White House Defends Commerce Secretary After Bombshell Revelation of Visit to Epstein’s Pedo Island

President Donald Trump continues to back Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick after Lutnick admitted having visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island before a Senate committee Tuesday.

“Secretary Lutnick remains a very important member of President Trump’s team, and the President fully supports the secretary,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt at a briefing Tuesday.

In an October podcast interview with New York Post Editor Miranda Devine, Lutnick had said that he and his wife did not pursue any kind of relationship with Epstein after moving next door and meeting him in 2005. They were, according to Lutnick, put off by some comments Epstein made about his massage table while giving them a tour of his home.

“My wife and I decided that I will never be in the room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn’t going because he’s gross,” Lutnick said. “So yeah, that’s my story, a one and absolutely done.”

But recently disclosed documents from the Epstein files revealed that Lutnick did, in fact, maintain a relationship with Epstein including investing in a business together, meeting for drinks, discussing neighboring property development and invitations to dinners and galas, until 2018. Several emails also suggested that Lutnick had at least tried to visit Epstein’s island while spending some time in the Caribbean on vacation.

Former Palm Beach Police Chief Reveals Trump Called During Epstein Investigation

A former Palm Beach police chief who investigated Jeffrey Epstein in the mid-2000s reportedly received a call from Donald Trump expressing relief over the investigation, according to an FBI account of a 2019 interview with the ex-police chief.

Trump said, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him,” according to the FBI account.

The police chief’s name is redacted from the document on the Department of Justice’s website, but the information in the FBI statement aligns with Michael Reiter’s role in the investigation that began in 2005.

Epstein Death Files Ignite New Firestorm as Prosecutors’ Statement Appears Dated Before He Died

Newly released files tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s federal case are fueling renewed controversy after revealing a draft statement attributed to prosecutors that appears to be dated one day before Epstein was officially found dead in his Manhattan jail cell.

The document surfaced as part of the Justice Department’s latest Epstein disclosure and is among at least 23 records labeled as statements from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. A review of the tranche shows multiple versions of similar statements, many with inconsistent redactions—some leaving phone numbers or names exposed, while others are almost entirely blacked out.

One draft, however, stands out.

It bears a date of August 9, 2019—the day before Epstein was discovered unresponsive in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the morning of August 10, where he was later pronounced dead while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

The pre-dated statement is attributed to then–U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman and reads in part:

“Earlier this morning, the Manhattan Correctional Center confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein […] had been found unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter.”

The draft also describes the moment as “disturbing” and emphasizes prosecutors’ continued commitment to Epstein’s victims.

What it does not include is a cause of death—something that appeared in the finalized version released publicly the following day.

Screenshots of the document quickly circulated online after the files were released.

X user @rschmied posted dryly:

“Just a version of the Epstein death announcement dated Friday, August 9th, day before he died in the official announcement which is dated the 10th. Carry on.”

Others pointed to additional details from the release that further muddy the waters.

One post from @DMichaelTripi claimed:

“NEW: Noose allegedly used by Jeffrey Epstein collected at the scene of his death has been determined to have not been used in Epstein’s ‘suicide’ according to DOJ Inspector General.”

Beyond paperwork discrepancies, the files also provide fresh insight into Epstein’s mental state in the days leading up to his death—details that complicate the official narrative.

According to a suicide risk assessment dated August 1, 2019, just nine days before he was found dead, Epstein told prison psychologists he would never kill himself, citing religious beliefs.

The report states:

“He said he is Jewish and he said in his religion suicide is against the religion.”

Now, with a prosecutor’s statement seemingly dated before Epstein’s death, inconsistently redacted records, disputed forensic details, and fresh insight into his mindset, the latest document dump has reignited debate over whether the full truth has ever been told.

Shocking Footage Shows Jeffrey Epstein Being Asked If He Is the ‘Devil Himself,’ Mocking Jesus

By My Charisma. Newly released video files surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein case are drawing renewed attention after footage shows him being directly asked whether he believed he was “the devil himself.”

In a video shared by Sky News Australia, the outlet notes that the material is part of a massive release from the Department of Justice, comprising millions of pages of documents, thousands of photos and hundreds of hours of video recordings. . .

Moments later, the conversation reaches a pivotal point when Epstein is asked to consider how victims or families might feel about receiving money connected to him. Then comes the confrontation.

Bannon asks plainly, “Do you think you’re the devil himself?” . . .

Another part of the interview showed Epstein mocking Jesus for being a carpenter.

Who is Baal? Epstein’s newly released files spark fear amid ‘sacrifice’ claims; ‘too deep and extreme’

By Hindustan Times. Questions have been raised about Jeffrey Epstein’s religion and who Baal is, after documents related to him went public. The Department of Justice on Friday released the final tranche of files linked to the late convicted child sex offender.

Among them is a document where Epstein asks for eleven thousand four hundred thirty eight dollars to be wired. The name of the account, however, is what has caught the eyes of many. It is written ‘Baal name’ and then “Wachovia Bank, N.A.”.

A snapshot of the document was shared widely on X with many making claims about ‘demonic worship’.

“Baal is a demonic being that was worshipped in ancient israel by some hebrews before they converted to Judaism. Child sacrifice is a ritual of Baal worshippers, usually through burning, like lsraeI did to Gaza. Archaeological discoveries have found thousands of urns with cremated infant and small children remains. Now we have evidence of Epstein’s circle killing and even eating children,” one profile wrote.

Another added, “This Epstein sh*t is too deep and extreme…these leaders used to sacrifice babies by burning them to their god called “baal”. SA, India, UK etc are on the files. No wonder MKP been quiet about the Genocide in Gaza. if Iran keep on resisting Israel will release more files.”

MAGA Fans Lash Out as Epstein Survivors Release Ad During the Super Bowl: ‘A Psyop’

Fans of President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement lashed out at survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s heinous crimes on Sunday for releasing an advertisement during the Super Bowl.

Survivors plan to release an advertisement on social media calling out the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files. Last week, the administration released the personal information of more than 40 victims, which one survivor said on Sunday was an attempt to “silence” them. . .

News of the ad by survivors didn’t sit well with some fans of Trump’s MAGA movement, who shared their reactions on social media.

“And this is how you know this is political and a psyop,” the MAGA commentary group “Mostly Peaceful Latinas” posted on X. “Someone paid big money to have this as play during the Super Bowl tonight. People need to wake up from their conspiracy world and arrive back at reality.”

Matt Gaetz Joins Democrat Calling for Bill Barr Testimony After Epstein Video “Contradiction”

U.S. Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) responded to a CBS News report regarding newly accessed video potentially showing a mystery figure on the stairs at the New York jail where sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was held. The video was reportedly recorded on the night of Epstein’s death, which was officially ruled a suicide. According to CBS, the “newly released video logs appear to contradict official accounts,” an assertion reiterated by Lieu.

[Note: The new video logs were released by the U.S. Department of Justice and show “an orange-colored shape moving up a staircase toward the isolated, locked tier where Epstein’s cell was located” on August 9, 2019, the night Epstein died. The alleged contradiction references the fact that authorities, including then-U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, indicated at the time that no one entered Epstein’s housing tier on the night of his death.] . . .

MAGA-aligned former U.S. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a lawyer and former member on the House Judiciary Committee who doesn’t share much common political ground with Lieu, responded to Lieu’s post, writing: “Bill Barr is a liar and should be called to testify.” (Read more from “Matt Gaetz Joins Democrat Calling for Bill Barr Testimony After Epstein Video “Contradiction” HERE)

Newly Released Epstein Files Drag Trump’s Former Inner Circle Back Into Spotlight

The latest release of Jeffrey Epstein-related records has shed new light on the breadth of the disgraced financier’s relationships with influential figures connected to President Donald Trump, even years after Epstein’s initial arrest and conviction on state prostitution charges.

The Justice Department’s newly published tranche—part of a court-ordered disclosure mandated by Congress—includes more than three million pages of documents, along with tens of thousands of emails, photos, and videos. While many of the materials contain unverified or unsubstantiated claims, the sheer volume has reignited scrutiny of Epstein’s social and political reach and the government’s handling of the case.

Trump himself has long maintained that he severed ties with Epstein well before Epstein’s 2019 death by suicide while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. The president has not been accused of any proven wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, and no direct evidence implicating him in sex trafficking or abuse has emerged from the latest release. Nevertheless, Trump’s name appears frequently in the documents—tens of thousands of times across thousands of files—often in news articles Epstein circulated or in tips submitted to federal authorities.

The Justice Department has emphasized that inclusion in the files does not equate to evidence of illegal activity. By law, the department is required to release documents even when they include unproven allegations. Some materials remain redacted, though officials have not provided a detailed explanation of what was withheld or why roughly two-and-a-half million pages have yet to be released, a delay that has fueled accusations of a potential cover-up.

Beyond Trump, the files highlight continued contact between Epstein and several prominent figures associated with the president’s orbit. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick are among those whose names appear in correspondence showing friendly exchanges with Epstein after his conviction. None of the documents released so far provide direct evidence that any of them engaged in criminal conduct.

Emails included in the release show Epstein maintaining casual, even cordial, relationships. In one 2019 exchange, Epstein asked Bannon whether he had received an Apple Watch sent as a Christmas gift and later invited him to visit New York. Bannon replied that he was in Texas “building a wall.” Other records suggest a closer relationship between Epstein and Musk than Musk has publicly acknowledged, including a 2012 email in which Musk asked Epstein about upcoming parties and expressed interest in socializing rather than a “peaceful island experience.”

The files also contain a wide array of claims—many unverifiable—about powerful figures across politics, business, and royalty. Individuals such as Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, and Lord Mandelson are mentioned, all of whom have denied wrongdoing. Some documents reveal Epstein privately expressing contempt for Trump in messages to author Michael Wolff, underscoring the complicated and shifting nature of their past relationship.

Among the most serious allegations involving Trump are FBI notes summarizing tips and claims, including references to a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault when the accuser was a minor and an interview in which an Epstein victim alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell once introduced her to Trump at a party. Trump has repeatedly denied all such accusations, and there is no public evidence that the FBI deemed these claims credible. The Justice Department has stated that the allegations against the president contained in the documents are false.

Speaking from the Oval Office this week, Trump urged the public to “move on” from Epstein, saying he had not personally reviewed the millions of pages released. Political analysts note that, so far, the disclosures have not delivered definitive revelations that would significantly alter Trump’s standing with either critics or supporters.

Disturbing Photo Shows Epstein, Pals Sitting Unfazed as Bikini Woman Crawls Under Table by Naked Baby Picture

Jeffrey Epstein and two other men act like it’s business as usual, seated at a table while a woman in a bikini crawls at their feet in a disturbing photo among the latest documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

It’s unclear who the woman is — she’s facing the wall in a white bikini below the table with her butt sticking out. . .

Also in the troubling snap is a creepy painting of a naked baby in a sink hanging on the wall.

Both the woman’s rear and the naked baby’s genitalia were blackened out before being publicly released. . .

It’s unknown where there photo was taken, but a bespectacled Epstein is sporting a white T-shirt and black sweat pants embroidered with the initials “LSJ,” likely referring to his private island of Little Saint James, also known as “Pedo Island.” (Read more from “Disturbing Photo Shows Epstein, Pals Sitting Unfazed as Bikini Woman Crawls Under Table by Naked Baby Picture” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Planned to See ‘All the Trump Boys’ in 2016 as Bombshell Emails Contradict President’s Timeline of Duo’s Friendship

Jeffrey Epstein had plans to visit “all the Trump boys” in 2016 — more than a decade after Donald Trump claimed their friendship ended.

The convicted s– offender, who died behind bars in 2019, sent an email about the visit to biotech venture capitalist Boris Nikolic in 2016. The message was included in the latest batch of files released by the Department of Justice related to the Epstein investigation.

“When are you back in NYC?” Nikolic wrote in an email dated Sunday, December 26, 2016, at 8:13 p.m.

“4th i’m in palm with all the trump boys. . = fun,” Epstein wrote in response only two minutes later.

Nikolic, who was named “successor executor” by Epstein in his will just two days before his death, replied, “Have fun!! Hope to see you on the 4th. I leave for SF on the 5th.” (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Planned to See ‘All the Trump Boys’ in 2016 as Bombshell Emails Contradict President’s Timeline of Duo’s Friendship” HERE)

Newly Released Epstein Files Reveal Further Ties to Israel

By Michael Arria. The release of more than 3 million new files connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein reveals further connections between the convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he plead guilty of sex crimes in 2008.

In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.

Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”

The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.

Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show

By The Palestine Chronicle. The Epstein files deepen scrutiny of his long-standing ties to Israeli political power, particularly through repeated contact with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Allegations of Israeli intelligence links appear in declassified FBI records, showing such claims were treated as a formal counter-intelligence concern, not fringe speculation.

Epstein retained elite access and protection long after his 2008 conviction, raising unresolved questions about impunity and institutional shielding.

Israel emerges in the files as a strategic node in Epstein’s global influence network, connecting US politics, Gulf elites, and international diplomacy.

Survivors say the document release still prioritizes power over accountability, exposing victims while leaving many enablers unnamed or legally untouched. (Read more from “Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show” HERE)
