The Vault: The Epstein Files

A Utah judge is set to decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence to send Tyler Robinson to trial for the aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk, a charge that could make Robinson eligible for the death penalty. The decision follows an unusually lengthy preliminary hearing in which prosecutors spent five days laying out what they described as overwhelming evidence tying Robinson to the S...

Bryan Kohberger’s newest attorney, Jason Goldman, says the immediate focus of the defense is whether Kohberger’s 2025 guilty plea was constitutionally valid and truly entered knowingly and voluntarily. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in exchange for avoiding the death penalty, but he is now seeking post-conviction relief and att...

A newly released Bureau of Prisons document sheds more light on Ghislaine Maxwell’s controversial transfer to a minimum-security federal prison, but it stops short of answering the biggest question surrounding the move: why it happened. Bloomberg reporter Jason Leopold obtained Maxwell’s prison transfer form after a yearlong Freedom of Information Act battle with the Bureau of Prisons. The form co...

Rep. Thomas Massie escalated his push for accountability in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by naming 14 people on the House floor whom he described as Epstein “co-conspirators” who should be investigated and potentially prosecuted.

Jane Doe No. 6 filed suit against Jeffrey Epstein in federal court in South Florida in September 2008, accusing him of sexual assault and battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and coercion and enticement to sexual activity.

Th...

The congressional committee overseeing aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has too often projected disorganization rather than discipline. Hearings have at times devolved into partisan sparring, with members appearing more focused on cable-news soundbites than methodical fact-finding. Lawmakers have publicly contradicted one another about timelines, subpoena strategies, and the scope of r...

The U.S. House Oversight Committee requested testimony from several high-profile figures — including Bill Gates, Kathryn Ruemmler, and Leon Black — as part of its expanding investigation into connections surrounding Jeffrey Epstein.

Attorneys representing media organizations are pushing back against Tyler Robinson’s renewed effort to keep cameras out of the courtroom for the final day of his preliminary hearing on September 1. They argue that Judge Tony Graf has already rejected the defense’s broader objections to electronic media coverage and that Robinson has not shown the kind of specific prejudice necessary to overcome th...

Bryan Kohberger is escalating his effort to undo his guilty plea by asking for Judge Steven Hippler to be removed from his post-conviction case and for the proceedings to be moved out of Ada County. Kohberger’s new court-appointed attorney, Gregory Rauch, argues that Hippler can no longer be viewed as impartial because of the combination of his prior rulings, his rejection of defense claims that K...

Sarah Ferguson is reportedly preparing to return to Britain within days and could give a major television interview addressing the renewed fallout over her past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. According to the report, Ferguson has been considering a sit-down interview as pressure mounts over her relationship with Epstein and questions about what she knew, when she knew it and why she continued to have co...

Ghislaine Maxwell has virtually exhausted the traditional legal avenues available to overturn her 2021 conviction and 20-year sentence. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer recently rejected her latest collateral attack, finding that her constitutional claims were meritless and that the newer material released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act did not exonerate her. According to Engelmayer,...

An unnamed woman who says Jeffrey Epstein flew her to Britain in 2010 for a sexual encounter with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor may now be willing to cooperate with investigators after previously resisting the idea. The woman, who was in her 20s at the time, alleges that she spent the night with Andrew at Royal Lodge in Windsor and was later taken to Buckingham Palace, where she was given tea and a t...

Pam Bondi effectively placed responsibility for the Justice Department’s troubled handling of the Epstein files on Todd Blanche when she testified before House investigators in May 2026. Bondi said she did not personally conduct the document review and repeatedly emphasized that Blanche had been “in charge of the process and the entire release of the Epstein files.” She acknowledged that redaction...

Belarus-born and trained as a dentist, she met Epstein when she was a young woman in New York and remained with him for years, including after his 2008 conviction. Epstein financed much of her education, helped support members of her family and reportedly paid for prope...

The Justice Department’s explanation for Jeffrey Epstein’s death rests on the claim that a sweeping systemic breakdown occurred inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center: guards failed to conduct required rounds, records were falsified, Epstein was left without a cellmate, staffing was inadequate, supervision failed, and surveillance systems were defective. Yet if those failures were truly broad...

A woman identified in the Epstein files as Jane Doe 4 is reportedly “staying off the grid” and living in fear of retaliation from the Trump administration, according to a relative who spoke to The Guardian. Jane Doe 4 gave four FBI interviews in 2019 after Epstein’s arrest, alleging that Epstein abused her in the 1980s and that Donald Trump sexually assaulted her when she was between 13 and 15 yea...

Leon Black appeared before the House Oversight Committee for a closed-door interview about his decades-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but the session escalated when Black refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements involving women.

Tyler Robinson’s defense filed a post-preliminary hearing status report to give Judge Tony Graf a fuller picture of just how enormous and technically complicated discovery has become in the case. The defense says prosecutors have produced 29,237 files across 45 separate discovery batches, up from 19,612 files in March, but stresses that simply receiving the material does not mean it is ready for m...
