  Hillary Clinton And The Transcript From Her Epstein Related Talk With Congress (Part 13) (9/18/26) 18.09.2026 16min

  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.

  Judge Sullivan Gives Todd Blanche Another Deadline in Epstein Files Lawsuit (9/18/26) 18.09.2026 11min

  U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan warned acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that he could face civil contempt if the Justice Department failed to comply with the court’s orders in the lawsuit brought by journalist and attorney Katie Phang over the Epstein files. Sullivan gave Blanche until September 24 to satisfy several outstanding requirements, including providing support for disputed victim-name redactions, submitting handwritten FBI interview notes for private judicial review and beginning a review of foreign-language Epstein records that could fall under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Sullivan said a contempt finding would be premature at that point, but made clear that it remained on the table if the government continued to fall short. He also gave Blanche until September 21 to seek clarification if he believed any part of the renewed order was unclear.The warning came after months of litigation over whether DOJ had fully complied with Sullivan’s earlier injunction requiring additional review and production of Epstein-related records. The department had argued that some redactions were necessary to protect victims, that handwritten FBI notes were substantially similar to reports already released and that reviewing foreign-language material was too burdensome. Sullivan rejected those explanations as insufficient, saying similarity to already released records did not automatically justify withholding responsive material and ordering DOJ to start reviewing the foreign-language files. He also refused to pause the case while Blanche appealed the June injunction, and separately ordered DOJ to answer Phang’s lawsuit by September 24, produce a certified administrative-record list by October 1 and provide the record by October 15.to contact me:[email protected]:Judge Warns Todd Blanche He Could Face Civil Contempt Over Epstein Files | Law CommentaryBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Florida Woman Pleads Guilty to Defrauding Jeffrey Epstein Victims Fund (9/18/26) 18.09.2026 10min

  A Florida woman, Jennifer Percival, pleaded guilty in federal court in New York to falsifying records in order to obtain money from a compensation fund for Jeffrey Epstein victims. Percival had applied to Epstein’s estate-funded victims program in late 2020 and was found ineligible for compensation. Years later, when she applied to a separate $290 million JPMorgan Chase settlement fund for Epstein survivors, prosecutors said she altered her original rejection letter to make it appear that the Epstein estate program had approved her claim and paid her $500,000. Based on those false representations, the JPMorgan fund paid her $750,000 in 2024. Percival later admitted that she fabricated the documentation because obtaining the money gave her a “sense of validation.The fraud deepened after the FBI began investigating. When agents confronted Percival in late 2025 with the genuine rejection letter, she falsely claimed she had successfully appealed the decision and then provided her lawyer with fabricated emails that were submitted to federal prosecutors in an effort to secure a deferred-prosecution agreement. Percival eventually admitted wrongdoing and arrived at her plea hearing with a check covering the $776,031 she owed in restitution. Prosecutors have not said whether she was actually one of Epstein’s victims, only that the records she used to obtain the settlement money were fraudulent. Under the plea agreement, federal sentencing guidelines called for roughly three to four years in prison, although the judge was not bound by that range.to contact me:[email protected]:Florida woman pleads guilty to defrauding fund for Jeffrey Epstein victims - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Epstein Survivors Praise House Panel After Leon Black Contempt Vote (9/18/26) 18.09.2026 13min

  More than a dozen Jeffrey Epstein survivors praised the House Oversight Committee after it voted 41-0 to recommend holding Leon Black in contempt of Congress for refusing to fully comply with subpoenas seeking his testimony and nondisclosure agreements. The survivors said the unanimous committee vote sent a clear message that wealth and influence should not place anyone beyond congressional scrutiny, and they urged lawmakers to keep following the Epstein evidence wherever it leads. The contempt recommendation marked a major escalation in the committee’s fight with Black, who had previously appeared for a voluntary transcribed interview but refused to answer questions about NDAs, later skipped a scheduled September 3 deposition and did not produce all of the agreements demanded by the committee. Black has denied wrongdoing and denied knowing about Epstein’s criminal conduct, while his attorneys have argued that the subpoenas are unlawful, overbroad and intrusive.The survivors’ statement also came as Oversight Chairman James Comer introduced the Survivor’s Voice Protection Act, legislation designed to prevent NDAs from silencing survivors of sexual abuse and to require certain trusted adults to report suspected grooming of minors. Comer said the bill grew directly out of the committee’s Epstein investigation and what lawmakers had learned about powerful men using confidentiality agreements to suppress allegations. The committee said it had already conducted 19 depositions and transcribed interviews, released about 65,000 pages of documents and obtained Epstein-related bank records. The broader message from survivors was that the Black contempt fight should not be treated as an isolated dispute, but as part of a larger effort to force transparency from people who moved within Epstein’s network and to break through legal agreements that may have kept relevant information hidden.to contact me:[email protected]:Epstein survivors praise House panel over Leon Black contempt vote | Jeffrey Epstein | The GuardianBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell And Her Backyard Brawl With Prosecutors (9/17/26) 18.09.2026 1h 6min

  Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team attacked the prosecution from nearly every available angle before and during her federal trial, trying to keep evidence out, restrict what witnesses could say, challenge expert testimony, undermine the accusers’ memories and credibility, and narrow the government’s theory of the case. Her attorneys argued that she was being used as a substitute for Jeffrey Epstein because he was dead, sought to exclude or limit testimony about grooming and trauma, challenged decades-old recollections with memory experts, fought over prior-act evidence and hearsay, and repeatedly argued that ordinary social behavior was being retrospectively transformed into proof of criminal intent. They also pressed procedural and legal arguments aimed at dismissing or weakening charges, including disputes over the statute of limitations, Epstein’s 2007 non-prosecution agreement and the scope of the alleged conspiracy. During trial, the defense cross-examined the accusers aggressively, highlighted inconsistencies between earlier and later accounts, questioned financial motives and argued that prosecutors had assembled a case around memories that had changed over time.None of those strategies ultimately overcame the evidence the jury heard. Prosecutors presented multiple women who described similar patterns of recruitment, grooming and sexual abuse, along with testimony from household employees, pilots and other witnesses who placed Maxwell squarely inside Epstein’s world and corroborated important parts of the survivors’ accounts. Documentary evidence, travel records, photographs and Maxwell’s longstanding proximity to Epstein reinforced the government’s contention that she was not simply an uninvolved girlfriend or social companion. After scrutinizing the testimony for days and repeatedly requesting transcripts during deliberations, the jury convicted Maxwell on five of the six counts submitted to it. The result showed that while her attorneys mounted an expansive and aggressive defense, the jurors ultimately credited enough of the government’s evidence to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Maxwell had helped Epstein recruit and groom underage girls for sexual abuse.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

  Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein's Estate Claims It Has A Cash Flow Problem (9/17/26) 18.09.2026 1h 3min

  Jeffrey Epstein’s estate claimed in 2020 and 2021 that it was facing a serious liquidity problem despite controlling an estate originally valued at more than half a billion dollars. Co-executors Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn said much of Epstein’s wealth was tied up in real estate, investments and other assets that could not quickly be converted into cash, while liens imposed by the U.S. Virgin Islands restricted access to some of the money. The cash crunch became significant enough that the Epstein Victims’ Compensation Program temporarily suspended new compensation offers in February 2021 because the estate said it could not replenish the fund. That explanation immediately drew skepticism because the estate had previously represented that sufficient assets were available to compensate survivors, and critics questioned how an estate of that size could suddenly become unable to meet its obligations. The program eventually resumed and paid more than $121 million to 136 claimants, but the episode intensified demands for a clearer accounting of Epstein’s assets and how the estate was being managed.The estate and its executors have also been accused of blurring the evidentiary lines because Indyke and Kahn were not neutral outsiders brought in after Epstein’s death; they had spent years working inside his financial and legal operation and later became the people controlling his records, companies and remaining fortune. The U.S. Virgin Islands alleged that Epstein operated through a deliberately opaque network of entities and noted that Indyke and Kahn had served as officers of companies connected to that system before becoming co-executors. Survivors have likewise argued that the same men who possessed extensive knowledge of Epstein’s finances and business structure were placed in the position of deciding what records existed, how assets were characterized and what information was produced in litigation. Neither man has been criminally charged, and both have denied knowing about Epstein’s sexual abuse, but the arrangement has fueled persistent criticism that the line between custodian of the evidence and participant in Epstein’s financial machinery was never particularly clean. That concern has only grown as litigation and congressional investigations have sought documents capable of showing how money, companies, payments and relationships moved through Epstein’s network.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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

  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 16min

  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 9min

  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.

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

  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 13min

  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 11min

  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 11min

  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 42min

  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 49min

  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 1h

  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.
