/3 Comments/in , /by

The disgraced former Prince Andrew unsettlingly asked Jeffrey Epstein for further information about a young Russian woman that the pedophile financier said he would introduce to the royal, the latest released files show.

Epstein had offered to introduce him to “Irina,” a “beautiful” 26-year-old Russian woman, just two years after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution.

“I have a friend who i think you might enjoy having dinner with, her name is irina she will be london 20-24,” Epstein wrote in an email dated Aug. 11, 2010, to an account called “The Duke,” which is believed to belong to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

“Of course. I am in Geneva until the morning of 22nd but would be delighted to see her. Will she be bringing a message from you?” Andrew wrote in response on Aug. 12, before telling Epstein to give her his contact details.

“Great. Any other information you might know about her that might be useful to know?” Andrew wrote in a subsequent email. (Read more from “Ex-Prince Andrew’s Creepy Reply to Jeffrey Epstein — After Pedo Offered Him Meeting With Young Russian Woman” HERE)

Anti-Aging Physician Peter Attia Swapped Hundreds of Friendly Emails With Jeffrey Epstein

/1 Comment/in , /by

Anti-aging physician and newly named CBS News contributor Peter Attia swapped hundreds of chummy, eyebrow-raising emails with Jeffrey Epstein — including once joking that female genitals counted as a “low carb.”

The disturbing correspondence came to light just days after the celebrity doctor was named as one of the network’s 19 new contributors.

The emails were included in the trove of 3 million documents released by the Department of Justice Friday, as mandated by the “Epstein Files Transparency Act.” Attia is mentioned in the files 1,741 times.

In stomach-churning missives, the controversial anti-aging physician frequently asked after Epstein’s wellbeing and alluded to the convicted sex offender’s “outrageous” lifestyle.

“You [know] the biggest problem with becoming friends with you? The life you lead is so outrageous, and yet I can’t tell a soul…” Attia wrote in one 2015 email — with the chilling subject line “Got a fresh shipment.”

A photo of the referenced “shipment” was redacted. (Read more from “Anti-Aging Physician Peter Attia Swapped Hundreds of Friendly Emails With Jeffrey Epstein” HERE)

Epstein Helped Fund Lavish Lifestyle For Former Obama WH Counsel

/8 Comments/in , /by

Jeffrey Epstein helped fund a lavish lifestyle for former Obama White House Counsel and current Goldman Sachs general counsel Kathryn Ruemmler, who he sometimes turned to for legal advice, newly released records show.

Epstein purchased a number of gifts for Ruemmler between 2014 and 2019, including designer bags worth thousands and electronics, while regularly putting down his credit card to cover experiences like facials, haircuts and spa days.

Among these gifts, Epstein purchased a $9,350 Hermes bag, a $6,790 Fendi coat and bag, as well as putting in requests for items like blue silk slippers, an Apple TV and an Apple watch. He had alerts set up on his email at times to send her flowers or purchase sushi, emails show.

A recently unsealed court filing in a civil lawsuit brought by Epstein victims suggested Ruemmler advised Epstein on legal matters, including relating to maintaining his 2008 non-prosecution agreement and public statements to the media, CNN reported Jan. 20. Ruemmler previously told CNN she “did not represent him and was not compensated by him.”

“I was one of a number of lawyers Epstein informally reached out to for advice,” Ruemmler told the outlet in December.

Previously released email correspondence revealed Ruemmler consulted Epstein when deciding whether to accept an offer to become Obama’s attorney general, as well as on smaller problems like whether she should travel first-class or business on a trip to Dubai.

DOJ Removes New Epstein Files That Mention Wild Trump Allegations, Including Rape; Justice Department Says Files Include ‘Untrue and Sensationalist Claims Against President Trump’

/2 Comments/in , /by

By Mediaite. Among the latest Epstein files dump is a list of wild complaints made with the FBI that include wild allegations against President Donald Trump and others from uncorroborated tips. . .

It should be noted that these complaints are uncorroborated tips to the FBI, and the existence of those tips does not indicate eventual credibility. . .

Since their original publication, the complaints mentioning Trump have been removed from the DOJ website with a “page not found” message being given to people trying to search for them. The complaints, however, have been widely copied and shared on social media.

CNN’s Jake Tapper was among those who noted the DOJ pulling the files.

In a complaint made by a friend, the president was accused of forcing a 13-14-year-old to perform oral sex on him. (Read more from “DOJ Removes New Epstein Files That Mention Wild Trump Allegations, Including Rape” HERE)

New Epstein Files Dump Includes Alleged Request From Elon Musk to Visit Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island

By Mediaite. Friday’s release of 3.5 million additional documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex crimes included an alleged request from Elon Musk to visit Epstein over the holidays in 2013. . .

A search of the documents for “Elon Musk” revealed multiple emails to and from [email protected], which was known to be Epstein’s private email address.

Elon Musk’s name appearing in the files does not necessarily indicate any wrongdoing.

In one email exchange on Dec. 14, 2013 with a subject line “Christmas and New Year’s,” Musk allegedly wrote, “Will be in the BVI/St Bart’s area over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit?”

Epstein’s account answered several hours later, “I will send a heli for you. Sorry for all the typos..Sent from my iPhone.” (Read more from “ew Epstein Files Dump Includes Alleged Request From Elon Musk to Visit Jeffrey Epstein’s Infamous Island” HERE)

Justice Department Says Files Include ‘Untrue and Sensationalist Claims Against President Trump’

By The Guardian. On Friday, as Trump’s justice department moved to comply, at least in part, with the law by releasing millions of files from the federal investigations into Epstein, it has released at least some unverified allegations against him from those files.

One of the documents getting the most attention online is an email from 2020 that includes uncorroborated tips about Trump’s own alleged involvement with Epstein’s victims that were made to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

The document, which was briefly inaccessible after it was posted, has been described as “incriminating Trump” by some critics, but the justice department provided a statement to the Guardian calling these uncorroborated tips “fake”.

Here is the justice department statement to the Guardian:

This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act. Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.

Former Besties? Epstein Files Dump Includes Melania Trump’s Email to Ghislaine Maxwell — as Journalists Dig Dirt on ‘Melania Boyfriend’

/2 Comments/in , /by

The Jeffrey Epstein file dump on Friday included an email exchange between Melania Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell, where the now-convict called the future first lady “sweet pea.”

The note about getting together in New York City was dated October 23, 2002 and was among the three million documents the Justice Department released on Friday as part of the Epstein investigation. . .

In the email, where she calls Maxwell “G,” Melania mentions the now infamous New York magazine profile of Epstein, in which Donald Trump famously said the billionaire pedophile liked women “on the younger side.”

“Dear GI How are you? Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture,” she wrote. “I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania”

Maxwell responded, calling Melania “sweet pea.”

“Sweet pea – thanks for your message. Actually plans changed again and I am now on my way back to NY. I leave again on Fri so I still do not think I have time to see you sadly. I will try and call though,” she wrote. (Read more from “Former Besties?

‘Unknown’ Epstein Victim Told DOJ of Accomplice ‘100x Worse Than Maxwell,’ Latest Files Dump Reveals; Epstein Claimed Bill Gates Caught STD From ‘Sex With Russian Girls,’ Slipped Melinda Antibiotics in Latest Files Released by DOJ

/2 Comments/in , /by

By New York Post. A woman calling herself an “unknown” victim of Jeffrey Epstein contacted the Justice Department in November 2021 to make allegations about a man she said was “100x worse” than Ghislaine Maxwell, newly released emails show.

Jean-Luc Brunel, a French modeling agent and longtime Epstein friend, “for 40 years traffic[ked] women internationally,” the tipster wrote, more than four months after Brunel was arrested in France for allegedly raping girls.

“He is 100x worse than Maxwell. Maxwell is bad and guilty but she is nothing compared to him. If you are interested in more information or stories about them/Maxwell please let me know,” the woman wrote. “I was a victim of them and MANY others they all knew.”

It’s unclear if the Justice Department contacted the woman, whose name was redacted in documents.

Brunel was found dead in his French jail cell in February 2022. Authorities said he hanged himself. (Read more from “‘Unknown’ Epstein Victim Told DOJ of Accomplice ‘100x Worse Than Maxwell,’ Latest Files Dump Reveals” HERE)

Epstein claimed Bill Gates caught STD from ‘sex with Russian girls,’ slipped Melinda antibiotics in latest files released by DOJ

By New York Post. Jeffrey Epstein claimed in July 2013 that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, one of the world’s richest men, asked one of his advisers to provide him with medicine to treat sexually transmitted diseases — the consequences of “sex with Russian girls.”

The late convicted pedophile’s stunning allegations — which were rejected as “completely false” by a Gates’s spokesperson — were included in a tranche of 3.5 million pages of documents released by the Justice Department Friday. . .

“During the past few weeks I have been caught up in a severe marital dispute between Melinda and Bill,” Epstein wrote in Nikolic’s voice on July 18, 2013.

“… In my role as his right hand I had been asked on mulitple occassion [sic] and in hindsight, wrongly acquiesced into participating in things that have ranged from the morally inappropriate, to the ethically unsound and had been repeatedly asked to do other things that get near and potentially over the line into the illegal,” Epstein continued.

“… From helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls, to facilictating [sic] his illicit trysts, with married women, to being asked to provide adderall [for] bridge [tournaments] . I feel I owe it to my friends and futre [sic] colleagues to admit a moral failure , to ask forgiveness and to move on with my life.” (Read m ore from “Epstein claimed Bill Gates caught STD from ‘sex with Russian girls,’ slipped Melinda antibiotics in latest files released by DOJ” HERE)

Top Federal Prosecutors ‘Crushed’ by Epstein Files Workload

/12 Comments/in , , /by

By Politico. The premier federal prosecutors’ office in the country is consumed by the task of reviewing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to four people familiar with the matter and internal memos obtained by POLITICO.

Virtually every prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who isn’t handling an imminent or ongoing trial — including some who are working on other major cases — has been tasked with helping to review more than two million files to redact information about Epstein’s sex-trafficking victims. Even the high-ranking executive staff and unit chiefs are poring over the documents, often working weekends.

Prosecutors are being “crushed by the work,” said one person familiar with the matter, who, like others quoted in this article, was granted anonymity to discuss internal processes. And while people in the office hope the task will take no longer than a few more weeks, no one is really sure when it will be completed.

The scale of the review has raised questions about whether the task is stretching prosecutors too thin and pushing other work to the back burner in an office that regularly handles some of the country’s most important white-collar, terrorism and financial crimes cases.

Even several of the prosecutors working on the narco-terrorism and drug trafficking case against deposed Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, perhaps the most prominent prosecution in the justice system at the moment, are also assigned to work on the Epstein documents, according to a person familiar with the matter.

What else can be done to force Trump’s DoJ to release all the Epstein files? Legal experts weigh in

By The Guardian. For months, the 2025 news cycle was dominated by the disgraced financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Public outrage over the continued secrecy surrounding Epstein investigative files – which Donald Trump failed to release fully early in his second term, despite campaign promises – was growing.

Federal lawmakers took matters into their own hands: they issued a spate of subpoenas related to the late child sex trafficker, releasing batches of files that renewed attention to his connections to high-profile individuals on both sides of the political spectrum. Congress ultimately passed legislation mandating that the Department of Justice release these files by 19 December, with Trump signing this bill into law.

But that deadline came and went, with Trump’s justice department making a mere fraction of the total disclosures required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA). These scant releases have so far failed to lift the veil on how Epstein operated with impunity for years.

Now, the big Epstein-related news is that there is no major Epstein news. Nothing has happened of late that has meaningfully moved the needle toward transparency for victims and advocates, renewing questions about what comes next. Releases of new documents have ceased in recent weeks. (Read more from “What else can be done to force Trump’s DoJ to release all the Epstein files? Legal experts weigh in” HERE)

Judge Rejects Bid for Independent Oversight of DOJ’s Epstein Files Release

/7 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge has rejected an effort by two lawmakers to place independent oversight on the Justice Department’s release of records related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, even as he acknowledged ongoing concerns about whether the department is complying with federal law.

U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York ruled Wednesday that he lacks the authority to appoint an independent monitor to oversee the release of the Epstein files, as requested by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.). In a seven-page opinion, Engelmayer said his judicial role is limited to supervising the criminal case involving Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell and does not extend to monitoring the Justice Department’s compliance with disclosure requirements under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

“I do not have any charter to supervise whether DOJ is meeting its legal obligations” under the law, Engelmayer wrote.

However, the judge made clear that his decision does not close the door on further legal action. He noted that Khanna, Massie, and Epstein’s victims “raise legitimate concerns about whether DOJ is faithfully complying with federal law” and said the lawmakers are free to pursue a separate lawsuit over the matter.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act, authored by Khanna and Massie, became law late last year and required the Justice Department to release its unclassified Epstein-related files by Dec. 19. The DOJ has since acknowledged that it is reviewing millions of documents connected to Epstein and his associates, but only a small portion of material has been released so far.

The lawmakers have accused the department of slow-walking the process and excessively redacting information. They have also alleged that DOJ has withdrawn documents it previously made public and has improperly blamed the courts for delays and redactions.

According to their court filings, Khanna and Massie argue that the Justice Department has cited judicial requirements as the reason for withholding information, when courts have merely instructed DOJ to ensure that released materials do not improperly identify victims. They contend the department has repeatedly failed to meet the law’s disclosure requirements.

Ghislaine Maxwell To Appear Before Congress In Epstein Investigation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ghislaine Maxwell has agreed to appear before the House Oversight Committee in February.

Maxwell is set to testify on Feb. 9 as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer revealed during a markup of contempt resolutions against former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The former Epstein confidant, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking alongside Epstein — who died in 2019 before facing trial on federal sex-trafficking charges — will provide her testimony virtually, a Oversight Committee spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller.

“Her lawyers have made it clear that she’s going to plead the Fifth,” Comer told Fox News Digital. “I hope she changes her mind, because I want to hear from her.”

The spokesperson told the Caller that Maxwell is expected to “take the fifth” during the deposition before the committee.

What’s Going on With the Epstein Files? A Month After Deadline, the Vast Majority of Materials Remain Unreleased

/0 Comments/in , /by

More than a month has passed since the deadline for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release all its files related to the investigations into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. And while the department has publicly shared thousands of documents since that date, those releases account for only a fraction of the materials it has in its possession—leaving the vast majority of the so-called “Epstein files” still unreleased.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed by Congress and signed into law by President Donald Trump in November, the DOJ was required to release all the Epstein files by Dec. 19. The department began releasing materials that day, but the Trump Administration admitted that it wouldn’t share all the documents by the deadline, claiming that the scale of redactions needed to protect victims’ identities would delay the full release. Since then, the department has released a few batches of documents related to the Epstein case. But it has been weeks since the most recent of those batches was made public, and earlier this month, top DOJ officials revealed that more than two million documents have yet to be shared, meaning that less than 1% of the Epstein files have been released.

The partial releases—and the heavy redactions made to many of the documents that have been made public—have sparked outcry from politicians, survivors of Epstein’s abuse, and the public. Days after the December deadline, lawmakers threatened to take action against the Trump Administration for not releasing all the documents in the case, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer slamming the DOJ for what he called a “blatant disregard of the law.”

Here’s what to know about the latest developments in the situation.

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California—the two lawmakers who co-wrote the Epstein Files Transparency Act—requested an independent expert to ensure that the DOJ complied with the federal law and released all its Epstein materials. But on Wednesday, a federal judge denied the request, saying that he didn’t have the jurisdiction to oversee the DOJ in this matter. (Read more from “What’s Going on With the Epstein Files? A Month After Deadline, the Vast Majority of Materials Remain Unreleased” HERE)
