https://babylonbee.com/news/bad-luck-trump-says-the-missing-epstein-files-were-in-the-east-wing-and-have-now-been-destroyedWASHINGTON, D.C. — The Jeffrey Epstein case is now formally closed following an announcement by President Donald Trump that all the missing Epstein files were in the East Wing of the White House and have now been destroyed. "You know, I never go to the East Wing, but I guess that's where all the Epstein files were. Even the client list, if you can believe it. They said there was no client list, but I guess it was in the East Wing the whole time. Who knew?" Trump told reporters Monday morning. "There were a lot of files. A lot...

Senate Democrats are still clinging to tainted Jeffrey Epstein cash even while hectoring the Trump administration over releasing files about the notorious pedophile financier. Epstein shelled out a string of campaign contributions to prominent candidates when he was traveling in powerful social circles that included financial and political elites. Most were Democrats, and many recipients returned the cash or made equivalent donations to charity after his shocking arrest on federal sex-trafficking charges in 2019. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, now headed by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), took a different tack – keeping the $59,000 in Epstein contributions it accumulated through...

Virginia Giuffre's ghostwriter has revealed she holds the names of everyone listed in the Epstein files along with private recordings to prove it. Amy Wallace, the co-author of Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody's Girl, sat down with NewsNation on Tuesday to discuss the 400-page tell-all detailing the harrowing events that unfolded on the disgraced billionaire's infamous island. In an explosive claim, Wallace insisted the list exists, that she knows the identities of everyone named and that the FBI has been holding it for more than ten years.

Jeffrey Epstein’s former Upper East Side mansion has undergone a massive, million-dollar remodel in an attempt to scrub all traces of the pedophile financier and his twisted sex crimes, The Post can reveal. But a new memoir from Epstein’s late victim Virginia Giuffre has dragged 9 E. 71st St. — once New York City’s largest private home — back into the grim spotlight. In “Nobody’s Girl,” which was released this week, Giuffre describes being repeatedly subjected to sado-masochistic sexual torture in a massage room that she named “The Dungeon.” Giuffre describes being chained up, fitted with a collar, and beaten...

Prince Andrew should share everything he knows about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the co-writer of Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir has told the BBC. The book, Nobody's Girl, officially released in the UK on Tuesday, gives more details of Ms Giuffre's allegations about Prince Andrew - which he has always denied. Ahead of the release, co-author Amy Wallace told BBC Newsnight there was a period when Prince Andrew "indicated he was willing to help investigators in the US" but he was "never available, for some reason". "That's something he could still do," Ms Wallace - who spent four years writing...

Giuffre did not name her attacker in the book, but she did in many judicial filings. Ahead of the publication next week, Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s memoir is making headlines as excerpts of the book are being made public. Besides the first salvo of revelations about disgraced British Prince Andrew, who surrendered his Royal titles including Duke of Yorn, a new explosive revelation sheds light on the Epstein trafficking ring. Giuffre writes that she was ‘bloodied, beaten and raped’ by a ‘well-known prime minister’ in a series of brutal encounters. The New York Post reported: “In her posthumous memoir...

@RepThomasMassie First the British Ambassador lost his job and now the Prince lost his title. Don’t tell us there’s nothing in the Epstein files. The truth is coming out and we will not give up. Repost this and tag @SpeakerJohnson if you want him to quit delaying the vote.

@beinlibertarian Dear MAGA, Nothing will lose libertarian support for Republicans like Trump taking uncalled for shots at Constitutional Conservatives like Rand Paul and Thomas Massie while supporting Lindsey Graham and Fauci. That might not be as big as the incentive is to take Miriam Adelson and assorted Epstein client list billionaire money… But the swamp needs to be drained, not fertilized. Trump won’t be President forever. Some of you MAGA loyalists are going to feel bad for selling your soul to the cult of personality when his term is up. At some point “he’s better than Kamala and Biden” isn’t...

FBI Director Kash Patel joins FOX Business Network's "Kudlow" to discuss Operation Summer Heat, the number of arrests under the Trump administration, a federal grand jury indicting alleged Antifa members, and FBI staff being paid during the shutdown.LARRY KUDLOW, FOX BUSINESS: Director Kash Patel, hats off to you, Kash. You've done a great job. The way I read it, you've depoliticized it, you've de-weaponized it, people are going back to work, and these numbers, we're going to put it on the full screen, the FBI, Summer Heat, and all crushing of violent crime, you've just done this in only a...

Jeffrey Epstein regularly boasted he could blackmail a powerful network of men using videos showing them abusing young women, according to Virginia Giuffre. The bombshell claim is made in her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl, A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice. The Telegraph has obtained a copy of the 367-page book which will be published next week by Alfred A. Knopf. It will reignite questions about whether the late paedophile maintained a “client list” after the federal authorities concluded in July that there was no blackmail operation. Giuffre finished writing the book six months before she took her...

The seeds of Andrew's downfall were sown many years ago, when he began a friendship with financier Jeffrey Epstein in the 1990s. Andrew once counted both Epstein and his former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell as friends, and the trio were seen on holiday together at Donald Trump's Mar-a-lago club in Florida in 2000. In the same year, Epstein and Maxwell attended a party at Buckingham Palace held to mark birthdays including the prince's 40th. Flight records show the then-Duke flew on Epstein's private plane in May 2000. In 2008, Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in prison for soliciting a minor...

Prince Andrew is to give up his titles, including the Duke of York, he has announced in a personal statement. He has been under increasing pressure for his links with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with calls for the Palace to take action against him. That now seems to have resulted in the prince deciding to voluntarily hand back his titles and to give up membership of the Order of the Garter. Prince Andrew has faced a series of scandals, including a court case he settled with Virginia Giuffre, questions about his finances and his involvement with an alleged Chinese spy....

I know, I know….I’m skeptical too but CBS News reports it has suddenly received 90 new Jeffrey Epstein photos that have never been seen before. ‼️🇺🇸: CBS has acquired 90 NEW photos from Epstein’s cell after his demise, and they do NOT add up with the 'suic1de' narrative. 👀 pic.twitter.com/nXjieCi87B— Diligent Denizen 🇺🇸 (@DiligentDenizen) October 9, 2025Even the “MSM” is now starting to admit this looks more like a cleanup and coverup than a true investigation: 🚨 NEW: CBS confirms Epstein’s jail cell was a forensic disaster.- No proper evidence markers- Items moved before photos- Epstein’s body gone before inspection-...

Book publisher HarperCollins UK issued an apology Tuesday after a recent book made claims that first lady Melania Trump was introduced to her husband through convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The publisher worked with Andrew Lownie, author of “Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York,” to remove “several passages of the book that made unverified claims” about the first lady, according to a statement posted on social platform X. Trump also shared the statement on her social media. “Copies of the book that include those references are being permanently removed from distribution,” the statement reads. “HarperCollins UK...

A special election last month secured Representative Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) the 218 votes needed to force a vote on releasing all Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein. But Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva has still not been sworn in, and Massie suspects Speaker Mike Johnson has a specific reason for the delay. Massie said in an X post he published Monday, “Contrary to what he says, Speaker Johnson is doing everything he can, including delaying the swearing in of the most recently elected member of Congress and spreading misinformation about the legislation, to block a vote in Congress on legislation to...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said Tuesday that she has faced more pressure over a petition to trigger a House vote compelling the release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein than any other issue. “My signature is on that discharge petition, and there has not been another issue where I have ever received more pressure than that one, and I’m pretty much shocked by it. I can’t imagine — I’ve never understood how this is an issue,” Greene told NewsNation’s Blake Burman on “The Hill.” “I think when it comes to women being raped, especially when they were 14 years...

Attorney General Pam Bondi and Republican Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn called out Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin during a Tuesday hearing for not publishing deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.Blackburn previously said that Durbin had “blocked” her from requesting subpoenas for Epstein’s flight logs, according to a 2023 press release. Bondi made a similar allegation during a Senate Judiciary Committee, which Durbin denied, but Blackburn refuted.WATCH:“Senator Durbin, I find it very interesting that you refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein flight logs in 2023 and 2024. You fought that,” Bondi said. “Did you take money from Reid Hoffman...

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned former girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein. On the first day of their new term, the justices declined to take up a case that would have drawn renewed attention to the sordid sexual-abuse saga after President Donald Trump’s administration sought to tamp down criticism over its refusal to publicly release more investigative files from Epstein’s case. Lawyers for Maxwell, a British socialite, argued that she never should have been tried or convicted for her role in luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by Epstein, a New York financier....

@RepThomasMassie The government is shutdown, but the House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. @SpeakerJohnson doesn’t want that to be the news.

U.S. Flag with Israeli Stars Which of the United States or Israel uses the other for its foreign policy? Is Israel the proxy for US foreign policy in the Middle East? Or does Israel determine US foreign policy, both through and because of the Zionist lobby and the neocons and liberals present in the US administration? Is it “the world upside down” “tails wagging dogs”? This is a very old question: who manipulates whom in this American-Israeli relationship?
