Nearly seven years after Jeffrey Epstein's death, fresh documents are exposing more about his twisted plea deal back in 2008.

He rode out in his own SUV, driven by his personal guy, supposedly heading to a charity. Turns out that SUV even had a bed inside it. One woman told the FBI he hooked up with her right there in the jail parking lot. These details come from files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, as reported by CBS News this week. Lawyers for Epstein's victims are fired up.
