President Donald Trump, who was in office when Epstein was arrested, proposed to open the government's files last year.

Epstein was accused of sexually abused dozens of minors in the early 2000s, but only served 13 months in prison.

The previously published files included a deposit from 2016, in which an accuser spent several hours with Epstein in the Atlantic City Casino from Trump, but did not say whether she actually met Trump and did not accuse him of making misconduct.
