WSJ Poll: Two-Thirds of Dems Say Biden Is Too Old

A multipart investigation by The Wall Street Journal has revealed prominent people who met multiple times with Jeffrey Epstein.

The reporting, based on thousands of pages of emails and schedules largely from 2013 to 2017, also provides new details about how often or where people met with Epstein, and the kinds of favors Epstein did for them.

It shows Epstein had contacts with an array of powerful people long after he was a registered sex offender. He had pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting and procuring a minor for prostitution. He was arrested again in 2019 on sex-trafficking charges, and died that year in jail awaiting trial.
