Prosecutors will review the more than 3 million documents released in the U.S. Justice Department files and examine open-source materials, inviting victims to come forward with complaints or testimonies. Epstein, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawyer-for-epstein-victims-maxwells-potential-mistrial-a-gut-punch\/\" title=\"Lawyer For ... Victims: Maxwell\u2019s Potential Mistrial A \u2018Gut Punch\u2019\">convicted sex trafficker<\/a> who died in prison, owned property in Paris and had ties to people in France, including modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Beccuau stressed that the DOJ materials will not be ignored and may reveal victims not yet known to French authorities, reactivating trauma for some. The Epstein case has had wide-ranging reverberations across Europe, contributing to resignations or withdrawals by leaders in several countries, including France, where former Cultural Minister Jack Lang resigned as president of the Arab World Institute over Epstein ties.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Paris prosecutors open Epstein-related investigations using files released by Trump administration<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2509113\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/paris\/\">Paris<\/a>&lsquo;s public prosecutor, Laure Beccuau, is calling for the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/french\/\">French<\/a> victims of <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jeffrey-epstein\/\">Jeffrey Epstein<\/a> to come forward as her office dually investigates the sexual and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/criminal-charges-against-sam-bankman-fried-revealed\/\" title=\"Criminal Charges Against Sam Bankman-Fried Revealed\">financial crimes related<\/a> to Epstein in France.<\/p>\n<p>Epstein, the convicted sex trafficker from New York who died while in prison, owned property in Paris and had several ties to people in France, including modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, who also died in prison in France.
