(Washington, DC) – Separate allegations circulating alongside the newly released Epstein documents suggest the disgraced financier may have received institutional protection while facing questions related to sex trafficking during the Obama-era.
Neither Obama nor his former administration has been formally accused of involvement, and no government agency has confirmed that Epstein received special protection from federal officials during that period.
As with much of the Epstein-related material now circulating, experts stress the importance of separating documented facts from allegations as investigators, journalists, and the public continue to review the records.
