The Vault: The Epstein Files

Prince Andrew reportedly vacationed in Phuket, Thailand, with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in 2001, during a period when Andrew’s relationship with Epstein was far closer than he would later publicly suggest. According to the reporting, Andrew stayed at the ultra-exclusive Amanpuri resort, where private villas could cost thousands of pounds per night, while Epstein and Maxwell were also i...

Utah County has already spent roughly $1.6 million on Tyler Robinson’s publicly funded defense in the year since he was charged with murdering Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, and the bill is expected to climb substantially as the death-penalty case moves toward trial. Because Robinson was found unable to afford his own attorneys, the county appointed an experienced capital-defense team led...

The State’s amended supplemental expert disclosure for Idaho State Police forensic scientist Tina Walthall outlined the latent-print testimony prosecutors expected to present in Bryan Kohberger’s case. Walthall was identified as a forensic science expert specializing in fingerprints and friction-ridge evidence, and the disclosure said she would explain how latent prints were deposited, developed,...

Seven women, including five Jane Does, Kersti Ferguson and Audra Christiansen, sued celebrity hairstylist Frédéric Fekkai, his company and employee Patrick Coombs, alleging that Fekkai’s salon became part of Jeffrey Epstein’s grooming and control system. The complaint portrayed Fekkai not as a peripheral acquaintance but as someone who allegedly benefited financially from Epstein while providing s...

Law-enforcement agencies in at least five European countries reportedly said the U.S. Justice Department had failed to respond to formal requests for assistance as they pursued investigations stemming from the expanding Jeffrey Epstein record. Officials in Poland, Norway, Latvia, the United Kingdom and Germany told The Washington Post that they had sought help through mutual legal assistance reque...

Jes Staley’s testimony to Congress was extraordinarily difficult to believe because his repeated claims of ignorance about Jeffrey Epstein collided with the sheer depth of their relationship and with Staley’s own admissions under questioning. Staley maintained that he never knew Epstein was trafficking or abusing girls, yet he acknowledged an association that involved hundreds of communications, r...

MC2 Model Management was a modeling agency created in 2005 from the U.S. operations of French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel, with offices in New York and Miami. Brunel had already faced allegations dating back years concerning his treatment of young models, and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein had become extremely close by the early 2000s. Epstein was not simply another acquaintance hanging...

Bank of America’s relationship to Jeffrey Epstein’s financial network became a major legal and regulatory problem because survivors alleged the bank processed suspicious transactions involving people and entities around Epstein while failing to report obvious red flags quickly enough. The most significant issue involved roughly $170 million that Leon Black sent to Epstein between 2012 and 2017 thr...

Deutsche Bank’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein was riddled with compliance failures even though the bank knew exactly how risky he was. Epstein became a Deutsche Bank client in 2013 after JPMorgan finally cut him loose, and the bank classified him as high risk because of his 2008 conviction and the public allegations surrounding his abuse of young women. Yet New York regulators later found that Deuts...

On September 8–9, 2025, lawyers for Jeffrey Epstein’s estate turned over a leather-bound “birthday book” created for his 50th birthday in 2003 to the House Oversight Committee, complying with a subpoena. The committee then made the material public, including a controversial page featuring a crude sketch of a naked woman, allegedly signed by Donald Trump with the message: “Happy Birthday — and may...

A high-level, closed-door meeting on Jeffrey Epstein was reportedly being organized by Senator JD Vance and others on the Hill, intended to address lingering questions around Epstein’s federal connections, financial enablers, and the failures of law enforcement and intelligence oversight. However, the meeting was abruptly postponed without public explanation, sparking speculation that political pr...

Day one of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, largely centered on prosecutors beginning to construct a timeline of Charlie Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University and establishing the authenticity of the surveillance footage and investigative records they intended to use against Robinson. Former UVU police officer Chris Bagley described the moment the gunshot rang out during Ki...

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.

A traveling exhibit in Dallas is putting roughly three million pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related records on public display while deliberately highlighting Epstein’s past relationship with President Donald Trump. Organizers have named it the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room,” describing the project as both a public archive and a tribute to survivors. The exhibit includes sh...

Former New Mexico Attorney General Gary King’s effort to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein rested heavily on semantics, particularly his insistence that Epstein “wasn’t my friend.” But the documentary record made that explanation look increasingly strained.

The abuse inflicted by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell did not end when individual encounters stopped; for some survivors, it followed them for years in the form of depression, trauma, addiction and self-destructive behavior. Carolyn Andriano, who was only 14 when she entered Epstein’s Palm Beach world and later became a crucial witness against Maxwell, testified that she became addicted to...

Both Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew tried to construct versions of their relationships with Jeffrey Epstein that became increasingly difficult to reconcile with the documentary record. Maxwell repeatedly minimized what she knew about Epstein’s sexual behavior and portrayed herself as someone who had not witnessed the criminal conduct at the center of his operation, even though she was convict...

In the months after Ghislaine Maxwell’s July 2020 arrest, a small but vocal group of commentators argued that she should be released on bail while awaiting trial, despite prosecutors portraying her as an extreme flight risk. That argument found a home on Newsmax, where coverage repeatedly amplified Maxwell’s claims that she was being unfairly treated, that she was entitled to the presumption of in...

Thames Valley Police detectives are reportedly preparing to travel to the United States to interview relatives of Virginia Giuffre as part of their expanding investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Officers are expected to speak with Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, and his wife, Amanda, about her allegations that Andrew sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was a teenager. Andr...

Andrew Windsor is facing another wave of damaging allegations, this time tied to claims from royal biographer Andrew Lownie’s updated book about the House of York. One of the central accusations involves an airline stewardess who allegedly said Andrew behaved inappropriately during a flight, grabbing or spinning her around before grinding against her. The accusation adds to the larger image of And...
