Jeffrey Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who was accused of serial sex trafficking of women and girls. While jailed and awaiting a federal sex-trafficking trial, Epstein killed himself by hanging. In the wake of his 2019 death, the content of the so-called Epstein files, including who is named in them and in what context, became a topic that roiled both sides of the political aisle. During the second administration of U.S. Pres. Donald Trump the call for the release of the files became a national conversation.
