Michael Jackson, Kevin Spacey among celebrities discovered in newly released Epstein files

Michael Jackson and Kevin Spacey are included among a host of celebrities, politicians, and other public figures photographed in the newly released Epstein files.

Unveiled on December 19, the heavily redacted documents show a number of high profile names posing alongside Jeffrey Epstein, his girlfriend and co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell, and victims whose identities have been concealed.

Jackson was seen in two photographs, one with Epstein and another with Bill Clinton and Diana Ross.

While Spacey, who still has pending lawsuits of sexual harassment filed against him, “appears in one photo, standing with a group alongside Maxwell, Clinton, and three other men,” per PEOPLE.

The publication also reported the inclusion of other celebrities like Chris Tucker, Mick Jagger, and David Copperfield enclosed in the latest release.

According to the magazine, “The celebrities featured in the photos released from the Epstein files on Dec. 19 are not accused of any criminal behavior, and the photos were released without context.”

The newly released Epstein files have nevertheless been widely slammed for featuring substantial redaction, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer telling The New York Times, “Simply releasing a mountain of blacked out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law.”
