22 People Connected To Jeffrey Epstein Have Died Under Mysterious Circumstances

Twenty-two people who were linked to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have died under mysterious circumstances.

Prior to his death in 2022 at 77, financier Steven Hoffenberg revealed in a final account to the National Enquirer that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted pedophile’s recruiting madam, had been “taping” honey-trap videos of VIPs with underage girls for a group of deep-state blackmailing power brokers.

Maxwell is serving 20 years for trafficking, but was moved to a cushy, minimum-security facility after meeting with Trump’s former personal lawyer.

Epstein died at 66 in August 2019. He was found hanging inside his New York City jail cell in what officials considered suicide, though his brother, Mark Epstein, believes he was murdered.

The late sex offender’s very last cellmate, Efrain “Stone” Reyes, died at 51 of COVID in November 2020, weeks after talking with federal investigators probing his cellmate’s death. Reyes was transferred out of Epstein’s cell one day before his death.

Three of Epstein’s accusers also suspiciously died, including Virginia Giuffre, who was found dead on April 25 due to an apparent suicide.

Acosta stands by Epstein’s ‘sweetheart deal’ during congressional hearing

Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who gave Jeffrey Epstein and an untold number of his co-conspirators immunity for sex trafficking dozens of underage girls, defended his decision not to prosecute Epstein during a closed-door congressional hearing Friday. The hearing, held by the House Oversight Committee, is the latest in a series of efforts by Congress to scrutinize how the late financier managed to get away with abusing hundreds of girls and young women over more than two decades — despite Epstein being on the FBI’s radar since 2006. The scandal continues to consume the Trump administration, which has been unable to satisfy public outrage over the Justice Department’s decision in July to not release all of its Epstein files. Most of the material the DOJ has released thus far has already been in the public domain. “It’s important to remember that this is a massive cover up,” said Rep. Yassamin Ansari. “There are many, many more people involved, financial institutions involved, potentially foreign governments involved, but this is one key part to getting to the bottom and getting to the answers that we need to get justice for the survivors.” Ansari and other Democratic congressional leaders, on a break from the hearing, described Acosta’s testimony as “defiant,” “unremorseful” and “evasive.” They said the former FIU law professor said Epstein’s victims weren’t credible — and that he didn’t believe that their stories of sexual assault would lead to a successful federal prosecution. Acosta “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost during the break. They said they also found it disturbing that, even in hindsight, Acosta would not admit that mistakes were made and was not apologetic about how his actions led to other victims being abused by Epstein. “There was a clear lack of remorse,” said Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat. “…This is someone who should at least acknowledge that he made a mistake … his memory faded whenever we asked pointed questions.” Acosta largely ignored questions from reporters on his way in and out of the hearing, but did stop to answer a question about FBI Director Kash Patel saying Tuesday that the plea deal was the “original sin” in the government’s handling of Epstein’s criminal case. “I’ve testified for six hours,” he said. “I’ll let the record speak for itself.” This is the first time that Acosta, 56, has testified under oath about his decision to give Epstein a plea deal. The agreement allowed Epstein to plead guilty to lesser prostitution charges in state court rather than be prosecuted for federal sex trafficking crimes that could have sent him to prison for life. Epstein was sentenced to 18 months in the county jail, but served just 13 months — most of it as a work-release inmate which allowed him to leave jail and go to his office in West Palm Beach almost every day. While he was monitored by Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputies, he was nevertheless able to have women come into his office, where he pressured them to have sex with him while a sheriff’s deputy was standing outside the door. Rep. Robert Garcia, the committee’s ranking Democrat, noted that they met with survivors last month and “one of the survivors that was there was very clear that she was abused and assaulted and raped by Jeffrey Epstein during his work release, and during that time when he was out during that 18-month period that was given to him by Mr. Acosta and his team.” Acosta, the representatives said, refused to characterize the plea bargain as a “sweetheart deal” — maintaining that even today he believes the deal was the best course of action.

UK Ambassador to US Peter Mandelson Fired over Jeffrey Epstein Ties Amid Emerging Emails

Prime Minister Keir Starmer requested Mandelson’s withdrawal, citing newly uncovered communications that showed Mandelson describing Epstein as “my best pal” and expressing support for Epstein even after his 2008 conviction. The emails reveal Mandelson encouraged Epstein to challenge the conviction and offered steadfast support despite the severity of Epstein’s crimes.

Mandelson, a senior Labour Party politician and former European Commissioner for Trade, expressed regret over his association with Epstein, calling the financier a “charismatic criminal liar” and showing sympathy toward Epstein’s victims.

The Foreign Ministry stated the revelation of Mandelson’s emails constituted new information that materially changed the understanding of his relationship with Epstein at the time of his appointment. Mandelson was immediately withdrawn from his ambassadorial post.

BOMBSHELL: Senior DOJ Epstein Investigator Reveals “Epstein Was CIA” – Confirms R*pes Occurred While Bill Clinton Was on the Plane

Senior Justice Department investigator Glenn Prager revealed Jeffrey Epstein was “CIA” and confirmed that rapes occurred while Bill Clinton was on the private plane.

The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released audio of Glenn Prager discussing the DOJ’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Prager served as an Inspector overseeing sensitive investigations involving the FBI, DEA, Bureau of Prisons, US Marshals Service, ATF and the US Attorney’s Offices.

Glenn Prager was overheard at a Phoenix airport dropping Epstein bombshells.

“I’ve interviewed all the victims, There’s never been an instance where Trump was on a plane with these kids and the rapes occurred. But that can’t be said for Clinton. And it can’t be said for others,” Glenn Prager was overheard saying at a Phoenix airport. “While the Clintons were on the plane, while Bill Clinton was on the plane, there were rapes that occurred.

“They [DOJ] didn’t want to go after him [Epstein] because he’s an asset for the United States and Israel,” he added.

Glenn Prager said Epstein was CIA.

“It’s not talked about yet but, it’s soon to come out that he [Epstein] was a CIA informant,” he said.

The Justice Department responded to the O’Keefe Media Group’s explosive reporting.

“This individual worked at the Department of Justice as a program analyst over fifteen years ago. He has no understanding of, or access to, the underlying facts in this investigation. His statements should not be considered accurate. It is disgusting that someone would further exploit victims of sexual abuse by fabricating stories for their personal benefit,” a DOJ spokesperson said.

Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Threatened to ‘Destroy’ Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew, Prompting the Duchess of York To Write Apologetic Email That Is Now Thrashing Her Reputation

Fergie alleges to have experienced the dark side of Epstein.

We are reporting on all the people around the world who are falling into disgrace because of their close ties to late pedophile and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Right now, controversial Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson is under fire for a resurfaced email she wrote Epstein in which she described him as a ‘steadfast, generous and supreme friend’.

Fergie also ‘humbly apologized’ for criticizing him in public, telling him she understood that he felt ‘hellaciously let down by [her]’.

As a result of the revelations, the Duchess has been dropped as a patron by several charities, such as Julia’s House (children’s hospice); Teenage Cancer Trust; Natasha Allergy Research Foundation; Children’s Literacy Charity; Prevent Breast Cancer; British Heart Foundation; National Foundation for Retired Service Animals.

So, now the York camp has gone to bat on the press, trying to justify her behavior – but it may well backfire and cause even more trouble.

Fergie’s spokesman has told The Telegraph that the incriminating email was a reaction to threats by Epstein, who vowed to ‘destroy her’ using a ‘Hannibal Lecter-style’ voice in a phone call.

“The Duchess’s spokesman told The Telegraph that Epstein was incensed by her description of him as a pedophile and made a ‘chilling’ phone call in which he threatened to take legal action.

‘People don’t understand how terrible Epstein was. I can remember everything about that call. It was a chilling call and I’m surprised anybody was ever friends with him given the way he talked to me. He said he would destroy the York family and he was quite clear on that. He said he would destroy me. He wasn’t shouting. He had a Hannibal Lecter-type voice. It was very cold and calm and really menacing and nasty.”

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.
