We've spent several hours scanning through datasets of documents released by the Department of Justice. Here's what we've learned so far... "Thank you for believing me, I feel redeemed" That's what Maria Farmer, one of Epstein's earliest accusers, says in a statement to the BBC about her 1996 complaint to the FBI being included in the files today. In that complaint, Farmer said Epstein stole personal photos she took of her 12-year-old and 16-year-old sisters. She believed he sold the photos to potential buyers, and said he threatened to burn her house down if she told anyone about it, the...

A federal judge in Florida on Friday ordered the release of grand jury transcripts from the federal sex trafficking cases of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith said a recently-passed federal law ordering the release of records related to the cases overrode a federal rule prohibiting the release of matters before a grand jury. This is a breaking news story. Check back for updates.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney Leah Saffian has confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers have been FIRED for illegally breaking into Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails, emails that were then funneled straight to Democrat Congressman Jamie Raskin, who blasted them to the media like political propaganda. Raskin, Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee, apparently believes his lofty position as a former law professor grants him the license to trample on the Bill of Rights. By leaking Maxwell’s privileged correspondence to the media, he’s not just undermining the legal process, he’s trampling her constitutional rights, including the First Amendment’s protection of confidential communications,...

In a bizarre and baseless outburst, New Mexico Democrat Rep. Melanie Stansbury is accusing the White House of “covering up” President Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Jeffrey Epstein — even though no credible evidence has ever linked Trump to Epstein’s criminal acts, and years of investigations under Democrat-led agencies have produced nothing to the contrary. Appearing on TMZ Live on Wednesday, Stansbury claimed a newly released batch of Epstein-related emails proved “the White House is trying to cover up Donald Trump’s involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.” She pointed to one message, allegedly sent to Ghislaine Maxwell, ... From that vague and...

Prince Andrew hosted Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Harvey Weinstein at Royal Lodge, the publicly-owned home where he effectively lives rent-free. The trio visited the Windsor mansion as part of his daughter Beatrice's masked ball 18th birthday celebrations in 2006, two months after a US arrest warrant had been issued for Epstein for the sexual assault of a minor. It had previously been reported that Epstein, Maxwell and Weinstein visited Windsor Castle for the event, but not that they had been hosted at Andrew's private home. Andrew, who is facing increased scrutiny over his living arrangements in light of his...

Late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach lair was decorated with an immense collection of framed photographs showing off naked women and the creep’s meetings with high-profile figures, according to resurfaced police footage. The inside look into Epstein’s Florida abode was included in videos released Tuesday by the House Oversight Committee as part of a 33,295-page document dump from files provided by Justice Department. In the tranche were several videos, recorded in 2005, showing Epstein’s home as part of an investigation into allegations the financier molested a 14-year-old girl. Epstein’s since-demolished mansion is replete with photographs of women, many of whom...

Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirator and confidant, was moved to a minimum security federal prison camp in Texas, prison officials said Friday. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex, was being held at a facility in Florida. "We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas," the Bureau of Prisons said in a statement. The Bureau of Prisons did not specify why she was transferred.

When co-host Eugene Daniels asked Conway whether President Trump would grant Jeffrey Epstein's helper Ghislaine Maxwell a pardon or clemency in return for the information she provided to Deputy AG Todd Blanche, Conway had an alliteration ready that's hard to imagine he coined on the spur of the moment. "He's thoroughly capable of doing it. He's a moral maggot who has absolutely no capacity for shame or empathy or remorse."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Trump's ace up his sleeve?

Nobody saw this coming. I mean nobody. Yesterday, the Times ran another electrifying story headlined, “After Ghislaine Maxwell Interview, Concerns Mount Over Possibility of a Trump Pardon.” Pardon concerns mount! In the passive voice! By themselves! Yesterday, in the warm, cozy, Sunshine State climate, “Todd Blanche, Attorney General Pam Bondi’s top deputy, concluded a second extraordinary day of interviews with Ms. Maxwell,” the article explained. In other words, after years of Biden Administration stonewalling (and file padding), Ghislaine Maxwell got a two-day DOJ interview faster than Little Caesars could deliver a jailhouse pizza. And not just any random DOJ interviewer,...

@GuntherEagleman BREAKING: It's being reported that Ghislaine Maxwell did not invoke any privileges when answering questions about roughly 100 people to the DOJ. "She did not invoke privilege and when really pressed on exactly what she‘s being asked about, her lawyer said that they‘ve asked about every single possible thing you can imagine, but then revealed that she was asked about maybe 100 different people. She answered questions about everybody and did not hold anything back." Who do you think she mentioned?

A senior Department of Justice official is meeting with longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell on Thursday in Tallahassee, Florida, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The meeting between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Maxwell is occurring in downtown Tallahassee at the U.S. attorney's office, which is located inside the federal courthouse, sources familiar with the matter said. Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022. She is serving her sentence at a federal prison in Tallahassee.

US Congress will subpoena Ghislaine Maxwell, the imprisoned sex trafficker who was a close associate of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, to testify amid a political firestorm over the Trump administration’s decision not to release its remaining Epstein files. The Tennessee Republican Tim Burchett introduced a motion to compel Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year-sentence in a Florida prison for crimes related to the Epstein, to testify before the House oversight committee. The move appears to skirt an announcement early Tuesday that officials from the Department of Justice are also planning to meet with Maxwell. “We got to send a message...

The US justice department has asked Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, for a meeting with its prosecutors, officials said. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said prosecutors planned to ask Maxwell, "What do you know?", and that he intends to meet her "soon". Maxwell's legal team told the BBC they were in discussions with the government and she would "always testify truthfully". Calls for more transparency in the Epstein case have intensified recently, including from supporters of President Donald Trump. Despite the pressure, House Speaker Mike Johnson said his chamber would not vote on the release...

The joint statement by the DOJ and FBI of July 6 remains as accurate today as it was when it was written. Namely, that in the recent thorough review of the files maintained by the FBI in the Epstein case, no evidence was uncovered...
