The Vault: The Epstein Files

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. Sutton reviewed the blood evidence documented inside 1122 King Road, including the location, distribution and characteristics of stains throughout the house, in an effort to help reconstruct what happened during the mur...

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...

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...

Doug Band, once one of Bill Clinton’s closest aides and a key figure in Clinton’s post-presidential world, sat for a closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. According to sources familiar with the interview, Band repeatedly said he could not recall details about his interactions with Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and related communic...

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...

The transcripts from Jes Staley’s July 24, 2026 interview with the House Oversight Committee revealed just how deep and personal his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became, while also exposing contradictions in the way Staley had described that relationship publicly. Staley acknowledged visiting Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse dozens of times, traveling to Little St. James on multiple occasions an...

A newly released Bureau of Prisons document sheds more light on Ghislaine Maxwell’s controversial transfer to a minimum-security federal prison, but it stops short of answering the biggest question surrounding the move: why it happened. Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold obtained Maxwell’s prison transfer form after a yearlong Freedom of Information Act battle with the Bureau of Prisons. The form co...

Rep. Thomas Massie escalated his push for accountability in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by naming 14 people on the House floor whom he described as Epstein “co-conspirators” who should be investigated and potentially prosecuted. The names included Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkann, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frédéric Fekkai, Edoardo Teodorani, Jean-Luc Brunel, Dani...

Jane Doe No. 6 filed suit against Jeffrey Epstein in federal court in South Florida in September 2008, accusing him of sexual assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and coercion and enticement to sexual activity. Her allegations described the same broader system that appeared throughout the Epstein cases: economically vulnerable teenage girls were brought into his Palm...

Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships within segments of France’s political and cultural elite, using wealth, connections, and social access to move comfortably among influential figures. Central to the scrutiny is Jack Lang, a longtime French political figure whose ties to Epstein are detailed in newly surfaced materials showing years of communication, meetings, and requests for assistance. Th...

The congressional committee overseeing aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has too often projected disorganization rather than discipline. Hearings have at times devolved into partisan sparring, with members appearing more focused on cable-news soundbites than methodical fact-finding. Lawmakers have publicly contradicted one another about timelines, subpoena strategies, and the scope of r...

The U.S. House Oversight Committee requested testimony from several high-profile figures — including Bill Gates, Kathryn Ruemmler, and Leon Black — as part of its expanding investigation into connections surrounding Jeffrey Epstein. Committee Chairman James Comer sent letters asking seven individuals to appear before the panel, stating that the committee believes they may possess information relev...

Attorneys representing media organizations are pushing back against Tyler Robinson’s renewed effort to keep cameras out of the courtroom for the final day of his preliminary hearing on September 1. They argue that Judge Tony Graf has already rejected the defense’s broader objections to electronic media coverage and that Robinson has not shown the kind of specific prejudice necessary to overcome th...
