Davis said Robinson arrived at the Washington County S...

Jes Staley asked Judge Jed Rakoff to exclude expert testimony JPMorgan planned to use against him in the litigation stemming from the bank’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. JPMorgan had brought third-party claims against its former executive, arguing that Staley should bear responsibility for some or all of the bank’s potential liability because of his close relationship with Epstein and his ro...

Sky and Amanda Roberts, the brother and sister-in-law of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, publicly criticized Republican Rep. Jeff Crank of Colorado for repeatedly declining to meet with them about the Epstein files and reforms aimed at helping survivors of trafficking and sexual abuse. The couple, who live in Crank’s district, said they met with his staff in September 2025 after traveling to Washington...

In a two-page filing in Phang v. Blanche, Attorney General Todd Blanche notified Judge Emmet Sullivan that the Justice Department had complied with the court’s order requiring it to provide certain Epstein-related materials for in camera review. DOJ said it hand-delivered the documents to the judge’s chambers on September 24, 2026, after the court directed the government to substantiate some of it...

British whistleblower Simon Andriesz, a 57-year-old former Wall Street banker, was found dead in Thailand months after publicly raising allegations about Jeffrey Epstein’s financial and business connections to powerful figures. According to The Sun, Andriesz had highlighted a 2018 email exchange in which Epstein and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick discussed an investment involving Adfin, ma...

Jeffrey Epstein’s private calendars revealed just how successfully he rebuilt and maintained access to powerful people after his 2008 Florida conviction. The schedules contained planned meetings, lunches, dinners and appointments involving figures from government, finance, academia, technology and international politics, including former CIA director William Burns, former Obama White House counsel...

Elite universities that accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein, or maintained financial relationships touched by his network, faced intense blowback once the extent of those connections became public. Harvard was one of the clearest examples: its own review found that Epstein donated roughly $9.2 million between 1998 and 2007, including $736,000 after his 2006 arrest and a $6.5 million gift that crea...

Jeffrey Epstein developed a close social friendship with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn years after Epstein had already become a registered sex offender, and newly released records show the relationship was far more extensive than an occasional dinner. Epstein’s calendars and emails documented frequent meals, private screenings, gifts, social gatherings and travel involving Allen and Previn, with...

During Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 trial, a woman identified only as “Jane” testified that Maxwell helped draw her into Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit when she was just 14 years old and then participated in the process that normalized and facilitated her sexual abuse. Jane said she met Epstein and Maxwell at the Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan in 1994, only months after her father died of leukemia and her...

Geraldo Rivera publicly defended Ghislaine Maxwell after her July 2020 arrest, arguing that she should have been granted bail while awaiting trial rather than held in federal detention. After U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan denied Maxwell’s release, finding that her wealth, foreign connections and access to multiple countries made her an extreme flight risk, Rivera blasted the decision and said...

Darren Indyke’s March 19, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee offered one of the clearest looks yet at how Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime lawyer described his own role inside Epstein’s operation. Indyke, who represented Epstein for roughly two decades, participated at least loosely in his Florida defense team, assisted with his sex-offender registration litigation, handled real-estate...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s American citizenship could potentially be challenged under federal denaturalization law, not simply because she was later convicted of serious crimes, but because some of the conduct underlying those convictions occurred before she became a U.S. citizen in 2002. Under 8 U.S.C. §1451, citizenship can be revoked if it was illegally procured or obtained through concealment of a ma...

The Jeffrey Epstein story has always been defined as much by failures of accountability as by the crimes themselves. In Florida, investigators developed extensive evidence that Epstein had sexually abused underage girls, yet the federal investigation ended with an extraordinary 2007 non-prosecution agreement that allowed him to avoid federal charges, protected unnamed potential co-conspirators and...

Jeffrey Epstein built a deliberately complicated financial structure that allowed him to move enormous sums of money through trusts, corporations, limited-liability companies and accounts tied to the U.S. Virgin Islands, where he claimed residency and received substantial tax advantages. Court filings from the Virgin Islands alleged that Epstein regularly created new entities, shifted properties a...

Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion at 358 El Brillo Way, one of the most notorious properties associated with his abuse, was sold by his estate after his death and then completely demolished. Epstein had purchased the roughly 14,000-square-foot waterfront home in 1990, and it later became central to the original Palm Beach investigation after police searched the property in 2005. Following Epste...

Seth Lloyd, an MIT professor and quantum computing specialist, came under fire for his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after it emerged that he accepted both direct and indirect funding from Epstein—even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor. Lloyd met with Epstein multiple times, gave him personal tours of MIT’s facilities, and later admitted he had accepted two donations total...

Jeffrey Epstein had extensive ties to the academic community. His reach spanned across the country when it came to donating to professors. From the deserts of Arizona to the Pacific Coast and everywhere in between, proffesors and universities accepted his patronage. None of these institutions had the relationship with Epstein that Harvard had however. Today we take a look at that relationship. To...

That encounter led authorities back to the Horsch residence, where investigators uncovered an enormous digital archive created largely by Eugene’s l...
