Jeffrey Epstein allegedly told authorities that while he was on house arrest in Florida, his security team caught a man dressed in black “like a ninja” hiding in bushes near him. According to documents later obtained from the Epstein prosecution record, Epstein’s attorney Jack Goldberger raised the incident in a letter while seeking changes to Epstein’s probation restrictions. Goldberger claimed E...

Interlochen Center for the Arts is moving to demolish Green Lake Lodge, a building originally funded by Jeffrey Epstein and once named for him before the school stripped his name from campus after learning of his 2009 criminal conviction. Epstein had attended Interlochen’s summer camp in 1967 and later donated to the institution from 1990 to 2003. The lodge, built along Green Lake, was used to hou...

The column argues that Thomas Massie’s primary defeat is not just a political loss but the symbolic collapse of what it calls the “Epstein Era,” meaning the period when Epstein-related transparency demands, online speculation, anti-establishment anger, and accusations about hidden networks became central to parts of Republican politics. Its basic claim is that Massie helped drag the party into a c...

Jeffrey Epstein’s reach extended far beyond New York, Palm Beach, and the familiar circles of American finance and politics. Newly surfaced records show him probing for influence and opportunity across Latin America and the Caribbean, including Venezuela and Cuba, where he appeared to position himself as a connector for businessmen, political insiders, and power brokers operating in difficult, sen...

Newly released Justice Department files show Jeffrey Epstein received extraordinary white-glove treatment from Mount Sinai, turning one of New York’s most prestigious medical systems into yet another elite institution where his money, access, and relationships appeared to open doors that ordinary people would never get near.

Judge  Berman’s decision to unseal the Epstein grand jury documents represents one of the most forceful judicial pushes for transparency in a case that has been defined by secrecy, institutional hesitancy, and years of bureaucratic dodgeball. In his ruling, Berman made clear that the new federal Epstein transparency law leaves no ambiguity: Congress intended these records to be opened, and the cou...

The story centers on renewed pressure for Prince Andrew to cooperate with U.S. investigators examining Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking network. U.S. authorities had publicly stated that Andrew had provided “zero cooperation” after prosecutors and the FBI sought to interview him about Epstein, despite Andrew previously saying he was willing to help any appropriate law-enforcement inquiry. Lawyers...

Writer Christopher Mason says that Ghislaine Maxwell commissioned him to write a birthday song for Jeffrey Epstein that included very lurid and sexualized references—specifically lyrics about “24-hour erections” and “schoolgirl crushes” when Epstein had taught at Dalton School.

Police investigating Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor are reportedly seeking the Metropolitan Police files connected to Virginia Giuffre as part of a widening inquiry into alleged sexual misconduct, fraud, corruption, and misconduct in public office. The focus is not only on Giuffre’s long-standing allegations that Andrew sexually abused her when she was 17 after she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein an...

The whole alien “disclosure” push reeks like a giant shiny-object maneuver: when the Epstein files are still the unresolved scandal sitting in the middle of the room, suddenly the public is being invited to look up at the sky instead of down at the paper trail. The government can roll out UFO files, talk about “unprecedented transparency,” and tease the possibility of hidden knowledge, but that on...
