The True Crime Tapes

A reporter asked Trump if he’d pardon Ghislaine Maxwell now that the Supreme Court killed her last appeal, and he immediately went into his usual “Who? Never heard of her” routine like he was auditioning for Men in Black. It was pure comedy—he acted like Ghislaine was some random lady who wandered into his photos by accident, not someone who used to orbit the same high-society circles as him and E...

Alan Dershowitz has been pulled deeply into the Epstein scandal not just because of his role as a longtime defense attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, but because of persistent allegations that go far beyond legal representation. As part of Epstein’s legal team, Dershowitz helped negotiate and defend the controversial non-prosecution agreement that allowed Epstein to avoid more severe federal charges, a...

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a class action lawsuit titled Jane Doe 1, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. was filed. The complaint represented not only Jane Doe 1, but a broader group of alleged victims who claimed they suffered harm tied to the actions—and alleged inaction—of JP Morgan Chase &...

Tova Noel, one of the two correctional officers assigned to the Metropolitan Correctional Center’s Special Housing Unit on the night Jeffrey Epstein died, told the House Oversight Committee that she failed to conduct the required inmate checks and later signed records falsely indicating that the rounds had been completed. Noel described an understaffed, poorly managed facility in which she was exh...

Donald Trump has repeatedly compounded his Epstein-related problems not through unavoidable association, but through a pattern of denial, contradiction, and selective amnesia that has unraveled under scrutiny. Publicly, Trump has claimed he barely knew Jeffrey Epstein, that he cut ties early, and that Epstein was never a meaningful part of his world. Yet those claims have been undermined by contem...

In a sworn affidavit filed in 2017, Marie Villafaña, a Department of Justice official, laid out the government’s formal defense of how federal prosecutors handled the Crime Victims’ Rights Act during the Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement. Her core argument was that the CVRA’s notice and participation requirements did not apply because Epstein had not been federally charged at the time the...

Accounts of Howard Lutnick’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein have been marked by shifting explanations that raise questions about consistency and transparency. At various points, Lutnick has downplayed the extent of his interactions, framing them as limited or purely professional, yet other reporting and contextual details suggest a closer or more sustained association than initially acknowledge...

The Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) was supposed to guarantee fairness and transparency for victims—making sure they were informed, included, and respected in the legal process. But when Jeffrey Epstein came along, that promise evaporated. Federal prosecutors secretly cut a Non-Prosecution Agreement that protected not only Epstein but also his “potential co-conspirators,” violating the very law d...

In his October 2009 deposition, taken during the Jeffrey Epstein v. Bradley Edwards defamation lawsuit, longtime Epstein pilot Larry Visoski described his decades of employment under Epstein and the routine nature of his work. Questioned by victims’ attorney Bradley Edwards, Visoski confirmed that he had flown Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and numerous guests—some of them prominent figures—across Ep...

Rupert Lowe’s inquiry says it received evidence from survivors, relatives, whistleblowers, professionals and political figures about organised child sexual exploitation in communities across the United Kingdom. The report describes a recurring pattern in which vulnerable girls were targeted with attention, gifts, alcohol and drugs before being subjected to sexual violence, intimidation and traffic...

The New York Times’ new claim that Jeffrey Epstein attempted suicide at least three times depends heavily on Nicholas Tartaglione, Epstein’s former cellmate and a convicted quadruple murderer with an obvious personal interest in shaping the story. Epstein initially accused Tartaglione of attacking him during the disputed July 23, 2019 incident, so Tartaglione benefits enormously from portraying Ep...

Jeffrey Epstein’s entry into Bear Stearns in the mid-1970s was unusual from the start, as he was hired despite lacking a college degree and having misrepresented his academic background. He began in a junior role but quickly moved into advising wealthy clients and was eventually made a limited partner, a rise aided more by internal relationships than traditional qualifications. Concerns about his...

David Rothkopf argues that Donald Trump’s military confrontations with Venezuela and Iran were not primarily driven by national-security concerns, but by a political need to divert attention from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. The opinion column portrays the operations as “wars of distraction,” claiming the administration repeatedly shifted its stated justifications because neither country presented...
