Diabolical: The Epstein Files
One of the most shocking criminal networks of our time
It’s the scandal that has shocked Americans and rocked the Trump administration. A legal and political saga that has shattered fundamental beliefs that all are equal in the eyes of the law.
When society rich lister and sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in 2019, the long-running conspiracy theories exploded. Was he murdered? Did he blackmail his powerful friends? Who in his elite circle was involved in his crimes? And ultimately, how did Epstein evade justice for so long?
Most Americans believe the answers lie in the Epstein Files, a closely guarded record of the investigations into one of the most disturbing criminal cases of modern times.
In this debut feature from the newly-established ABC NEWS Documentary unit, Walkley Award-winning reporter Grace Tobin is on the ground, talking to those closest to the story as the files are released - including rebel Republican politicians Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene; Epstein’s brother Mark who believes Epstein was murdered; Julie K. Brown, the journalist whose investigation helped put Epstein behind bars; and the survivors whose campaigning forced the hand of a President.
With access to key players, Diabolical: The Epstein Files is a compelling examination of how a network of influence enabled abuse to flourish within a global web of wealth and power - and how the systems responsible for delivering justice have repeatedly floundered.
