The Epstein Chronicles

Jeffrey Epstein’s lawyers mounted a broad attack on the federal investigation, arguing that prosecutors had built their case on unreliable witness accounts, distorted police reports and evidence that the defense said had been taken out of context. They accused investigators of ignoring statements favorable to Epstein, mischaracterizing physical evidence and failing to reconcile later FBI reports w...

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez and state Rep. Meredith Dixon announced two legislative proposals aimed at strengthening protections for human trafficking survivors and closing legal gaps exposed in part by the Jeffrey Epstein case.

Michigan Democrats resurfaced audio from a July 2025 interview in which Republican Michigan Senate candidate Mike Rogers argued that the government should be careful about releasing the names of people who appeared in Jeffrey Epstein’s flight records if there was no evidence they had participated in criminal activity. Rogers said someone could have flown with Epstein for a legitimate business reas...

The Justice Department had been warned well in advance that its rushed handling of the Epstein files could expose victims. In July 2025, Sen. Dick Durbin disclosed information provided by a protected FBI whistleblower alleging that Attorney General Pam Bondi had pushed roughly 1,000 FBI personnel onto around-the-clock shifts to review approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records on an extremely s...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers pointed to her work with Bill Clinton’s philanthropic network as part of their effort to persuade a federal judge to give her a dramatically reduced prison sentence after her December 2021 sex-trafficking conviction. In a 77-page sentencing memorandum filed in June 2022, the defense cited Maxwell’s involvement with the Clinton Global Initiative several times, portraying...

Senator Ron Wyden called on federal regulators to investigate Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and JPMorgan Chase over their handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s financial accounts, alleging that the banks may have failed to identify and report suspicious transactions quickly enough. Wyden’s findings followed a four-year investigation drawing on suspicious activity reports, court records, lawsuits and info...

Calls to “move on” from Jeffrey Epstein are not just tone-deaf—they reek of institutional self-preservation. The push to close the book on one of the most expansive, well-connected child sex trafficking operations in modern history ignores the deep rot that enabled it. Epstein operated for decades with the help of governments, banks, intelligence-linked figures, celebrities, and elite gatekeepers....

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could face a fresh demand to testify before the U.S. House Oversight Committee if Democrats take control of the House in the upcoming midterm elections. Rep.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was transferred from FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania on October 16, 2026, with federal prison officials declining to publicly explain why he was moved.
