The Epstein Chronicles

In 2021, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York allowed Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew to proceed, rejecting the Duke’s attempts to have the case dismissed. Andrew’s legal team had argued that Giuffre’s 2009 settlement agreement with Jeffrey Epstein protected him from liability, but Kaplan ruled that the document’s language wa...

One of the most glaring omissions in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial was who wasn’t put on the stand. Despite years of public acknowledgment by prosecutors, victims, and even courts that Jeffrey Epstein did not operate alone, none of Epstein’s known or suspected co-conspirators were called to testify. The trial was narrowly structured to focus almost exclusively on Maxwell’s role as a recruiter and fa...

Prince Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein has had a lasting impact on public opinion in the United Kingdom, with polling cited in the coverage indicating that a significant portion of the British public believes he has not been fully transparent about his relationship with Epstein. The findings suggest that roughly one in four Britons think Andrew has withheld key details about what he knew...

The ongoing fight over the Epstein files has exposed a widening fracture inside the MAGA movement, turning what was once a unifying rallying cry about corruption and elite criminality into a loyalty test with shifting rules. Demands for full transparency have collided with political self-preservation, particularly as questions arise that intersect uncomfortably with Donald Trump and his allies. As...

Ghislaine Maxwell was accused in earlier civil proceedings of evading questioning by giving what were described as misleading or obstructive answers, including claiming she could not participate fully because she needed to care for her seriously ill mother. According to the account, this explanation was used to delay or avoid providing direct responses during a sex trafficking lawsuit tied to Jeff...

A bipartisan effort in the United States House of Representatives is on the cusp of forcing a vote to release previously withheld government records connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The mechanism is a discharge petition—which, once it receives 218 signatures, compels the House Speaker to schedule the vote. With the planned swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.)...

In a videotaped deposition taken in April 2016, Maxwell was questioned under oath about Giuffre’s allegations of being groomed and trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell—allegations that she vehemently denied, calling Giuffre an “absolute liar” and asserting she had no involvement in recruiting or abusing her. Maxwell repeatedly refused to answer questions about alleged sexual activity with minors—labe...

Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team mounted repeated efforts to secure her release on bail ahead of trial, arguing that the conditions of her confinement in a New York detention facility were excessively harsh and unjustified. In court filings, her attorney, Bobbi Sternheim, described the environment as “reprehensible and utterly inappropriate,” emphasizing that Maxwell had been held for an extended pe...

Ann Coulter has repeatedly gone after Donald Trump for what she calls his “swamp-like” silence on the Jeffrey Epstein files. In an interview with The Spectator, she gave Trump a “9 out of 10” for his presidency but docked him a point for refusing to release the Epstein records—implying that he may be shielding wealthy donors or allies. She argued that the refusal to unseal those files reeks of pol...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly informed congressional Republicans that the files tied to Jeffrey Epstein are “even worse” for Donald Trump than previously publicized, suggesting that evidence of Trump’s connection to Epstein is more extensive and potentially more damaging than past reporting indicated. The leaks reflect mounting anxiety among GOP lawmakers, some of whom are reportedly...

Focusing the entire Jeffrey Epstein scandal on Donald Trump is a trap because it narrows a sprawling, decades-long criminal conspiracy into a single political talking point. Epstein’s network reached across party lines, continents, and industries—Wall Street, academia, Silicon Valley, Hollywood, royal families, and multiple presidential administrations. Reducing that to “Trump and Epstein” not onl...

Ghislaine Maxwell has given at least two notable interviews or testimony sessions while incarcerated, each stirring sharp debate over her motive and trustworthiness. In a televised prison interview, she expressed regret that she “wished she never met” Jeffrey Epstein, and insinuated that some widely circulated photographs involving her and others—especially the one with Prince Andrew and Virginia...

In the early 2000s, while serving in an official capacity as the UK’s Trade Envoy, Prince Andrew travelled to Thailand for what was publicly described as a diplomatic mission. According to historian Andrew Lownie, the visit included a stay in a five-star Bangkok hotel rather than at the British embassy, and during what was designated “private time” in the official itinerary he is alleged to have h...
