Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal enterprise did not survive for decades because he acted alone or possessed some supernatural ability to evade scrutiny.

Newly released Justice Department files show Jeffrey Epstein received extraordinary white-glove treatment from Mount Sinai, turning one of New York’s most prestigious medical systems into yet another elite institution where his money, access, and relationships appeared to open doors that ordinary people would never get near.

Sens. Thom Tillis and John Cornyn faced sharp criticism for supporting Todd Blanche’s nomination after Epstein survivors urged them to oppose it.

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.

Jeffrey Epstein allegedly attempted to use his financial leverage over Sarah Ferguson to pressure her into publicly repairing his reputation after she condemned her association with him. Ferguson had described accepting £15,000 from Epstein as a serious error of judgment, but private communications showed Epstein and his advisers discussing how to make her retract or soften those remarks. Ferguson...

When her father died in 1991 and his financial e...
