The Vault: The Epstein Files

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is now facing a broadened police inquiry in Britain that goes beyond the original misconduct-in-public-office allegation tied to his former role as a UK trade envoy. Thames Valley Police are reportedly examining possible sexual misconduct, corruption, fraud, dishonesty, abuse of power, and dereliction of duty as part of a widening investigation connected to his long rela...

Sarah Kellen’s closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee is being described by Chairman James Comer as the most substantive and productive testimony the committee has received so far in its Epstein probe. Kellen, one of the four women named as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement, reportedly gave lawmakers three new names of people she said were inv...

The British government says it has found no evidence that formal security vetting or due diligence was carried out before Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was appointed as the UK’s special representative for international trade and investment in 2001. Newly released historical documents show that Queen Elizabeth II was “very keen” for Andrew to have a prominent role promoting Britain’s interests, and of...

In July 2019, following his arrest on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges, Jeffrey Epstein was formally ordered remanded to custody after a detention hearing before Judge Richard Berman. Prosecutors argued that Epstein’s extraordinary wealth, private planes, offshore residences, and history of evading consequences made him an overwhelming flight risk. They also stressed that his release...

Originally known as the Herbert N. Straus House, this imposing Upper East Side mansion was designed by architect Horace Trumbauer and completed in 1932. Although commissioned for Herbert Straus—the son of Macy’s co-owners—he never lived in it. In 1944, Straus’s heirs, facing prohibitive property costs, donated the unfinished building to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, which initially u...

Five former Ohio State wrestlers—who say they were victims of the late Dr. Richard Strauss—authored a letter in early February 2020, urging Ohio’s Inspector General to investigate Les and Abigail Wexner. In their five-page appeal, they request two investigations: first, into Abigail Wexner’s alleged role in Jeffrey Epstein’s assault of Maria Farmer at the Wexners’ New Albany estate; and second, in...

New Mexico’s Epstein Truth Commission is set to hold its first public meeting on June 1 as it begins investigating allegations tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch, the sprawling New Mexico property that has remained one of the most under-examined parts of the Epstein story.

Sarah Kellen, one of the four women named as a “potential co-conspirator” in Jeffrey Epstein’s controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement, is now trying to reframe her place in the Epstein story before she appears before Congress. In an interview with MS NOW, Kellen says she was also abused by Epstein and should be understood as a victim as well as someone who later became part of his orbit. Tha...

The newly released Epstein material adds serious weight to long-running suspicions that Zorro Ranch was not simply a remote New Mexico hideaway, but a heavily protected operational site built for secrecy, control, and secure communication. According to the analysis, Epstein’s 2016 email exchange about internet service at the ranch shows him choosing the most expensive and difficult communications...

Various witnesses say that people involved in coordinating, recruiting, or facilitating abuse—like Sarah Kellen, Nadia Marcinkova, Adriana Ross, and others—had access to or worked out of units in that building. They’ve also claimed that...

Alex Acosta is frequently singled out as the architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA), but mounting evidence suggests that he was more of a functionary than a decision-maker. As the U.S. Attorney in South Florida, Acosta did sign off on the sweetheart deal that allowed Epstein to avoid federal prosecution and serve minimal time in a county jail. However, emails and DOJ r...

Todd Blanche, the acting U.S. attorney general, told lawmakers during a Senate appropriations hearing that he would not recommend a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime associate who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking crimes.
