The Epstein Chronicles

In a sworn interview with DOJ Office of Inspector General investigators conducted on June 14, 2021, an unnamed lieutenant and former correctional officer from MCC New York was questioned as part of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s death and the broader security failures surrounding his incarceration. The interview began with investigators explicitly stating that the probe focused not only...

Bill Barr’s deposition before Congress on Jeffrey Epstein was a masterclass in calculated deflection. While Barr insisted that Epstein’s death was “absolutely” suicide, he conceded that the prison surveillance system had “blind spots”—a detail that conveniently leaves just enough room for speculation without providing definitive answers. His reliance on flawed or incomplete camera footage, combine...

A new lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court accuses billionaire investor Leon Black — co-founder of Apollo Global Management — of conspiring with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former law firm chairman Brad Karp to target, intimidate, and “silence and destroy” women who accused Black of sexual abuse. According to the suit by Wigdor LLP, internal emails from the recent Department of J...

The Department of Justice’s handling of Jeffrey Epstein’s non-prosecution agreement is not a story of legal inevitability but one of institutional protection and betrayal. In 2008, prosecutors secretly struck a deal that gave Epstein and his co-conspirators immunity, hiding it from victims in direct violation of the Crime Victims’ Rights Act. When a federal judge confirmed that violation in 2019,...

In late February 2026, dozens of survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and their supporters gathered for a demonstration at the former Zorro Ranch, the sprawling New Mexico property once owned by Epstein, to demand action and transparency from authorities. The demonstrators, many identifying themselves as victims or allies of survivors, stood outside the ranch grounds and held signs and chants call...

Paolo Zampolli is presented as a key figure in the Trump-Melania-Epstein timeline because he says he introduced Melania to Donald Trump in 1998 and insists Jeffrey Epstein had nothing to do with it. Zampolli ran ID Models, helped bring Melania into the U.S. modeling world, and later became closely tied to Trump socially and politically. His account matters because Epstein’s files and related repor...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is now facing a broadened police inquiry in Britain that goes beyond the original misconduct-in-public-office allegation tied to his former role as a UK trade envoy. Thames Valley Police are reportedly examining possible sexual misconduct, corruption, fraud, dishonesty, abuse of power, and dereliction of duty as part of a widening investigation connected to his long rela...

Sarah Kellen’s closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee is being described by Chairman James Comer as the most substantive and productive testimony the committee has received so far in its Epstein probe. Kellen, one of the four women named as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, reportedly gave lawmakers three new names of people she said were inv...

The British government says it has found no evidence that formal security vetting or due diligence was carried out before Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was appointed as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment in 2001. Newly released historical documents show that Queen Elizabeth II was “very keen” for Andrew to have a prominent role promoting Britain’s interests, and of...

Leon Black’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein extended well beyond conventional financial advising and into deeply personal territory that raises serious questions about the nature of their association. Epstein was not only handling tax and estate matters for Black, but also acting as an intermediary in arranging and directing large payments to multiple women, some of whom had personal or sexual...

Maritza Vazquez, who worked as a bookkeeper for MC2 Model Management, provided critical testimony placing Jean‑Luc Brunel and Jeffrey Epstein at the center of a carefully managed system of underage recruitment and abuse. In her deposition, she identified Brunel as a regular passenger on Epstein’s private jet and noted that Epstein often traveled with girls recruited through MC2—some as young as 14...

The congressional committee overseeing aspects of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has too often projected disorganization rather than discipline. Hearings have at times devolved into partisan sparring, with members appearing more focused on cable-news soundbites than methodical fact-finding. Lawmakers have publicly contradicted one another about timelines, subpoena strategies, and the scope of r...

Stacey Plaskett has been exposed in newly released emails showing she was actively messaging Jeffrey Epstein during a congressional hearing, a revelation that detonated her carefully crafted public image as a defender of justice. Despite long-standing knowledge of Epstein’s reputation as a trafficker and blackmail broker for the powerful, Plaskett not only took his money, but fought to keep it unt...

Jeffrey Epstein repeatedly targeted Brazil as a recruitment ground for young women and underage girls, using modeling opportunities, travel, luxury gifts, salon appointments, and the promise of access to fashion-world connections as bait. The Miami Herald’s review of newly released DOJ Epstein files describes a pipeline involving model scouts, including Epstein’s longtime associate Jean-Luc Brunel...

New Mexico’s Epstein Truth Commission is set to hold its first public meeting on June 1 as it begins investigating allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, the sprawling New Mexico property that has remained one of the most under-examined parts of the Epstein story. The bipartisan commission includes four lawmakers and a legal team with subpoena power, and its mandate is to determine whe...
