Invoices from Jeffrey Epstein’s FedEx account, recently accessed by The Ditch, indicate the account was used for shipping long after his 2019 death, with activity recorded as recently as summer 2024. These shipments originated from Gulfstream’s product support center in Savannah, Georgia, and were sent to entities including Plan D LLC, the now-dissolved firm that operated Epstein’s private jet, which Donald Trump used during the 2024 presidential campaign. FedEx has since deleted these specific invoices from Epstein’s account.

Lawyers for Epstein’s victims have also expressed concern over the potential identification of survivors within improperly redacted files, highlighting ongoing issues with transparency in the document production process.

The notion that Pam Bondi’s actions regarding the Epstein case can be chalked up to mere incompetence feels like a profound insult to the victims, and frankly, to anyone paying attention. It’s a narrative that seeks to soften the edges of what appears to be something far more deliberate and calculated. The sheer volume of discussion points to a sentiment that this isn’t about a lack of skill or understanding, but rather a conscious choice to obstruct justice.
Instead of calling it incompetence, it seems more accurate to describe Bondi’s behavior as a deeply troubling form of callousness and dishonesty. Her tenure as Attorney General of Florida, a position requiring extensive experience and knowledge, suggests she possesses the capabilities to do her job.… Continue reading

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were reportedly halted from initiating a routine civil rights investigation into a fatal shooting by an ICE agent after senior Trump administration officials intervened. These officials allegedly expressed concern that the investigation would contradict President Trump’s public narrative, leading to an order for agents to stand down and explore alternative legal theories. This interference sparked an internal revolt, resulting in the resignation of at least six federal prosecutors who deemed the actions politically motivated and legally questionable. The subsequent exodus has strained the office’s capacity to handle an increase in cases related to immigration enforcement and use-of-force incidents, raising concerns about public trust and the integrity of law enforcement investigations.

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 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.
