The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has released another tranche of documents relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
This latest batch contains thousands of files including images and investigative documents.
It follows the passing of a law in Congress mandating the so-called Epstein files be released in their entirety by Friday.
Due to the volume, the DoJ said it would not be able to release all of the documents by the deadline and would instead publish the material on a rolling basis, redacting any information relating to survivors.
This has angered Democrats – and some Republicans, including those in Trump’s core MAGA support base – who argue the DoJ has violated its legal obligations.
Today’s release is the eighth since Friday. We’ll walk you through what we’ve learned from the other seven in due course.
It will take us some time – likely several hours – to go through all of the material released today.
Our team in the newsroom, alongside colleagues from the investigations unit and BBC Verify, are picking through the files now.
We’ll share any significant disclosures on this page – stay with us.
