The Vault: The Epstein Files

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...

Former royal protection officer Paul Page said British investigators looking into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had effectively ignored evidence he was trying to provide about Andrew’s conduct at Buckingham Palace, so Page instead took the material to the FBI and also sent it to U.S. Rep. Thomas Massie. Page, who worked as a protection officer at the palace for six years, alleged that from roughly 19...

Independent journalist Tara Palmeri said she was removed from the Republican Midterm Convention in Dallas and had her press credential revoked shortly after she questioned Republican congressional candidate Robert Burke about the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The Boies-Kessler-New York Times episode began when a mysterious man using the name Patrick Kessler approached lawyers David Boies and John Stanley Pottinger claiming he possessed a vast archive of Jeffrey Epstein material, including communications, financial records and thousands of hours of secretly recorded video showing powerful men in compromising sexual situations. Kessler presented blurry s...

Attorney L. Lin Wood made a series of explosive and largely unsubstantiated claims tying Jeffrey Epstein to a broader blackmail operation involving powerful public figures. Wood said he had received information from what he described as a credible confidential source concerning supposed Epstein “blackmail video files,” and he publicly circulated what he claimed was a password or key connected to t...

Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement ran against the grain of how the Justice Department ordinarily handles a wealthy, repeat sexual predator facing serious federal exposure. Federal prosecutors had developed evidence involving dozens of underage girls and had prepared for a potentially substantial federal prosecution, yet instead of indicting Epstein, forcing him to plead to federal c...

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...

Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, had significant connections to the United States Virgin Islands (USVI). Epstein owned a private estate called "Little Saint James" located on the island of Saint Thomas, which he frequently visited. This property gained notoriety as a site where Epstein allegedly engaged in illicit activities involving underage girls. Epstein's prese...

The U.S. Virgin Islands treated Jeffrey Epstein’s flight records as an important piece of the effort to map how his trafficking operation functioned and who moved through it. In its litigation against JPMorgan, the USVI relied on pilot logs, passenger manifests and other aviation records to argue that Epstein regularly transported women and girls to the Virgin Islands and that the available logs w...

From the very beginning of the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, survivors were repeatedly treated as secondary to the reputations, careers and legal interests of the powerful people and institutions surrounding him. In Palm Beach, girls who came forward were subjected to aggressive scrutiny while Epstein received an extraordinarily favorable non-prosecution agreement negotiated in secret. Federal prosecut...

The U.S. Virgin Islands’ lawsuit against JPMorgan was unusually aggressive because it did not merely accuse the bank of missing warning signs around Jeffrey Epstein; it accused JPMorgan of knowingly becoming part of the infrastructure that allowed his trafficking operation to function. The territory alleged that the bank continued serving Epstein for years despite repeated red flags, suspicious ca...

The federal government violated the Crime Victims’ Rights Act by secretly negotiating Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement without consulting the girls and young women he had abused, even though prosecutors had already identified dozens of victims and had drafted a lengthy federal indictment. The CVRA gave victims the right to confer with prosecutors and to be treated fairly, but the U...

Prince Andrew’s transition from working royal to something resembling civilian life has been rough because almost every part of his adult existence was built around the privileges, money and insulation of the monarchy. After the disastrous 2019 Newsnight interview over Jeffrey Epstein and Virginia Giuffre, Andrew stepped back from public duties and gradually lost military affiliations, patronages,...

In July 2025, a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee voted 8–2 to authorize subpoenas for the Department of Justice’s complete cache of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation. The move came just before Congress’s summer recess, following growing public pressure and bipartisan calls for transparency on how Epstein was investigated, who he was connected to, and why...

In the months and years leading up to his death, Robert Maxwell became increasingly distrustful and paranoid, convinced that those closest to him were plotting behind his back. He had his offices secretly wired so he could eavesdrop on his employees and even his own family members, creating an atmosphere of fear within his empire. Once known as a charismatic and domineering media tycoon, Maxwell’s...

Leon Black (1:23-cv-06418-JGLC), the parties have submitted a joint letter regarding a discovery dispute over Defendant Leon Black’s request to quash or modify deposition subpoenas.

The U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) filed a motion opposing JPMorgan Chase's request to dismiss the lawsuit related to Jeffrey Epstein.

The motion asserts that the bank ignored numerous red...
