What they’re saying

“No one pushed harder than me to get the Epstein files released. I declined repeated invitations to go to his island, but I'm well aware that some email correspondence with him could be misinterpreted and used by detractors to smear my name.”

— Elon Musk (X (formerly Twitter)

“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. At no time did I ever witness the side of Epstein's life for which he is now infamous.”

— Les Wexner, Billionaire retail mogul (House Oversight Committee)

“I did nothing wrong. I had no idea about Epstein's crimes during the period the two of us were in contact decades ago. My brief acquaintance with Epstein ended years before his crimes came to light.”

— Bill Clinton, Former President of the United States (House Oversight Committee)

What’s next

The Department of Justice has stated that it is investigating the origin and purpose of the 'Epstein Walk of Shame' display, and whether any laws were broken in its creation and placement.
