Epstein's victims have filed a lawsuit against Trump and Google over the disclosure of their personal information
Victims of the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein have filed a class-action lawsuit against the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump and Google. The lawsuit concerns the disclosure of personal information contained in files related to Epstein that have become available in recent months.
This was reported by NBC Los Angeles.
In their statement, the victims noted that the U.S. Department of Justice, acting unlawfully, published the private data of approximately 100 of Epstein’s victims. “The United States knowingly chose to rapidly release a large volume of information rather than protect the privacy of the victims,” the document states.
The plaintiffs added that as a result, they are receiving phone calls and emails from strangers, which is disrupting their lives. They are demanding that the Department of Justice pay a minimum of $1,000 in compensation to each victim and that Google pay punitive damages in an amount “sufficient to punish and deter.”
Additionally, the group has asked the court to order Google to immediately and permanently delete the victims’ personal data. The U.S. Department of Justice and Google have not yet commented on the lawsuit.
Earlier, new photos from the Jeffrey Epstein case were released online, showing the so-called “spy room” in his New York home.
Recently, the U.S. Department of Justice released FBI documents related to allegations of sexual assault against U.S. President Donald Trump, which were previously missing from the case files of financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Previously, CNN journalists analyzed documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice in the case of the late billionaire Jeffrey Epstein and discovered significant gaps in the archives.
It is known that Jeffrey Epstein committed his worst crimes between 1999 and 2000, but this information was deliberately not published online. Internet sleuths discovered that files from those years were concealed, files that could have revealed the scale of his activities and network of influence.
