Day six of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing, held September 1, 2026, centered on closing arguments and the prosecution’s claim that the evidence easily cleared Utah’s probable-cause standard. Deputy Utah County Attorney Ryan McBride argued that the state had built its case through four overlapping categories of evidence: surveillance footage placing Robinson at Utah Valley University, DNA reco...

Prosecutors said they would prefer a January 31, 2028 start but could be ready as early as October 2027, while Robinson’s defense asked the court to treat the third quarter of 202...

The House Judiciary Committee Democratic staff report argues that the publicly released Epstein records, FBI interviews, survivor accounts and congressional investigative material establish more than enough evidence to justify a renewed criminal investigation into Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the broader Epstein network. The 53-page report focuses heavily on the overlapping...

House Judiciary Committee Democrats are calling for the appointment of an independent special counsel to investigate Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, potential Epstein co-conspirators, and what Democrats characterize as a Justice Department effort to obstruct or shut down further investigation. The demand came in a new committee staff report released October 26, which compiled all...

Glenn and Eva Dubin are back in the news, renewing scrutiny of their long-standing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and raising fresh questions about why the couple remained comparatively insulated from the fallout surrounding his network for so many years. Unlike peripheral figures whose names surfaced briefly in contact books or social circles, the Dubins had a much deeper connection to Epstein...

The probable-cause affidavit used to secure Bryan Kohberger’s arrest laid out how investigators connected him to the November 13, 2022 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin through a combination of DNA, surveillance footage, cellphone records and witness testimony. Police said a tan leather knife sheath was found on the bed next to Mogen, and DNA recovered from...

Danny Masterson’s first rape trial ended in a mistrial on November 30, 2022, after a Los Angeles jury said it could not reach unanimous verdicts on any of the three counts against him.

Jurors initially reported that they we...

Bryan Kohberger applied and was given a job with the school district in his hometown. On the resume that he submitted to try and get that job, he might have played a little loose with the truth. According to Kohberger, he was a skilled fish filet maestro and was also a proficient boxer and debate champion. It would seem that he was not truthful here however, considering that he only worked at the...

A potentially significant detail emerged in the early investigation into the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin when a neighbor said the front door of the King Road residence was standing open around 8:30 a.m. on November 13, 2022.

In July 2025, the DOJ and FBI tried to close the book on Jeffrey Epstein by claiming they had found no incriminating client list, no credible blackmail evidence, and nothing that could justify investigations of uncharged third parties. That posture collapsed after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act by overwhelming margins and forced millions of pages into public view. Once those re...

Bill Clinton’s February 27, 2026 testimony before the House Oversight Committee finally forced him to answer under oath about a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein that had generated questions for decades, but the proceeding hardly delivered the kind of exhaustive accounting the public had been promised.
