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...

One of President Donald Trump's top aides has some thoughts on Elon Musk. In a series of interviews with Vanity Fair published on Tuesday, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles weighed in on Musk's time as the de facto leader of DOGE, her thoughts on the Musk-led shuttering of USAID, and Musk's personality quirks. "The challenge with Elon is keeping up with him," Wiles told the outlet, calling Musk an "avowed ketamine" user who "sleeps in a sleeping bag" in an office building adjacent to the White House during the daytime. "He's an odd, odd duck, as I think...

White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been plunged into a PR nightmare of her own making after she divulged stunning details about Donald Trump and his top team. Wiles, renowned in Washington for her tact, appears to have made an astonishing slip-up after she revealed that Trump has an 'alcoholic's personality'. In the wide-ranging interview with Vanity Fair, she branded JD Vance a 'conspiracy theorist', ripped into Pam Bondi over the botched release of the Epstein files, and described Elon Musk as a ketamine-dependent oddball. The intimate details were released over many months to journalist Chris Whipple who...

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released “never-before-seen” images and videos of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious private island in the Caribbean Wednesday as official Washington waits for the Justice Department to hand over its files on the infamous case. The eerie images show several rooms in the disgraced financier’s luxury retreat on Little St. James in the US Virgin Islands, including one room that looks like a dentist’s operating office and is decorated with what appear to be masks of notorious historical figures.

A Democrat congressman was pictured looking at sexually explicit photographs while on a plane - in full view of a disgusted passenger. California Rep. Brad Sherman, 71, was seen in images circulating social media ogling images of scantily-clad women on his iPad while sat on a flight. An X user who first shared the images of Sherman on the aircraft wrote in a post seen by millions: 'Why did California Congressman Brad Sherman feel it was appropriate to look at porn on his iPad during a flight today?' 'His district deserves better representation than this!!' The social media post featured...

Pro Tip for CNN contributor Cari Champion: If you're going to criticize people who "don't really understand tennis," avoid making a glaring mistake of your own about the sport! Appearing on Monday's CNN This Morning, former ESPN host Champion was discussing the ongoing U.S. Open and commenting on how, in her opinion, women players get treated more harshly when it comes to bad behavior on the court, Champion ripped people who comment on the matter but "don't really understand tennis." But just moments later, Champion thrice alluded to Naomi Osaka as an "American" tennis player: You know what I'm excited...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨BREAKING: Zelensky met with Trump Special Envoy for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg this morning in DC. Wearing a t-shirt. From Anton Gerashchenko 10:17 AM · Aug 18, 2025

A Russian navy tugboat, the Kapitan Ushakov, sank on August 9, 2025, at a shipyard in St. Petersburg. It was expected to be delivered to the Northern fleet. The Project 23470 began listing to starboard on August 8. The sinking of the ship occurred at a time when it was in the final stages of outfitting and about to be completed at the Baltic shipyard in St. Petersburg. The shipyard team made efforts throughout the night to stabilise the vessel, but failed ultimately. By the morning of August 9, the tugboat flipped and capsized on the seabed near the dock....

@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?

Jeffrey Epstein traveled throughout the Middle East and Africa in the 1980s, frequently requesting multiple passports for the trips, according to newly obtained documents. Between 1980 and his death in 2019, Epstein visited Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Mali, Gabon and countless European countries. He often reported lost passports and requested multiple to accommodate his many travel visas, the documents obtained by ABC News, reveal. 'Please issue me a second passport so I may have the 3 visas issued for Africa while I am using my current passport in France.' At the time, he carried a conviction for soliciting child...

@WallStreetApes Remember how we were told Jeffrey Epstein made his money in finance, wealth management and trading Charlie Kirk exposes Jeffrey Epstein HAD NO TRADES EVER made under his name “There are no trades to Jeffrey Epstein name at any of the trading desks — yet he ends up with a lifestyle you would think that he's worth $50 billion dollars” “He had multiple Gulf Streams jets, multiple. Each one is $30, $40, $50 million”

Alex Jones gives an extensive break down on why the Trump administration is claiming there is zero evidence that Jeffrey Epstein conducted blackmail, or that he kept an incriminating client list — or that he committed suicide. The DOJ is running cover for the CIA and Mossad. NO ONE IS BUYING THIS!! Next the DOJ will say ‘Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed.” This is over the top sickening.

It was a surprising statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi as the Trump administration promises to release more files from its sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein: The FBI, she said, was reviewing “tens of thousands of videos” of the wealthy financier “with children or child porn.” The comment, made to reporters at the White House days after a similar remark to a stranger with a hidden camera, raised the stakes for President Donald Trump’s administration to prove it has in its possession previously unseen compelling evidence. That task is all the more pressing after an earlier document dump that...

The lead singer of the alternative rock band “The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus” told supporters of President Donald Trump they are permanently banned from his shows Saturday. Frontman Ronnie Winter made the declaration in a video posted to his band’s official Instagram page, saying, “If you voted for Donald Trump, do not come to my shows — forever, not just like these four years.” He specifically attacked Christian Trump supporters, stating, “If you’re Christian and you voted for Donald Trump, shame on you. You are not allowed to come to my shows. I don’t want you there. Don’t come to my...

Dear Freepers After almost 25 years of freerepublic.com being a rare bastion of sanity in this crazy world, I will be ending my time as a member of this once great site. The quality of FR has degraded to the point that I no longer find much usage for the site that I can’t find on other platforms and sources. I have had multiple conversations with many freepers, both in the forum and privately and many of them agree with some of my points of contention: A) The primary reason I am leaving is the failure of FR to address...

Time to drop the really big bomb: @realDonaldTrump is in the Epstein files. That is the real reason they have not been made public. Have a nice day, DJT!

Top brass at the FBI has emphatically declared that notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019 was a suicide and that there is no evidence to suggest otherwise. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino and director Kash Patel have both concluded Epstein took his own life in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. “I have reviewed the case. Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. There’s no evidence in the case file indicating otherwise,” Bongino, a former conservative talk radio host, wrote on X.

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, whose list of clients included some of the world’s most elite, really killed himself inside his jail cell, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino said.Speaking to Fox News Sunday Morning Futures’ Maria Bartiromo, Patel and Bongino both confirmed the deceased hedge fund manager who owned Pedophile Island died by suicide inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City.“You said Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide. People don’t believe it,” Bartiromo pressed the pair.“They have a right to their opinion,” Patel responded.“But as someone who’s been a public defender, a prosecutor, who’s worked in that...

The O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released never-before-seen footage of Jeffrey Epstein’s private island mansion. Many of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes were committed on his private island Little St. James in the Caribbean. The O’Keefe Media Group released video showing a creepy image of a baby in a sink holding a phallic toy near Epstein’s kitchen table. Click here to view the new O’Keefe video in case footage is deleted or censored. WATCH:

The video, which OMG confirms as authentic, shows a minimalist kitchen with stark white walls and stainless steel fixtures. But it’s one deeply disturbing piece of decor that is drawing particular attention: a framed photo above the kitchen table showing a nude baby sitting in a sink and holding a “phallic-shaped object.”
