6.3
The US Department of Justice published a new tranche of Epstein investigation documents last Friday, releasing millions of pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed in November. The Journal’s FactCheck finds many circulating claims linking Irish figures—Bono, Taoiseach Micheál Martin, and ex-minister Alan Shatter—to Epstein are fabricated or miscontextualized. Readers are urged to verify claims using the DoJ’s searchable Epstein Library.
