Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨Rep. James Comer Drops Epstein File BOMBSHELL: The Files Have Been Destroyed, Doesn't Think Pam Bondi and Kash Patel Have Them, "I Warned Them.": "They ordered the release.. Haven't been released. They are in there shredding documents. The government is involved.." 1:35 PM · May 6, 2025

During a swearing-in ceremony for Paul Atkins as the new chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Donald Trump was asked point-blank about the long-awaited release of documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein. A reporter asked, “When can we expect the Epstein documents to be released?” Trump replied, “Which documents?” “The Epstein files,” the reporter clarified. President Trump responded calmly but pointedly: “I don’t know. I’ll speak to the attorney general about that. I really don’t know.”

Canada’s incoming prime minister, Mark Carney, has some photos with Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell that he’d rather you not see. Opponents are circulating the 2013 photos, which show Carney smiling alongside Maxwell — who was convicted of sex trafficking in 2021. The shots were taken at a music festival in the UK. Carney’s camp says that the images are nothing more than a political ploy ahead of the Canadian federal election later this year. In the photos, the 59-year-old was joined by his wife and another man, all of whom appeared friendly with Maxwell as they laughed and...

Maurene Comey previously worked as the lead prosecutor on both the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. She also worked on the case involving former Epstein cellmate Nicholas Tartaglione. Fox News anchor Jesse Watters suggested that Maurene Comey, an assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of New York, might have played a role in the FBI's failure to release the top-secret documents. According to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the FBI Field Office in Manhattan had never disclosed the existence of "thousands of documents” related to Epstein. “Epstein was facing sex trafficking charges in lower Manhattan, where's all that paperwork?'...

The Clinton Foundation raked in Millions from USAID. In 2010, USAID managed $4.4 billion for Haiti under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The Clinton Foundation was a significant player in those Haiti "efforts". Where did the money go? ... Clinton Foundation audits were done by Doug Emhoff's law firm DLA PIPER. Peter Comey (1963-2023) brother of FBI James Comey, worked for DLA Piper. FOIA the audits for the "non profit". James Comey connections with HSBC Bank. Attorney General Kamala D.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s former London townhouse, where the United Kingdom’s Prince Andrew allegedly posed with his arm around the waist of an underage Jeffrey Epstein accuser in 2001, is up for sale again. Maxwell, 63, sold it in 2021 for the equivalent of roughly $2.1 million to help pay for her defense in a US sex trafficking trial, in which she was convicted for her role in assisting Epstein’s crimes. The three-bedroom, three-story home is now listed for the equivalent of roughly $3.96 million, according to the London real estate site Chestertons. Photos show a freshly revamped kitchen, wooden lattice over...

A second amended complaint filed Friday in Manhattan federal court by six victims of Jeffrey Epstein who are suing the V.I. government for alleged violations of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act claims territory officials actively conspired with the late multimillionaire to perpetuate his sex-trafficking scheme for their own gain. In effect, the U.S. Virgin Islands became “a government-sanctioned sanctuary” for wealthy men who paid Epstein “substantial” sums of money to travel from New York to engage in commercial sex acts with women also traveling from that state, the amended suit alleges. Epstein would then deposit the funds in his New...

Jeffrey Epstein is going to name names — again. A mysterious “black book” believed to belong to the late pedophile financier, which revealed the names and addresses of 221 previously undisclosed people, is going up for auction — and bidders are being assured that their identities will be kept secret. It could fetch up to $200,000 — or more, the auction house owner told the Daily Beast, which first reported the story. **SNIP** The book was reportedly found on Fifth Avenue in the East Village by a female musician in the 1990s, but how it came to be there remains...

In a recent development in the case between Virginia L. Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell, a transcript of a videotaped deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell taken in New York in 2016 was released on Friday. The deposition, held at the law offices of Boies Schiller & Flexner, contains confidential information and has brought crucial details regarding the allegations and legal proceedings surrounding the case to the forefront. Some key points: Maxwell confirmed she began working for Epstein around 1992. Her role evolved over time, including overseeing construction projects and staffing for Epstein’s properties. Her active involvement decreased around 2002-2003, although she occasionally...

Hillary Clinton's name has appeared in court documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell for the first time, with a newly-published tranche requesting 'all communications' from her and 12 other people. The former Secretary of State's surprise entrance on the Epstein stage - her husband has been mentioned multiple times, and was known to associate with the late pedophile financier for several years - came as lawyers asked whether the Clinton Foundation was bankrolling Maxwell. Maxwell, the only person convicted for her role in Epstein's sex trafficking network, refused to answer. Hillary Clinton was not known to be close...

The Jeffrey Epstein list of associates unsealed by a US judge has reignited suspicions the pedophile financier was an asset for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency. Israel's former prime minister Ehud Barak was identified in the bombshell dossiers Wednesday night. He served as PM from 1991 to 2001 after serving in the IDF for 35 years, rising to Chief of the General Staff. While he is mentioned only fleetingly in the new files - an Epstein victim asked whether she'd ever given Barak a massage - there has long been speculation surrounding his relationship with the financier. Barak met with...

U.S. District New York Judge Loretta Preska’s ordered release of 187 names that had been previously withheld from court records in a case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime accomplice and lover, have finally been unveiled. Their release was ordered by Judge Preska in December, but she allowed the Jane and John Does to file an appeal. Among the figures listed were Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, Doug Band, a longtime advisor to former President Clinton, Alan Dershowitz, and Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent who killed himself last year.

New evidence from one of Prince Andrew's accusers is due to be presented in a US court this week. The legal documents relate to Johanna Sjoberg and could reveal more details of her alleged encounter with the royal. Ms Sjoberg has previously claimed the King's brother put his hand on her breast at the Manhattan home of multi-millionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2001. She alleged this happened during an incident in which a latex Spitting Image puppet of the Duke of York – a present from Epstein's then-lover Ghislaine Maxwell – was used to touch the breast of Virginia Roberts....

New details on the pending release of more than 170 names connected to Jeffrey Epstein reveal that some of the world’s most “known and notable” individuals will be among them, including multiple former U.S. presidents. Calling them “some of Jeffrey Epstein’s closest friends,” NewsNation correspondent Dray Clark hinted that the January 1st release of 177 names connected to Epstein as part of a civil lawsuit will officially confirm individuals long known to be associated with the notorious pedophile. Among those expected to be named are Microsoft founder Bill Gates and former President Bill Clinton. Individuals on the list have a...

Robert Kennedy Jr. was on such good terms with Jeffrey Epstein that he had free use of the billionaire pedophile’s Manhattan office in 1993 — and partied with him ... Bobby never could keep dates or wives straight... They were irrelevant to him. ... Oxenberg’s account which may raise most questions over RFK’s attempt to minimize his Epstein connection — because it describes how Maxwell was part of Kennedy’s family circle long before his affair with Mary Richardson began. Oxenberg is a member of the deposed Serbian royal family — Britain’s Prince Andrew is a second cousin — while her...

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who testified against Ghislaine Maxwell has mysteriously died. Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this year. Maxwell worked as Jeffrey Epstein’s pimp for years and the DOJ knew they were running girls as young as 12 but they refused to act. Carolyn Andriano, one of Epstein’s victims who testified against Maxwell, was found unresponsive in a West Palm Beach hotel earlier this year. There was no funeral or obituary and West Palm Beach police opened an investigation into her death after it was concluded she died of an...

The controversial ex-CEO of Barclays will pay a major fine after texts and emails showed the extent of his relationship with the financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Jes Staley, who ran the major U.K. bank between 2015 and 2021, was hit with a £1.8 million ($2.2 million) fine by the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and banned from holding senior positions in the financial services industry. The FCA released a 79-page dossier outlining its extensive three-year investigation into the U.S. banker’s ties with Epstein. Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to charges including soliciting sex from girls as young as...

JPMorgan Chase will pay $75 million to settle claims brought by the U.S. Virgin Islands relating to the bank’s dealings with deceased financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The settlement caps a months-long legal saga in which JPMorgan faced claims of facilitating Epstein’s trafficking of underage women. Bank CEO Jamie Dimon was deposed, as were other executives, and Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.) started a probe. The bank had already agreed to pay $290 million to settle a class action suit brought by Epstein’s victims. Deutsche Bank has paid $75 million to resolve similar claims involving Epstein, who died in jail...

For those who think the truth about the crime and slime associated with Jeffrey Epstein has been deep-sixed down the memory hole, there may be another bite at this rotten apple. Mimi Lui, an attorney representing the U.S. Virgin Islands, has filed suit in federal court against JPMorgan Chase. Lui charged that over $1 billion in suspicious transactions have been reported to the U.S. Treasury since Epstein’s death and that JPMorgan Chase ignored sex-trafficking red flags over many years, thus enabling these crimes. ... The Virgin Islands currently wants a minimum of $190 million from the financial giant for its...

NEW YORK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - A lawyer for the U.S. Virgin Islands said on Thursday that JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N) told U.S. authorities it processed more than $1 billion for Jeffrey Epstein over 16 years. JPMorgan reported the transactions as suspicious to the U.S. Treasury Department following Epstein's suicide in 2019, Mimi Liu, a lawyer for the territory, said at a hearing concerning its lawsuit against the largest U.S. bank. Reuters did not view the bank's disclosures to the Treasury, which are not public. A JPMorgan spokesperson declined to comment. Epstein had been a JPMorgan client from 1998 to 2013,...
