The Epstein Chronicles

British investigators were continuing to expand their examination of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein by reaching out to current and former royal protection officers who may have witnessed relevant conduct while assigned to him. The Metropolitan Police said officers were being asked to consider whether anything they “saw or heard” during their service could assist ong...

In his August 2021 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Bill Gates described his association with Jeffrey Epstein as a serious mistake and said the relationship grew out of Epstein’s claims that he could help raise enormous sums of money for global-health philanthropy. Gates said he had “several dinners” with Epstein after first meeting him in 2011, despite Epstein already having been convicted o...

Jeffrey Epstein’s empire was not only built on money and connections but on silence. Alongside Jean-Luc Brunel, he deliberately targeted vulnerable girls from Eastern Europe and South America, knowing cultural shame, disbelief, and poverty would keep them voiceless. Promised modeling careers, housekeeping jobs, or education, these young women instead found themselves trapped, their passports taken...

Palm Beach Police Detective Michelle Pagan’s interview with the 14-year-old girl who became the first known complainant in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation provided the account that effectively opened the case. The teenager told Pagan that an older girl had offered her an easy way to make a few hundred dollars by giving a massage to a wealthy man in Palm Beach. She was taken to Epstein’s mansion,...

Jeffrey Epstein had a deeply unsettling fascination with transhumanism, a fringe scientific ideology focused on using advanced technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to “improve” or even transcend the human species. For years, Epstein cultivated relationships with prominent scientists, funding research and hosting intellectual salons to promote his own bizarre vision of...

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the world of science were not accidental — they were strategic. He courted some of the most brilliant minds at Harvard, MIT, and other elite institutions, presenting himself as a patron of innovation and philanthropy. Epstein used his fortune to endow programs, fund research, and host lavish dinners that mixed Nobel laureates with billionaires. Many of these “men w...

Charlie Kirk’s family took the first formal step toward a wrongful-death lawsuit against Utah officials, alleging that a series of security failures at Utah Valley University left him vulnerable to the rooftop gunman who killed him on September 10, 2025. The notice of claim, filed by Kirk’s widow Erika and his parents, accused UVU, its former president Astrid Tuminez, campus police chief Jeffrey L...

North Idaho investigators said they were “deeply troubled” after true-crime content creators claimed they had obtained unredacted crime-scene photographs showing the bodies and wounds of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin and were preparing to publish them online. A YouTube creator from the BronxTails True Crime channel said she had access to unredacted images and sugg...

Hillary Clinton’s February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton’s relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as...

The House Oversight Committee voted unanimously, 41-0, to recommend that billionaire financier Leon Black be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas issued as part of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Chairman James Comer said Black’s testimony was important because of his long relationship with Epstein during the period when Epstein was engaged in sex trafficking...

The congressional depositions of Bill and Hillary Clinton expose a broader problem with the House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein: lawmakers appear to apply different levels of scrutiny depending on the political identity of the witness. Democratic members repeatedly characterize the Clinton depositions as political theater and spend significant portions of their public messaging attacking Repu...

Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking operation was not built like a traditional street-level sex-trafficking ring focused on volume and direct profit. It was a targeted exploitation network designed around access, influence, leverage, and elite protection. Epstein allegedly used vulnerable girls and young women as currency inside a world of wealthy and powerful people, where secrecy and proximity mattere...

Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old aspiring model from Uzbekistan when she came to the United States in 2009 and became financially indebted to MC2 Model Management for her visa and housing. She was offered weekend administrative work at Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida Science Foundation office in West Palm Beach while Epstein was supposedly serving his jail sentence under an extraordinarily permissive work...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense planned to deal with the prosecution’s expert witnesses by attacking both their admissibility and the assumptions behind their opinions, while bringing in its own experts to give jurors competing explanations. The government’s most important expert was psychologist Dr. Lisa Rocchio, who was prepared to explain grooming, delayed disclosure, secrecy, trauma and the way an...

In October 2021, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Donald Hafele indicated that he was inclined to release the secret transcripts from the 2006 grand jury investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, records that could help explain how an investigation involving numerous teenage girls ultimately produced only a single felony solicitation charge. The Palm Beach Post had sued for access after its investigation r...

In the months and years leading up to his death, Robert Maxwell became increasingly distrustful and paranoid, convinced that those closest to him were plotting behind his back. He had his offices secretly wired so he could eavesdrop on his employees and even his own family members, creating an atmosphere of fear within his empire. Once known as a charismatic and domineering media tycoon, Maxwell’s...

A former inmate who spent hours with Jeffrey Epstein while Epstein was under suicide watch at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center said he believed Epstein killed himself and rejected the idea that he was murdered.
