The Vault: The Epstein Files

After Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Federal Bureau of Prisons facility in Manhattan on August 10, 2019, several inmates and former inmates voiced serious doubts about the official narrative of suicide. One inmate who had previously been housed in the exact cell claimed that the architectural layout made a hanging suicide physically improbable—he cited lack of ceiling fixtures,...

In the majority ruling, the Eleventh Circuit denied Wild’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the Crime Victims’ Rights Act of 2004 (“CVRA”) does not permit a crime-victim to initiate a freestanding civil lawsuit seeking judicial enforcement of her CVRA rights when no criminal prosecution has been formally commenced against the defendant. The court reasoned that the statute’s wording in...

People scrambling to defend Jeffrey Epstein’s enablers are acting like the public demanding accountability is some sort of pitchfork mob obsessed with cancel culture. They’re pretending that exposing the people who protected a serial predator is the same thing as ruining someone’s career over an old joke or a bad tweet. It’s a deliberate distortion—an attempt to blur the line between trivial socia...

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.

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...

In April 1981, Jeffrey Epstein testified before the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an inquiry involving trading in St. Joe Minerals securities.

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 cultivated the image of a major Wall Street operator by surrounding himself with billionaires, bankers, hedge-fund executives and private-equity leaders. His relationships with figures such as Leslie Wexner, Glenn Dubin, Leon Black and Jes Staley made him appear deeply embedded in the highest levels of finance, even though the precise origins of much of his fortune and the full sco...

Prince Andrew was repeatedly warned that sitting down with the BBC to discuss his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein was an enormous risk. His public-relations adviser, Jason Stein, reportedly argued against the interview for months, while defamation lawyer Paul Tweed also urged Andrew not to proceed.

After being advised of the identities of those pr...

The Trump administration is facing criticism for slowing or effectively blocking cooperation with a British investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s network, particularly by restricting access to unredacted U.S. Justice Department files. British authorities, including the Metropolitan Police, have sought these materials as part of ongoing probes into individuals linked to Epstein, but the process has...

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi is now set to sit for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on May 29, after initially refusing to comply with a subpoena tied to the investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

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...

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...

After Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in July 2019, Ghislaine Maxwell seemed to vanish. Reporters, investigators, and even people who had once moved in her social circles said they did not know where she was living or how to reach her. She stopped appearing publicly, avoided the press, and reportedly moved between properties while using layers of privacy and security to keep her location hidden. As scrut...

Larry Visoski and David Rodgers were far more than ordinary pilots in Jeffrey Epstein’s organization. For nearly three decades, they transported Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, young women and girls, wealthy financiers, celebrities, politicians and members of royalty between Epstein’s properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, as well as destinations around the world.
