Sarah Ferguson ‘took Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie’ to see Epstein five days after he was released from prison for child sex crimes, newly released emails claim

Sarah Ferguson visited Jeffrey Epstein with her two young daughters just five days after the disgraced financier was released from prison for child sex crimes, according to newly released emails.

The former Duchess of York is said to have taken Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to see the paedophile in July 2009, less than a week after he was freed from a Florida jail, where he had served 12 months for soliciting a child for prostitution and was placed under house arrest.

At the time of the visit, Beatrice and Eugenie would have been aged 20 and 19 respectively.

Epstein confirmed the meeting in an email sent to his then partner Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking, on July 28 2009. 

He wrote: ‘ferg and the two girls come [sic] yesterday’.

The day before, Ms Ferguson herself emailed Epstein to arrange the visit, writing: ‘What address shall we come to. It will be myself, Beatrice and Eugenie. Are we having lunch?’

Emails reportedly show the group met at Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion, where the paedophile served vegetable lasagne prepared by a Parisian chef.

Epstein later referred to the visit in correspondence released in October. Writing to British lawyer Paul Tweed on April 7, 2011, he complained about Ms Ferguson’s failure to defend him publicly following his conviction.

CBS News star set to be fired days after hiring over disgusting Jeffrey Epstein emails

CBS News is expected to fire its new ‘wellness expert’ Peter Attia after he appeared 1,741 times in the Epstein files.

Attia called the notorious child sex trafficker his ‘friend’ in hundreds of email they exchanged, many after Epstein’s first sex crimes conviction.

The disgraced billionaire was jailed in 2008 for procuring a child for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute, crimes that were well documented at the time.

Epstein and Attia appeared very chummy in their frequent exchanges that appeared to go well beyond the influencer merely flattering him for benefit.

Many of the emails were crude or overtly sexual – some to a stomach-churning degree – though don’t appear to have referenced criminal acts.

‘P***y is, indeed, low carb. Still awaiting results on gluten, though,’ one of the emails he sent to Epstein read.

Another email made it clear Attia knew his friendship with Epstein was at best ill-advised and would harm his reputation if it came out.

‘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,’ he wrote in 2015.

The subject line for that email was ‘Got a fresh shipment’, though it was unclear what the shipment was as a photo of it in the email was redacted.

Attia was hired only last week as a contributor to CBS news, along with 18 others handpicked by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss.

The gaggle of new faces were hired as part of Weiss’ ongoing controversial overhaul of CBS News since she was installed four months ago.

Attia is the founder of Outlive and a popular influencer and podcaster with 1.7 million Instagram followers and a million more on YouTube.

He shares his controversial views on a range of health and wellness topics – longevity in particular, which is the focus of his company.

Attia also exchanged emails with Epstein’s staff and associates, including his assistant Lesley Groff, to whom he complained he would ‘go into JE withdrawal’ if he didn’t see his child rapist pal soon.

Shocking Email From Epstein Files Implicates Former US Ambassador, Clintons, Bidens, the First Commanding Officer of SEAL Team Six, and More

A series of emails uncovered in the most recent release by the Department of Justice (DOJ) reads like a spy thriller novel: American agents in a foreign country attacking local law enforcement to disrupt an investigation.  Threats made all the way up to the President of Mexico.  A judge shot by an American in order to delay a trial.  A U.S. Ambassador implicated in all of it.  And a U.S. Special Forces icon being detained in an undisclosed location.  Plot twist:  The Special Forces veteran is the bad guy!  

The emails appear to involve Ken Turner, who goes by “KenT” in the emails, and possibly NYPD Detective Walter E. Harkins based on a signature field in one of the emails.  Harkins retired from the NYPD just days after the 2024 election following a 33-year career ending four generations of familial service to the department.

Each redacted email address is followed by “(NY) (OGA)”.

On July 19, 2019, Turner sent an email to the NY OGA and disclosed the individuals he was working with in Mexico.  He described one, Jorge Gonzales, as “my friend in the Mexican Federal Government” with a federal police phone number.  He also mentioned an ex South African police officer and psychologist named Maryna and introduced her as his “partner”.

Lutnick Too? New Epstein Files Reveal Trip To Pedo Island After He Said He Cut Ties

As far as massive distractions go, the latest Epstein files release seems to be all anyone is talking about. Not only do they mix random and salacious claims called into the FBI tip line (which could have been lodged by anyone for any reason – so you should assign low value to those), there are tons of new, high-value details – largely exposing people for lying about their relationship with Epstein. 

Other claims have been debunked, such as Elon Musk’s ‘Epstein Island Vacation‘ email which is found nowhere in the actual release. 

We’ve also got a crazy two-hour interview between Epstein and Steve Bannon recorded months before his 2019 arrest, and a ton of other things we still need to get to. 

Commerce Secretary and billionaire Howard Lutnick features in the new Epstein files – having once planned a trip to Epstein’s private island. 

The trip, planned in 2012, came years after Lutnick claimed he cut all ties with the pedophile. Yet in December of that year, Lutnick sent an email to Epstein saying that he had a group of people, including his wife and children and another family, who were visiting the Caribbean – and inquired as to where Epstein was located and whether they could visit for a meal.

Epstein, replying through an assistant, set up a lunch gathering. 

When reached for comment, Lutnick told the NY Times “I spent zero time with him,” before hanging up. 

The documents suggest the visit did occur. The gathering was set for Dec. 23, 2012. A day later, an assistant to Mr. Epstein forwarded Mr. Lutnick a message from Mr. Epstein: “Nice seeing you,” it said.

In a podcast interview last year, Mr. Lutnick claimed that around 2005, he and his wife had been so revolted by Mr. Epstein that they decided not to associate with him again.

Mr. Lutnick said in the interview that Mr. Epstein invited them to tour his Upper East Side mansion, next door to Mr. Lutnick’s own home. When they noticed a massage table in the middle of a room, Mr. Lutnick recalled, Mr. Epstein explained that he received “the right kind of massage” every day. Mr. Lutnick said that he and his wife quickly left and decided to “never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again.”

Except, that was complete bullshit (the running theme with these new releases).

Deputy AG Todd Blanche says no one will be charged after latest Epstein files drop as Clinton contempt vote looms

President Donald Trump‘s Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that no new charges will be filed after the latest release of documents from the Epstein Files.

Speaking with CNN State of the Union host Dana Bash, Blanche said that he couldn’t ‘talk about any investigations,’ but ‘that in July, the Department of Justice said that we had reviewed the files, the Epstein files, and there was nothing in there that allowed us to prosecute anybody.’

Blanche also dismissed the premise that Trump being named over 1,000 times in the latest drop of over 3 million files means he did anything wrong. 

‘What I think folks will see when they review the materials we released is that there have been hundreds of calls made to the FBI where allegations are made by either anonymous individuals or people who are very quickly determined to not be credible,’ Blanche told Bash.

Trump’s Deputy Attorney General added that ‘it turns out, there was a number of claims made by either … anonymous people or somebody, for example, calling and saying I used to have a roommate who told me this sensational story,’ he said, before adding that much of those claims could not be investigated due to lack of details.

Blanche also denounced Bash’s focus on Trump, stating that he didn’t ‘appreciate it being directed towards Donald J. Trump, because that pushes a narrative that is completely false.’

Trump was just one of many notable political and media figures who were named in the latest drop of the files, which were released on Friday and contained over 2,000 videos and 180,000 images.

The names of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and former President Bill Clinton are included in the latest drop of documents.

Slovakia PM’s national security adviser resigns over Epstein links

The national security adviser to Slovakia’s prime minister has resigned after documents released by the US showed he exchanged messages about girls and diplomacy with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Robert Fico announced he had accepted Miroslav Lajčák’s departure in a video message on Saturday, describing the adviser as “an incredible source of experience in diplomacy and foreign policy”.

The resignation comes a day after three million files relating to the influential financier were released by the US Department of Justice.

While the files do not show any wrongdoing on the part of those featured, including Lajčák, they have raised renewed questions for those who associated with Epstein.

In a text exchange from October 2018 – when Lajčák was serving as Slovakia’s foreign minister – Lajčák and Epstein could be seen lightheartedly discussing women and a forthcoming meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

After Epstein sent an image, which cannot be seen in the record, Lajčák replies: “Why don’t you invite me for these games? I would take the ‘MI’ girl”.

“Who wouldn’t,” Epstein texts back. “You can have them both, I am not possessive. And their sisters.”

Later on in the conversation, Epstein can be seen imploring Lajčák to ask Lavrov to get him a t-shirt featuring Lavrov and Viltaly Churkin, a Russian ambassador to the UN who had died the previous year.

“You get the tee shirt. Then you get the girls,” Epstein writes, to which Lajčák agrees.

Epstein then says: “No kidding their sisters are both swimming in the pool.”

“That’s not fair!” Lajčák responds.

“Though they’re all under 30. So. Probably too young for you,” Epstein adds. “Or should I say under 50.”

“Don’t be mean,” Lajčák replies. “You don’t know me in action.”

In an email to Epstein in November 2017, Lajčák asks Epstein to help a female film producer get her movie on the shortlist for that year’s Oscars.

Lajčák initially denied discussing women with Epstein when the files were released on Friday, according to Slovak media. He later reportedly said he had decided to resign to avoid damaging Fico politically.

Fico characterised the outrage in Slovakia over Lajčák’s association with Epstein as “an attack against me”.

“I have not seen so much hypocrisy in his criticism for a long time, and from all sides,” he said.

Lajčák had served in four Slovak governments, three led by Fico, and as an international diplomat. The former foreign affairs minister had most recently been an EU special representative for the western Balkans.

The massive tranche of files released on Friday have revealed new details about the relationships Epstein – who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges – had with high-profile figures, including Elon Musk, Lord Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Among them are images of the former Duke of York, who was stripped of his titles over his association with the disgraced financier, that appear to show the former prince kneeling on all fours over a female lying on the ground.

Andrew sent photos featuring daughters Eugenie and Beatrice to paedophile Epstein: Innocent princesses are dragged into disgraced parents’ scandal in latest file dump

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sent photographs of his daughters Eugenie and Beatrice to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein at Christmas as the princesses are dragged into the latest scandal to hit their disgraced parents.

The King’s brother, 65, included a series of snaps of the sisters in two festive emails sent in 2011 and 2012, files released by the US Department of Justice last night show.

The pictures were sent when Eugenie was 21 and 22, and Beatrice was 23 and 24, after the disgraced financier’s 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.

The intimate family snaps were sent up to two years after the former prince previously claimed to have cut off all contact with the paedophile.

The image of him proudly showing off his daughters’ exploits as a doting father figure draws a stark contrast with the secret life he and ex-wife Sarah lived behind closed doors as they rubbed shoulders with the rich and powerful.

The emails were released as part of a tranche of some three million documents relating to Epstein by the US government on Friday, and were just a fraction of the embarrassing content for the former Duke and Duchess of York.

The latest revelations leave Beatrice and Eugenie in ‘trying times’, royal expert Jennie Bond said today, as the sisters struggle to navigate their father’s increasingly humiliating position ostracised from the royal family.

Other revelations from Friday’s release of the Epstein files include:

Billionaire Reid Hoffman, Who Bankrolled the E. Jean Carroll Lawsuit Against Trump, Is Featured Extensively in the New Epstein Files, Visiting Zorro Ranch and Pedophile Island

Hoffman went to the Island.

A man who used his fortune to bankroll a lawsuit against President Donald J. Trump is now featured extensively in the new DOJ-released Jeffrey Epstein documents.

The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – have been released by the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Documents from this massive release show the close ties between LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and the late pedophile.

The pair ‘discusses visits to Epstein’s infamous private island, his New Mexico ranch, and his New York apartment’.

The New York Post reported:

“’Reid will spend the night at 71st’, according to one email from Hoffman’s team included in the latest Justice Department dump of Epstein files, in reference to his Upper East Side townhouse.”

Epstein Helped Fund Lavish Lifestyle For Former Obama WH Counsel

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.

Disgraced Andrew Everywhere in Epstein Files – From Multiple Sexual Indiscretions to a Romance With Ghislaine Maxwell and Sharing Afghanistan Confidential Document With Late Pedophile

How low can Andrew go?

The three and a half million documents from the latest – and apparently last – release from the DOJ following the approval of the House Resolution 4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, are out.

Around the world, journalists are digging into the mother lode, but we can already say that disgraced former British Prince Andrew is the elite figure most featured in the damaging files.

We already reported about a 2010 email exchange in which Jeffrey Epstein, fresh out of Florida prison, sets ‘Randy Andy’ with a 26-year-old Russian woman, once again shattering the former duke’s lies that he severed ties with the late pedophile after his conviction.

He is also featured inviting Epstein and women friends for a dinner at Buckingham Palace – ‘with lots of privacy’.

The new revelations are even worse.

In a disturbing series of declassified photos, Andrew is ‘hovering over a woman lying on the floor’.
