JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Epstein Files are once again making national headlines after the Department of Justice recently released over 3 million documents related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender and human trafficker who is believed to have connections with several notable figures, including President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew).
But the new batch of documents is also shedding more light on some of the disgraced financier’s apparent spending habits across the country, which includes multiple credit card transactions in Jacksonville in late 2004 and 2006.

In credit card receipts that have been posted to the DOJ’s website, containing the “Full Epstein Library,” documents “prepared for Jeffery E Epstein” show various transactions for stays at the Hilton Garden Inn, Courtyard, and Residence Inn at various times throughout October 2004 and November 2006.
The receipts also appear to reveal a multitude of fast food purchases from chains like Ruby Tuesday, Wendy’s, and Denny’s in Jacksonville, and multiple flights both leaving and entering the River City.
Epstein’s ties to Florida have been well-documented throughout the DOJ’s investigation into his life, including his West Palm Beach home that was seen as an integral location for his illegal acts against underage girls.
From tech titans to Wall Street power brokers and foreign dignitaries, a myriad of notable figures show up in the huge trove of documents released by the Justice Department in connection with its investigations of Epstein, along with details about his interactions with the rich and famous after he served time for sex crimes in the Sunshine State.
All have denied having anything to do with his sexual abuse of girls and young women. Yet some of them maintained friendships with Epstein, or developed them anew, even after news stories made him widely known as an alleged abuser of young girls.
None has been charged with a crime connected to the investigation. Epstein killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019.

The files have even prompted the resignation of a top official in Slovakia and revived calls in Britain for Mounbatten-Windsor to share what he knows with authorities about Epstein’s links to powerful individuals around the world.
