The Vault: The Epstein Files

It strains credulity to believe that the world around Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—filled with elite elites in finance, tech, entertainment, and fashion—was completely unaware of what was going on. For example, Ellen Pao, former Reddit CEO and one-time partner at venture firm Kleiner Perkins, publicly stated that Maxwell was invited to a Silicon Valley holiday party in 2011 despite existi...

Money was the lifeblood of Jeffrey Epstein’s operation, and he became exceptionally skilled at making that money difficult to follow. He moved enormous sums through a maze of personal accounts, trusts, limited-liability companies, offshore entities and businesses with vague or shifting purposes, allowing money to be transferred, invested, withdrawn as cash and routed between associates without lea...

Bill and Hillary Clinton have repeatedly described their ties to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell as limited, incidental or primarily connected to philanthropy, but the documentary record has shown a relationship that was broader and more sustained than those descriptions suggest. Bill Clinton acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s plane in 2002 and 2003 for Clinton Foundation-related work, whil...

After Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in December 2021, her legal team moved quickly when Juror 50, Scotty David, revealed in post-trial interviews that he had been sexually abused as a child and had discussed that experience during deliberations. The disclosure raised an immediate problem because the jury questionnaire had specifically asked prospective jurors whether they or close family members...

Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the world of science were not accidental — they were strategic. He courted some of the most brilliant minds at Harvard, MIT, and other elite institutions, presenting himself as a patron of innovation and philanthropy. Epstein used his fortune to endow programs, fund research, and host lavish dinners that mixed Nobel laureates with billionaires. Many of these “men w...

Jeffrey Epstein had a deeply unsettling fascination with transhumanism, a fringe scientific ideology focused on using advanced technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to “improve” or even transcend the human species. For years, Epstein cultivated relationships with prominent scientists, funding research and hosting intellectual salons to promote his own bizarre vision of...

In the now-concluded civil case Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands v. JPMorgan Chase & Co., the USVI sought a partial summary judgment before the case was settled, arguing that the evidence overwhelmingly showed JPMorgan knowingly facilitated Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. The filing claimed that internal emails, compliance reports, and testimony proved the bank ignored repeat...

Hillary Clinton’s February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton’s relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as...

One of the most striking patterns to emerge around Jeffrey Epstein’s social circle was how often people who had spent years around him suddenly claimed not to remember basic details once those relationships came under scrutiny. Former friends, business associates and social contacts repeatedly minimized the depth of their connections, described Epstein as little more than an acquaintance, or said...

As jurors deliberated Ghislaine Maxwell’s fate in December 2021, they repeatedly returned to the trial record and asked Judge Alison Nathan for transcripts of key testimony rather than relying solely on memory. Early in deliberations, they requested the testimony of several accusers, including Jane, Annie and Carolyn, and later asked for transcripts from witnesses who either corroborated parts of...

After Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted in December 2021, her legal team demanded a new trial after Juror 50, Scotty David, revealed in media interviews that he had been sexually abused as a child and had discussed that experience during jury deliberations. The disclosure immediately became a major issue because the juror questionnaire had specifically asked prospective jurors whether they or close...

In the lead-up to Ghislaine Maxwell’s indictment and eventual arrest, a wide range of law enforcement agents representing multiple agencies were brought before the grand jury to lay out the evidentiary foundation of the case. Their testimony reflected a coordinated federal effort that had been building quietly for years, drawing on investigative work from different jurisdictions, timelines, and in...

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...

Day two of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors’ effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot. Investigators introduced additional surveillance footage they said showed Robinson moving around UVU before and after the shooting, while the State also turned to forensic evidence recover...

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan warned acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that he could face civil contempt if the Justice Department failed to comply with the court’s orders in the lawsuit brought by journalist and attorney Katie Phang over the Epstein files. Sullivan gave Blanche until September 24 to satisfy several outstanding requirements, including providing support for disputed victim-...

A Florida woman, Jennifer Percival, pleaded guilty in federal court in New York to falsifying records in order to obtain money from a compensation fund for Jeffrey Epstein victims. Percival had applied to Epstein’s estate-funded victims program in late 2020 and was found ineligible for compensation. Years later, when she applied to a separate $290 million JPMorgan Chase settlement fund for Epstein...

More than a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors praised the House Oversight Committee after it voted 41-0 to recommend holding Leon Black in contempt of Congress for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas seeking his testimony and nondisclosure agreements. The survivors said the unanimous committee vote sent a clear message that wealth and influence should not place anyone beyond congressional scruti...
