Epstein Files

The family of the late Virginia Giuffre -- who publicly accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, and died by suicide last year -- is applauding the Andrew's arrest Thursday.

Her brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts told NBC News the arrest feels like a "surreal moment" and a "piece of justice" that Giuffre has been fighting for.

Her siblings told CBS News in a separate statement... "At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty."

The younger brother of King Charles III was arrested over suspicions of misconduct in public office after being accused of sharing confidential information with Epstein while working for the British government in 2010.

The new owner of Jeffrey Epstein's notorious Zorro Ranch in New Mexico is speaking out, claiming the property was never visited by police, and he says he welcomes any investigation ... after allegations women and girls were sex trafficked there for years.

Don Huffines — a wealthy Texas businessman and former Republican state senator with ties to MAGA — posted a message on X Monday night, saying he and his family purchased the ranch in 2024 and "maintained an open line of communication with local authorities."

However, law enforcement never requested access to the Santa Fe property even though Epstein was accused of sex trafficking and sexually assaulting women and girls there when he was alive, according to Huffines. There was also talk about bodies being buried on the property ... but that was never proven.

Jeffrey Epstein may have had a collection of highly poisonous plants known to produce a drug that blocks free will in its victims ... according to newly discovered emails in the last document dump of the Epstein Files.

In one of the uncovered messages, Epstein sends an email asking about his "trumpet plants at nursery."

For background ... Angel's Trumpet plants are extremely toxic and produce a drug called scopolamine, which is known to basically turn humans into zombies, wiping them of memory and eliminating their free will. Severe intoxication reportedly may even cause paralysis and death.

Even more alarming, scopolamine reportedly doesn't show up on toxicology reports.

Billionaire Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has resigned from the top spot of major logistics company DP World ... after his links to Jeffrey Epstein put the business in jeopardy.

The multinational company -- owned by the government of the city of Dubai in the UAE -- put out a statement Friday announcing a new world chairman and new group CEO ... positions held by Sulayem.

While the statement doesn't actually name Sulayem, its meaning is clear ... the multibillionaire is officially out the door.

President Donald Trump and his party might hate Somalia ... but, at least Somalia executes pedophiles there instead of electing them -- so says Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The Democratic Congresswoman from Minnesota took to social media, apparently to express her frustration with POTUS, after Trump badmouthed the country where she was born in a Tuesday night Fox Business interview ... in which he claimed Somali immigrants are damaging the state.

Omar -- who moved to the U.S. at 12 years old -- posted on her X account ... "The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them." Her account has more than 2.7 million followers.

Joe Rogan got an unwanted invitation to meet with Jeffrey Epstein ... but the popular podcaster quickly turned it down, saying, "B*tch, are you high?"

On Tuesday, Rogan was chatting with Cheryl Hines on an episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" when he brought up that he once interviewed Lawrence Krauss -- a theoretical physicist -- and Epstein's name crawled into their convo.

According to Rogan, Krauss spoke with Epstein about potentially meeting Rogan in a 2017 email exchange, which wound up in the Epstein Files. Epstein wrote that he listened to Rogan's discussion with Krauss and found the podcaster to be "funny." The late pedophile then asked Krauss to set up an intro with Rogan.

Donald Trump told cops "everyone" knew about Jeffrey Epstein's evil acts with underage girls ... this according to an official FBI report.

The report -- several of the millions of Epstein document pages released by Trump's Department of Justice in recent weeks -- lays out the Palm Beach Police Department's investigation into the financier during the early 2000s.

While the document is heavily redacted, it's a 2019 interview with former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who confirmed as much to the Miami Herald.

Jeffrey Epstein had a massive stash of videos depicting young, scantily clad females -- and we're now getting a glimpse into the pedophile's perverted world -- although none of it is criminal, at least according to the Department of Justice.

The DOJ recently released roughly 2,000 redacted videos as part of the latest dump of the Epstein Files ... and while you can see several of the victims in their underwear ... at no point do you ever see Epstein, or anyone else, touching or engaging with them in any way.

Check out the video showing a compilation of women whose faces the DOJ has concealed to protect their identities. Most of them are striking various poses or mimicking models walking a runway.

Considering Epstein's reputation, there's an obvious reason for concern ... but the feds say there were no crimes committed in these videos. In a 2025 memo, an FBI agent wrote they confiscated videos and photos from Epstein's electronic devices at his residences in NYC and Palm Beach.

2/9/26 1:45 PM PT -- Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney David Markus relayed a message to President Donald Trump Monday, posting on X ... "If this Committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path. Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President Trump."

The post continued ... "Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation."

2/9/26 7:25 AM PT -- Ghislaine Maxwell did exactly what Ro Khanna said she would ... pleading the Fifth Amendment during Monday's deposition in front of the House Oversight Committee.

Ghislaine Maxwell plans to take the Fifth on all questions related to President Trump's association with Jeffrey Epstein during her high-stakes deposition Monday in front of Congress.

Ro Khanna (D-CA) fired off a letter to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY), saying that Maxwell intends to invoke her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself when she's asked about the Trump-Epstein connection.

Ro even provided a road map on the questions he's going to ask Ghislaine about Trump's "well-documented" social relationship with Epstein. He says he wants to know if Epstein arranged or facilitated access to underage girls for Trump.

Tony Hawk's denying he got married on Jeffrey Epstein's infamous private island ... and he's describing the accusation of an association with the dead convicted sex offender "a narrative of nonsense."

FYI ... the pro skateboarder's name popped up in the new tranche of the latest Epstein Files release ... his name came up during a 2024 conversation between a tipster and a threat intake examiner at the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center.

The tipster claimed she'd been trafficked to Epstein's private island, Little Saint James, and said she was there when Hawk got married on the island.

Hawk rejected the claim on Instagram Thursday, detailing where each of his four wedding ceremonies took place. While his third wedding to Lhotse Merriam -- they were married from 2006 to 2011 -- did happen on an island ... it was on Tavarua in Fiji, in the Pacific Ocean ... about 8,500 miles from Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, in the Caribbean Sea.

Jeffrey Epstein was put on the hot seat during a 2010 deposition over his criminal conviction for soliciting a minor for prostitution ... but the pedophile financier didn't have a clue who his victim was, and even asked a lawyer, "What minor?"

In the stunning clip, Epstein tells the lawyer deposing him that he didn't know the name of his underage victim, but pled guilty anyway in 2009 to soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18. He also pleaded guilty to another count of soliciting prostitution and was sentenced to 18 months in jail in Florida under a plea deal with prosecutors.

The 2010 deposition, released in the latest tranche of Epstein Files, opens with the lawyer repeatedly asking Epstein if any female he interacted with was a prostitute prior to meeting him. Epstein gives the same response each time, saying he pleaded guilty to solicitation of prostitution. He then falsely claims he never pleaded guilty to soliciting sex from an underage prostitute.

While most of the country was aghast at Anthony Weiner's relationship with a 15-year-old girl back in 2016, Woody Allen's wife, Soon-Yi Previn, seemed more disgusted with his victim ... according to an email exchange with Jeffrey Epstein.

In just-uncovered messages -- part of the millions of Epstein Files documents released by the Department of Justice -- Soon-Yi calls the minor "a despicable and disgusting person."

In one email, dated September 22, 2016, Soon-Yi writes ... "I know. It's an incredible story. You have to feel sorry for him. He can't seem to learn," referring to Weiner.

Then she takes a turn, going right at the underage female involved, writing ... "I also thought it was disgusting what the 15-year-old did to him."

She continued ... "I hate women who take advantage of guys and she is definitely one of them. She knew exactly what she was doing and how vulnerable Wiener was and she reeled him in like fish to bait."

Jeffrey Epstein's suicide in his jail cell was a gruesome end to his long campaign of alleged sexual abuse of underage females ... and now we're getting an up-close look at the aftermath of his lurid death.

The Department of Justice recently released a slew of photos as part of the latest Epstein Files document dump, which show the convicted pedophile lying dead inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan on August 10, 2019. The images capture a shirtless Epstein on a stretcher surrounded by paramedics trying to revive him, to no avail.

The pics also show Epstein's messy jail cell with bed sheets and clothing strewn everywhere -- and the piece of fabric used to kill himself dangling from his bed frame.

President Donald Trump attacked a female reporter for "not smiling" on Tuesday ... after she asked him about the most recent release of Epstein Files material.

Watch the CNN clip here ... during a press conference Tuesday in the Oval Office, CNN Anchor and White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked Trump if he'd read through the latest massive trove of documents.

Trump answered, "No, I have a lot of things I'm doing."

Collins pressed him, saying some alleged victims' names were not redacted.

Trump said ... "I think it's really time for the country to get on to something else really, now that nothing came out about me, other than it was a conspiracy against me, literally, by Epstein and other people."

The New York Times found at least 38,000 references to Trump, Melania Trump, Trump's Mar-a-Lago club, and other related words.

Collins followed up with a question about people saying they want justice from the investigation. Trump responded by calling Collins "the worst reporter."

Trump said, "You know she's a young woman ... I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile. I’ve known you for 10 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a smile on your face. You know why you're not smiling? Because you know you're not telling the truth."

Trump kept going, calling CNN a "dishonest organization" that should be "ashamed" of Collins.

Collins pointed out she was asking about survivors of sexual abuse.

He's insulted Collins specifically during both his terms in office, most recently in a December Truth Social post -- misspelling her name "Caitlin Collin’s" -- calling her "Stupid and Nasty."

And it's not the first time Trump's attacked a reporter for asking him about the Epstein Files ... he called Bloomberg White House Correspondent Catherine Lucey "piggy" after she  asked him about the files in November.

After Melinda French Gates issued a public plea for her ex-husband Bill Gates to address his mentions in the Epstein Files ... Bill is doing just that in a new -- at times, uncomfortable -- interview.

The infamous files show Epstein appeared to send emails to himself claiming Bill got a sexually transmitted disease and referencing "consequences of sex with russian girls" ... and claiming Bill asked Epstein to give him antibiotics to secretly slip Melinda to prevent her from realizing she'd allegedly caught anything.

In an interview with 9 News Australia, Bill said ... "Apparently, Jeffrey wrote an email to himself. That email was never sent, the email is false. I don't know what his thinking was there."

Brett Ratner’s downplaying his connection to Jeffrey Epstein ... and he’s claiming he “didn’t have a personal relationship” with the late pedophile.

ICYMI ... the director was photographed alongside the late financier in a set of photos included in a recently released batch of the Epstein Files. The two were seen lounging on a couch with two women, whose faces were redacted, in one of the photos.

The photos featuring Ratner are not dated, and the director is not accused of any wrongdoing in the files.
