Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Zorro Ranch in New Mexico reportedly welcomed an extraordinary collection of powerful and famous visitors, including former governor Bill Richardson, Prince Andrew, and people connected to the Clinton family. Richardson was reported to have visited the ranch multiple times, while former employees and other accounts placed Prince Andrew at the property during his years-l...

Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch remained on the market for roughly two years and underwent multiple price reductions before a buyer was finally found. The sprawling New Mexico property was originally listed in 2021 for $27.5 million, but after failing to attract a purchaser, the asking price was cut by $6 million to $21.5 million and later slashed again to $18 million. Altogether, Epstein’s estate w...

House Democrats are accusing Oversight Republicans of deliberately slowing and containing the Epstein investigation by shifting away from formal hearings into a series of loosely structured “roundtables.” These sessions allow discussion and public posturing, but strip the committee of its most powerful tool—members cannot force votes on subpoenas. According to Democrats, that procedural shift effe...

The New York Times has reported that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein shared a much closer relationship in the late 1980s through the 1990s and early 2000s than Trump has publicly acknowledged. According to the Times, Epstein described Trump as his “best friend,” and the two socialized frequently at parties, spoke often by phone, and were part of the same high-society circles, particularly bonding...

Lesley Groff told the House Oversight Committee that she worked for Jeffrey Epstein from February 2001 until July 2019 as his secretary/administrative assistant, handling scheduling, calls, travel coordination, calendars, and staff logistics. Her central position was that Epstein kept her separated from his criminal life, that she never witnessed abuse, never had a victim disclose abuse to her, an...

Vicky Ward became part of the Epstein story through her 2003 Vanity Fair profile, “The Talented Mr. Epstein,” one of the earliest major magazine examinations of his mysterious wealth, relationship with Leslie Wexner and access to powerful people. Ward’s reporting raised serious questions about Epstein’s financial history and described threats made against her while she was preparing the story. Mor...

Some of the most powerful figures and institutions on Wall Street treated Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal history as a manageable reputational problem rather than a reason to cut him off. JPMorgan Chase kept Epstein as a client until 2013, five years after he pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor, while he continued moving large sums of money, withdrawing substantial amounts of cash an...

The transcripts from Howard Lutnick’s closed-door appearance before Congress painted a picture of a witness trying to minimize both the depth and duration of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein while lawmakers confronted him with records suggesting far more contact than he had previously acknowledged. Lutnick repeatedly described his interactions with Epstein as “inconsequential,” insisting he o...

A South Carolina woman told the FBI in multiple 2019 interviews that Jeffrey Epstein abused and trafficked her when she was a minor, beginning around age 13. She described being recruited into Epstein’s orbit and transported to various locations where the abuse allegedly occurred. As part of her account, she claimed she was introduced to Donald Trump during that time, placing him within the same c...

The situation surrounding the Epstein files has become increasingly tangled inside the Trump-era Justice Department, with conflicting signals creating more confusion than clarity. After former attorney general Pam Bondi failed to comply with a congressional subpoena over her handling of the files, lawmakers began threatening contempt proceedings, arguing that her departure from the role does not a...

Members of Congress are sharply divided over the idea of a potential pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, with the debate emerging in the context of ongoing investigations into Jeffrey Epstein’s network. Some Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have indicated they would consider supporting a pardon if it meant securing Maxwell’s full cooperation and testimony, viewing it as a possible way to ext...

Charlie Kirk was killed in what amounts to a political assassination, and the gravity of that cannot be softened, blurred, or buried under the usual noise. This was not just another violent crime, not just another court case, and not just another headline for people to weaponize for a news cycle. It was the killing of a public political figure in front of the country, followed almost immediately b...

Thames Valley Police detectives are reportedly preparing to travel to the United States to interview relatives of Virginia Giuffre as part of their expanding investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is accusing the Justice Department of obstructing the state’s reopened criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch by refusing to provide complete, unredacted federal files. Torrez says the withheld material contains the names of survivors, witnesses, suspected co-conspirators and other people considered essential to determining what happened a...
