The Epstein Chronicles

David Rothkopf argues that Donald Trump’s military confrontations with Venezuela and Iran were not primarily driven by national-security concerns, but by a political need to divert attention from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The opinion column portrays the operations as “wars of distraction,” claiming the administration repeatedly shifted its stated justifications because neither country presented...

The New York Times’ new claim that Jeffrey Epstein attempted suicide at least three times depends heavily on Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein’s former cellmate and a convicted quadruple murderer with an obvious personal interest in shaping the story. Epstein initially accused Tartaglione of attacking him during the disputed July 23, 2019 incident, so Tartaglione benefits enormously from portraying Ep...

The royal household’s repeated posture of surprise became harder to sustain as evidence accumulated showing that Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was neither fleeting nor hidden from the machinery surrounding him. Epstein and members of his circle were entertained in royal residences, Andrew traveled with people connected to Epstein while carrying out official duties, and palace s...

Jeffrey Epstein’s access to the White House began during Bill Clinton’s first administration, when he moved through Washington as a wealthy donor and well-connected financial operator rather than as the notorious sex offender he would later become. Records show that Epstein visited the Clinton White House repeatedly during the 1990s, attended a reception with Ghislaine Maxwell and cultivated relat...

The Justice Department disregarded the Crime Victims’ Rights Act by secretly negotiating Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement without consulting the girls and young women its own investigators had identified as victims. Federal prosecutors not only failed to tell them that Epstein was bargaining his way out of federal charges, but continued sending communications suggesting that the in...

The situation unfolding in Congress around the Jeffrey Epstein scandal reflects a growing gap between public promises of accountability and the reality of political hesitation. While lawmakers have spent years signaling outrage and pledging to expose the full scope of Epstein’s network, key members are now backing away from supporting actions—like subpoenas—that would actually force testimony and...

Prince Andrew has been under the microscope ever since the true nature of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein came to light and in today's episode, we hear from one of Prince Andrew's old pal's about how he changed when he started hanging around Jeffrey Epstein and we also hear about how he started bring his own "massage" mattress with him on trips.

The Department of Justice has formally requested a sit-down with Ghislaine Maxwell, signaling a potential shift in how seriously they’re now taking the unresolved depths of the Epstein operation. This is the first time DOJ leadership has openly moved to solicit Maxwell’s cooperation since her conviction. The request reportedly comes from the upper levels of DOJ, suggesting that they may be trying...

The bipartisan support for a contempt vote against the Clintons was not a sudden outbreak of moral clarity in Washington, but a calculated strategic move. Democrats understand that precedent is everything, and by allowing scrutiny of figures within their own party, they are laying the groundwork to pursue Donald Trump once he is out of office. Sacrificing the old guard sends a message that no one...

Sarah Kellen told Congress that she was not a willing architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s operation but one of his victims, claiming Epstein groomed, abused, isolated, and controlled her for years. She described herself as trapped inside his world through sexual, psychological, and emotional coercion, and said Epstein continued to exert power over her even while he was incarcerated. That testimony matt...

Democratic Representatives Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia toured Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas, where Ghislaine Maxwell is serving her 20-year sentence, and came away questioning why a convicted sex trafficker was placed in such a lightly restricted setting. Garcia described the minimum-security facility as resembling a “park-like community college,” complete with fountains, trees and broad f...

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...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly been left feeling increasingly isolated after being excluded entirely from this year’s Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. Andrew had participated in the event in previous years and attended its private pre-ceremony lunch as recently as last year, but his removal from the order meant he was absent from every part of the 2026 observance. A sourc...

Jeffrey Epstein’s Boeing 727 became one of the most notorious symbols of his operation because it allegedly served as far more than transportation between his properties in New York, Florida, New Mexico, Paris and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Survivors and court records described girls and young women being moved aboard Epstein’s aircraft as part of the trafficking system, while Virginia Giuffre alleg...

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal was never confined to Palm Beach, Manhattan or the American political and financial establishment. His network stretched across the Atlantic through homes, social circles and business relationships in Britain and continental Europe, including his Paris residence and his close association with French modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel. Brunel was accused by numerous women of...

William Barr assumed an unusually personal role in managing the federal government’s response to Jeffrey Epstein’s death. After initially declaring himself “appalled” and promising investigations into the serious irregularities at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, Barr personally questioned Efrain “Stone” Reyes, the final inmate assigned to share Epstein’s cell before Reyes was transferred awa...

Newly uncovered details draw a direct line between Jeffrey Epstein’s New Mexico ranch and some of the most sensitive U.S. nuclear research sites, including Los Alamos and Sandia National Laboratories. The ranch was reportedly outfitted with advanced communications infrastructure, including a microwave transmission system capable of sending and receiving data across long distances. Its positioning—...

New Mexico authorities have reopened scrutiny into Zorro Ranch, Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling property near Santa Fe, as investigators for the first time search the site for potential evidence of abuse. The renewed probe is being driven by a state “truth commission,” formed to examine how Epstein was able to operate in the state despite longstanding allegations. The ranch—long suspected by accusers...

A new investigation reported that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein covertly rented at least six storage units across the United States from as early as 2003 up until his death in 2019, allegedly using them to stash computers, CDs, photographs, and other materials linked to his homes and his private island Little Saint James. Financial records and emails reviewed by The Telegraph indicate Eps...

Les Wexner has stated publicly that he was never interviewed, subpoenaed, or formally questioned by the FBI or the Department of Justice in connection with the federal investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. According to Wexner, despite being Epstein’s most prominent financial patron for years and granting him sweeping authority over portions of his personal fortune, no federal agents ever sat him do...

New reporting presents Nicholas Tartaglione’s account as evidence that Jeffrey Epstein had repeatedly attempted to take his own life before his death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Tartaglione claims Epstein asked how to make a noose, tried to fasten a bedsheet to a window grate, concealed another noose beneath his mattress and left behind a handwritten message referring to choosing the...

A group of Jeffrey Epstein survivors and relatives of the late Virginia Giuffre met privately with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and urged him to pursue allegations contained in the Justice Department’s own Epstein files. The group challenged acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s position that investigators had exhausted all meaningful leads, presenting Comer with specific docume...
