The next instalment of a trove of unsealed Jeffrey Epstein documents which include names of his associates could be released as soon as today.

High-profile figures will likely be squirming ahead of their publication which could contain further details of their relationship with the convicted sex offender.

Prince Andrew and former US presidents Bill Clinton and Donald Trump were among those mentioned a string of times in the nearly 1,000 pages of documents released by a New York court on Wednesday night. 

There is no suggestion Mr Clinton or Mr Trump did anything wrong and the Duke of York has denied all allegations.

The mostly unredacted files were the first batch in around 250 documents expected to be made public after a judge ordered their release last month following a five-year legal challenge brought by the Miami Herald.

Investigative journalist Julie Brown, who helped expose the billionaire sex trafficker, said the next tranche of documents could come as soon as today.

“Only a small fraction was released yesterday – we expect thousands more pages of documents to be unsealed in the coming days”, she wrote on Twitter.
