Epstein Files

Blurb:

On the House floor today, congressman Ro Khanna named the six high profile men that are included in the unredacted version of the documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

Khanna named, US businessman Leslie Wexner of Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch and Bath & Body Works fame; Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem; and Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, and Nicola Caputo.

“If we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those three million files,” Khanna said. “Why are they protecting these rich and powerful men? People I call part of the ‘Epstein class’. Why are we in a country where there is no elite accountability for people who do the most heinous things?”

A reminder that this week, the California Democrat went to the Department of Justice with Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman who co-led the Epstein Files Transparency Act effort, to view the unredacted files. The justice department made their most recent release of documents available for members of Congress to view in-person. On Monday, Khanna and Massie the pair had to do “some digging” before finding the new names, they told reporters.

Jail staff guarding Jeffrey Epstein allegedly deployed a decoy body to fool reporters gathered outside the prison following his death, newly unsealed files claim. An internal memo states a supervisor at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center told FBI agents that workers staged the deception amid a huge media presence after Epstein’s apparent suicide in 2019.

The documents allege officers arranged boxes and sheets to resemble a corpse before loading the dummy into a white van marked as belonging to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, prompting journalists to follow it while the real body was removed separately. The files claim Epstein’s body was instead placed into a black vehicle that left the facility “unnoticed”, allowing officers to move it in private after staff warned of the large crowd outside. Records also show investigators recovered a handwritten note from inside Epstein’s cell that the medical examiner did not classify as a suicide note. Described as “difficult to read”, it appeared to list grievances about jail conditions, including complaints about food, showers and insects.

Newly released records – part of a cache of three million documents – describe the response inside the prison as media gathered outside after Jeffrey Epstein was found dead.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has demanded an investigation into diplomat Fabrice Aidan following the revelation that the foreign affairs secretary shared a long email correspondence with late sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein. French media reported that Aidan had resigned from his position at the United Nations in 2013 after having been caught visiting child sex abuse material websites.

Epstein court documents reveal President Trump was one of the first people to raise an alarm about Jeffrey Epstein. He did so in 2006 when he called the police to recommend they investigate Jeffrey Epstein AND Gislaine Maxwell, whom he called evil. The transcript of the phone call reveals Trump suspected Maxwell of being Epstein’s “operative.” He also called her “evil.” The call happened shortly after the Epstein investigation began.

New Docs Reveal President Trump Was One of the FIRST To Blow the Whistle on Jeffrey Epstein – wltreport.com

New Epstein court documents have just been released.

Not only do these new files fully exonerate President Trump, but they prove that he actually helped police in their investigation of Epstein.

One of the files shows that President Trump called the Palm Beach police about Jeffrey Epstein back in 2006.

The document notes that President Trump was “one of the very first people to call” about Epstein’s disgusting crimes.

He also told police that they should “focus on” Ghislaine Maxwell, whom he called “evil.”

An explosive detail has been discovered in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents that has been hailed as a “bombshell” finding that could “solve the mystery” surrounding the child predator.

Former State Department official Mike Benz is sounding the alarm after newly released Department of Justice (DOJ) records revealed that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) appears to hold classified information about Epstein.

In the files are documents showing that the CIA responded to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request tied to Epstein.

Former President Bill Clinton excoriated Republicans’ demands to have him and Hillary Clinton testify about Jeffrey Epstein and called for a public hearing instead.

Clinton wrote in an angry screed on social media Wednesday that Republican Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer of Kentucky asked them to appear at a closed-door hearing.

‘Who benefits from this arrangement? It’s not Epstein’s victims, who deserve justice. Not the public, who deserve the truth.’

Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell abruptly shut down a congressional deposition Monday morning, invoking the Fifth Amendment less than an hour after questioning began.

On Monday morning, Maxwell appeared virtually to testify before the House Oversight Committee.

The closed-door interview is tied to lawmakers’ expanding investigation into the federal government’s handling of child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has positioned himself as a firebrand when it comes to exposing the Epstein files, and he now has a chance to prove it’s not just partisan grandstanding.

Following the release of more information on Monday, his fellow party member, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), has been further implicated in the scandal. According to multiple emails, she used a pseudonym to solicit funding from Epstein for a “new voter file” that would help her win elections in the Virgin Islands.

Democratic congresswoman Stacey Plaskett (V.I.) beseeched Jeffrey Epstein for help funding a new “voter file” that would allow her to “completely outperform anyone in any race.”

Using the email handle “LeRoy Daughter,” Plaskett pitched Epstein on the idea in an email on May 5, 2017, according to documents released by the Department of Justice. In the pitch, Plaskett asked Epstein to fund a one-year project to “create a new voter file” of Virgin Islands voters.

The goal, according to Plaskett, was to compile data on Virgin Islanders who had voted in recent elections and update their phone numbers, email addresses, and home addresses to help Plaskett’s campaign and those of her allies in other races.

“This is the most important group to poll for messaging and later phone banking for support and get to the polls,” wrote Plaskett, adding that the list would help candidates decide what political positions to take and assist “messaging and campaign work.”

CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said Monday that Ghislaine Maxwell may have weakened her own Fifth Amendment protection by previously speaking at length with federal officials.

Maxwell met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in late July and answered questions about her ties to Jeffrey Epstein and her alleged role in the trafficking network. During a discussion on “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Honig said Maxwell’s decision to speak openly with Blanche may have weakened her ability to invoke the Fifth Amendment.

The fallout from the Epstein Files data dump, so far, has been far worse in the UK, where their Prime Minister faces growing calls to resign from his own party members, than in the U.S. where no major figures took serious hits.

In an email exchange between New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch and Jeffrey Epstein, the two men discussed multiple women, and Epstein sent details about their lives to the film producer-turned-NFL owner.

In one email from 2013, Tisch asked for details about a “Ukrainian Girl” who had lunch with him after meeting at Epstein’s house. He called her a “very sweet girl.”

Epstein replied that the woman had “a 10 ass” and is a “character,” adding he would get “all info” on her.

Tisch responded that he was “curious to know about” the woman, and asked Epstein if she is a “pro or civilian?” prompting Epstein to reply that he doesn’t “like records of these conversations.”

Regarding a different woman, Tisch asked Epstein, “Is she fun?”

Epstein replied that the woman is “a civilian, but russian, and rarely tells the full truth, but fun.”

In a separate email, after it appears Tisch met with a woman, Epstein told Tisch that a “report” was “just in” from their encounter, and he told the Giants owner that “you did very well… she is a little freaked by the age difference but go slow…”

In another email from the same year, Tisch appeared to be emailing with a woman that Epstein had introduced him to, writing to her, “Jeffrey Epstein is very excited about you and I meeting each other… I like that idea… do you?”

Epstein then appeared to give him tips about the woman’s life, suggesting she was still in college and could not travel during the week to meet Tisch.

“Never heard back from her,” Tisch wrote to Epstein in a reply. “Oh well…”

Other emails show Tisch inviting Epstein to a Giants football game and Epstein inviting Tisch to his private island.

Tisch said in a statement to CBS News: “We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”

CBS News has reached out to the NFL and the Giants for comment.

Major Democrat donor Brad Karp stepped down Wednesday from his role as chairman of Paul Weiss after newly released emails revealed close ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

While the firm did not provide a reason for his departure, Karp said in a statement that “recent reporting has created a distraction and has placed a focus on me that is not in the best interests of the firm.”

“Leading Paul, Weiss for the past 18 years has been the honor of my professional life,” Karp stated.

When Big Tech sugar daddy Reid Hoffman isn’t trying to explain his past adventures with the late-serial pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, he’s busy pumping cash into the campaign coffers of liberal hypocrites.

The LinkedIn co-founder over the past four years has written more than $1.8 million in checks to the Welcome PAC, a so-called “dark money” funding machine for Democrat candidates. And Hoffman’s generosity is feeding the campaigns of “moderate” Democrats like California’s Adam Gray, Michigan’s Kristen McDonald Rivet, and other left-leaning candidates facing tight midterm races.

Mona Juul, the Norwegian ambassador to Jordan and Iraq, was reportedly exempted from work responsibilities following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Epstein seemingly bequeathed a sum of $10 million dollars to Juul’s children, the Straits Times reported, citing local media.

Included in the files was The 1953 Trust, a 32 page document outlining over 40 beneficiaries. The document refers to separate $5 million bequeathments to Edward Roed Larsen and Emma Roed Larsen, who appear to be her two children.

The document was dated Aug. 8, 2019, and Epstein died Aug. 10, 2019.

The Department of Justice made about 3 million pages worth of documents relating to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein available on Friday.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the latest tranche of documents was winnowed from about 6 million due to personally identifying information of victims, medical files, child pornography images, and any images showing death or abuse, according to ABC News.

The documents released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act include 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

“We comply with the act, and there is no ‘protect President Trump.’ We didn’t protect or not protect anybody,” Blanche said.

Former President Bill Clinton and his failed presidential candidate wife, Hillary Clinton, have agreed to testify before Congress after being threatened with contempt charges.

The Clintons previously issued a defiant statement accusing the administration of using the apparatus of government to punish their political enemies, but they changed their tune Monday.

‘The former President and former Secretary of State will be there. They look forward to setting a precedent that applies to everyone.’

President Donald Trump said Monday that he is considering legal action against comedian Trevor Noah, the host of the 2026 Grammy Awards, after Noah made false remarks during the broadcast linking Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During Sunday night’s ceremony, Noah joked that Trump’s interest in acquiring Greenland stemmed from his alleged inability to visit Epstein’s private Caribbean island.

Noah appeared to be referring to Friday’s release of millions of Epstein Files.

The files were released under congressional legislation, which Trump signed into law.

A massive new release of Department of Justice (DOJ) records tied to Jeffrey Epstein is sending shockwaves through elite circles, and billionaire Bill Gates appears to be scrambling after being directly implicated in a series of deeply disturbing allegations.

As Slay News previously reported, the millions of pages released Friday include emails in which Epstein makes salacious claims that Gates begged him to obtain antibiotics so he could secretly dose his wife to conceal sexually transmitted diseases he allegedly contracted from “Russian girls.”

According to the DOJ-released files, Epstein discussed helping Gates obtain drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls,” as well as facilitating illicit relationships with married women.

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Deputy Director Dan Bongino on Monday defended President Donald Trump’s administration handling of files about deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on his first episode of “The Dan Bongino Show” since leaving the bureau.

After Axios reported on July 6 that a Department of Justice (DOJ) memo found that Epstein had left no “client list” and that there was no evidence of foul play in his death, many Trump supporters criticized the administration. However, Bongino suggested on his show that the administration could not have handled the Epstein files better.

The latest release of the Epstein files includes a 2013 email from the disgraced financier and sex predator to himself about the Microsoft co-founder in which Epstein claims Gates caught an STD after “sex with Russians girls” and wanted to slip antibiotics to his wife instead of telling her. Gates insists the claims are “completely false.”

In the 2013 email — written seemingly in the voice of one of Gates’ top advisers, Boris Nikolic, but sent only to Epstein himself  — the disgraced financier and convicted sex predator wrote that the Microsoft co-founder was trying “to get drugs in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls.”

U.S. Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett privately referred to Jeffrey Epstein as her “friend” and shared him exclusive, non-public details about her legislative work, according to newly released text messages that undercut her public claims about the nature of their relationship.

In a Sept. 24, 2018, message, Plaskett thanked Epstein, a longtime campaign donor and Virgin Islands resident, for his “support” and asked whether it would be “presumptuous” of her to “consider you a friend.”

“Privileged to be called friend,” Epstein replied. He was arrested 10 months later on federal charges accusing him of trafficking dozens of women and girls for sex. He died by suicide in jail on Aug. 10, 2019.

The latest release of the Jeffrey Epstein Files has detonated an explosive political firestorm in the United Kingdom, after newly disclosed emails exposed disturbing conversations between the convicted child predator and the UK’s former Ambassador to the United States, Lord Peter Mandelson, one of Britain’s most powerful Labour Party figures and a longtime anti-Trump operative.

The emails, released as part of the newest tranche of Justice Department records, show Epstein joking with Lord Mandelson about marrying into the British royal family.

It has been 9,133 days since William Jefferson Clinton was president.

In that time, the World Trade Center has fallen. The first mass-produced product with WiFi, Apple’s iBook, was less than two years old at the time. Broadband internet was rare outside of college campuses. Real smartphones were years away. Barack Obama was an Illinois state senator who had, just four years prior, transitioned from being a “community organizer.”

George W. Bush was replacing Clinton, thanks in part to third-party candidates who took away votes from Democratic nominee Al Gore. One of them wasn’t businessman Donald Trump, who had considered a Reform Party run but decided against it. Liberals and conservatives alike, of course, thought that the possibility itself was silly, and thank heavens it didn’t have to be entertained anymore.
