First lady Melania Trump delivered a rare, brief statement Thursday afternoon at the White House, coming out swinging at those who have linked her to Jeffrey Epstein, calling them "devoid of ethical standards." The remarks lasted roughly three minutes and did not include questions from the press. "The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today," she said. "I do not object to their ignorance, but rather I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation."

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is set to testify before the US congress in June about his interactions with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, lawmakers have confirmed. The billionaire philanthropist is the latest high-profile figure to agree to testify before the House Oversight Committee investigating Epstein's wrongdoing. Gates was "looking forward to answering all the committee's questions to support their important work", a spokesperson told the BBC. The hearing is scheduled for 10 June. Gates has not been accused of misconduct by any of Epstein's victims, and his inclusion in investigative files does not imply any criminal activity. Details about Gates'...

It's not the story that Politico really wanted but unfortunately for them, it is the story they ended up with due to cold hard reality. The story in question by Erica Orden appeared on Sunday, "The Epstein files’ cottage industry."What is interesting is that none of the clients that the lawyers are representing is named Donald Trump despite the desperate Politico attempt in the summer of 2025 to link the President to Jeffrey Epstein culminating in SIX Epstein-Trump stories in a 24 hour period in July of that year.As you read the story about the new "cottage industry" for lawyers,...

**The Jerusalem Post** @Jerusalem_Post: Iranian officials are using the Epstein scandal to fuel conspiracy theories aimed at eroding US support for Israeli operations, with a broader effort to sway public opinion in the US against the US-Israel alliance. ✍️ @DanielleGreyman [https://x.com/Jerusalem_Post/status/2033583416923279447] Recent DOJ releases of Epstein files (primarily January–February 2026) have spotlighted several high-profile critics of U.S. interventionism in the Middle East who also appear in Epstein-related correspondence, interviews, flight logs, or records. Below is a clarified, fact-checked summary based on those public documents. **Noam Chomsky** Renowned linguist and one of America’s most consistent critics of U.S. interventionism, including Trump-era...

KANSAS CITY, MO (WDAF)-A pastor in Missouri was suspended last week after it was discovered she worked for and managed the private island of late-sex offender Jeffrey Epstein for nearly a year. On Thursday Bishop Robert Farr of the Missouri Conference of the United Methodist Church placed Rev. Stephanie L. Remington on leave, pending a review by the episcopal office. Remington reportedly worked as Epstein's administrative assistant and temporary property manager of his private island, Little Saint James, from August 2018 to May 2019...

Giants co-owner Steve Tisch announced he will give up his shares of the football team and pass them on to his children after being exposed for asking Jeffrey Epstein about a “working girl” in a series of damning emails about women, sources confirmed to The Post. Tisch, 77, requested to transfer the 23.1% stake in Big Blue that he shares with his siblings, Laurie and Jonathan, to his and their children. The move would leave the elder Tisch siblings with no ownership of the team if the NFL’s finance committee approved the move, first reported by ESPN. The team is...

The House committee investigating the notorious sex offender Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday night asked Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Goldman Sachs ’ top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, billionaires Leon Black and Ted Waitt, and three other people to testify about their dealings with Epstein. Gates, Ruemmler and Black all quickly agreed to voluntary, transcribed interviews with the House Oversight Committee. The panel is also seeking testimony from Doug Band, a former assistant to former President Bill Clinton, Epstein’s former executive assistant Lesley Groff, and Sarah Kellen, another former assistant to Epstein. A spokesperson for Gates said, “Gates welcomes the opportunity to appear...

Just days after Illinois Democrats introduced legislation to investigate Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network and its possible ties to the state, party leaders are now scrambling to pull the bill. The sudden reversal comes after explosive revelations that former President Bill Clinton testified under oath that he once flew Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. On March 2, Democratic State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid of Bridgeview introduced House Bill 5723, known as the Illinois Epstein Files Investigation Act. The legislation was backed by several lawmakers, including State Sen. Graciela Guzman.

The House committee investigating Jeffrey Epstein voted to subpoena U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to testify on her handling of Justice Department files on the disgraced financier. The Republican-led House Oversight Committee voted 24 to 19 Wednesday to issue the subpoena. A Justice Department spokesman didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the vote. Republican Nancy Mace of South Carolina proposed the subpoena and it passed the over the objection of the panel’s chairman, James Comer of Kentucky. Mace said the subpoena would require a taped, closed-door deposition under oath and a time had not yet been set...

Former President Bill Clinton may have just handed Illinois voters a political earthquake. In a recent closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee, Clinton admitted under oath that he brought now-Gov. JB Pritzker and his wife on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. “I think that I had my first trip for the man who’s now the Governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker and his wife,” Clinton reportedly testified.

An ‘Epstein Walk of Shame’ appeared overnight in Washington, D.C., with stickers dedicated to public figures associated with Jeffrey Epstein. On March 1, residents noticed star-shaped stickers placed around Farragut Square, each featuring an image of the convicted s- offender. On the lines of Los Angeles’ Hollywood Walk of Fame, each star on the Walk of Shame mentions the name and designation of a public figure mentioned in the recently released Epstein Files. Every sticker has a QR code, which, when scanned, directs users to the Department of Justice’s website page about the Epstein Files. Some codes link to pdf...

A prominent Shiite organization in Dearborn, Michigan, held a memorial for the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei over the weekend, honoring him for his "martyrdom" while accusing Americans of being led by Satan. "We're gathered here today to commemorate the martyrdom of the great leader of our time, Sayyid Ali Hussein Khamenei," said Hassan Salamey, one of the speakers at the memorial held at the Hadi Institute on Sunday, a day after U.S. and Israeli forces executed Khamenei and other top Iranian officials in Operation Epic Fury. Footage of the service went viral after being shared by the nonprofit...

The Maine State House has removed a portrait of former U.S. Senate Majority Leader George J. Mitchell following renewed scrutiny over his reported ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Maine House Republicans posted video of the portrait being taken down on social media Friday afternoon. The move comes after the release of roughly 3 million additional documents related to Epstein, in which Mitchell’s name reportedly appears more than 300 times. Mitchell was a prominent American politician and diplomat. He also served as Majority Leader in the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 1995. For years, he has denied any knowledge...

Appearing Thursday on Morning Joe, MS NOW’s Ali Vitali conceded there are “valid questions” about Bill Clinton’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein — enough to justify a House Oversight deposition. But the only connection Vitali mentioned? “He appears in photos.”Left unmentioned was what ABC News has reported: Bill Clinton was listed on 26 Epstein flight legs — though some were segments of the same international trips. Still, 26 entries in the logs. Not one. Not “a couple.” Twenty-six. Morning Joe viewers would never have known it. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

With Bill and Hillary Clinton giving their depositions to the US House Government Oversight Committee over Clinton ties to Jeffrey Epstein a man known as a 'financier' I am certainly reminded of those "Clinton Years" of the 1990's. Those years punctuated by financial questions about the Clinton's from the 'cattle futures' windfall for Hillary to the Whitewater project questions surrounding them and those infamous Rose Law Firm billing records. But in the end it was all for nought as a probe of the Clinton's centered on financial wrongdoing descended into the pit of Bill Clinton's illicit sexual relationships and his...
