Ghislaine Maxwell played a central role in Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise by identifying, grooming, and trafficking underage girls—often under the guise of offering them legitimate work or educational opportunities.

Knopf (with Penguin Random House involved in audio and ebook editions). The 400‑page manuscript was completed prior to Giuffre’s death by suicide in April 2025, and she had conve...

The newly surfaced Epstein–Maxwell emails destroy the carefully maintained image that Ghislaine Maxwell was little more than a bystander in Epstein’s orbit. The sheer volume of correspondence—thousands of messages, including more than 200 in the months just before Epstein’s 2008 indictment—shows her still playing an active, managerial role long after she claimed to have distanced herself. These ar...

The Department of Justice’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement is not a story of legal inevitability but one of institutional protection and betrayal. In 2008, prosecutors secretly struck a deal that gave Epstein and his co-conspirators immunity, hiding it from victims in direct violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. When a federal judge confirmed that violation in 2019,...

Judge Emmet Sullivan denied the Justice Department’s request for a partial stay of his September 16 order requiring Todd Blanche, in his official capacity as acting attorney general, to begin reviewing and producing foreign-language materials that could fall under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Rakoff...
