Thousands of documents from two criminal investigations into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have been released in the US among the files are details of Epstein's contacts book, which offers a glimpse into the sheer number of his wealthy and powerful associates.

美國公開了兩起針對已故性犯罪者 Jeffrey Epstein 的刑事調查的數千份文件，其中包含 Epstein 通訊錄的細節，讓人得以一窺他眾多富裕且有權勢的夥伴。

轉承詞

Today is the legal deadline for the Justice Department to make the information public, although the deputy attorney general said earlier that not everything will be released in time to meet that deadline.

今天是司法部將這些資訊公開的法定截止日期，不過副總檢察長稍早表示，並非所有內容都能及時發布以趕上這個期限。

Let's go straight to our correspondent Tom Bateman, who is in Washington tonight.

我們直接連線到今晚在華盛頓的記者 Tom Bateman。

Tom，這次公開的文件數量非常龐大。

到目前為止，我們學到了什麼？

Well, this is a case, Jane, remember, that has convulsed the political system here in Washington.

嗯，Jane，還記得嗎，這個案子曾經震驚了華盛頓的整個政治體系。

And the release of these files have been demanded by Congress, who in the end forced the hand of President Trump to create this legal deadline today.

這些文件的公開是國會要求的，最終迫使川普總統設立了今天的法定截止日期。

Now, we were expecting the files to be released around 8pm UK time.

我們原本預計文件會在英國時間晚上 8 點左右公開。

In the end, they were a little over an hour late.

結果，延遲了一小時多才發布。

They've been released on the Department of Justice's website, categorized into former investigative records, files themselves that the Department of Justice had been looking into, now made public and many, many new photographs.

這些資料已經發布在司法部網站上，分為之前的調查記錄、司法部一直在調查的檔案，現在都公開了，還有很多很多新的照片。

The files include pictures of Bill Clinton, he here appearing to be in a hot tub and in a swimming pool.

檔案中包含比爾·柯林頓的照片，他看起來在浴缸和游泳池裡。

The images are undated and without a clear location, but

這些影像沒有日期，也沒有明確的地點，但是

they are in a batch that appear to show Epstein in a series of foreign locations.

它們是看起來顯示艾普斯坦在多個外國地點的一批資料。

Another shows the former president alongside Epstein himself.

另一張顯示了前總統和艾普斯坦本人在一起。

Clinton was photographed with Epstein several times over the 1990s and early 2000s before the financier was first arrested.

克林頓在金融家艾普斯坦被捕之前，於 1990 年代和 2000 年代初期曾多次與他合照。

He's never been accused of wrongdoing by survivors of Epstein's abuse and has denied knowledge of his sex offending.

他從未被艾普斯坦的虐待受害者指控有不當行為，並且否認知情他的性犯罪。

This image shows Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell outside 10 Downing Street Again, we don't know when or why.

這張照片顯示了艾普斯坦的夥伴 Ghislaine Maxwell 在唐寧街 10 號外。同樣，我們不知道是什麼時候或為什麼。

There are thousands of pages of documents and images in the Department of Justice release.

司法部發布的資料和影像有數千頁。

Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution in 2008.

艾普斯坦在 2008 年因唆使賣淫罪被定罪。

Today's trove of files is from that and later investigations.

今天公佈的這些資料來自當時以及之後的調查。

They're expected to scrutinize what happened at his luxury homes in Caribbean islands amid claims he lured young women and girls to be sexually exploited.

預計大家會仔細審視他在加勒比海島嶼的豪華住宅裡發生的事，因為有指控稱他引誘年輕女性和女孩遭受性剝削。

Further charges in 2019 never went to trial.

2019 年的進一步指控從未進入審判。

Epstein was found dead in his prison cell.

His associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was later jailed for 20 years for helping Epstein recruit and traffic teenage girls.

他的夥伴 Ghislaine Maxwell 後來因協助艾普斯坦招募和販運少女而被判刑 20 年。

But questions only grew about the pair's connections to high profile men.

但關於這兩人與知名男士的關係，疑問卻越來越多。

In material already released, photos of his friendships with princes, presidents and billionaires all denied any wrongdoing.

在已公佈的資料中，有他與王子、總統和億萬富翁的友情照片，但他們都否認有任何不當行為。

And there is no suggestion of any misconduct by the individuals shown in the pict.

而照片中出現的這些人，也沒有任何不當行為的跡象。

But Andrew Mountbatten Windsor was stripped of his royal titles over his relationship with Epstein after allegations that he abused Virginia Giuffre, allegations he strenuously denied.

但安德魯·蒙巴頓-溫莎王子因與艾普斯坦的關係而被剝奪了皇室頭銜，當時有指控稱他虐待了 Virginia Giuffre，但他強烈否認這些指控。

川普總統認識艾普斯坦多年，但

says he kicked him out of his club in the early 2000s for being a creep.

他說他早在 2000 年代初就因為他很噁心而將他趕出了他的俱樂部。

The call to release the files has convulsed his party, but earlier this year, the president was resisting.

要求公開這些文件的呼聲讓他的政黨動盪不安，但今年早些時候，總統一直在抗拒。

Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?

And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?

而且人們還在談論這個人，這個噁心的人嗎？

Lawmakers have long called for the file's release.

立法者們早就呼籲公開這些文件。

Congress finally forcing the president's hand, but

still, a top Republican on the committee that helped push it is warning of consequences.

委員會裡一位曾大力推動此事的頂尖共和黨人，仍在警告會有後果。

And if the administration doesn't release nearly everything.

如果政府不公開幾乎所有內容。

This president, he's agreed to comply with this law.

這位總統，他已經同意遵守這項法律。

If he signed this law, he had a part in making this, the law.

如果他簽署了這項法律，他就有參與制定這項法律。

So his attorney general has to comply with it.

Given the scope of the released files, it will take weeks if not months for everything they reveal to become clear.

考量到這些已公開文件的範圍，要釐清它們揭露的一切，可能需要數週甚至數月。

Officials say many more documents will also be released in the weeks to come.

官員們表示，未來幾週還會有更多文件公開。

And as you're suggesting there, this is far from over tonight.

而就像你剛剛提到的，今晚這件事遠遠還沒結束。

Well, first of all, Jane, clearly the work to sift through this huge amount of documents and images and videos begins now, as we are doing, and

嗯，首先，Jane，很明顯地，篩選這些龐大的文件、圖片和影片的工作現在就開始了，就像我們正在做的，

many others, of course, as they scroll through all of this material and try to make some sense of it, remember that there have been things that have been released previously in the past.

當然還有很多人，他們會瀏覽所有這些資料並試圖理解它們，請記住，過去已經有一些東西被公開過了。

Not everything in here will be a new disclosure.

並非這裡面的所有內容都是新的揭露。

So there's a huge amount of work to do there.

所以在那裡還有很多工作要做。

But I think in terms of the political response to this, you know, the Department of Justice and the White House have been under huge pressure to pivot away from Mr.

但我認為就政治回應而言，你知道，司法部和白宮一直承受著巨大的壓力，要他們從川普先生那裡轉移焦點，

Trump, having previously appeared to oppose the disclosure.

之前他們似乎反對公開這些文件。

This year, his hand was forced, including by members of his own party.

今年，他的手被迫，包括他自己黨派的成員。

And we saw really full consensus in Congress for today's release.

我們看到國會對今天公開的內容達成了非常一致的共識。

Now, the technical deadline was midnight.

現在，技術上的截止日期是午夜。

他們在那之前就已經把這些資料釋出了。

But we heard from the Department of Justice earlier today that many, many more, hundreds of thousands of pages of files will still be released in the coming weeks.

不過我們今天稍早從司法部得知，未來幾週還會有更多、數十萬頁的檔案會被公開。

Now, that has already got Democrats on the House committee that had helped pressure the situation pretty angry because they regard this as not being enough already.

現在，這已經讓眾議院委員會裡那些幫助施壓的民主黨人非常生氣了，因為他們認為這還不夠。

And they've been saying that in the run up to it today, they are already accusing the administration of a cover up and they say a denial of justice to the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein.

他們說，在今天之前，他們已經指控政府掩蓋事實，並稱這是對 Jeffrey Epstein 的受害者和倖存者的一種不公。

For now, Tom Bateman there in Washington.

目前是這樣，Tom Bateman 在華盛頓。

And given the sheer scale of this, our correspondent Andy Verity is with me as well.

鑑於規模如此龐大，我們的記者 Andy Verity 也和我在一起。

We're reflecting just how much there is to go through.

我們正在思考還有多少東西需要看。

What else have you been able to, to pick up on thus far?

到目前為止，你還能發現些什麼？

And yeah, I mean, I think globally there are hundreds of journalists going through this stuff right now.

是的，我想全球有數百名記者正在研究這些資料。

What's new that we definitely know is new is some of these pictures that we're seeing.

我們確定是新的消息，就是我們現在看到的一些照片。

There's a picture of Bill Clinton with Kevin Spacey in there and we've got pictures of Epstein, Jagger and Clinton together.

這裡有一張比爾·柯林頓和凱文·史貝西在一起的照片，還有艾普斯坦、傑格和柯林頓的合照。

So we've also got pictures of other people who we already knew had spent time with Epstein.

所以我們也有其他我們已經知道曾和艾普斯坦共處過的人的照片。

What may bring us more about people closer to home perhaps is when we get, when we are able to look through properly and thoroughly the documents that have come out of the litigation between Virginia Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell.

或許能帶給我們更多關於我們身邊的人的消息，是在我們能夠好好地、徹底地審閱維吉尼亞·吉弗瑞和吉斯蘭·麥斯威爾訴訟案中釋出的文件時。

Now that's where we had lots of mention of Andrew and there are lots of unsealed court documents which may yet yield more revelations.

那裡我們有很多提到安德魯的地方，還有很多未密封的法院文件，這些都可能帶來更多揭露。

And of course, just because someone is in a photograph with Jeffrey Epstein or from his estate, that does not necessarily mean wrongdoing.

當然，只是因為某人出現在 Jeffrey Epstein 的照片中，或是來自他的財產，並不代表他們有不當行為。

他的社交圈非常廣泛且人數眾多。

By no means, and I mean he, he had the we've seen his contacts book.

絕非如此，我的意思是，我們已經看過他的通訊錄了。

It doesn't mean that they did anything wrong.

這不代表他們做了任何不對的事。
