Justice After Epstein: DOJ Expands Co‑Conspirator Probe

On February 1, 2026 the U.S. Department of Justice released an 86‑page memorandum it had drafted in December 2019. The memo, written for former New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman, lists alleged criminal liability for individuals who aided Jeffrey Epstein after his August 2019 cell‑suicide. Key figures named include Ghislaine Maxwell, former executive assistant Lesley Groff, French recruiter Jean Luc Brunel, and two high‑profile associates—Wall Street billionaire Leon Black and JPMorgan banker Jes Staley. The document also notes that former investigations found a network of underage victims, some as young as 14, in New York and Palm Beach, and that prosecutors were evaluating whether enough evidence existed to charge co‑conspirators. The memo remains largely redacted, limiting public insight into DOJ’s pending decisions.
