Seven women have filed a civil lawsuit in New York accusing celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai and employee Patrick Coombs of helping groom them for Jeffrey Epstein, including by altering their appearance to suit Epstein’s preferences.

The lawsuit was originally filed in New York Supreme Court under the city’s Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act, accusing Wexner and related entities of helping...

Bill Clinton’s testimony to Congress created a glaring problem when it came to Jeffrey Epstein’s White House access. Clinton reportedly told lawmakers that he remembered first meeting Epstein in the early 2000s, after his presidency, largely in connection with travel and philanthropic work. But White House visitor logs showed Epstein entering the Clinton White House repeatedly during the 1990s, wi...

Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn were, in practical terms, Jeffrey Epstein’s go-to pair whenever something needed to be handled in the worlds of law, money, corporations, trusts, property or estate planning. Indyke was the longtime lawyer who helped structure Epstein’s legal affairs, form and manage entities, deal with contracts and trusts, and navigate the legal architecture around his wealth. Kahn...

Senator Ron Wyden is pressing for deeper answers about Leon Black’s financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as congressional scrutiny of Black intensifies. According to the reporting, Wyden’s Senate Finance Committee investigation has focused on why Black transferred an estimated $170 million to Epstein between 2012 and 2017, payments Wyden argues were far larger than what Black paid to establ...

Tyler Robinson’s case is officially headed to trial after Utah District Judge Tony Graf ruled that prosecutors presented enough evidence to move forward on the aggravated murder charge in the killing of Charlie Kirk. Prosecutors argued that Robinson fired a high-powered rifle from a rooftop more than 400 feet away as Kirk spoke before a crowd of more than 3,000 people at Utah Valley University, cr...

Paulette Sutton was one of the prosecution’s forensic experts in the case against Bryan Kohberger, and her specialty was crime-scene reconstruction and bloodstain-pattern analysis.

JPMorgan and former executive Jes Staley asked a federal court to reveal the identity of a Jane Doe who had sued Deutsche Bank over its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, arguing that she could possess information relevant to the separate litigation against JPMorgan. The bank said the woman may have had firsthand knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation and his relationships with associate...

For years, the Epstein story has been defined as much by the people who never seem to face meaningful scrutiny as by the two people who actually went to prison. That is why Thomas Massie’s decision to name fourteen alleged Epstein co-conspirators on the floor of Congress matters. The list includes Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Thomas Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Jean-Luc Brunel,...

Rep. Thomas Massie used a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to accuse Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of committing sex crimes in the United States and to argue that he should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted. Massie named Andrew while calling out a broader group of people he described as alleged co-conspirators or participants in Jeffrey Epstein’s network, saying th...

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell had extensive ties to France, yet the full scope of what happened there remains far less explored than their activities in New York, Florida or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Epstein owned a lavish apartment on Avenue Foch in Paris that functioned as both a social hub and, according to survivor accounts and later investigative findings, another location where young...

Congress increasingly focused on Richard Kahn because he was not some distant accountant who occasionally handled Jeffrey Epstein’s taxes; he spent years inside the machinery of Epstein’s finances and later became a co-executor of his estate. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Kahn and questioned him behind closed doors in March 2026 about the companies, payments, gifts, financial transactio...

A leaked dossier known as Project Fish reportedly claims that Lord Peter Mandelson was viewed by Russian intelligence as a “privileged contact” for more than three decades, beginning around the time he served as Labour’s director of communications in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The dossier, reportedly compiled by a former British intelligence officer with knowledge of Russian operations, alleg...

A Utah judge is set to decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence to send Tyler Robinson to trial for the aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk, a charge that could make Robinson eligible for the death penalty. The decision follows an unusually lengthy preliminary hearing in which prosecutors spent five days laying out what they described as overwhelming evidence tying Robinson to the S...

Bryan Kohberger’s newest attorney, Jason Goldman, says the immediate focus of the defense is whether Kohberger’s 2025 guilty plea was constitutionally valid and truly entered knowingly and voluntarily. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, but he is now seeking post-conviction relief and att...
