Jeffrey Epstein’s creepy $5,000 custom chess set surfaces — with him as the king

A bizarre custom chess set commissioned by late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein has come to light, featuring the disgraced financier and nine attractive young women striking suggestive poses as every piece on the board.

Photos obtained by TMZ show the pieces, including a likeness of Epstein himself sporting a gilded crown and a black and white robe for each respective side’s king.

The project took several months to make, starting when a handful of women in their 20s visited a New York City photo shop in 2016 and requested a shoot that would be the basis for a set of chess pieces, according to the outlet.

The women made several return trips to the shop for additional photos, always dressed to the nines, taking around 600 pics in all, the publication reported. The shop then made 3D sculptures based on the photos for a complete set of 36 pieces, including pawns, rooks, knights, bishops and queens.

The ladies claimed they belonged to a chess club but wouldn’t elaborate on who the president was, the outlet said.

Mysterious new statue of Epstein and Trump holding hands appears in DC

A massive statue depicting Donald Trump and late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein holding hands has appeared on the National Mall as the months-long Epstein Files saga continues to haunt the administration.

The 12-foot statue — a combination of foam, resin, wood and wire — shows Trump and Epstein standing on pedestals, holding hands and smiling at one another as they appear about to frolic through the park toward the Washington Monument in Washington, DC.

Below the statue, there are three plaques, two of which contain excerpts from the bawdy birthday letter Trump allegedly wrote Epstein for his 50th birthday.

A copy of the letter, featuring a hand-drawn figure of a naked woman along with the president’s reported signature, was made public this month by the House Oversight Committee. Trump has denied any involvement with the letter, even suing the Wall Street Journal, which first published a report about it for $10 billion, claiming that “no authentic letter or drawing exists.”

The statue appeared early Tuesday morning in honor of Friendship Month. It will remain there until Saturday, a spokesperson for The Secret Handshake, an anonymous group of fewer than five individuals who put up the statue, told The Independent. The statue is about “celebrating the friendship of these real men.”

A White House spokesperson denounced the National Mall’s new addition, telling The Independent in a statement: “Liberals are free to waste their money however they see fit – but it’s not news that Epstein knew Donald Trump, because Donald Trump kicked Epstein out of his club for being a creep. Democrats, the media, and the organization that’s wasting their money on this statue knew about Epstein and his victims for years and did nothing to help them while President Trump was calling for transparency, and is now delivering on it with thousands of pages of documents.”

‘SUPREME FRIEND’: Sarah Ferguson, Under Fire, Has Patronage Removed from Four Charities – Email Surfaces of Duchess of York Telling Epstein She Was Lying When She Disowned Him

The ‘Epstein curse’ caught up to Fergie.

Over the decades, the sexual exploits and shady business deals of the Duchess of York were every bit as bad and scandalous as those perpetrated by her disgraced former husband, Prince Andrew.

It was only when the Jeffrey Epstein scandal hit overdrive, and with the sequence of lies told by ‘randy Andy’ that he eclipsed her in the outrage department.

But now, Fergie is back, under fire for her very own Epstein ties, and her very own lies.

A few weeks ago, during her DOJ interviews, Ghislaine Maxwell stated that it was Ferguson who introduced Epstein to Andrew.

Maxwell also stated that the Duchess of York was trying to ‘put the moves’ on Epstein.

But an email from 2011 has recently surfaced that really sent Fergie into the doghouse, in which she called the late sex Epstein her ‘supreme friend’.

The reaction was swift: the Duchess of York has been removed as patron of four charities.

BBC reported:

“Julia’s House, a children’s hospice charity serving families in Dorset and Wiltshire, was the first to remove Sarah Ferguson, the former wife of Prince Andrew, saying it was ‘inappropriate’ for her to continue in the role.

Later on Monday, the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, the Children’s Literacy Charity and Prevent Breast Cancer also announced they had dropped the duchess as patron.”

More Epstein Papers Released; Mystery Names Unmasked

Congressional Investigation Gains Momentum Under New Leadership

The House Oversight Committee’s aggressive pursuit of Epstein documents represents a dramatic shift from the previous administration’s reluctance to fully investigate elite corruption networks.

Under Republican leadership, the committee has successfully pressured Epstein’s estate to comply with subpoenas that had languished for years.

The newly released materials include names that were previously blacked out, suggesting federal agencies may have been protecting certain individuals from public scrutiny.

This development comes as no surprise to Americans who witnessed the Biden administration’s pattern of protecting establishment figures while targeting political opponents.

The previous Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein case raised serious questions about selective enforcement and whether certain elites received preferential treatment.

Now, congressional Republicans are demonstrating the kind of oversight that should have happened years ago.

Elite Protection Racket Finally Exposed

The timing of these document releases reveals the extent to which powerful interests worked to suppress damaging information during the Biden years. For too long, Americans watched as obvious corruption went uninvestigated while resources were wasted on politically motivated prosecutions.

The fact that these documents existed but remained hidden demonstrates how the deep state apparatus functioned to protect connected elites at the expense of justice for victims.

What’s particularly disturbing is how the previous administration seemed more interested in covering up elite misconduct than pursuing accountability.

While ordinary Americans faced unprecedented government overreach and surveillance, those with the right connections enjoyed protection from scrutiny. This two-tiered justice system exemplified everything wrong with the swamp mentality that Trump voters rejected twice at the ballot box.

Former AG Bill Barr floats his own theory as he explains possible Jeffrey Epstein-CIA links to Congress

Former Attorney General William Barr told Congress that late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s long-rumored links to intelligence agencies could be explained by the fact that the CIA has a special division that “talks to people who are well-connected.” 

“Many American businessmen who have foreign contacts sometimes will talk to intelligence agencies and provide information to them. And the CIA has a unit that goes around and talks to people who are well-connected and asks them questions,” Barr told the House Oversight Committee in an August deposition.

“So my supposition, when I saw things about him being connected to U.S. intelligence, maybe, like many other businessmen, he talks to them, but this is not, in my opinion, based on what I saw, I didn’t think it was an intelligence operation, and I never received any information that led me to believe that.”

The former attorney general said that he doesn’t believe that the pedophile was formally “working for” the agency, according to a transcript made public Tuesday.

The CIA did not immediately offer comment for this story.

Barr started his career working for six years at the CIA in the 1970s and served two stints as attorney general, first from 1991 to 1993 under President George H.W. Bush, a former CIA director, and then under President Trump in 2019 and 2020.

FBI signature expert doubts Trump personally signed letter to Epstein: ‘Highly unlikely’

The retired FBI agent whom the bureau relied on for decades to analyze handwritten signatures in cases ranging from financial ripoffs to Russian spies is casting serious doubt that President Donald Trump hand-signed a two-decade-old birthday letter to the late Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting the first-name-only signature may have been artificially affixed.

Wayne Barnes, widely regarded as one of the nation’s premier signature experts, analyzed the Trump signature at the request of Just the News after the House Oversight Committee released a photocopy of the letter in Epstein’s 50th birthday book from the early 2000s.

Democrats immediately pounced on the revelation even though the president has adamantly denied writing or signing the letter, which has a sexually suggestive message imposed over a sketch of a woman’s body.

The paper itself upon which the signature was placed was a giveaway 

Barnes wrote in a detailed analysis report for Just the News that the signature appears similar to ones in letters that Trump signed for personal friends over the years when using only his first name. But the expert said he noticed a stunning clue when looking at the copy released by Congress and other personal letters: the coloration of the paper.

“Whoever created the dialogue page seems to have put a good deal of thought into it, but something was overlooked,” Barnes wrote. “By far, the pages where Mr. Trump signs with his first name only, are outgoing letters where there is some coloration to the paper used. It is off-white or yellow-to-beige, but it never seems to be white.

“That means that if someone cut out an appliqué of the ‘Donald’ signature and tried to affix (paste or tape) it to a piece of white paper, the difference in color around the ‘Donald’ would stand out. So, the colored paper had to be photocopied onto a white page, so the trimming around the signature could take place and not be observed because of a different tone of the paper,” he wrote. 

“This would mean that the ultimate color of the target paper used, on which to place the applique, would also have to be white, which is the case with the dialogue page in the birthday book,” he added.

EPSTEIN CURSE IN THE UK: Fired US Ambassador Lord Peter Mandelson Is Ousted From His Own Lobbying Firm, Loses University of Manchester Honors

A reduced version of Prince Andrew’s fall from grace is ongoing with Mandelson.

Like we have been reporting here on TGP since December 2024, the long and close relationship between Labour peer Lord Peter Mandelson and the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein made him a very poor choice for a British Ambassador to the US – not to talk about his reportedly shady EU and China ties.

In January, reports arose of pushback on the part of the Donald J. Trump administration, who much preferred Dame Karen Pierce as the Washington envoy.

These reports have partially been confirmed since Trump invited Pierce to a state banquet during his upcoming UK state visit – and not Mandelson.

Revealed: 100 new Epstein emails ‘that could destroy’ Prince Andrew: Cache of ‘devastating’ messages between the Duke and convicted paedophile unearthed in US probe

Prince Andrew could be ‘destroyed’ by a cache of more than 100 secret emails contained in the Epstein Files, The Mail on Sunday has been told.

Multiple well-placed sources have revealed that potentially ‘incriminating’ emails between the Duke of York and the convicted paedophile are contained in hundreds of thousands of documents currently being reviewed by the US Congress before they are made public.

One source said: ‘If you think what’s happened to Peter Mandelson is bad then you have no idea what will happen when the Andrew emails are released. They are embarrassing and incriminating and he could be destroyed.’

Lord Mandelson was fired as British ambassador to Washington last week after a string of embarrassing emails between himself and Epstein were released. 

In one, ‘Petie’ urged the billionaire to fight back against his conviction for soliciting a child for prostitution. 

David Boies, the high-powered lawyer who represented Andrew’s accuser Virginia Giuffre, says he believes there is enough evidence to open a criminal investigation into the prince.

Andrew vehemently and consistently denied Ms Giuffre’s claims that she was sex-trafficked to him by Epstein. 

In 2022, the duke reached a reported £12 million civil settlement with Ms Giuffre – who committed suicide earlier this year – with no admission of guilt.

Several embarrassing emails between Andrew and Epstein have already been revealed in legal papers over the years, including one in which the prince said: ‘Keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!’

That email, from February 2011, was unearthed in court documents from a case brought by the Financial Conduct Authority against Epstein’s personal banker Jes Staley.

Legal documents said the email was sent ‘by a member of the British Royal Family’, which the BBC and others widely reported was Prince Andrew.

When Ms Giuffre, previously known as Virginia Roberts, first made claims against the duke he fired off an email to his close friend Ghislaine Maxwell, who was subsequently jailed for her role as a child sex trafficker for Epstein. 

In the message, sent on January 3, 2015, he said: ‘Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about Virginia Roberts.’

Maxwell replied: ‘Have some info. Call me when you have a moment.’

The MoS understands that there are ‘at least’ 100 emails involving Andrew contained within the Epstein files. 

Some come from an account with Pipex, one of the UK’s first commercial internet providers. That email address is listed alongside multiple phone numbers for the duke found in Epstein’s infamous ‘little black book’.

Epstein’s Inbox Lays Out Gift Networks, PR Tactics, And Strange Habits

Nearly two weeks ago the House Oversight Committee released a trove of emails related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Today Bloomberg revealed they have obtained over 18,000 more – and dedicated a fleet of journalists to sift through them – with what we imagine was an effort to find dirt on President Donald Trump. 

And while mentions of Trump are scant, the emails reveal a vast network of gifts spanning Epstein victims, recruiters, and associates. 

Trump Stuff

Donald Trump is mentioned a few times in the cache; he appears alongside Epstein and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago in 2000, and in a 2003 New York Magazine–described dinner Maxwell arranged at Epstein’s townhouse with “barely clad models”; in a Sept. 14, 2006 email in which Maxwell sends Epstein a 51-name VIP list that includes Trump – to which Epstein replies “Remove trump,” with the list’s purpose unclear. On Aug. 23, 2007 Maxwell writes to Epstein that reporters likely “went to donald trump” as the Epstein investigation into his sex crimes intensified.

And there’s one message recounting Trump and Epstein’s real-estate rivalry over Abe Gosman’s former mansion (which Trump ultimately bought). 

The correspondence, most active from 2005 to 2008, includes a 2007 accountant’s spreadsheet itemizing nearly 2,000 gifts, purchases and payments totaling about $1.8 million. Many entries bear Maxwell’s initials, “GM,” indicating she helped arrange them. The records log intended recipients ranging from political aides and financiers to assistants and women who later identified as victims. The spreadsheet does not confirm whether gifts were actually delivered or accepted.

The emails also show Maxwell’s role was broader than she has publicly claimed.

Senate Republicans defeat Democrats’ effort to force the release of Epstein files

In a close vote, Senate Republicans defeated an effort Wednesday by Democrats to insert language into Congress’ annual defense authorization bill that would have forced the public release of case files on the sex trafficking investigation into the late Jeffrey Epstein.

The Senate voted 51-49 to dismiss the changes to the bill, with Republican Sens. Josh Hawley of Missouri and Rand Paul of Kentucky joining with all Democrats in opposition.

For months, Democrats have clamored for the release of what’s become known as the Epstein files, looking for practically every opportunity to force Republicans to either join their push for disclosure or publicly oppose a cause that many in the Republican base support. President Donald Trump signaled as he was running for president that he was open to releasing a full accounting of the case, but is now trying to dismiss the push as a “Democrat hoax.”

So far, Democrats have been successful in forcing Republican leadership to grapple with the issue, yet it was unclear whether they would actually be able to crack Trump’s hold on congressional Republicans to force legislation through Congress.
