The Epstein Chronicles

Frederic Fekkai, the celebrity hairstylist and luxury brand mogul, was named in court documents by Virginia Roberts Giuffre as one of the individuals to whom Jeffrey Epstein allegedly trafficked her for sex. Giuffre’s sworn testimony placed Fekkai among a group of elite men who, according to her account, participated in Epstein’s trafficking ring by engaging in sexual acts with her while she was u...

Kristin Roman, a medical examiner with the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner, participated in the forensic review of Jeffrey Epstein’s death and helped document the physical findings observed during the autopsy. The report detailed the injuries identified on Epstein’s body, including ligature marks around the neck and fractures to structures in the neck consistent with hanging. Roman...

The document is a sworn OIG interview transcript from June 15, 2021, involving the Bureau of Prisons captain who oversaw security operations at MCC New York during the period surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him...

Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a former newspaper reporter and bestselling novelist who has spent recent years investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, says she has left her home and is preparing to leave the United States after what she claims were “directed energy weapon” attacks connected to her Epstein reporting. She has alleged that her work on Zorro Ranch, local cover-up claims, a...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are being portrayed as a scandal-bound royal duo whose relationship long outlived their marriage because it benefited both of them. Royal author Andrew Lownie describes them as the royal family’s “Bonnie and Clyde,” arguing that their post-divorce bond was built around mutual loyalty, shared self-interest, financial survival, and the preservation of st...

Donald Trump has refiled a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over its reporting on his alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein, specifically an article describing a birthday card to Epstein as bearing Trump’s signature. The new filing came after a federal judge threw out Trump’s earlier complaint in April, ruling that it failed to meet the “actual malice” standard required in...

Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen’s summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to hou...

Ian Maxwell’s BBC interview was controversial because it gave Ghislaine Maxwell’s brother a national platform immediately after her conviction to argue that she remained innocent, that the case against her was flawed, and that her defense had been crippled by the conditions of her confinement before trial. He portrayed the appeal as centered on claims that she had been unable to properly prepare,...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Woody Allen was not some passing handshake or random name in an address book. Public reporting and released records have described Allen and Soon-Yi Previn as longtime friends and neighbors of Epstein in New York, with the three dining together often and maintaining contact even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Newly released emails added more texture to that re...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with the Dubin family was strange because it did not fit the normal pattern of someone being socially exiled after a sex-crime conviction. Eva Andersson-Dubin dated Epstein for roughly a decade before marrying hedge-fund billionaire Glenn Dubin, and Epstein remained close enough to the family that he reportedly described himself as having introduced Eva and Glenn. Ev...

Bill Mersey was incarcerated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center and housed in proximity to Jeffrey Epstein in the weeks leading up to Epstein’s death. In post-death interviews, Mersey stated that Epstein did not appear suicidal and seemed focused on fighting his case, discussing legal strategy and future developments rather than despair. Mersey described Epstein as alert, engaged, and concern...

Judicial Watch’s Epstein-related lawsuit is primarily a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) action filed against the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in late 2025, seeking the release of government records related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein that the group says have been improperly withheld from the public. The suit, Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-04123)...

Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous birthday book has now revealed not only signatures from presidents, princes, and billionaires but also grotesque illustrations that mockingly depict his crimes. Among them are a cartoon of Epstein handing balloons to little girls and another showing him sprawled on the “Lolita Express” getting a topless massage, one woman literally marked with his initials. These weren’t...

A newly released batch of Justice Department documents revealed troubling details about the conduct of Tova Noel, one of the correctional officers assigned to monitor Jeffrey Epstein at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan the night he died in August 2019. According to the records, Noel searched Google for “latest on Epstein in jail” twice—at 5:42 a.m. and 5:52 a.m., less than forty m...

The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him...

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. The records describe Epstein arranging medical care not only for himself,...

Jeffrey Epstein’s reach extended far beyond New York, Palm Beach, and the familiar circles of American finance and politics. Newly surfaced records show him probing for influence and opportunity across Latin America and the Caribbean, including Venezuela and Cuba, where he appeared to position himself as a connector for businessmen, political insiders, and power brokers operating in difficult, sen...

The column argues that Thomas Massie’s primary defeat is not just a political loss but the symbolic collapse of what it calls the “Epstein Era,” meaning the period when Epstein-related transparency demands, online speculation, anti-establishment anger, and accusations about hidden networks became central to parts of Republican politics. Its basic claim is that Massie helped drag the party into a c...

Jeffrey Epstein’s money trail was never just about bank balances; it was about architecture. He operated through a maze of offshore and low-tax jurisdictions that gave him secrecy, flexibility, tax advantages, and distance from ordinary scrutiny. Bermuda shows up clearly in the Paradise Papers reporting through Liquid Funding Ltd., a Bermuda-registered company Epstein chaired from roughly 2000 to...

Alex Acosta had a choice. As the U.S. Attorney in South Florida, he was not some powerless clerk handed a file and told to stamp it. He was the federal official whose office had reviewed evidence that Jeffrey Epstein’s conduct could support a serious federal sex-trafficking prosecution. Instead of forcing the case into open federal court, Acosta’s office approved a secretive non-prosecution agreem...

For close to four decades, Jeffrey Epstein was treated less like a target of the full weight of federal law enforcement and more like a problem the system kept managing, minimizing, delaying, or quietly passing along. From the early warning signs around his access to young girls, to the Palm Beach investigation, to the federal review that could have produced a sweeping sex-trafficking case, the pa...

In its letter to Judge Paul Engelmayer, the Department of Justice argued aggressively against the appointment of a special master, framing the request as unnecessary, disruptive, and legally unjustified. DOJ claimed it was already fulfilling its obligations to review, process, and release Epstein-related materials in accordance with court orders, established procedures, and internal safeguards. Th...

Christina Oxenberg, a former acquaintance of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and a second cousin of Prince Andrew, told NewsNation that Epstein’s “little black book” was not just some random social directory, but a window into the kind of world Epstein moved through: royalty, billionaires, politicians, celebrities, financiers, and social climbers orbiting a man who had somehow embedded himse...

The FBI FD-302 interview report documents an accuser describing an encounter involving Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump that allegedly occurred when she was a minor. In the report, the accuser told investigators that she had been recruited into Epstein’s orbit through the same pattern repeatedly described by other complainants: she was approached as a teenager, offered money or opportunities, and...
