It is going beyond the United States (In fact, I would argue there is so far very few consequences in the US since Trump and his goons are blocking it all). In other countries however, that is not the case:
Under investigation or formal probe
Peter Mandelson (UK)
UK police launched an investigation (misconduct in public office allegations tied to leaks to Epstein).

EDIT: I want to make it clear, its not a list of people cited in the files, that is much bigger number. It is a list of people who suffered consequences, either by resigning, being ostracized or under investigation.
