U.S. authorities released a new set of investigation files related to Jeffrey Epstein, including two FBI emails from 2019 that mention 10 alleged co-conspirators, drawing renewed attention to the case and references to several high-profile figures. Among the developments, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim denied any connection to Epstein after his name appeared in an old email, stating he had no involvement with the individuals mentioned. In the United Kingdom, former ambassador to the United States Peter Mandelson resigned from the Labour Party following renewed scrutiny over alleged financial links to Epstein, which he denies and says require investigation.
The release also prompted a public apology from Los Angeles 2028 Olympics organizing committee chairman Casey Wasserman after decades-old email exchanges between him and Ghislaine Maxwell surfaced, though he denied any personal or business relationship with Epstein. Additionally, the files revealed past email communication between Epstein and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who acknowledged the messages but stated they could be misinterpreted and emphasized the need to hold those responsible for crimes linked to Epstein accountable.
