  Mega Edition: The Ghislaine Maxwell Jury Zero's In On The Transcripts (9/17/26) 18.09.2026 46mnt

  As jurors deliberated Ghislaine Maxwell’s fate in December 2021, they repeatedly returned to the trial record and asked Judge Alison Nathan for transcripts of key testimony rather than relying solely on memory. Early in deliberations, they requested the testimony of several accusers, including Jane, Annie and Carolyn, and later asked for transcripts from witnesses who either corroborated parts of those accounts or helped establish the mechanics of Jeffrey Epstein’s world. Among those requests were testimony from Jane’s former boyfriend, former Palm Beach police officer Gregory Parkinson and Epstein pilot David Rodgers. The jurors also asked for a definition of “enticement” and posed specific legal questions about how Maxwell’s alleged conduct fit individual counts, showing that they were closely matching witness testimony against the elements prosecutors were required to prove. Their requests were detailed enough that they asked for some testimony to be assembled in binders, along with different colored Post-it notes, poster board and highlighters to help organize the evidence.The scrutiny intensified on December 29, the day the verdict was ultimately returned. Jurors requested transcripts from several additional witnesses, including testimony from the defense expert on memory, indicating that they were weighing not only the accusers’ accounts but also the defense argument that decades-old memories could be distorted or unreliable. They never sent Judge Nathan a note saying they were deadlocked; instead, their written messages said deliberations were progressing while they continued reviewing testimony witness by witness. After days of requesting and comparing transcripts, the jury went silent for several hours before announcing it had reached a verdict. Maxwell was convicted on five of the six counts submitted to the jury, making the transcript requests an unusually visible window into a deliberation process in which jurors appeared to be methodically testing the testimony against both the government’s allegations and the defense’s attacks on memory and credibility.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  How The Federal Government Broke The Law When It Comes to Epstein And The CVRA (Part 2) 18.09.2026 16mnt

  The Crime Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) was supposed to guarantee fairness and transparency for victims—making sure they were informed, included, and respected in the legal process. But when Jeffrey Epstein came along, that promise evaporated. Federal prosecutors secretly cut a Non-Prosecution Agreement that protected not only Epstein but also his “potential co-conspirators,” violating the very law designed to stop such backroom deals. The victims weren’t told; they found out months later from the press. The same Department of Justice that preaches accountability deliberately hid the deal, broke federal law, and then argued that the CVRA didn’t apply because no federal charges were filed—an argument so twisted it turned their own crime into a loophole.Instead of punishment, Epstein got 13 months in county jail with daily work release, while the prosecutors who betrayed the victims got promotions. The courts sided with the government, ruling that since the feds never formally charged Epstein, the survivors technically weren’t “victims” under the CVRA. The result was a legal farce that showed how easily the system bends for the powerful. The law that was supposed to protect victims ended up protecting predators, proving once again that in America, justice isn’t blind—it just looks away when the wrong people are involved.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Tyler Robinson Preliminary Hearing Transcripts (Day 1 Part 21) (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 9mnt

  Day one of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing on July 6, 2026, largely centered on prosecutors beginning to construct a timeline of Charlie Kirk’s killing at Utah Valley University and establishing the authenticity of the surveillance footage and investigative records they intended to use against Robinson. Former UVU police officer Chris Bagley described the moment the gunshot rang out during Kirk’s September 10, 2025 event and the chaos that followed, while Utah State Bureau of Investigation agent David Hull walked the court through the enormous video-review effort undertaken after the shooting. Hull testified that investigators examined hundreds of hours of surveillance footage and ultimately tracked a person they believed was Robinson moving around the UVU campus at several different points that day. Prosecutors introduced surveillance recordings from multiple locations as they attempted to connect the person seen approaching the campus, moving toward the area surrounding the Losee Center, and later leaving the area to Robinson. Three separate videos depicting Kirk being shot were admitted, although Judge Tony Graf determined that their graphic nature warranted restricting their display to the attorneys’ and judge’s monitors rather than broadcasting them throughout the courtroom. Kirk’s widow, Erika, and his parents left the courtroom while the videos were reviewed. Prosecutors also introduced Kirk’s autopsy report through Hull, which listed his cause of death as a gunshot wound to the neck and the manner of death as homicideThe defense spent much of the first day attacking the manner in which the prosecution was getting its evidence into the record rather than attempting to disprove the entire prosecution theory at that stage. Kathryn Nester and Robinson’s attorneys repeatedly raised hearsay, foundation and authentication objections, arguing that investigators were being permitted to introduce reports, statements and records created by other people without those individuals appearing personally to testify. Judge Graf overruled most of those objections, reflecting the substantially lower evidentiary threshold governing a Utah preliminary hearing, whose purpose was only to determine whether probable cause existed to send Robinson to trial rather than whether prosecutors could prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. One significant exception involved an edited compilation of surveillance footage, which Graf declined to admit in that form and required prosecutors to replace with the underlying unedited material. Hull’s testimony also revealed the scope of the prosecution’s surveillance theory: investigators claimed Robinson had appeared on or around the UVU campus multiple times on September 10 and that they were attempting to stitch those appearances together into a continuous identification of the alleged shooter. By the end of day one, prosecutors had established the killing itself, the medical cause of Kirk’s death, the existence and authenticity of substantial video evidence and the beginnings of their effort to identify Robinson as the person captured in that footage. They had not yet presented many of the pieces expected to become more consequential later in the hearing, including the rifle and DNA evidence, Robinson’s alleged communications and admissions, and testimony concerning his roommate Lance Twiggs.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Hillary Clinton And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Talk With Congress (Part 11) (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 12mnt

  Hillary Clinton’s February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton’s relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as no more than a “casual acquaintance,” said she did not consider her a friend and attributed Maxwell’s presence around the Clinton family largely to her relationship with longtime Clinton friend Ted Waitt. Clinton acknowledged that Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding, but said she had no specific recollection of speaking with her there and believed Maxwell attended as Waitt’s guest. She also said she did not remember Maxwell visiting the Clintons’ Chappaqua home, despite Maxwell later saying she had been there several times, and said she had no knowledge of Epstein having connections to American or foreign intelligence services.The questioning became much more contentious when lawmakers turned to Bill Clinton’s documented relationship with Epstein. Hillary characterized her husband’s relationship with Epstein as “limited” and primarily connected to his use of Epstein’s airplane, said she had no knowledge of Bill visiting Little St. James and maintained there was no evidence connecting him to Epstein’s crimes. When lawmakers pressed her about photographs showing Bill Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and young women during trips, Clinton acknowledged seeing some of those photographs but said she had not become curious enough to investigate the circumstances herself, calling it simply “unfortunate” that her husband ever had dealings with Epstein. She also denied personally soliciting money from Epstein and said she was unaware of anyone doing so on her behalf, while acknowledging she knew little about whether Epstein played any role around Clinton Foundation or Clinton Global Initiative activities. The transcript therefore presented a consistent Clinton defense: she said she personally had essentially no relationship with Epstein and only a peripheral relationship with Maxwell, while repeatedly separating herself from questions about Bill Clinton by telling lawmakers that he would have to answer for his own conduct.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger’s Family Backs His Challenge to the Guilty Plea (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 16mnt

  Bryan Kohberger’s family publicly backed his effort to undo the guilty plea that resulted in four consecutive life sentences for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. In a statement to ABC News, the family said its support did not come from disregard for the victims or their families, but from a desire to see what it called the “complete and unvarnished truth” emerge through a full trial rather than through the plea agreement. Kohberger, who pleaded guilty in July 2025, is now seeking post-conviction relief and claims he was pressured into admitting to crimes he says he did not commit. He has alleged that his former defense team misled him about the strength of his case, failed to properly review or disclose potentially exculpatory evidence and convinced him that entering a false guilty plea was legally acceptable.The effort has also brought renewed attention to arguments from forensic criminologist Brent Turvey, who had been retained by Kohberger’s defense before the plea. Turvey told ABC News that Kohberger and his family were not fully informed about evidence he believed supported the defense, including concerns about how the knife sheath was handled, FBI hair analysis that he said excluded Kohberger, and weaknesses he saw in the cellphone and vehicle-location evidence. Kohberger has separately asked for Judge Steven Hippler to be removed from the post-conviction proceedings, citing harsh comments Hippler made at sentencing, and has asked that the case be returned to Latah County. A hearing on the judge and venue requests is scheduled for October 15, 2026, while the evidentiary hearing on Kohberger’s post-conviction petition is set for June 17, 2027.to contact me:[email protected]:Bryan Kohberger's family says they support his attempt to challenge conviction - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  New Lawsuit Targets Epstein Estate Over Photos of Underage Girls (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 13mnt

  Two women identified in court papers as Jane Doe and Amy filed a proposed federal class-action lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein’s estate, alleging that their photographs were among a large collection of child sexual abuse material found in Epstein’s possession. The lawsuit claims Epstein and unnamed co-conspirators maintained a “modeling book” containing nude or partially nude sexualized images of children and that the collection formed part of a broader, decades-long pattern of possessing, transporting, producing and distributing illegal material. Jane Doe alleged that Epstein obtained partially nude photographs of her when she was about 12 years old, while Amy alleged that pornographic images of her, known as the “Misty” series, were also found among materials seized from Epstein’s properties. No CSAM charges were ever brought against Epstein, and the estate’s co-executors, Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn, were named as defendants in their roles administering the estate.The lawsuit also accused authorities and the estate of failing to identify and notify many of the women and girls whose images were found in Epstein’s files. The plaintiffs said “few if any” of the people depicted were told that federal investigators possessed their photographs and asked the court to establish a coordinated, supervised process to identify and notify other potential victims. Their attorneys argued that the issue represented a largely unresolved part of the Epstein scandal, separate from the trafficking charges that received most of the public attention. The suit sought class-action status, unspecified damages and a formal accounting and preservation of the materials, with lawyers saying survivors deserved to know whether their images were in Epstein’s collection and to have an opportunity to seek legal redress.to contact me:[email protected]:Women sue Epstein’s estate, saying their photos were found in his vast child porn collectionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Congress Uses Unanimous Consent to Hold Leon Black in Contempt (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 11mnt

  Congress escalated its confrontation with Leon Black on September 16, 2026, when the House voted by unanimous consent to hold the billionaire former Apollo CEO in criminal contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with subpoenas tied to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The House Oversight Committee had demanded that Black produce nondisclosure agreements in his possession, including any that referenced Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, and sit for a sworn deposition. Black had earlier walked out of a voluntary interview after refusing to answer questions about NDAs, then sued the committee rather than comply with the subpoenas. Black has said he knew nothing about Epstein’s sexual abuse and has argued that Congress is overreaching and lacks a valid legislative purpose for seeking such sweeping private records. His attorneys also contend the committee is demanding information that does not exist and is trying to pry into NDAs unrelated to Epstein.At the same time, Oversight Chairman James Comer introduced the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act, legislation aimed directly at the use of NDAs in sexual-abuse cases. The bill would void confidentiality provisions that prevent survivors from speaking about abuse and would also allow other people with relevant information to disclose facts about that abuse. The move came after reporting that some Epstein accusers had signed confidential settlements with associates of Epstein whom they had also accused of misconduct. Comer said the investigation had shown how powerful men could use NDAs to silence survivors, making Black’s refusal to produce his agreements part of a larger congressional fight over secrecy in the Epstein network. The contempt vote now allows House Speaker Mike Johnson to send a criminal referral to the Justice Department, while Black’s lawsuit against the committee continues separately in federal court.to contact me:[email protected]:Congress Battles Jeffrey Epstein Patron Leon Black Over NDAs - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Police Expand Prince Andrew Investigation to His Security Detail (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 11mnt

  British investigators were continuing to expand their examination of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein by reaching out to current and former royal protection officers who may have witnessed relevant conduct while assigned to him. The Metropolitan Police said officers were being asked to consider whether anything they “saw or heard” during their service could assist ongoing reviews, while Thames Valley Police said it was working through a “significant amount of information” connected to its separate investigation. The renewed focus followed claims from former protection officer Paul Page, who alleged that Andrew repeatedly bypassed normal Buckingham Palace security procedures to bring women into the royal residence without properly recording their names. Page said he eventually sent a dossier to the FBI after becoming frustrated with what he viewed as a lack of attention from British authorities. His claims remained uncorroborated, and Andrew continued to deny wrongdoing.Investigators were expected to examine the credibility of Page’s account, compare it against other officers’ recollections and available security records, and determine whether the alleged visitor-log practices formed part of a wider pattern connected to Andrew’s association with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The scrutiny went beyond palace visitors: British police were also reviewing material concerning Andrew’s travel, his official role as a trade envoy, allegations that confidential government information may have been shared with Epstein, and whether UK airports or royal security arrangements intersected with Epstein-linked trafficking activity. Three forces were conducting live Epstein-related inquiries, while a national police review was assessing whether newly released U.S. files pointed to broader violence, exploitation or trafficking in Britain. The central question was therefore shifting from Andrew’s personal relationship with Epstein to what people around him, including sworn protection officers, may have witnessed and whether those observations were ever properly recorded or acted upon.to contact me:[email protected]:What Andrew-Epstein police will examine next as they appeal to protection officersBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Bill Gates And The Transformation Of His Epstein Story Over The Years (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 42mnt

  In his August 2021 interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper, Bill Gates described his association with Jeffrey Epstein as a serious mistake and said the relationship grew out of Epstein’s claims that he could help raise enormous sums of money for global-health philanthropy. Gates said he had “several dinners” with Epstein after first meeting him in 2011, despite Epstein already having been convicted of soliciting a minor. Gates told Cooper that once it became clear Epstein’s promised philanthropic connections were not producing anything, he ended the relationship. He acknowledged that simply spending time with Epstein had given the convicted sex offender credibility and called that decision a “huge mistake.” Cooper raised the issue in the context of reports that Melinda French Gates had been deeply troubled by her husband’s dealings with Epstein and that the relationship had become one of several issues surrounding the Gates marriage. Gates did not offer a detailed explanation for why repeated meetings were necessary beyond the proposed philanthropy and instead emphasized regret over having associated with Epstein at all.Gates gave a similar but noticeably terse account during a September 2021 PBS NewsHour interview with Judy Woodruff. When Woodruff asked what Gates knew about Epstein’s criminal background while meeting with him, Gates said Epstein claimed to know wealthy people who might contribute to global health initiatives and again characterized the meetings as a mistake that produced nothing. Woodruff pressed him on reports that the relationship involved multiple meetings over several years and specifically asked what Gates did after learning about Epstein’s background. Gates largely repeated that he regretted the dinners and said there was “absolutely nothing new” to add. When Woodruff asked what lesson he took from the experience, Gates responded that Epstein was dead and said people generally had to be careful before pivoting back to the accomplishments of the Gates Foundation. Taken together, the Cooper and PBS interviews presented the same basic explanation: Gates said Epstein was useful to him only as a potential conduit to philanthropic money, admitted that associating with him was a major error, but offered relatively little detail about why the relationship continued as long as it did after Epstein’s sex-offense conviction was already public.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Girls With No Names (9/17/26) 17.09.2026 49mnt

  Jeffrey Epstein’s empire was not only built on money and connections but on silence. Alongside Jean-Luc Brunel, he deliberately targeted vulnerable girls from Eastern Europe and South America, knowing cultural shame, disbelief, and poverty would keep them voiceless. Promised modeling careers, housekeeping jobs, or education, these young women instead found themselves trapped, their passports taken, their dignity stolen, and their futures erased. Epstein weaponized entire societies against them, understanding that in many cultures, speaking out meant exile, ridicule, or dishonor. Their silence was not incidental—it was the very architecture of his abuse.Even in death, Epstein’s greatest weapon endures. While some survivors bravely stepped forward, countless nameless victims remain erased from the story, still carrying the silence he engineered. Their absence is not a void—it is evidence of crimes too vast to ever be fully told. Justice has been partial, selective, sanitized, and until the world acknowledges the invisible victims, Epstein’s legacy of silence still shields him. The loudest scream in this story is the one we cannot hear, and if we forget it, then Epstein wins again.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Michelle Pagan And The Interview With Epstein's First Known Accuser (9/16/26) 17.09.2026 1j

  Palm Beach Police Detective Michelle Pagan’s interview with the 14-year-old girl who became the first known complainant in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation provided the account that effectively opened the case. The teenager told Pagan that an older girl had offered her an easy way to make a few hundred dollars by giving a massage to a wealthy man in Palm Beach. She was taken to Epstein’s mansion, led upstairs and shown into a room containing a massage table. According to the girl, Epstein entered wearing only a towel, removed it and lay naked on the table while giving her instructions. She told Pagan that she became frightened and uncomfortable as the encounter escalated far beyond an ordinary massage. Epstein allegedly directed her to remove clothing, straddle his back and continue massaging him while he was naked, before masturbating and introducing a vibrator into the encounter. The girl said she was paid several hundred dollars before leaving and later identified Epstein from a photograph.The interview was especially important because it quickly gave investigators reason to believe they were dealing with something larger than an isolated incident. The girl explained that she herself had been recruited through another teenager and that Epstein had asked for her name and telephone number, while the payment structure created an incentive for girls to bring additional girls to the house. After she told a friend at school about receiving money for the massage, word spread, a dispute followed and adults eventually contacted police, setting off the Palm Beach investigation. Pagan’s report documented the girl becoming emotional and crying while describing what happened, and within days investigators began hearing similar accounts from other teenagers. What started with one 14-year-old describing a paid “massage” therefore gave police their first clear view of the recruitment system that would become central to the entire Epstein case: teenage girls were brought to the mansion for money, sexual activity was introduced during the massage and some were encouraged to recruit the next girl.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Jeffrey Epstein And His Obsession With Transhumanism 17.09.2026 14mnt

  Jeffrey Epstein had a deeply unsettling fascination with transhumanism, a fringe scientific ideology focused on using advanced technologies like genetic engineering and artificial intelligence to “improve” or even transcend the human species. For years, Epstein cultivated relationships with prominent scientists, funding research and hosting intellectual salons to promote his own bizarre vision of the future. One of his most disturbing ambitions was to “seed the human race with his DNA” by impregnating multiple women—reportedly as many as 20—at his Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico. Epstein described this vision to scientists and guests during private dinners and conferences, presenting it as part of a eugenics-inspired project to propagate his genes across humanity. He also expressed a desire to have his head and genitals cryogenically frozen in hopes of being revived later—a grotesque extension of his obsession with immortality.Epstein’s involvement in the scientific world wasn’t just casual philanthropy—it was a calculated attempt to embed himself within elite circles and launder his public image through academic legitimacy. He courted renowned figures like Stephen Hawking, George Church, and Murray Gell-Mann, using his money and influence to insert himself into high-level conversations on AI, neuroscience, and biology. Several of these scientists would later admit they were unaware of the depth of his criminal behavior during their interactions. Still, Epstein's promotion of transhumanist goals—particularly ones steeped in eugenicist thinking—raised red flags about the type of future he envisioned: one dominated by elite control, genetic manipulation, and the erasure of moral constraints in pursuit of technological supremacy.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Jeffrey Epstein And The Men With The Pocket Protectors 17.09.2026 13mnt

  Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the world of science were not accidental — they were strategic. He courted some of the most brilliant minds at Harvard, MIT, and other elite institutions, presenting himself as a patron of innovation and philanthropy. Epstein used his fortune to endow programs, fund research, and host lavish dinners that mixed Nobel laureates with billionaires. Many of these “men with the pocket protectors” — physicists, geneticists, and computer scientists — were enticed by his charm and his promise of funding. They justified their proximity to him as a necessary evil for the sake of their research, conveniently ignoring the whispers about his criminal past. Even after his 2008 conviction, Epstein’s Rolodex of scientists remained active, his money still circulating through institutions that should have known better.In truth, Epstein exploited the intellectual vanity of academia. He loved surrounding himself with geniuses because it elevated his own image — transforming a convicted sex offender into a “visionary benefactor.” Meanwhile, many of those scientists turned a blind eye, preferring the security of his checks to the discomfort of their conscience. Harvard, for instance, accepted millions from Epstein even after his conviction, and prominent figures like Martin Nowak and George Church maintained ties long past the point of plausible ignorance. The relationship was mutually parasitic: Epstein gained legitimacy and access to powerful networks, while the scientists gained funding and proximity to his wealth. It was the perfect marriage of intellect and moral cowardice, wrapped in the language of progress.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Wrongful-Death Claim Targets Utah Over Charlie Kirk Security Failures (9/16/26) 16.09.2026 10mnt

  Charlie Kirk’s family took the first formal step toward a wrongful-death lawsuit against Utah officials, alleging that a series of security failures at Utah Valley University left him vulnerable to the rooftop gunman who killed him on September 10, 2025. The notice of claim, filed by Kirk’s widow Erika and his parents, accused UVU, its former president Astrid Tuminez, campus police chief Jeffrey Long and the state of Utah of making “reckless decisions” before the event. The family’s attorneys pointed to the lack of rooftop surveillance, bag checks, metal detectors and a secure perimeter, as well as what they described as inadequate police staffing and poor coordination with outside law enforcement. Only six campus officers were assigned to an event attended by roughly 3,000 people, and the family also alleged that officials failed to conduct an adequate risk assessment despite the obvious vulnerability created by surrounding buildings and rooftops.The claim also alleged that there were no first responders immediately positioned to treat Kirk after he was shot, forcing him to be taken to a hospital in a private vehicle rather than an ambulance. Kirk’s attorneys argued that the danger of a rooftop attack should have been especially apparent after the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by a rooftop gunman the previous year. UVU said it would respond through its established procedures and noted that it had since begun expanding its police force, while the Utah Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on potential litigation. The filing did not specify how much money the family might ultimately seek, but under Utah law the notice was a prerequisite to bringing a formal negligence or wrongful-death lawsuit. The criminal case against Tyler Robinson remained separate, with Robinson charged with aggravated murder and facing the possibility of the death penalty if convicted.to contact me:[email protected]:Charlie Kirk's family says security failures by Utah officials led to his assassinationBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Murder In Moscow: Idaho Officials Blast Planned Release of Victims’ Unredacted Images (9/16/26) 16.09.2026 15mnt

  North Idaho investigators said they were “deeply troubled” after true-crime content creators claimed they had obtained unredacted crime-scene photographs showing the bodies and wounds of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin and were preparing to publish them online. A YouTube creator from the BronxTails True Crime channel said she had access to unredacted images and suggested more could soon be released. In response, the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office, Idaho State Police and Moscow Police Department issued a joint statement condemning any publication of the material, calling it an invasion of the victims’ privacy and saying whoever supplied the images had violated the trust and professional obligations that came with access to them. The agencies said the source of the photographs remained unknown and stressed that releasing graphic images of the victims served no legitimate purpose of transparency or accountability.The threatened release also reopened longstanding anger from the victims’ families over crime-scene imagery appearing online. Some redacted photographs had already been released through public-records requests in 2025, reportedly without the families being warned beforehand, and the controversy helped spur a new Idaho law exempting photographs of deceased victims from public disclosure. Ethan Chapin’s mother, Stacy Chapin, publicly pleaded for people to stop circulating the images, saying they had nothing to do with transparency and only inflicted more pain. Criminal-justice professor Danielle Slakoff said the episode illustrated the darker side of online true crime, where sensational material and unsupported speculation can generate clicks while retraumatizing families and shifting attention toward the killer rather than the victims.to contact me:[email protected]:North Idaho investigators 'deeply troubled' as content creators prepare to release unredacted photos of Moscow crime sceneBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Hillary characterized her husband’s relationship with Epstein as “limited” and primarily connected to his use of Epstein’s airplane, said she had no knowledge of Bill visiting Little St. James and maintained there was no evidence connecting him to Epstein’s crimes. When lawmakers pressed her about photographs showing Bill Clinton with Epstein, Maxwell and young women during trips, Clinton acknowledged seeing some of those photographs but said she had not become curious enough to investigate the circumstances herself, calling it simply “unfortunate” that her husband ever had dealings with Epstein. She also denied personally soliciting money from Epstein and said she was unaware of anyone doing so on her behalf, while acknowledging she knew little about whether Epstein played any role around Clinton Foundation or Clinton Global Initiative activities. The transcript therefore presented a consistent Clinton defense: she said she personally had essentially no relationship with Epstein and only a peripheral relationship with Maxwell, while repeatedly separating herself from questions about Bill Clinton by telling lawmakers that he would have to answer for his own conduct.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Hillary Clinton And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Talk With Congress (Part 8) (9/16/26) 16.09.2026 13mnt

  Hillary Clinton’s February 26, 2026 deposition before the House Oversight Committee centered on how much she knew about Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Bill Clinton’s relationship with them. Clinton repeatedly testified that she had never met Epstein, never flew on his plane, never visited Little St. James and knew nothing about his crimes before they became public. She described Maxwell as no more than a “casual acquaintance,” said she did not consider her a friend and attributed Maxwell’s presence around the Clinton family largely to her relationship with longtime Clinton friend Ted Waitt. Clinton acknowledged that Maxwell attended Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding, but said she had no specific recollection of speaking with her there and believed Maxwell attended as Waitt’s guest. She also said she did not remember Maxwell visiting the Clintons’ Chappaqua home, despite Maxwell later saying she had been there several times, and said she had no knowledge of Epstein having connections to American or foreign intelligence services.The questioning became much more contentious when lawmakers turned to Bill Clinton’s documented relationship with Epstein.

  House Panel Votes 41-0 to Hold Leon Black in Contempt (9/16/26) 16.09.2026 13mnt

  The House Oversight Committee voted unanimously, 41-0, to recommend that billionaire financier Leon Black be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas issued as part of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Chairman James Comer said Black’s testimony was important because of his long relationship with Epstein during the period when Epstein was engaged in sex trafficking. Black had previously appeared voluntarily for a transcribed interview, but that session ended after lawmakers said he refused to answer questions about nondisclosure agreements. The committee later subpoenaed him for both testimony and all NDAs to which he was a party. According to Comer, Black ultimately produced only one NDA and then failed to appear for a scheduled September 3 deposition. The contempt recommendation now moves to the full House, which would have to decide whether to formally hold him in contempt.Black has fought the subpoenas in federal court, arguing that they exceed the committee’s lawful authority and improperly seek private information unrelated to any legitimate legislative purpose. His lawyers also argued that producing the NDAs could expose women who had negotiated confidentiality and had no public connection to Epstein, while accusing Comer and ranking Democrat Robert Garcia of abusing congressional power. Black has denied wrongdoing, denied knowing about Epstein’s criminal conduct and said he regrets ever doing business with him. The committee, however, pointed to the roughly $170 million Black paid Epstein for tax and estate-planning services between 2013 and 2017 and to repeated appearances of Black’s name in Epstein-related records. More than a dozen Epstein survivors had also urged Black to comply, arguing that the NDAs could shed light on his relationship with Epstein and others in Epstein’s orbit.to contact me:[email protected]:House panel recommends Leon Black be held in contempt over Epstein inquiry subpoenas | House of Representatives | The GuardianBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
