Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for her involvement in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, has agreed to testify virtually before a congressional committee investigating the government’s handling of the Epstein case. Despite previous claims that she would invoke her Fifth Amendment right, her legal team has stated she will not testify. The committee, led by Chairman James Comer, has issued a summons and previously declined to offer immunity, but Maxwell’s lawyers argue testifying without immunity and from prison poses security risks and undermines the process. The House Oversight Committee has also voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt for refusing to comply with subpoenas related to the investigation.

The judge’s decision to decline the appointment of a special master to oversee the release of the remaining Epstein files, while legally sound in its reasoning, has ignited a firestorm of frustration and suspicion. The core of the ruling hinges on the concept of “standing.” It seems the judge determined that the congressmen who requested the special master didn’t have the necessary legal standing to do so, meaning they weren’t directly impacted by the issue in a way that granted them the right to bring the case forward. However, the judge seemingly offered a subtle hint, suggesting that victims of Epstein’s crimes, who would likely have the standing needed, could bring the case themselves.… Continue reading
Epstein survivor asks judge to enforce law demanding release of all files, and this is where the story begins, with Haley Robson, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, taking a stand. She’s not just any survivor; she’s actively pushing for transparency, demanding a judge enforce a law that should have already opened the floodgates on the truth. The law, meant to expose the full extent of Epstein’s network, seems to be hitting a roadblock, and Robson is the one calling out the delay.
This isn’t about vague promises of accountability; it’s about specific files. Robson points to hundreds of thousands of documents, including emails and crucial records from investigations, that are being kept under wraps.… Continue reading
One month after the deadline for releasing all Jeffrey Epstein files, only a fraction of the records have been made public, frustrating victims and prompting accusations of obstruction. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have claimed the Justice Department is making illegal redactions and withholding key documents, with Khanna calling it an obstruction of justice. The Justice Department has defended its progress, citing the need to protect victim privacy through careful redactions, but victims and their representatives are concerned about selective redactions and a lack of transparency. The department has also challenged Massie and Khanna’s legal standing to request a special master to oversee the release of materials, while still acknowledging that millions of pages of materials remain outstanding.

The Secret Handshake erected a ten-foot-tall mockup of a birthday message purportedly written by Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein on the National Mall. This installation, timed to coincide with Epstein’s birthday and the anniversary of Trump’s second inauguration, aims to highlight Trump’s past ties to the convicted sex offender. The artwork, which encourages public interaction, follows similar installations last year and the ongoing release of Epstein files. This comes as lawmakers from both parties push for the complete release of these files, despite Trump’s efforts to prevent further information from coming out.

The organization behind the Trump-Epstein Friendship Statue has erected a 10-foot-tall birthday card on the National Mall. The card, located across from the U.S. Capitol, features the birthday message and sketch President Donald Trump allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. The message, released by House Democrats in September 2025, includes a crude drawing and the words “We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.” The installation, complete with a statue of stacked boxes with redacted files and markers for public messages, is set to remain on display until Friday, January 23rd.

Despite the legal mandate requiring the Department of Justice to disclose all investigative files on Jeffrey Epstein by December 19, 2025, the DOJ has failed to fully comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Concerns arise from survivors’ advocates and lawmakers as only a small fraction of the documents have been released, prompting calls for judicial intervention, including the appointment of a special master, to expedite the process. Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, co-sponsors of the act, have expressed serious concerns about the DOJ’s non-compliance, citing missed deadlines and inadequate disclosure of information. While a special master could facilitate the release of files, legal experts highlight that further litigation may be needed to ensure full transparency.

Victims’ advocates are expressing outrage over the Justice Department’s failure to meet the congressionally mandated deadline to release all Jeffrey Epstein investigative files.

Attorneys representing Epstein survivors state the department has violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which required the release of files by December 19th. Advocates are calling for an explanation and the appointment of a special master to ensure complete and timely disclosure, aiming to restore public trust in federal institutions.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse are detailing how he used the allure of higher education to ensnare and control them, including offering scholarships and arranging university admissions. Victims report Epstein’s promises of financial support were withdrawn when they did not comply with his demands, creating dependence and indebtedness. Congressional inquiries and documents reveal Epstein’s financial operation, and alleged connections with institutions like NYU, Columbia, and Harvard are under scrutiny. These actions appear to be part of a larger pattern where Epstein exploited his ties to academia to infiltrate and control young people.

In response to a request from Congressmen Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, the Justice Department stated that a judge does not have the authority to appoint an expert to oversee the release of documents in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. The congressmen, who are not parties to the criminal case, raised concerns about the slow release of documents, believing criminal violations have occurred, and sought the appointment of an independent monitor. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton argued that the court lacked the authority to grant such a request and noted that the release has been slowed by redactions to protect victim identities. The Justice Department, however, will provide an update regarding the progress of the documents soon.
