After his first arrest for sex crimes, Jeffrey Epstein tried to get into a new line of work: surveillance. In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne. Leaked emails show that Epstein was using Barak to seek out opportunities in the surveillance industry and build connections with powerful figures around the globe, including American businessman Peter Thiel, the former director of Israeli signals intelligence, and two people in Russian President Vladimir Putin's circle. After he was first caught sexually exploiting teenage girls,...

"Well, I mean, I'm talking about the — the — I had had, there was a. . . . —Ghislaine Maxwell. Did you happen to bother reading the transcript of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview? It’s tough sledding at times — both Ms. Maxwell and Deputy AG Todd Blanche tend to speak in choppy, incomplete sentences (as does, you might have noticed, President Trump) — but altogether the confab reveals that just about everything you think you know about the scandal might not be so, and her story is full of shocking surprises, assuming you can believe her. For instance, Ms. Maxwell...

It was one of those. It was either in Nantucket or the Vineyard, and invited Epstein to go, and I believe that’s when he met Prince Andrew’.” This mention of Lady Rothschild is not in the least surprising, since we’ve known for some time that she was also the one who introduced Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz:

Before she allegedly took her own life exactly four months ago today on April 24th, Virginia Roberts Giuffre was the most famous of all Jeffrey Epstein victims. She was a woman that fought in the justice system, and got the trifecta of financial reparations: from Epstein, from Ghislaine Maxwell, from Prince Andrew. Giuffre knew where the bodies were buried – and now, from beyond the grave, she will have the last word.

Hey Republicans, it’s time to get out the shovels and dig a very deep hole. Then bury forever the stench and false innuendo coming from the Jeffrey Epstein case. Especially now that the dead monster’s cohort, Ghislaine Maxwell, has told the Justice Department that she never once saw President Trump “acting inappropriately in any way” and that he “was never inappropriate with anybody” despite a long association with Epstein. Those should be the final words of the sordid saga and give the GOP the confidence to stop runnin’ scared on the subject and drop its foolish obsession with the case....

Virginia Giuffre’s family blasts DOJ for giving Maxwell ‘a platform to rewrite history’ in newly released Epstein case interview transcripts.Virginia Roberts Giuffre's family released a statement on Saturday saying they are "outraged" one day after the Department of Justice released transcripts of the Deputy Attorney General's interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Jeffrey Epstein's associate, Maxwell, said the convicted sex offender did not keep a client list. Maxwell was convicted in 2022 on federal sex trafficking charges and is serving a 20-year prison sentence. The release of the interview materials comes as the Trump administration faces increased scrutiny over transparency related to...

Attorney General Pam Bondi handed over to Congress thousands of pages related to the late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. In a bid to increase transparency after public backlash over her handling of the Epstein files review, Bondi gave the House Oversight Committee the first trove of files on Friday, a spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Mail. Committee Chairman James Comer plans to make the documents public after review and redaction. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump said that he's the one who told Bondi to give anything and everything to Congress because it would only prove that the Epstein saga is a...

The late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, told Justice Department officials last month that President Trump was “never inappropriate with anybody” in the time the disgraced financier and future commander in chief were friends.

The committee will review the Justice Department’s production before releasing any material publicly.The Justice Department is expected to release a portion of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation files to the House Oversight Committee as soon as Friday, marking the culmination of a rare bipartisan demand for records. The scope and contents of the documents remain unknown. We don’t know if this information coming out is new. We don’t know if these are things that members of Congress have seen before. We don’t know if this is information that’s already made it out into the public eye through reporting or through previous...

In what looks like it might prove to be yet more good news for those Americans who want to learn the truth about what was going on with Jeffrey Epstein, the House Oversight Committee will now be able to release some of the documents it has pertaining to Epstein. The news follows the committee having issued a subpoena to the DOJ, in which it demanded the ability to release the documents. As background, the committee issued a subpoena to the DOJ earlier in August in which it requested from Attorney General Pam Bondi and her Department of Justice information pertaining...

Donald Trump was handed another blow on Wednesday when a federal judge denied his administration's attempts to release grand jury testimony from the Jeffrey Epstein case. U.S. District Judge Richard Berman deemed Trump's Justice Department did not provide adequate reasoning to unseal the highly-protected materials. He also said that the grand jury motion was likely a 'diversion' coming from the Trump administration. '[T]he court denies the government's motion to unseal the Epstein grand jury transcripts and exhibits,' the Clinton-appointed judge wrote in his Wednesday decision. It comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi moved at the direct of the president this...

BREAKING: Former AG Bill Barr testified under oath today that President Trump is in NO WAY implicated in the Epstein files, and if he was, Biden would’ve leaked it That narrative is now out the window, as Barr would ABSOLUTELY take down Trump if he could. “[Barr] said that he had never seen anything that would implicate President Trump in any of this, and that if there had been anything pertaining to President Trump with respect to the Epstein list, that he felt like the Biden administration would probably have leaked it out,” House Oversight Chairman @JamesComer said

WASHINGTON — Former Attorney General Bill Barr shared “new” details about the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein — and his death in federal custody while awaiting trial — during a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, according to the panel’s chairman. ... A source familiar with the deposition told The Post that Barr testified he wasn’t aware of any missing footage from cameras at the Manhattan detention center where Epstein was found dead — despite critics pointing to nearly three minutes being cut in a video released by the DOJ last month.

Hunter Biden dismissed First Lady Melania Trump’s demand for an apology for his statements linking the former super model to Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter’s response, “F*** that! That’s not going to happen.” What a piece of trash.

.... Massie also has an ally in Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a fellow self-described libertarian who describes Massie as a good friend. “I’m a big supporter of his, and vice versa. I’m planning a 10-city tour with him in September to support him, and we will do what it takes. We both represent sort of the liberty wing of the Republican Party,” Paul said. “We want to make sure that we don’t allow anybody to come in and try to defeat him.” Paul is the only GOP senator who voted against Trump’s megabill because of debt concerns, but, unlike Massie,...

The Capitol Hill battle over Jeffrey Epstein is poised to heat up when Congress returns to Washington next month. While GOP leaders left town early to avoid the radioactive issue, the conspiracy-ridden saga is set to ramp back up come September for a number of reasons. A bipartisan pair of lawmakers have vowed to force a vote on their resolution requiring the administration to release the federal files it’s withholding and plan to bring survivors of Epstein’s abuse to Capitol Hill in the first days of Congress’s return. Separately, a number of court cases surrounding the fate of those files...

Attorneys for First Lady Melania Trump threatened Hunter Biden with a $1 billion defamation lawsuit if he doesn’t retract his statements linking her to Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter Biden falsely claimed Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania to Trump. During an interview with Channel 5 host Andrew Callaghan earlier this month, Hunter Biden claimed, “Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania, and that’s how Melania and the first lady and the President met.” Melania met Trump at a Fashion Week party in New York City in 1998.
