While taking questions from reporters after her closed-door deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Thursday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was asked why Ghislaine Maxwell — the convicted sex-trafficker and Jeffrey Epstein’s former mistress — was a guest at her daughter’s wedding in 2010.

“Why was Ghislaine Maxwell at Chelsea’s wedding?” the former secretary was asked shortly after the deposition wrapped up. “She came as plus one with a guest who was invited,” Clinton responded shortly before the press conference wrapped up.

An explosive, newly released Department of Justice (DOJ) email has revealed that federal prosecutors were secretly investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s death as a “murder,” despite publicly claiming that the convicted child predator died from suicide.

The bombshell discovery has reignited fierce debate over what really happened inside a federal jail cell in 2019.

The email is part of the latest document tranche released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Copies of the documents have quickly gone viral across social media platforms, fueling fresh skepticism about the government’s long-standing claim that Epstein “killed himself.”

PBS’s Washington Week with The Atlantic remains a reliably Democrat-boosting/Republican-bashing political roundtable, but this Friday, the show featured a tiny, overdue peek into an under-covered angle of the sordid Jeffrey Epstein saga, which thus far the media has used as a cudgel against President Donald Trump and the Republican-controlled Congress.

It turns out Democrats have their own hypocritical partisan reasons for not pursuing the Epstein case, according to a story by Sarah Fitzpatrick of The Atlantic magazine, going back to the elitist media’s favorite power couple, the Clintons.

During his Friday deposition before the House Oversight Committee, former President Bill Clinton threw cold water on Democratic hopes that could link President Donald Trump to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

In a video posted to X, House Oversight chairman James Comer said that Clinton said that “the president, Trump, has never said anything to me to make me think he was involved, and he meant with Epstein.”

A Republican member of Congress is raising explosive new allegations about Jeffrey Epstein’s operation, arguing that it was far more than a simple trafficking ring.

After sitting through closed-door testimony from former President Bill Clinton, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) said she believes Epstein was running what she described as an “intelligence-gathering operation.”

“Jeffrey Epstein was running an intelligence gathering operation, in my professional opinion,” Luna said during a press conference.

“I do believe it was a honeypot operation.

The former Prime Minister of Norway has been rushed to hospital after a reported suicide attempt.

Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised on Tuesday, February 24, just a few days after he was charged with serious corruption offences, linked to his association with paedophile Epstein. Reports of Jagland attempting suicide were denied by his lawyer.

Jagland was charged with “gross corruption” after newly released documents appeared to reveal a transactional relationship between the ex-PM and convicted paedophile, between 2011 and 2018. Some Norwegian outlets have reported a suicide attempt, but the high-profile statesman’s legal team has insisted he was rushed to the hospital due to extreme stress instead of a deliberate act.

House members are eyeing a new phase in their monthslong investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein: a race to produce results that match the stunning Epstein fallout across the globe and satisfy an electorate clamoring for accountability.

Peter Attia, a physician and prominent voice in the field of longevity science, has stepped down from his role as a contributor to CBS News after newly released government records revealed extensive communications between him and Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. The departure came weeks after Attia had been added to the network’s roster as part of an editorial overhaul.

CBS News announced Attia’s hiring on January 28 of this year, alongside 18 other contributors in a move overseen by editor in chief Bari Weiss. The additions were presented as an effort to expand the network’s expertise in health and science coverage. Within days, however, the Department of Justice released millions of pages of documents tied to its long-running investigation into Epstein, under the requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Attia’s name appeared repeatedly in the materials.

Now rotting away in an aircraft yard in Georgia, newly released footage shows the plane deteriorating on an outdoor tarmac, its structure corroding and worn after long exposure to the elements. The new images have revealed the plane’s current state, which is a far cry from its days carrying high-profile passengers, including former President Bill Clinton.

LONDON — British police forces are working together to assess potential crimes revealed in documents from the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations of wrongdoing by the former Prince Andrew.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council, which brings together police leaders from across the U.K., said on Wednesday that it had set up a national coordination group to support forces looking into issues arising from the more than 3 million pages of documents released late last month.

“It may take some time due to the volume of material and the complexity of international jurisdictions, but policing and its law enforcement partners are taking this matter extremely seriously, and will assess all information thoroughly,” the council said in a statement.

PARIS — Paris prosecutors opened on Wednesday two new investigations into potential sex abuse crimes and financial wrongdoings linked to Jeffrey Epstein following the release of millions of files of the millionaire financier and convicted sex offender, and called on possible victims to come forward.

Paris prosecutor Laurence Beccuau said the investigations are seeking to use the files released by the U.S. administration, media reports and new complaints that are being filed.

“All that data … some will shed light on others to be able to get a well-informed, very broad, panoramic view,” Beccuau said on France Info news broadcaster.

Juliette Bryant says she first met Jeffrey Epstein when she was a 20-year-old psychology and philosophy student in Cape Town, South Africa, who modeled part time.

Her first interaction with the late American sex offender came by chance, when she was approached on a night out by a girl who offered to introduce her to a man who she said was described to her as American royalty.

“She said she knew a man who was here who was the ‘King Of America,’ and he was here with Bill Clinton and Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker. She told me that his best friend Leslie Wexner owns Victoria’s Secret and it would be a very good idea for me to meet them because it could possibly help with my modeling career,” Bryant told CBS News on Sunday. “So we went along to the restaurant where they were having dinner down the road. And sure enough, there they were. Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Jeffrey Epstein, and a few government officials from South Africa.”

WikiLeaks published tens of thousands of leaked emails from the personal account of John Podesta, former President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, in late 2016.

The decentralized army of sleuths that subsequently combed over the leaked emails found not only damning insights into Hillary Clinton and her doomed presidential campaign but odd messages about pizza, hot dogs, ice cream, and other foods.

‘842 occurrences of the word pizza, which seems like a lot.’

Officials have launched a sweeping new investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s remote New Mexico compound after new allegations emerged in files released by the Department of Justice that suggested murdered victims may have been buried on land surrounding the property.

The probe into Epstein’s Zorro Ranch could expose some of the darkest allegations yet tied to the disgraced financier’s criminal network.

For years, public attention focused on Epstein’s “Pedophile Island” in the Caribbean and his seven-story “House of Horrors” townhouse in New York.
