Epstein: Dirty Secrets Emerge From a Painful Book — and the Powerful Squirm

The Jeffrey Epstein story ebbs and flows in the national conversation, sometimes seeming a bit less worthy of our attention compared to other urgent matters, only to revive as hot stuff with new developments.

The latest in an endless series of things we need to know about is the posthumously published memoir of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, whose torment by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell began in 2000 and ended in 2002. During that time, she was forced to perform unspeakable acts with the two of them, and others — she said she was “passed around like a platter of fruit.”

To get her to comply and never reveal these horrors, all Epstein had to do was let her know he knew where her little brother went to school. (And he showed her a photo proving it.)

I find this claim believable because someone I know recounted a story from one of his attorneys in a business-related lawsuit against Epstein. He described how during a phone conversation, Epstein mentioned having seen the attorney’s children crossing the street, and warned him to be extra careful so nothing would happen to them.

Back to Giuffre’’s claims: Epstein also bragged that he “owned the Palm Beach police department.” (Manipulating Giuffre was easy: At the age of seven, she had already been molested by a family friend.) Giuffre sued Maxwell and Epstein and became an advocate for other survivors. She committed suicide in April, at the age of 41.

Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice seems to be mentioned all over the place — The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vanity Fair, PBS, CBS, etc. — and it has got to be one of Donald Trump’s worst nightmares, assuming he can even fall asleep.

Because it’s bound to make more and more people demand to see the Epstein files. And to see just how he — Trump — is mentioned.

From the grave, Giuffre powerfully challenges the idea that all those famous people hanging out with Epstein had no inkling what he was up to:

Don’t be fooled by those in Epstein’s circle who say they didn’t know what he was doing. Epstein not only didn’t hide what was happening, he took a certain glee in making people watch. And people did watch — scientists, fundraisers from the Ivy League and other heralded institutions, titans of industry. They watched and they didn’t care.

And this description from on what she had to put up with, and from what sort of men:

[C]hoking, beating and bloodying from a former prime minister, whom she refused to name because “I fear that this man will seek to hurt me if I say his name here.”

As you probably already know, she named, and sued, Prince Andrew. (Note: Giuffre observed no encounters with Donald Trump, but others say they have.)

Whether you think the Jeffrey Epstein story matters or not, the Republicans certainly think it does.

Their most recent effort, in a long series of efforts, to block release of the government’s files on the matter is to indefinitely avoid seating the newest member of the US House, Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ). That’s because she represents the final discharge petition signature needed to force a House vote on releasing those records.

The Grijalva stunt involves House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) claiming that, hey, there’s no reason for the delay and, um, I gotta go.

Epstein ‘bankrolled Sarah Ferguson for 15 years’ and she ‘took daughters to celebrate his release from prison in US’ astonishing emails claim

Jeffrey Epstein secretly bankrolled Sarah Ferguson for 15 years, astonishing new emails claim.

The convicted paedophile complained to friends about the disgraced duchess’s scrounging ways in messages that suggest his financial support went far beyond the £15,000 she admitted taking from him.

In the previously unseen emails, Epstein reveals Fergie was so desperate to cosy up to him that ‘she was the first to celebrate’ his release from jail ‘with her two daughters in tow’. Princess Beatrice would have been 20 at the time and Eugenie 19, the same age as many of his victims.

The shocking claims are contained in a huge tranche of documents under review by the US Congress. They are set to be released once they have been redacted to protect the identity of hundreds of young girls Epstein raped and sexually abused.

The sordid nature of Fergie’s relationship with the paedophile and the chummy tone of their correspondence makes sickening reading that will repulse the sex offender’s many victims.

Emails seen by The Mail on Sunday show: 

  • Fergie begged to borrow $50,000 to $100,000 to help with ‘small bills’;
  • She asked to visit Epstein’s private island, joking whether her financial woes made it ‘unavailable to bankrupts?’
  • Epstein paid off debts the duchess owed a former employee but became angry when she failed to pay him back as promised;
  • While disavowing Epstein in public, Fergie kept up contact and let him help set up a charity for her;
  • Epstein brazenly gave Fergie ‘talking points’ before she was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey. 

Tonight a well-placed source said: ‘Sarah and Prince Andrew have always maintained they distanced themselves from Epstein after his conviction for child prostitution. In fact, it was Epstein who ended up dumping them. He got sick and tired of Sarah constantly asking him for money.

‘She borrowed far more money off him than has ever come out. In public she said one thing but in private she was always holding out the begging bowl.’

Jeffrey Epstein sent nasty emails to billionaire Leon Black demanding millions per year before arrest: report

Jeffrey Epstein sent a barrage of nasty emails to his cash cow, billionaire Leon Black, pressuring him to fork over millions of dollars per year to keep his lavish lifestyle afloat.

The disgraced financier and sex trafficker warned that Black’s financial advisors and “retarded” children had created a “really dangerous mess” by attempting to plug the flow of cash, according to emails obtained by the New York Times.

“I never want to have any more uncomfortable money moments with you , I find it very distasteful,” Epstein wrote in a Nov. 2, 2015 email to the Apollo Global Management founder.

“so to be clear , my terms are as follows . I will only work for the usual 40 million per year. It needs to be paid, 25 million upon signing an agreement . 5 million every 2 months thereafter for 6 months ie march may june . this can begin if i am able in January. I will immediately stop work , if the payment is not received [sic]” he wrote, according to the outlet.

The emails sent to Black by Epstein in 2015 and 2016 illustrates the strong relationship between the two men, who were close friends as well as business associates.

Virginia Giuffre beaten, raped by ‘well-known prime minister’ in attack that broke Epstein spell, her memoir reveals

Prominent Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre was brutally bloodied, beaten and raped by a “well-known prime minister” in a series of savage encounters that finally helped the teenager break free from the sex trafficker’s spell.

In her posthumous memoir “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” Giuffre recalled begging Epstein to step in after the unnamed politician forced her to beg for her life — but the pedophile coldly told her it was simply part of her job.

“After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool. Having been treated so brutally and then seeing Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrorized I felt, I had to accept that Epstein meted out praise merely as a manipulation to keep me subservient,” Giuffre wrote, according to an excerpt shared with The Post.

“Epstein cared only about Epstein.”

Giuffre simply referred to the deranged man as the “Prime Minister,” saying she was afraid the brute would “seek to hurt” her if she printed his name.

In the past, however, she pointed to Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Barak in court filings as one of the many elites who had raped her, a claim he has repeatedly denied.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Cushy Minimum-Security Stay Sparks Uproar

On a sweltering mid-August weekend, hundreds of women at Federal Prison Camp Bryan were locked in their dorms, missing family time and fresh air. All except one: Ghislaine Maxwell. The 63-year-old Jeffrey Epstein confidante, convicted for helping him abuse underage teens, held a quiet meeting with several visitors inside the prison chapel while the rest of the camp was on ice, according to a new report from the WSJ, citing people familiar with the matter.

Maxwell had landed at the minimum-security Texas facility less than three weeks earlier, after a sudden transfer from a higher-security prison in Tallahassee. That move alone raised eyebrows: Bureau of Prisons policy generally keeps sex offenders out of camps without a special waiver. Her defense has said she faced “serious danger” in Florida; the bureau won’t say how many waivers like this exist – or why Maxwell got one.

The ripple effects inside Bryan were immediate. Inmates say the usually relaxed camp tightened the screws: more frequent lockdowns, armed guards on site, and SORT tactical teams posted at the gates. Black tarps went back up on the fence line. Guards delivered meals to Maxwell’s room, escorted her for late-night workouts, and let her shower after others were confined. Meanwhile, resentment simmered. Some inmates called her a “chomo,” prison slang for child molester. The warden, sources said, warned that threats or media chatter would earn a fast ticket to a harsher joint.

Bank of America, BNY sued over alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein

A woman who says Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused her at least 100 times is suing Bank of America and Bank of New York Mellon over their alleged ties to the convicted predator, accusing the banks of maintaining relationships with him and failing to report suspicious activities until after his 2019 death.

The class-action lawsuits, filed in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday on behalf of a Jane Doe and other alleged Epstein survivors, claim the sicko couldn’t have run his trafficking operation without special treatment from banks including the defendants.

The complaint against Bank of America, the second biggest bank in the US, graphically describes the sexual violence Epstein allegedly inflicted on the plaintiff.

“From 2011 through 2019, Epstein sexually abused Jane Doe on at least 100 occasions, including but not limited to, forcibly touching her, forcibly raping her, and forcing her to engage in sexual acts with other women for his own depraved sexual gratification,” the lawsuit stated.

The document also cites previous reports to illustrate the scale of the sicko’s alleged crimes, noting that “Epstein had been sexually abusing three to four young females per day.”

King Charles Scrambling To Deal With Latest Prince Andrew-Jeffrey Epstein Scandal, as the Pressure Mounts To Strip His Younger Brother of All His Titles

Another day, another ‘Randy Andy’ scandal – but this one is worse.

The Royal Family has been left “exasperated” by the latest revelations to emerge regarding Prince Andrew, as documents demonstrate that he lied to the British people during his BBC ‘train-crash’ interview.

Leaked emails show Andrew told Epstein that they were ‘in this together’ – this was a day after the day after the ‘silver bullet’ picture of him with Virginia Giuffre was published.

Furthermore, the Duke of York manifests his intention to reconnect with the disgraced financier, saying ‘keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!’

GB News reported:

“The Duke of York had previously said he severed all communication with the convicted financier in December 2010. However, newly leaked correspondence appeared to show the Duke writing to Epstein on February 28, 2011.

In the message, Prince Andrew stated they were ‘in this together’ and would need to ‘rise above it’, suggesting ongoing contact between the pair.”

“Royal Family insiders have stated that there is frustration at the lack of further sanctions they can apply to the Duke of York.

An aide told The Sun: ‘There is exasperation and frustration at new revelations and that there is nothing much more that can be done. Everything that can be done has been’.”

Bill and Hillary Clinton Postpone Depositions in House Oversight Committee’s Jeffrey Epstein Probe

Are Bill and Hillary dodging their depositions?

We have been closely following the House Oversight Committee review of the prosecutions of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his incarcerated accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Some of the most high-profile figures to be deposed are the Democrat power couple Bill and Hillary Clinton.

But when this will happen is still to be decided.

The former President and the former Secretary of State have both pushed back their deposition dates for the Committee’s investigation.

New York Post reported:

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been expected to testify before the panel last week on Oct. 9 — but did not appear — and former President Bill Clinton was slated to be grilled on his ties to Epstein on Tuesday.

But an Oversight Committee spokesperson told The Post Monday that the panel is ‘having conversations with the Clintons’ attorney to accommodate their schedules’.”

“The Clintons were subpoenaed in early August by Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) as part of the panel’s review of the federal government’s probe into Epstein and his convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

‘Everybody in America wants to know what went on in Epstein Island, and we’ve all heard reports that Bill Clinton was a frequent visitor there, so he’s a prime suspect to be deposed by the House Oversight Committee’, Comer said of the former president’s subpoena during an interview with Newsmax in August.”

‘WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER’: A Day After His Photo With Victim Virginia Giuffre Surfaced, Prince Andrew Wrote Email to Jeffrey Epstein Saying They Would ‘Play Some More Soon’

Barely a week goes by without a new Epstein-linked revelation hurting even more of Andrew’s battered reputation.

On February 27, 2011, the British paper Mail on Sunday published the infamous picture of Prince Andrew with late Jeffrey Epstein’s victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Ghislaine Maxwell in her Belgravia home in London.

A day later, Andrew secretly wrote pedophile Epstein ‘we are in this together, according to a previously unreleased bombshell email.

Daily Mail reported:

“In the astonishing message, Andrew said he was ‘concerned’ about the impact this newspaper’s revelations would have on his friend, but reassured the vile billionaire that the pair would ‘rise above’ press scrutiny.”

This message was sent to Epstein three months after Andrew alleged to have ceased all contact with the convicted sex offender.

“The leaked email provides definitive proof that the Duke lied in his interview with BBC’s Newsnight when he claimed he ‘never had any contact’ with Epstein after the pair were famously pictured walking together in New York’s Central Park in December 2010.”

The damaging email has generated further pressure on the Windsor Royal Family to sever all ties with Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

“’I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!’”

In his ‘train-wreck’ BBC Newsnight interview in 2019, Andrew also suggested the picture with Giuffre was a ‘crude forgery’ but in his email sent a day after the release of the photograph, the Duke did not question its authenticity.

Illegal Alien Harbored in Chicago by Far-Left Gov. Pritzker Indicted for Running Human and Sex-Trafficking Ring in Ohio

A Chinese illegal alien living in Chicago under Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker’s sanctuary policies has been indicted for running a human and sex-trafficking ring across state lines.

A Marion County Grand Jury in Ohio has indicted Xiaoping Peng, 53, of Chicago, Illinois, on a list of serious felony charges tied to a prostitution and trafficking enterprise that operated out of a so-called “Chinese Spa” located at 1288 Delaware Avenue in Marion, Ohio, according to Marion County Now.

According to the news outlet citing authorities, Peng entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration and managed to remain in Chicago after filing an asylum claim—a loophole frequently exploited under the administration’s open-border policies.

Officials say Peng acted as a courier and recruiter, transporting female victims across state lines and collecting proceeds tied to sexual exploitation. The investigation uncovered that the operation trafficked women from Illinois to Ohio between March 6 and June 17, 2025.

When Marion police raided the spa, they discovered evidence of ongoing forced prostitution and human exploitation, including communications and financial trails linking Peng to multiple states.
