Legendary music stars Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger are among the figures pictured with Jeffrey Epstein in a heavily-redacted release from the Justice Department.
Most of the photos show Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in various sunny locales, including what appears to be a now-notorious humanitarian aid trip to Africa, which included Bill Clinton and Chris Tucker, also pictured.
Jackson appears alongside Diana Ross, some of the musicians’ respective children, and Bill Clinton in one photo. In another image, the King of Pop can be seen with Epstein at his Palm Beach home. There is no suggestion of wrongdoing in the files, and the photo of Jackson, Ross, and Clinton has been publicly available on Getty Images for years, reportedly taken durning a Democratic fundraiser in 2022.
In an unsealed deposition from 2016, one of Epstein’s accuser testified meeting Jackson at Epstein’s home in Palm Beach, but said there was wrongdoing on the musician’s part (via Billboard).
As for Jagger, he appears in photographs with Clinton and Epstein at a large dinner. Again, there is no indication of unlawful activity.
The Justice Department was required to release the Epstein files today. This drop was prepared by Trump appointee Pam Bondi, and it differs from previous releases led by Democrats on the House Oversight Committee. Trump does not appear in any of the files reviewed by Consequence, but again, there are dozens of pages that are fully redacted. Don’t expect this release to quiet a single conspiracy theory.
