The Epstein Chronicles

The City of London Corporation is developing a new internal procedure that could allow it to revoke Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s Freedom of the City of London. Officials concluded that no existing legal mechanism permitted them to simply remove the status, which Andrew obtained through patrimony in 2012 because his father, Prince Philip, was a Freeman. The Corporation had previously asked Andrew t...

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to Australian political and business circles added another disturbing layer to the larger story of how deeply he penetrated the international elite. Katherine Keating, the daughter of former prime minister Paul Keating, visited Epstein’s Manhattan mansion, exchanged friendly communications with him and remained in contact after his 2008 conviction was publicly known....

Prince Andrew’s repeated scandals have become a lasting liability for the British monarchy, reinforcing the perception that royal status can shield powerful people from scrutiny and consequences. His friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, the allegations made against him by Virginia Giuffre, his disastrous BBC interview and the financial settlement that followed severely damaged his credibility. His sub...

The Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) report into Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement (NPA) presents a disturbing portrait of federal cowardice, systemic failures, and deliberate abdication of prosecutorial duty. Instead of zealously pursuing justice against a serial predator with dozens of underage victims, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District...

In a development that has raised serious questions about transparency and accountability, the Bureau of Prisons has reportedly terminated the employee who exposed Ghislaine Maxwell’s preferential treatment while in federal custody. Rather than address why a convicted sex trafficker was receiving unusual accommodations — including a relocation that has never been fully explained — officials chose i...

The claim that Jeffrey Epstein left behind a suicide note rests almost entirely on the word of his former cellmate, Nicholas Tartaglione—a convicted killer serving multiple life sentences. Tartaglione alleges he found the note after Epstein’s earlier jail incident, describing it as handwritten and hidden inside a book, with vague, dramatic language suggesting Epstein was contemplating his fate. Bu...

Reports surrounding the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein have revealed a quiet but deeply controversial dynamic behind the scenes: some Republican members have been internally discussing the possibility of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell as a way to secure her cooperation. According to statements from committee leadership and lawmakers, the idea has been floated as a p...

Almost 13 months after pleading guilty to murdering University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Bryan Kohberger filed a handwritten petition seeking to withdraw his plea and obtain post-conviction relief. Kohberger now claims he is innocent and alleges that his defense attorneys pressured him into “falsely confessing” through coercion, false promis...

Ted Waitt told the House Oversight Committee that he met Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein at a Hong Kong dinner in November 2003 and began dating Maxwell the following year, remaining in a relationship with her until September 2010. Waitt portrayed his own contact with Epstein as extremely limited, saying he had only a brief introduction at the dinner, one arranged meeting at Maxwell’s New Yo...

Jes Staley told Congress that he warned JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon about Jeffrey Epstein’s legal troubles in both 2006 and 2008, directly contradicting Dimon’s sworn claim that he did not learn Epstein was a bank client until 2019. Staley said the two men discussed the investigations into Epstein and his continued relationship with JPMorgan, placing Dimon much closer to the bank’s handli...

The deaths surrounding Jeffrey Epstein have become a persistent source of suspicion because several figures who possessed potentially important knowledge died before they could be fully questioned or brought to trial. Epstein himself was found dead in a federal jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting prosecution on sex-trafficking charges. His death was officially ruled a suicide, and federal inve...

Katie Phang accused Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche of withholding foreign-language Epstein records that may contain crucial evidence linking members of the trafficking network and potentially supporting new charges against Ghislaine Maxwell. Judge Emmet Sullivan ordered Blanche to begin reviewing and producing those records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, but the Justice Department...

According to allegations from survivors and reporting about Epstein’s post-conviction activities, Jeffrey Epstein used the Florida Science Foundation as a convenient front to make his movements and work-release activities appear legitimate while he was serving his unusually lenient sentence and later living under supervision. The supposed nonprofit gave Epstein a respectable-sounding workplace con...

Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle demonstrated that his influence was never confined to one profession, political party or social class. He cultivated relationships with billionaires, bankers, attorneys, academics, scientists, politicians, diplomats, royalty, celebrities and leaders of prestigious institutions. Many of these people were treated as pillars of respectable society, yet they continued m...

Authorities in New Mexico have expanded their investigation into activity at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, with a particular focus on visits by Prince Andrew. More than a dozen former employees—including housekeepers, ranch hands, and managers—have reportedly been interviewed by investigators working under the state’s Department of Justice. They were asked to provide detailed accounts of who visi...

A 1999 child-protection campaign linked to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children brought Prince Andrew and Peter Mandelson together at a high-profile event focused on safeguarding vulnerable children. Both men were publicly positioned as advocates against abuse, aligning themselves with efforts to protect minors. Within a short period after that introduction, however, both...

The October 24, 2025 hearing centered on Tyler Robinson’s request to appear at future court proceedings in civilian clothing and without restraints. His attorneys argued that routinely presenting him in jail clothing and shackles would undermine the presumption of innocence, interfere with his ability to participate in his defense and create prejudicial images that could spread through extensive m...

In April 1981, Jeffrey Epstein testified before the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an inquiry involving trading in St. Joe Minerals securities. Epstein described himself as a limited partner and account executive at Bear Stearns who assisted the sales force with commodities and financial-futures recommendations. The questioning focused heavily on his recent departure from the firm,...

An autopsy failed to establish an immediate cause of death for Daniel Siad, the 69-year-old modeling scout who was found dead at his home in Bois-Colombes, near Paris. French prosecutors said examiners found no evidence of recent violence connected to his death, but noted that Siad was in poor overall health and had suffered an earlier heart attack, potentially leaving him vulnerable to sudden car...

Karyna Shuliak, a 37-year-old Belarus-born dentist, emerged from newly released investigative records as Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend and one of the potential principal beneficiaries of his remaining fortune. Shuliak met Epstein in 2011, when she was 21 and living in New York on a temporary student visa, and remained close to him for nearly eight years. Epstein financed her education, hel...

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer tore into Leon Black for what he described as a bad-faith effort to obstruct Congress’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. After Black refused to answer questions during his voluntary interview about nondisclosure agreements involving women, Comer subpoenaed him to return for a sworn deposition and ordered him to produce the agreements. Black subsequ...
