The Vault: The Epstein Files

Jes Staley’s admission that he had what he described as consensual sexual relations with one of Jeffrey Epstein’s assistants seriously undermines the narrative that Epstein’s trafficking operation had no outside beneficiaries. The issue is not simply whether Staley used the word “consensual,” but whether that woman was operating inside Epstein’s larger ecosystem of coercion, dependency, employment...

For years, Lord Peter Mandelson tried to minimize the depth and seriousness of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, presenting it as a regrettable association from the past rather than an intimate, ongoing connection with a convicted sex offender. That version became harder to sustain as more material emerged showing that Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein was not casual, distant, or easily d...

Jes Staley’s Epstein narrative was built around distance, professionalism, and minimization: he repeatedly tried to frame Jeffrey Epstein as a former client or business contact from his JPMorgan days rather than a genuinely close personal associate. That version began to collapse as regulators, court filings, and released communications showed something far more intimate and sustained. Staley and...

Prince Andrew’s Epstein disgrace reportedly created a deep strain inside the royal family because Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip appeared to respond to the crisis from very different emotional positions. The Queen was widely portrayed as a mother who, despite the public humiliation and institutional damage, remained personally protective of Andrew for as long as she could. She allowed him to...

Former U.S. Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh Jr. has filed a memorandum in federal court seeking to dismiss, transfer, or strike the lawsuit brought by five anonymous women identified as Jane Does 1-5, who accuse the Virgin Islands government and several current and former officials of enabling Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. De Jongh argues that the Southern District of New York lacks...

The document is a sworn OIG interview transcript from June 15, 2021, involving the Bureau of Prisons captain who oversaw security operations at MCC New York during the period surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him...

Jes Staley, the former Barclays chief executive and former JPMorgan Chase executive, has agreed to sit for a voluntary, transcribed interview with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on July 23 about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The interview was requested by Oversight Chairman James Comer as part of the committee’s broader probe into how Epstein was able to maintain acce...

More than 1,500 pages of documents tied to Peter Mandelson’s controversial appointment as Britain’s ambassador to the United States were released, but the release immediately triggered more questions than answers. The files reportedly showed Mandelson aggressively lobbying for the Washington post, promising ministers they would “never regret” appointing him, while also revealing internal Labour me...

Donald Trump has refiled his $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein that was said to have appeared in a 2003 birthday album compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. Trump denies writing the letter and his amended complaint continues to argue that no authentic letter or drawing exists, even though the House Oversight...

Fidelity opened a brokerage account for a Jeffrey Epstein-owned company in mid-April 2019, just months before Epstein’s July 2019 arrest and at a time when public outrage over his earlier sweetheart deal was already intensifying. The account was opened for Southern Trust Company, Epstein’s Virgin Islands-based entity, and it received more than $5 million before Fidelity apparently moved to restric...

Darren Indyke was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s longest-serving and most important lawyers, operating less like a courtroom-only defense attorney and more like a central legal-business figure inside Epstein’s private empire. He handled Epstein-related corporate, estate, trust, and legal affairs for years, was named as one of the executors of Epstein’s estate, and later became a major figure in litigati...

Prince Andrew’s reputation inside the royal household has long been portrayed as deeply unpopular, especially among people who worked around him rather than above him. Former palace staff and royal insiders have described him as arrogant, entitled, short-tempered, and needlessly difficult, with accounts alleging that he barked orders, swore at staff, expected extreme deference, and treated palace...

Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell were repeatedly described as unusually close, long-running friends whose relationship predated much of the public Epstein scandal and helped place Andrew inside Epstein’s social orbit. Andrew has said he knew Maxwell from her university years at Oxford, and he has acknowledged that he met Epstein through her, although later accounts and released records have rai...

Jeffrey Epstein played a role in the early stages of the Clinton Global Initiative by reportedly providing seed funding and strategic input. According to statements from his legal representatives, Epstein was part of the initial group that helped conceive the foundation and donated $25,000 in 2005, during its formative phase. While the Clinton Foundation has downplayed the relationship, multiple r...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with transhumanism was never some passing curiosity—it was one of the central obsessions that animated the final decade of his life. He fancied himself a benefactor of “the future of humanity,” throwing money and influence at scientists who were willing to indulge his fantasies about genetic engineering, human enhancement, brain-mapping, and even selective breeding....

Bill Richardson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein highlight the grotesque double standard that protects the powerful. Despite being named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men she was trafficked to, Richardson—former New Mexico governor, U.N. ambassador, and establishment insider—faced almost no scrutiny. His denials were delivered with the bland, calculated tone of a man confident that his rep...

George Mitchell, the former Senate Majority Leader and respected peace negotiator, was named under oath by Virginia Giuffre as one of the men Jeffrey Epstein trafficked her to. Despite the gravity of the allegation, Mitchell’s name was quietly pushed aside, his denial accepted without serious challenge, and the story faded from public discourse. Unlike figures such as Prince Andrew or Donald Trump...

New Mexico’s Epstein Survivors Truth Commission has issued its first major round of subpoenas as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling property outside Santa Fe that has long been tied to allegations of abuse, trafficking, and institutional failure. The commission, created by New Mexico lawmakers in early 2026, is seeking records from more than a dozen...

Amanda Ungaro, a former Brazilian model and former partner of Paolo Zampolli, claimed in a deleted online recording that Melania Trump knew Jeffrey Epstein before she met Donald Trump and that Epstein, not Zampolli, was the person who introduced the couple. The allegations also point to a reported 2019 FBI proffer interview in which a former Epstein assistant allegedly said Epstein introduced Mela...

Jess Michaels, a Jeffrey Epstein survivor, accused Buckingham Palace of helping shield Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor by failing to act on damaging material it reportedly received years earlier. The central issue is an archive of roughly 30,000 emails allegedly handed to the Palace’s Lord Chamberlain in May 2020, tied to Andrew’s work as a UK trade envoy and his dealings with powerful business figures...

Dr. James Fine, a longtime Columbia College of Dental Medicine administrator, is set to leave his post after newly scrutinized records showed he twice helped Karyna Shuliak, Jeffrey Epstein’s former girlfriend, gain entry into Columbia dental programs. The first instance involved her admission into the dental school after she had initially been rejected, during a period when Epstein was being cour...
