A former Sports Illustrated model who was romantically involved with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claimed Friday that her ex and President Donald Trump were quite close, adding more to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Epstein files.

"All the work that we did to tell the world what happened to us, it’s all being erased," victim Danielle Bensky said.

In early 2024, football quarterback Aaron Rodgers made headlines when he falsely suggested that Kimmel's name would appear in court documents associated with Epstein. Kimmel threatened legal action against Rodgers at the time.

A Wall Street Journal report late Thursday added new scrutiny to President Donald Trump’s relationship with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

"I have asked the Justice Department to release all grand jury testimony with respect to Epstein," Trump said.

For nearly 15 years, the two men socialized together in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla., before a falling out that preceded Mr. Epstein’s first arrest.

Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now is asking a federal court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case.

The unreleased evidence notably includes multiple documents related to two islands Epstein owned in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Little Saint James -- where his compound was located -- and Greater Saint James. According to the index, the files include a folder containing Island blueprints, photographs and other documents.
