The Epstein Chronicles

The Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement was always a disgrace, but the unsealed Epstein files rip away the last remaining excuses and expose it for what it truly was: a calculated surrender by federal prosecutors dressed up as discretion. The NPA didn’t just give Epstein a sweetheart deal, it rewrote the rules of accountability to benefit one man and the powerful people around him. By secret...

In a recently disclosed video from the massive DOJ release under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is shown in a sit-down interview with former Trump strategist Steve Bannon, during which he directly labels himself a “Tier One” sexual predator. When pressed about what that means, Epstein bizarrely insists that “Tier One” is the lowest level of such categori...

Recent reports in U.S. media and on social platforms surfaced in late January 2026 alleging that TikTok users were experiencing censorship related to the name “Epstein” and other politically sensitive topics. Thousands of users claimed that direct messages containing the word “Epstein” were being blocked or flagged as violations of community guidelines, and some said videos mentioning the Epstein...

The nearly six-hour congressional interview focused on why Bill Gates continued meeting with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein's 2008 conviction, what Gates knew about Epstein's conduct, and whether Epstein attempted to gain leverage over him. Gates testified that he met Epstein roughly 12 to 14 times between 2011 and 2014, saying he believed Epstein could help attract major philanthropic donations to...

Warren Buffett has reportedly paused his usual mid-year donation to the Gates Foundation while he waits for the results of an outside review into the foundation’s past ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Buffett has given more than $47 billion in Berkshire Hathaway stock to the foundation over the years, making him one of its most important donors, but renewed scrutiny of Bill Gates’ relationship with Epstei...

Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, reportedly visited Jeffrey Epstein twice in 2009 while he was serving his Florida jail sentence for soliciting a minor for prostitution. The visits allegedly took place at the Palm Beach office Epstein used during his controversial work-release arrangement, which allowed him to leave jail for hours each day. Emails released by the Justice Department and reporte...

Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, was questioned by House Oversight lawmakers about Epstein’s use of American Express to book travel for multiple women or girls. CBS reported that Epstein used Amex’s Centurion travel service and a Black Card to arrange hundreds of itineraries, many involving women or girls from Eastern Europe, and that Groff was a key point of contact in those bo...

Josh Harris saw the Epstein revelations around Leon Black as an opening to reshape Apollo’s leadership and, according to reporting and later court allegations, pushed to position himself as the natural successor or power center inside the firm. Black’s Epstein relationship had thrown Apollo into crisis, investors were demanding answers, and the firm needed a clean leadership story. Harris had long...

Denise George tried to attack Jeffrey Epstein’s operation through the money trail, not just the sex-abuse allegations, by using the U.S. Virgin Islands’ civil enforcement power to subpoena banks and financial institutions that handled Epstein’s accounts, entities, trusts, charities, and shell companies. Her office sought records from major institutions including JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, Citi...

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Leon Black detonated inside Apollo Global Management because Black was not just any executive — he was Apollo’s co-founder, chairman, and public face. Once it became clear that Black had paid Epstein enormous sums after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, Apollo had a reputational crisis on its hands. The firm launched an independent review through its board’s conflicts...

Eileen Guggenheim, a former aide to then-Prince Charles and now leading the New York Academy of Art, emphatically denied any role in facilitating an introduction between Charles and Jeffrey Epstein. Her statement came in response to recurring tabloid insinuations suggesting that she had served as the conduit linking the future king to the disgraced financier. Her denial was swift and pointed: simp...

Recent revelations from Jeffrey Epstein’s files have reignited scrutiny of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor’s relationship with the disgraced financier, including new details surrounding a Russian woman that Epstein allegedly offered to set him up with. Newly released emails show that Epstein described this woman — identified in some reports as a model — as “beautiful” and “trustworthy” and proposed int...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appeared for a closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee as part of its ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his network of associates. Lawmakers questioned her about what she knew regarding Epstein’s activities, his connections to prominent political and philanthropic circles, and whether she had any direct knowledge of his con...

The backlash against Dr. Peter Attia has been swift and unforgiving since newly released documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files revealed an extensive and friendly correspondence between the celebrity longevity doctor and the convicted sex offender — including over 1,700 mentions of Attia in the trove — complete with casual and crude exchanges that reflected an ongoing relationship well after Eps...

Karyna Shuliak, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime girlfriend and one of the last people known to have spoken with him before his death, was licensed as a dentist in New Mexico, adding another strange thread to Epstein’s Zorro Ranch story. Shuliak was born in Belarus, studied dentistry, and later became connected to Epstein after being introduced through Eastern European contacts. Epstein helped fund her...

Leon Black was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee in the middle of his closed-door testimony about Jeffrey Epstein after he refused to answer questions about possible non-disclosure agreements involving women connected to Epstein. Chairman James Comer said lawmakers wanted the NDAs to determine whether Epstein was involved in writing them, arranging them, funding them, or using them to si...

The extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse turned out to be far larger than the early public version of the case suggested. At first, the story was often framed around a limited number of victims in Palm Beach and a wealthy sex offender who had somehow received an absurdly lenient plea deal. But as survivors came forward, lawsuits were filed, flight logs were examined, police records resurfaced, and fe...

Les Wexner was one of the most important people in Jeffrey Epstein’s rise, yet for years he managed to remain far less publicly radioactive than figures like Ghislaine Maxwell, Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, or Leon Black. Wexner gave Epstein extraordinary access, trusted him with financial power, and allowed him into the center of his personal and business world, including through power of attorney...

Melanie Walker is a physician and neuroscience/global-health figure who worked in Bill Gates’ orbit while also having long-running ties to Jeffrey Epstein. She joined the Gates Foundation in 2006 as a senior program officer and later remained connected to Gates through consulting work and health-related proposals. Reporting from The Wall Street Journal described her as a confidante to both Gates a...

The DOJ’s so-called “list” is being framed as transparency, but it reads like controlled optics rather than a serious accounting of Jeffrey Epstein’s network. A genuine disclosure would distinguish between casual mentions and operational roles, provide context, explain methodology, and prioritize the people who facilitated recruitment, logistics, finances, and legal shielding. Instead, the documen...

Ghislaine Maxwell appeared for a congressional deposition today and immediately invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refusing to answer substantive questions from lawmakers. According to members of Congress, Maxwell delivered a brief, prepared statement at the outset and then systematically declined to respond to questions about Jeffrey Epstein’s operations, potential co-c...
