Senator Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers from JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon about whether he acted on advice connected to Jeffrey Epstein while lobbying against a proposed British tax on bankers’ bonuses.

Judge Lewis Kaplan made it clear early in Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit that he would not allow Prince Andrew’s attorneys to bury the case beneath procedural disputes or use technical arguments to postpone confronting the allegations. When Andrew’s legal team challenged whether he had been properly served with the lawsuit, Kaplan authorized Giuffre to deliver the papers through Andrew’s America...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationships with Michael Wolff, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates differed in purpose and duration, but each demonstrates how Epstein sought access to influential people who could enhance his legitimacy.

Prince Andrew repeatedly attempted to rebuild his public position after stepping away from royal duties in 2019, but those efforts were firmly resisted by his older brother Charles while he was still Prince of Wales.

New Mexico prosecutors have issued evidence-preservation notices to more than two dozen technology, financial and travel companies as they investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch and attempt to secure the complete record of Prince Andrew’s communications with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The notices reportedly cover emails, messages, travel information and other digital records held by compani...

Zorro Ranch was long one of the least thoroughly examined pieces of Jeffrey Epstein’s world, despite repeated allegations that women and girls were taken there and abused. Unlike his Manhattan townhouse and Palm Beach residence, the sprawling New Mexico property was not searched by federal authorities after his 2019 arrest, leaving years of activity at the ranch largely unexplored. Its remote loca...

Jeffrey Epstein demonstrated a sophisticated ability to obscure where his money came from, where it moved and who ultimately benefited from it. He operated through layers of corporations, trusts, offshore accounts and entities registered in secrecy-friendly jurisdictions, making his financial network difficult to trace as a single, coherent operation. Investigative records have shown that his weal...

As Jeffrey Epstein faced prosecution in Florida, his friends and associates sent a letter to prosecutors portraying him as a generous, accomplished and valuable member of society who deserved leniency. That intervention was part of a broader effort to replace the image emerging from the evidence with a carefully manufactured portrait of a respectable financier, philanthropist and trusted adviser t...
