Europe Acts on Epstein Files, US Justice Remains Silent
In stark contrast to Europe, the United States has seen limited legal consequences for individuals linked to Jeffrey Epstein, with only Ghislaine Maxwell facing conviction. Despite the release of Epstein’s files, a US Justice Department official indicated no further prosecutions are likely, a stance met with criticism from lawmakers who argue for greater accountability for the powerful. This perceived lack of action has eroded public trust, with a majority of Americans believing powerful figures in the US rarely face repercussions for their actions.
