New Delhi: In a recent development, new revelations in the Epstein files feature references to Indian Ayurveda and massage techniques. The US Department of Justice has presented several documents related to the controversial sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial. He had been accused of sex trafficking minor girls. The case has repeatedly drawn public attention due to its alleged links to some of the world’s most powerful individuals, including former US President Donald Trump and former president Bill Clinton.
Among the extensive disclosures in the Epstein files, some exhibits reportedly mention the use of massages and Ayurveda for detoxification. One document states, “Many practitioners in the West are now offering massage and other treatments based upon this 5,000-year-old system of natural healing from India.”
The files also include articles titled The Art of Giving Massage, which reference the use of sesame oil for detoxification purposes.
The documents reportedly contain only a small number of photographs of Donald Trump, and the Justice Department acknowledged that the disclosure of records remains incomplete. The files also feature a series of photographs of former US President Bill Clinton, as well as an image of Epstein with the late pop star Michael Jackson.
A few days ago, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Representative Robert Garcia criticised federal authorities for their silence in the case and demanded justice for Epstein’s survivors. Garcia said the photographs raise serious questions about Epstein’s close associations with some of the most powerful men in the world.
“We will not rest until the American people get the truth. The Department of Justice must release all the files—now,” Garcia said.
While Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released these photographs on Friday, the Epstein files that the Justice Department has been directed to release are due by December 19. In a recent statement, Garcia said the committee is reviewing nearly 95,000 photographs and is expected to release additional information in the coming days.
