Jeffrey Epstein was officially a U.S. government agent according to a memo released among the Epstein Files. The claim comes from an unsigned memo that states, “At some point in time, Jeffrey Epstein worked for the United States government as a financial bounty hunter. He has retained significant political connections with both Israel and the United States.”

The memo’s credibility comes from another part of the note recommending further information about Epstein from other federal agencies. It also accuses Epstein of violating child exploitation and sex offender traveling laws, The memo gives more credence, though not a smoking gun, to the claim Epstein was a government agent.

U.S Government Hired Epstein as ‘Financial Bounty Hunter,’ Memo Reveals – slaynews.com

Explosive new revelations from the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files have revealed that disgraced financier and convicted child predator operated as a “financial bounty hunter” for the U.S. government while maintaining powerful political connections in both the United States and Israel.

The claim appears in an unsigned, undated memo contained within the massive trove of roughly 3 million documents made public following congressional legislation ordering the release of records tied to Epstein.

Though Democrats claim Republicans are “protecting the powerful by allegedly suppressing the release of the Epstein files, political contribution records show that Democrats have received tens of millions in campaign contributions from a major Epstein-files figure.

That figure is none other than Microsoft founder Bill Gates. On Thursday, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform asked Gates to testify over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

At a recent staff town hall at the Gates Foundation, the Microsoft founder’s philanthropy, Gates admitted that he had an affair with two Russian women affiliated with Epstein, a Wall Street Journal report claimed based on a recording of the event.

Gates, however, told the staff that while he had those affairs, the women were connected to Epstein only later. Gates reiterated, “I did nothing illicit. I saw nothing illicit,” in his interactions with Epstein.

Whatever the DOJ has on hand that it is calling the Epstein Files, it is hardly as much as what it could have been. According to a just-now exposed testimony by FBI Agent Aaron Spivack, a hack into their NY Field Office during the 2023 Superbowl led to the FBI losing access to more than 500 terabytes of data. 100 Terabytes would turn out to be lost for good.

FBI Computer System Hacked, Millions of Epstein Files Wiped – slaynews.com

A sworn declaration buried in the Trump administration’s recent release of millions of “Epstein Files” documents reveals that an FBI computer system hack resulted in the destruction of roughly 100 terabytes of Jeffrey Epstein-related data.

The September 2024 declaration from FBI agent Aaron Spivack states that a massive breach of the FBI’s New York Field Office (NYFO) systems on Super Bowl Sunday in 2023 led to the Bureau losing access to approximately 500 terabytes of data.

100 terabytes of this data could not be recovered and was permanently erased.

The document had reportedly received little public attention until it was highlighted by independent journalists.

“500 Terabytes of Data Was Gone”

Spivack worked for more than a decade in the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism and Child Exploitation squads, including the Violent Crimes Against Children (VCAC) unit.

He described discovering the intrusion the day after it occurred.

According to his sworn testimony, when he logged into his work computer, he “noticed it had been restarted” and saw a text file indicating part of his network had been compromised, along with an email address to contact.

After running antivirus software, Spivack learned it “identified one potential threat,” but his administrative privileges had already been removed.

He was later told the threat may have been a “booby-trap” left by a hacker.

We finally have the full video footage of Hillary Clinton’s deposition from last week.

It’s entirely unclear to me why you would record this and then release it a few days later….why not just make it live?

On Monday, fallout continued from a closed-door deposition that is already reshaping the political conversation around Jeffrey Epstein.

Former President Bill Clinton, testifying under oath before the House Oversight Committee on Friday, made a statement that quickly reverberated across Washington: President Donald Trump never gave him any reason to believe he was involved in wrongdoing related to Epstein.

The testimony came during a high-stakes session led by James Comer (R-KY), the committee’s chairman, at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in New York, near the Clintons’ longtime home.

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released full video of former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s testimonies about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The depositions for each before the bipartisan panel lasted 4.5 hours. Hillary Clinton was deposed last Thursday. Bill Clinton was deposed on Friday, the first time a former president has been compelled to testify before Congress.

Clinton said he first flew on Epstein’s plane in 2002 and took trips to Asia, Africa, and Europe.

A bombshell leak has allegedly exposed the membership roster of one of the most secretive elite gatherings in America, the ultra-exclusive Bohemian Grove secret society retreat in Northern California.

The leaked names read like a who’s who of political power, corporate influence, and Silicon Valley dominance.

According to the San Francisco Standard, independent journalist Daniel Boguslaw obtained what appears to be the full 2023 attendance list for the Bohemian Grove encampment, a two-week annual retreat held at the club’s 2,700-acre compound in Sonoma County.

A club member reportedly confirmed the list’s authenticity.

Jeffrey Epstein was not a lone predator. He was an intelligence asset whose network reached into the highest levels of American and British power, and the just-released files barely scratch the surface.

Frank Wright lays out the case: Epstein’s rise through Leslie Wexner (who claimed to be possessed by a “dybbuk”), his connections to Harvard academics, billionaire Zionist donors, Clinton associates, and members of the Trump administration. The question is not who visited an island. The question is why an entire ruling class protected a known operative for decades — and why President Donald Trump resisted releasing the files that name his own friends.

Hillary Clinton’s deposition about her interactions with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was halted Thursday after a picture taken from the closed-door hearing was leaked.

The hearing took place in Chappaqua, New York.

Not long after the hearing began, a picture of Clinton appeared on social media.

Benny Johnson indicated on his X account that the picture was shared by Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, according to Mediaite.

While taking questions from reporters after her closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked why Ghislaine Maxwell — the convicted sex-trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein’s former mistress — was a guest at her daughter’s wedding in 2010.

“Why was Ghislaine Maxwell at Chelsea’s wedding?” the former secretary was asked shortly after the deposition wrapped up. “She came as plus one with a guest who was invited,” Clinton responded shortly before the press conference wrapped up.

An explosive, newly released Department of Justice (DOJ) email has revealed that federal prosecutors were secretly investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s death as a “murder,” despite publicly claiming that the convicted child predator died from suicide.

The bombshell discovery has reignited fierce debate over what really happened inside a federal jail cell in 2019.

The email is part of the latest document tranche released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Copies of the documents have quickly gone viral across social media platforms, fueling fresh skepticism about the government’s long-standing claim that Epstein “killed himself.”

PBS’s Washington Week with The Atlantic remains a reliably Democrat-boosting/Republican-bashing political roundtable, but this Friday, the show featured a tiny, overdue peek into an under-covered angle of the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga, which thus far the media has used as a cudgel against President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.

It turns out Democrats have their own hypocritical partisan reasons for not pursuing the Epstein case, according to a story by Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic magazine, going back to the elitist media’s favorite power couple, the Clintons.

During his Friday deposition before the House Oversight Committee, former President Bill Clinton threw cold water on Democratic hopes that could link President Donald Trump to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In a video posted to X, House Oversight chairman James Comer said that Clinton said that “the president, Trump, has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved, and he meant with Epstein.”

A Republican member of Congress is raising explosive new allegations about Jeffrey Epstein’s operation, arguing that it was far more than a simple trafficking ring.

After sitting through closed-door testimony from former President Bill Clinton, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she believes Epstein was running what she described as an “intelligence-gathering operation.”

“Jeffrey Epstein was running an intelligence gathering operation, in my professional opinion,” Luna said during a press conference.

“I do believe it was a honeypot operation.

The former Prime Minister of Norway has been rushed to hospital after a reported suicide attempt.

Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised on Tuesday, February 24, just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences, linked to his association with paedophile Epstein. Reports of Jagland attempting suicide were denied by his lawyer.

Jagland was charged with “gross corruption” after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and convicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018. Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt, but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to the hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act.

House members are eyeing a new phase in their monthslong investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein: a race to produce results that match the stunning Epstein fallout across the globe and satisfy an electorate clamoring for accountability.

This week’s interviews of Bill and Hillary Clinton — who are scheduled to testify to lawmakers under subpoena and behind closed doors about their relationships with Epstein and his convicted co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell — could be a pivotal moment in this effort.

Peter Attia, a physician and prominent voice in the field of longevity science, has stepped down from his role as a contributor to CBS News after newly released government records revealed extensive communications between him and Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. The departure came weeks after Attia had been added to the network’s roster as part of an editorial overhaul.

CBS News announced Attia’s hiring on January 28 of this year, alongside 18 other contributors in a move overseen by editor in chief Bari Weiss. The additions were presented as an effort to expand the network’s expertise in health and science coverage. Within days, however, the Department of Justice released millions of pages of documents tied to its long-running investigation into Epstein, under the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Attia’s name appeared repeatedly in the materials.
