstein after the financier poached female Mar-a-Lago resort employees. He denies any knowledge of Epstein's sexual abuse crimes or alleged trafficking of women and minors. In the weeks since Border Patrol officers killed Alex Preti, a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse, vigils across the country have celebrated Preti's work and denounced ICE tactics.

The Trump administration has blamed Preddy's death on Minnesota officials for failing to cooperate with ICE. Quill Lawrence, NPR News.
