Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo Inbox Revealed

Right-wing internet personality and Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah. After a chaotic 24-hour manhunt, the FBI named 22-year-old Utah resident Tyler Robinson as a suspect in the murder. As polarization and political violence continues to increase in the US, a new platform from the Public Service Alliance is offering tools like data-removal services and threat monitoring to public servan

Top Democrat Calls for Congressional Probe Into Ties Between Jeffrey Epstein and Peter Thiel

The Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to plague the Trump administration, and on Wednesday, a prominent Democratic senator called for Congress to investigate the financial ties between the dead sex criminal and a host of financial organizations and people, including tech billionaire Peter Thiel. Much of the debate about the “Epstein files” has centered around what records the Justice Department may have on his illicit sex crimes but, according to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon), the more important fi

MAGA Congressman Explains Trump’s Signature in Epstein Birthday Book by Floating Autopen Conspiracy

A Congressional document dump of Jeffrey Epstein files on Monday has created a certifiable public relations nightmare for the Trump administration, and its allies are currently scrambling for some sort of explanation as to why what looks a whole helluva lot like the President’s signature would be found on an alleged birthday letter included in the trove. On Tuesday, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tennessee) offered up the latest excuse: some sort of conspiracy involving a signing machine called an autopen

Top DOJ Official Caught in Catfish Video Claiming Gov Will ‘Redact Every Republican’ From Epstein Files

The scandal over Jeffrey Epstein continues to trouble the Trump administration, and this week, another PR nightmare involving the dead pedophile blew up in the White House’s face. Said PR nightmare came from a surprising source: rightwing provocateur James O’Keefe, who notably made his name with the far-right activist group Project Veritas. In the past, Veritas was known for targeting liberal organizations and Democrats, although, after a series of scandals, it’s no longer active. O’Keefe is st

Ghislaine Maxwell Says She First Met Elon Musk at Sergey Brin’s Birthday Party

Elon Musk infamously threw Donald Trump under the bus in June when he insisted that the president was “in the Epstein files,” a reference to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But a newly released interview with Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell might put the spotlight back on Musk when it comes to all things Epstein. Maxwell, who’s in prison for sex trafficking a minor, was recently interviewed by Todd Blanche, the president’s former personal attorney and now a top official at the U.S. D

The ‘Epstein files’ implosion bleeds into foreign policy

While the summer doldrums have hit Washington, the MAGA influencers can never truly go on vacation, especially if they’ve spent their careers promising to reveal the truth about Jeffrey Epstein. Although their politicians are now in power, they’re getting stonewalled, and in the absence of juicy “Epstein files” to feed to their audiences, a new maelstrom of discontent is brewing, one that implicates much more than allegations about a pedophile’s sex trafficking ring. The complex rift around Dona

Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Forgotten AI Summit

In 2002, artificial intelligence was still in winter. Despite decades of effort, dreams of bestowing computers with humanlike cognition and real-world understanding had not materialized. To look for a way forward, a small group of scientists gathered for “The St. Thomas Common Sense Symposium.” AI pioneer Marvin Minsky was the central presence, along with his protégé Pushpinder Singh. After the symposium, Minsky, Singh, and renowned philosopher Aaron Sloman published a paper on the group’s ideas

The FBI Is Reportedly Holding the Missing Footage From Outside Epstein's Cell

Despite official insistence to the contrary, insiders say that the US government is in possession of the "missing minute" from the footage outside of Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan jail cell when the infamous pedophile died. Earlier this month, attorney general Pam Bondi released what the Justice Department referred to as the "full raw" surveillance footage from outside Epstein's cell — a still frame of which is shown above — documenting nearly 11 hours of the outside of the disgraced financier's

DOJ Has a Copy of the Epstein Jail Video With the ‘Missing Minute’: Report

When the U.S. Department of Justice released a nearly 11-hour video in early July that purported to show the last time Jeffrey Epstein was seen alive, people couldn’t help but notice that there was a full minute missing. Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted there was a simple explanation: That’s just how the jail’s antiquated camera systems work. But a new report claims Bondi isn’t telling the truth. The report from CBS News cites a “government source familiar with the investigation” who told th

Fake Trump-Epstein Letters Spread Online After Bombshell Report

Donald Trump once contributed to an album of birthday letters for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that included the president’s signature and a reference to “secrets” the two men shared, according to an explosive article published last week by the Wall Street Journal. But the Journal didn’t publish any images of the birthday letter, leaving people to wonder what it might have looked like. And social media users have produced quite a few cards made to look like the one described in the articl

The Trump Administration Reportedly Has Extensive Logs of Epstein Money Transfers, Refuses to Release Them

It's not just a purported "client list" of late billionaire sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein — the Trump administration is reportedly hiding $1.5 billion worth of suspicious banking transactions from the public. As the New York Times reports, senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), who heads the Senate Finance Committee, is calling for enormous money transfers sent to and by Epstein — including wire transfers from wealthy individuals and payments to numerous women — to be made public. It's the polar opposite of

Musk Accuses Trump of Covering Up Epstein Scandal

It's no wonder multi-hyphenate billionaire Elon Musk sees the Jeffrey Epstein crisis as an enormous opportunity to score political points. The situation has driven a massive wedge between president Donald Trump and his MAGA base. A furious Trump has repeatedly attempted to pour cold water on conspiracy theories surrounding the late sex criminal billionaire's mysterious death and the existence of a purported "client list" — efforts that only enraged his supporters even further. In a Twitter spr

Metadata Shows That Critical Minutes Were Deleted From the Epstein Video

Try as he might, President Donald Trump is failing miserably to get the world to move on from the still-unfolding Jeffrey Epstein crisis. Trump's loyal fan base devolved into a cesspool of conspiracy theories after the White House walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, concluding that Epstein had no "client list" and that the sex criminal had killed himself in jail, rather than being killed to keep him silent. In a wildly backfired attempt to sweep the affair under the rug

‘Whatever She Thinks Is Credible’: Trump Says Pam Bondi Should Release Part of Epstein Files

President Donald Trump angered his own supporters recently when his U.S. Department of Justice said it wouldn’t be releasing any more information about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. But after days of outrage, including from the Deputy Director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, Trump is now signaling that Attorney General Pam Bondi might release something. Still, don’t expect to see anything that would make Trump look bad. Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Tuesday and was asked

Musk Calls on Trump to Release Epstein Files

President Donald Trump's loyal MAGA base is in shambles over his administration's handling of files related to the deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein — and Trump's friend-turned-enemy Elon Musk is twisting the knife. Last week, White House officials walked back claims about the late billionaire sex criminal, arguing that there wasn't a "client list" full of celebrities, and that his cause of death in a New York City prison cell was the result of a suicide, not murder. The terse announcement

Trump Is Losing His Army of Internet Alpha Males Over the Epstein Files

“Cover-up.” That’s the word ricocheting through the manosphere, echoing across X feeds and podcast episodes after the Trump administration released the so-called Epstein files, and declared the case closed. The backlash was instant and fierce. These were Donald Trump’s most vocal defenders in the 2024 campaign: tradcons, alpha bros, influencers, and masculine revivalists who painted Trump as a bulwark against the liberal elite and the “woke” takeover of America. They helped deliver young, disaf

Dan Bongino Might Quit FBI as ‘Epstein Files’ Scandal Boils Over: Reports

Dan Bongino, the deputy director of the FBI, didn’t show up to work on Friday and is thinking about resigning from the agency after clashing with Attorney General Pam Bondi about the so-called Epstein files, according to reports from Axios and CNN. Earlier this year, Bondi promised to release more information about the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his jail cell in 2019, but the Attorney General declared this week that the case was closed and there would be no more disclo

Metadata Shows the FBI’s ‘Raw’ Jeffrey Epstein Prison Video Was Likely Modified

The United States Department of Justice this week released nearly 11 hours of what it described as “full raw” surveillance footage from a camera positioned nearby Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell the night before he was found dead. The release was intended to address conspiracy theories about Epstein’s apparent suicide in federal custody. But instead of putting those suspicions to rest, it may fuel them further. Metadata embedded in the video and analyzed by WIRED and independent video forensics e

A Flustered Pam Bondi Tries to Explain Why a Minute Was Missing From the Epstein Jail Video

Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked by reporters Tuesday about Jeffrey Epstein, causing President Donald Trump, who was sitting near her at the White House, to become indignant that anyone was still asking about the sex offender who was found dead in a jail cell in 2019. Bondi gave a very confusing response about both her past comments on Epstein and a one-minute gap in the video released by the U.S. Department of Justice. But only after Trump berated the reporter for even asking about Epstein

DOJ Releases Video of Jeffrey Epstein’s Jail Cell, but There’s a Minute Missing

The U.S. Department of Justice has released video from the jail in New York where Jeffrey Epstein was held, recorded the day he died in 2019. The release is part of a campaign by the Trump regime to convince skeptical Americans that the child sex offender really did kill himself. But the video is only creating more conspiracy theories because there appears to be about one minute missing. The video released by DOJ, from inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center, begins at 7:30 p.m. on August 9
