何塞·路易斯·马加纳/美联社 由共和党控制的众议院监督委员会周二发布了一份关于其对已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦及其同伙调查的报告，结论是联邦政府处理针对这位名誉扫地的金融家的刑事调查不当，并辜负了幸存者。
Jose Luis Magana/FR159526 AP The Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee released a report Tuesday on its investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his associates, concluding that the federal government mishandled criminal investigations into the disgraced financier and failed survivors.
“爱泼斯坦在有恃无恐的情况下活动，受到强大关系网的庇护和纵容，而司法系统反复辜负了他的受害者，”委员会主席、来自肯塔基州的共和党人詹姆斯·科默表示。
"Epstein operated with impunity, shielded and enabled by powerful connections and a justice system that repeatedly failed his victims," said committee Chair James Comer, a Republican from Kentucky.
这份措辞严厉的报告是在对19人进行了15个月的访谈后发布的，受访者包括前总统比尔·克林顿、前国务卿希拉里·克林顿、微软联合创始人比尔·盖茨、商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克。许多访谈是在闭门情况下进行的，记录稿数日后发布。
The scathing report comes after 15 months of interviews with 19 people, including former President Bill Clinton former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Many of the interviews were conducted behind closed doors, with transcripts released days later.
出现在司法部的爱泼斯坦档案中或出席委员会作证，不一定意味着存在刑事犯罪行为。
Appearing in the Department of Justice's Epstein files or before the committee is not necessarily an indication of criminal wrongdoing.
报告认定，调查揭示的事实并不表明唐纳德·特朗普总统牵涉爱泼斯坦的任何罪行。报告还指责民主党发动了一场“毫无根据的猎巫行动”，试图暗示特朗普卷入了爱泼斯坦的罪行。
The report found that the facts revealed by the investigation do not suggest President Donald Trump was implicated in any of Epstein's crimes The report also accuses Democrats of launching an "unfounded witch hunt" by attempting to insinuate that Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes.
爱泼斯坦于2019年因联邦性贩运指控被捕，后在狱中死亡。当局认定其死因为自杀。换防1月，民主党将接管众议院控制权，众议员罗伯特·加西亚（民主党-加利福尼亚州）预计将掌管该委员会。加西亚周二在一份声明中批评该报告“带有党派色彩”。
Epstein was arrested on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019 and later died in prison. Authorities determined his death was a suicide. Changing of the guard In January, Democrats will take control of the House, with Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) expected to be at the helm of the committee. In a statement Tuesday, Garcia criticized the report as "partisan."
“监督委员会共和党人发布了一份基于未完成调查且未举行任何公开听证会的报告，”加西亚说。“我们打算举行真正的公开听证会，为幸存者发声，并向与爱泼斯坦有交往的有权势男性提出尖锐问题，包括唐纳德·特朗普。我们的工作才刚刚开始。”
"Oversight Republicans have released a report based on an incomplete investigation and zero public hearings on Jeffrey Epstein," Garcia said. "We intend to hold real public hearings uplifting survivors and asking tough questions of the powerful men who associated with Epstein, including Donald Trump. Our work is just getting started."
特朗普长期坚称，他在爱泼斯坦因招嫖于2006年被起诉前，已与这位名誉扫地的金融家决裂。2月，白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊在给美国国家公共电台的一份声明中说：“正如特朗普总统所说，他在任何与爱泼斯坦相关的事务上都已完全获得平反。”报告将爱泼斯坦调查的后续步骤交到了司法部手中，称该机构需要访谈或重新访谈证人，并调查爱泼斯坦同伙所犯罪行。麦克斯韦尔是爱泼斯坦唯一被指控犯罪并判处入狱的同伙。
Trump has long maintained he had a falling out with the disgraced financier before Epstein was indicted for soliciting prostitution in 2006. In February, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told NPR in a statement that "just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein." The report puts the next steps in the Epstein investigation into the hands of the DOJ, saying that the agency needs to interview or re-interview witnesses and investigate crimes committed by Epstein's associates. Maxwell is the only associate of Epstein to be charged with a crime and sentenced to prison.
6月，委员会访谈了爱泼斯坦的长期助手莎拉·凯伦，她声称自己也是爱泼斯坦虐待的幸存者。根据委员会报告，凯伦在其笔录证词中透露了两名男子的名字，委员会已将这些名字移交司法部进一步调查。司法部尚未宣布对这两名男子展开任何调查。
In June the committee interviewed Sarah Kellen, a longtime assistant of Epstein, who says she is also a survivor of his abuse. According to the committee's report, Kellen revealed the names of two men in her transcribed testimony that the committee sent to the DOJ for further investigation. The DOJ has not announced any investigations into the men.
报告结论指出，要不是南佛罗里达和华盛顿联邦检察官的“失职”，爱泼斯坦2005年后的罪行本可避免。爱泼斯坦2008年因招募年仅14岁的女孩发生性关系而被定罪，该判决长期以来被批评为“甜心交易”。爱泼斯坦在棕榈滩县监狱服刑13个月，白天享有12小时外出工作许可，此外，他还必须作为性犯罪者登记。
The report concludes that if not for the "failures" of federal prosecutors in South Florida and Washington, Epstein's crimes after 2005 could have been prevented. Epstein's conviction in 2008 for soliciting sex from girls as young as 14 has long been criticized as a "sweetheart deal." Epstein served 13 months in Palm Beach County Jail with a 12-hour work release during the day In addition, he had to as a sex offender.

杰奎琳·马丁/美联社 报告还指出，“爱泼斯坦无处不在的影响力和深远的人脉关系”使他免受进一步调查。
Jacquelyn Martin/AP The report also says that "Epstein's pervasive influence and far-reaching connections" shielded him from further investigation.
盖茨在6月出席委员会听证会后，来自田纳西州的共和党众议员蒂姆·伯切特称爱泼斯坦为“名流收藏家”。“他只是喜欢身边围着一群大人物，”伯切特说。
After Gates appeared before the committee in June Rep. Tim Burchett, a Republican from Tennessee, called Epstein a "friend collector." "He just liked to have people around him that were a big deal," Burchett said.
报告还指出，特朗普政府的司法部在发布爱泼斯坦档案方面沟通不畅，且未能保护幸存者的个人信息。此次发布是在2025年《爱泼斯坦透明法案》通过以及数百万页文件公开之后进行的。档案的大部分内容被涂黑，但许多幸存者的身份仍然暴露了出来。
The report also says Trump's DOJ did not adequately communicate about the release of the Epstein files or protect survivors' personal information. The release was after the passage of the Epstein Transparency Act in 2025 and the release of millions of pages of documents. Large portions of the files were redacted, but the identities of many survivors were exposed.
最后，报告得出结论称，一些金融机构未能针对人口贩运和移民欺诈的迹象采取行动，从而助长了爱泼斯坦的活动。报告建议财政部及其金融犯罪执法网络审查金融机构是否履行了其报告责任。
Finally, the report concludes that some financial institutions failed to act on indicators of human trafficking and immigration fraud, enabling Epstein's activities. It said that the Treasury Department and its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network should review whether financial institutions are meeting their reporting responsibilities.
司法部在周二发布的一份声明中表示，司法部长托德·布兰奇曾多次表示，“爱泼斯坦案件尚未结案，人口贩运罪不设诉讼时效。”
In a statement released Tuesday, the DOJ said Attorney General Todd Blanche has repeatedly said "the Epstein case is not closed and there is no statute of limitations on human trafficking."
司法部声明称，针对委员会主席詹姆斯·科默的建议，“恕我直言，主席的建议早已得到落实。”声明还说，“司法部将继续追踪与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦有关事项的所有额外调查线索。鼓励任何掌握证据和信息的受害者联系联邦调查局（FBI）。”财政部未立即回应置评请求。
"With all due respect, the Chairman's recommendations have already been addressed," the DOJ statement said of committee chair, James Comer. "The Department will continue following all additional investigative leads in matters relating to Jeffrey Epstein. Any victims with evidence and information are encouraged to reach out to the FBI." The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

加西亚承诺，在委员会由民主党掌控时，将继续对爱泼斯坦进行调查，并举行向公众开放的听证会。
Garcia has promised that when the committee is under Democratic control that it will continue the investigation into Epstein with hearings open to the public.
其他民主党人以及部分共和党人继续推动追究爱泼斯坦同伙的责任。
Other Democrats, as well as some Republicans, have continued to push to hold Epstein associates accountable.
9月，众议院认定亿万富翁投资者莱昂·布莱克藐视国会，因为他违抗了两项国会传票。2013年至2017年间，布莱克向爱泼斯坦支付了数百万美元。布莱克表示，这笔钱是用于税务和遗产规划服务的。他随后起诉了委员会和科默，要求使传票失效。接着，他又起诉加西亚诽谤。
In September, the House of Representatives held billionaire investor Leon Black in contempt of Congress for defying two congressional subpoenas. Between 2013 and 2017, Black paid Epstein millions of dollars. Black said the money was for tax and estate planning services, and he has since sued the committee and Comer to invalidate the subpoenas. Then, he sued Garcia for defamation.
