US justice department investigates Epstein’s alleged ties to Clinton and banks after Trump request

The US justice department has confirmed it will investigate paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged links to major banks and several prominent Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton.

US President Donald Trump said he would ask Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI to look into Epstein’s “involvement and relationship” with Clinton and others.

Bondi said the department “will pursue this with urgency and integrity”.

Trump’s request came days after thousands of Epstein’s emails were released by the US Congress – which include mentions of the US president. Democrats have accused Trump of trying to deflect from questions about his relationship with Epstein.

The emails, released by the US House Oversight Committee, include many high-profile figures. A review by the Wall Street Journal found that Trump was mentioned in more than 1,600 of the 2,324 email threads.

Robert Garcia, the leading Democrat on the committee, said Trump was attempting to “deflect from serious new questions we have about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein”.

In addition to Clinton, Trump said he asked the Department of Justice (DoJ) to investigate banks JP Morgan and Chase, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman, who is also a prominent Democratic donor.

“Epstein was a Democrat, and he is the Democrat’s problem, not the Republican’s problem!” he wrote on social media.

“They all know about him, don’t waste your time with Trump. I have a Country to run!”

Clinton has strongly denied he had any knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase said the firm regrets “any association” they had with Epstein, and added that the firm “did not help him commit his heinous acts”.

It is unclear whether Trump made a formal request or issued a directive to the justice department, or if Bondi was responding to his post on his Truth Social platform.

Bondi said she appointed US Attorney Jay Clayton to lead an investigation into the ties with Epstein.

President Trump DEMANDS House Republicans Vote to RELEASE Epstein Files — Warns Republicans Not to Fall for Democrat “Trap” Designed to Distract From His Record-Setting Achievements

President Donald Trump is done playing defense, and on Sunday, he unleashed a blistering statement demanding that House Republicans immediately vote to release the Epstein files, blasting Democrats for weaponizing the scandal as a distraction from his administration’s historic achievements.

Back in July, a new report released by the FBI and DOJ under Patel and Bongino boldly claims there is no evidence that Epstein blackmailed elites or maintained a “client list” of global power brokers connected to his child sex trafficking operation. It also parrots the long-disputed conclusion that Epstein died by suicide in his jail cell in 2019.

Conservative voices immediately erupted in disbelief, accusing the bureau of once again running cover for the elites and scrubbing the truth from public view.

Meanwhile, Democrats seized the moment to weaponize the scandal, suddenly insisting on releasing the Epstein files after years of blocking their disclosure to the public.

The Gateway Pundit reported last week that the Democrat Party suffered an epic humiliation after social media users caught them making up a lie about President Trump and Jeffrey Epstein that was so embarrassing.

On Wednesday, the Democrats’ Committee on Oversight released a so-called “tranche of correspondence” from the Epstein Estate, claiming to “strike a blow against the White House’s Epstein cover-up.” The three unrelated emails span the dates from 2011 to 2019.

Democrats redacted the name of a victim who publicly exonerated President Trump, even though the Epstein Estate itself did not redact her name.

In response to the release, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told FOX News Digital, “The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.”

In a fiery statement on Truth Social, Trump blasted Democrats and their media allies for what he calls a desperate, last-ditch effort to distract from the GOP’s growing momentum nationwide.

Trump reminded Americans that the real Epstein connections run straight through the Democratic Party, and he wants every last file released to prove it.

Ex-Harvard President Larry Summers Flew on ‘Air Lolita’ With Epstein to ‘Pedo Island’ – TGP First Reported in 2019 – Economist for Clinton and Obama Now Investigated by DOJ

MSM today: Epstein flight manifesto shows Larry Summer went to ‘Pedo Island’ – TGP reported this in 2019.

Sick and tired of being the target of endless Jeffrey Epstein Democrat hoaxes trying to will into existence evidence of criminal activity by him that does not exist, US President Donald J. Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate the Dem icons who are actually guilty, as reported in: Just In – Trump Announces He Will Order Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton, J.P. Morgan, and Other Leftist People and Institutions’ Ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Attorney General Pam Bondi swiftly appointed SDNY US Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the process, as you can read on Here is The Prosecutor Assigned to the Epstein-Clinton Investigation

Among those investigated is former Harvard President Larry Summers, who was Bill Clinton’s Treasury secretary and the director of the National Economic Council under Barak Obama.

Talk about a liberal icon.

Today, it’s been reported that flight records show that Summers took a trip with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell to the infamous private Little St. James Island.

Kudos to the MSM, but in fact, this has already been reported in TGP since 2019, as you can read in EXCLUSIVE: Former Clinton and Obama Economist and Harvard President, Larry Summers, Took Flight to Epstein’s ‘Orgy Island’ on His Honeymoon.

Later, in August 2023, in a deposition by former JPMorgan executive Jes Staley, who was being sued by US Virgin Islands government, we learned that Jeffrey Epstein referred several high-profile individuals to the bank as potential clients, explicitly including Larry Summers (alongside Bill Gates and Sergey Brin).

THICK AS THIEVES: the Clinton and Epstein Timeline – 1993-2013

The close relationship between Bill Clinton and the King of Pedophiles is disturbing for all but the most dedicated DNC shills.

In the years when Jeffrey Epstein held court like a Jay Gatsby from hell, many wealthy and celebrated people from all areas of society were drawn into the vortex, so to speak, of the International Moneyman of Mystery.

Vanity Fair, in 2003, reported: ‘Epstein is known about town as a man who loves women—lots of them, mostly young.’

***

It is not impossible that many good, honest people may have been present at functions and events, unaware of the inner workings of the trafficking and blackmail machine that Epstein allegedly operated with his best friend and partner in crime, Ghislaine Maxwell.

He needed them, the innocent bystanders, to transition from a glorified high-school math teacher to the seemingly legendary financial wizard and sponsor of philanthropy that he wanted to become.

That’s the reason why the infamous “black book” is not just a list of accomplices, victims and marks. It also had contacts for people who were in their lives to render some sort of veneer of sophistication and power.

But one thing is clear: the minute your relationship with them turned recreational, and you decided to avail yourself of the criminal opportunities that their friendship could provide, Epstein and Maxwell would be filming you to get kompromat.

“Friends don’t tape friends,” Prince Andrew’s cousin Christina Oxenberg made a point to remind us. But Epstein and Maxwell did tape, including her Royal cousin.

That is why the close relationship between former US president Bill Clinton and the King of Pedophiles is so disturbing for all but the most dedicated DNC shills.

A dispassionate look at the documentation made available so far shows that their relationship was not a mere occasional brushing of the shoulder in public events over the years. They rather appear to be thick as thieves for a long period of their lives.

And With That Development, the Dems’ Latest Trump-Epstein Stunt Has Imploded

I knew this was going to be a nothing burger this morning—I just wanted to see this thing implode, as with any significant anti-Trump narrative manufactured by the Left. With the Democrats defeated on the Schumer shutdown, they’re back onto the Jeffrey Epstein files. Like the Russian collusion hoax, every development is one dud after another. Democrats released a trove of emails, where it’s been alleged that Trump and the late New York financier and pedophile spent hours with a victim (via Axios):

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails Wednesday, including one from 2019 in which disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein alleged that President Trump “knew about the girls.”

The big picture: Democrats assert the emails “raise serious questions” about Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s crimes 

Trump had earlier dismissed demands for additional files tied to the Epstein investigation as a Democratic “hoax.” He’s acknowledged he was once friendly with the convicted sex offender but said that they had a falling out. 

Context: In the 2019 email, Epstein’s line that Trump “knew about the girls” appears to refer to the president’s past claim that he banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club for allegedly approaching young women who worked there. 

Driving the news: House Oversight Ranking Member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) said the emails “raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding and the nature of the relationship between Epstein and the President.” 

In a 2011 email, Epstein alleged that an individual whose name was redacted as “VICTIM” spent hours with Trump at Epstein’s house. 

And this is why Democrats can’t be trusted with all the files—not all of them are real. They want anything that can be used to damage Trump. In this case, it could be alleged, to the shock of no one, that they manufactured a fake news story. NONE of the Epstein victims who have come forward have accused Trump of wrongdoing. Also, the victim in this document dump is the late Virginia Giuffre, so why are Democrats making it look like she committed perjury? It’s just a mess.

Email Released by House Oversight Committee Shows Jeffrey Epstein Saying Lord Peter Mandelson Was Right To Tell Him ‘To Stay Away From (Former Prince) Andrew’

For disgraced ‘former Prince’ Andrew to learn his ‘friends’ despised him is yet another bitter pill to swallow.

Democrats in the House Oversight Committee, participating in the review of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and prosecution, continue to try to ‘will into existence’ damaging information against Donald J. Trump that’s just not there.

They attempt that by selective and deceptive partial leaks, but the Oversight Chairman, Republican James Comer, released another batch of no less than 23,000 documents received from the Jeffrey Epstein Estate.

Around the world, journalists and analysts are starting to dig into the treasure trove and come up with new chapters in the never-ending soap opera of the Epstein sex-trafficking ring.

Link to the whole ‘Batch 7’.

One of the first stories out of the doc dump is another big humiliation to former Prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, as an email reveals that Epstein told Lord Peter Mandelson: ‘You were right about staying away from Andrew’.

The Telegraph reported:

“According to documents first seen by the BBC, Epstein emailed Lord Mandelson two weeks after his birthday in 2016, writing: ‘63 years old. You made it’.

‘Just. I have decided to extend my life by spending more of it in the US’, Lord Mandelson responded.

Epstein then replied “in the Donald White House”, then added: ‘You were right about staying away from Andrew’.”

Israeli Spy Stayed for Weeks at a Time With Jeffrey Epstein in Manhattan

With the looming end of the U.S. government shutdown amid a deal in the Senate, the House will soon be swearing in Adelita Grijalva to her rightful seat from Arizona, after a historic delay at the hands of Speaker Mike Johnson, taking direction from President Donald Trump, all aimed at blocking her from becoming the final signature needed to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

In mid-October, the House Oversight Committee released an interview with former U.S. prosecutor Alex Acosta, who told the panel that—contrary to widespread public reporting—he had never told Steve Bannon that Epstein “belonged to intelligence.” Acosta denied ever discussing Epstein with Bannon, and claimed to have “no knowledge as to whether he was or was not a member of the intelligence community.”

Yet, along with Acosta’s interview, the House panel also released a new cache of documents from Epstein’s estate containing direct evidence of Epstein’s links to Israeli intelligence: Epstein’s personal calendars reveal that a senior Israeli intelligence officer, with personal ties to former CIA Director Leon Panetta, lived at Epstein’s Manhattan apartment for multiple stretches between 2013 and 2016. When cross-referenced with emails leaked from the inbox of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, a portrait emerges of Epstein at the nexus of high-ranking intelligence officials in both the U.S. and Israel.

This is the fourth piece in Drop Site’s ongoing series on Jeffrey Epstein’s role in brokering intelligence deals for Israel.

In the first, we exposed Epstein’s role in brokering a security agreement between Israel and Mongolia. In the second, we identified Epstein’s effort to set up a backchannel between Israel and Russia during the Syria civil war. In the third, we showed Epstein’s role as a key facilitator of a security agreement between Israel and the West African nation of Côte d’Ivoire.

Meanwhile, we’re left wondering why the rest of the media, which has demonstrated no lack of excitement when it comes to the saga of Jeffrey Epstein, has all of a sudden lost its reporting capacity, in the face of reams of publicly available newsworthy documents. A question for editors reading this newsletter: What are you doing?

From a place of competition, we’re glad the media are sitting on their collective hands and we’re proud to have broken this series of stories, which give us a glimpse of a world that is often hidden from public view. But it’s also a topic that would benefit from the collective attention of our national media. Here’s hoping some will join in.

Either way, we’ll continue the work, and are grateful for the support of readers who make it possible. If you haven’t yet upgraded your subscription, please consider doing so.

Comey’s Daughter Reportedly Sought To Cut Deal With Epstein To Smear Trump

The former cellmate of Jeffrey Epstein claimed that James Comey’s prosecutor daughter offered the billionaire pedophile a deal to implicate President Donald Trump.

Maurene Comey, who recently resigned as the walls closed in on her notorious FBI father, began serving in 2016 as assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

That put her front and center in the investigations of Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell after Epstein was arrested in July 2019.

While detained in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center, Epstein was assigned to a cell with Nicholas Tartaglione, a former police officer who was serving time for kidnapping  and quadruple murder.

Tartaglione was convicted of killing a man he suspected of stealing some $250,000 in drug money, as well as his nephews and a family friend who “were in the wrong place at the wrong time,” prosecutors said, according to the New York Post.

During the month that Epstein was incarcerated before his apparent suicide, Tartaglione claimed in a recent pardon application that his cellmate had the opportunity to save his skin by throwing the sitting president under the bus.

“Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Esptein’s crimes he would walk free. in a petition to be pardoned,” according to the Post, which said it had obtained a copy of the filing.

“Epstein told me that Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it,” the pardon application added.

“According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s].’”

Maurene Comey’s father was forced out of his role as FBI director roughly two years prior. However, questions have continued to swirl about the dubious loyalties of officials including then-Attorney General William Barr and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Even so, questions about Tartaglione’s credibility may outweigh the suspicions against the Deep State.

Senators Say Bondi And Patel Are Being ‘Sabotaged’ On Epstein Files; Massie Isn’t Buying It

Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., is challenging explanations that FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi lack full control of their agencies nearly a year into the Trump administration, particularly when it comes to their handling of Jeffrey Epstein investigation files.

Sen. Ron Johnson recently suggested that Patel and Bondi face significant internal resistance. While discussing newly released Arctic Frost investigation documents late last month, Johnson emphasized that records came from whistleblowers rather than official channels.

“We need to do everything we can to assist Director Patel and AG Bondi in making sure they have the staff to take control over these agencies,” Johnson said per a report by Blaze Media. “I think they’re being sabotaged within.”

Johnson added that partisan actors remain embedded in both agencies. “Right now I think Kash Patel and Pam Bondi are overwhelmed by all the mess they’re trying to clean up,” he stated. “There’s still partisan actors burrowed in, trying to sabotage their efforts.”

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah., echoed these concerns, writing that Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino are “undoubtedly being sabotaged from within the FBI.”

House Oversight Committee Summons Former Prince Andrew To Appear Before Congress Over Abuse Claims Against Him

Will Andrew appear before US Congress?

The Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking ring continues to generate almost daily developments.

Among many other avenues of investigation, we have been reporting here on TGP about how the US House Oversight Committee has been enacting a review on the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell investigations and prosecutions.

Today (6), it arises that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor – the disgraced former British Prince – has been summoned to appear before Congress which is investigating abuse claims against him.

The Telegraph reported:

“In a letter sent to the former Duke of York on Thursday, Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee say they believe he may also have crucial information about co-conspirators and enablers of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes.

‘The Oversight Committee will investigate allegations of abuse by Mountbatten Windsor, and will seek information on Epstein’s operations, network, and associates based on the men’s longstanding and well-documented friendship’, they say.”
