Nick Cohen: “Not one of the powerful American men who flattered Jeffrey Epstein has been punished by the U.S. authorities – which, considering that Donald Trump was prominent among them, is no great surprise.”

“But tonight, the Epstein scandal has humiliated Prince Andrew and forced the British monarchy to face up to the charges against him.”

“Under pressure from public opinion and I suspect the government, King Charles has just stripped him of all his royal titles. He is no longer ‘Prince Andrew’ but merely Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. In the unlikely event of bumping into him you can now call him ‘Mr Windsor.'”

“Weeks after Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 awaiting prosecution on sex-trafficking charges, JPMorgan Chase filed a report alerting the U.S. government to tens of millions of dollars of potentially suspicious transactions involving him and prominent Wall Street and business figures,” the New York Times reports.

“The so-called suspicious activity report that JPMorgan filed identified transactions with Leon Black, the co-founder of private equity firm Apollo Global Management; Glenn Dubin, a well-known hedge fund manager; the lawyer Alan Dershowitz; and trusts controlled by Leslie Wexner, the retail tycoon.”

“The ghost writer who helped Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accuser, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, pen her posthumous memoir claimed she knows everyone named in the so-called Epstein files,” the New York Post reports.

Said Amy Wallace: “I know all the names.”

She added: “It exists in the FBI files. It exists in the Epstein files, as we now call them… There are four different document dumps, and there are many, many names in those… They have the names — and they’ve had them for more than a decade.”

“Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel — the Miami U.S. Attorney’s office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epstein’s sweetheart deal in 2007,” the Miami Herald reports.

“A tranche of over 8,500 pages of records from Epstein’s estate — released by the House Oversight Committee Friday — show that Epstein’s calendars and emails reflect that Menchel, who left the DOJ in 2007, had multiple meetings or dinners with Epstein in 2011, 2013 and 2017. Lawmakers also referred to a photograph of Menchel on a ski trip with Epstein sometime in the 2000s, but didn’t produce the photo.”

“Jeffrey Epstein never got kicked out of Wall Street’s VIP club,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Epstein’s banking and investment activities in the years before his 2019 death were more widespread than previously known, including accounts at several banks as well as large transactions with well-known hedge funds, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal and people familiar with the matter.”

“Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released partial records from a third batch of documents they received from the Jeffrey Epstein estate earlier this week that includes notes that contain the names of current and former Trump allies Elon Musk and Steve Bannon, as well as Peter Thiel and Prince Andrew,” NOTUS reports.

“FBI Director Kash Patel testified Tuesday that President Trump’s former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, who served under his first administration, committed the ‘original sin’ in the Jeffrey Epstein case,” Mediaite reports.

“As U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida in 2008, Acosta oversaw a secret non-prosecution deal with Epstein that allowed the financier to plead guilty to state charges involving a single underage victim, shielding him from federal prosecution.”

“Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has turned over additional documents to the House Oversight Committee, including a previously redacted name from the late sex offender’s now-notorious 50th birthday book,” NBC News reports.

“The name that was unredacted was not immediately publicly released.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who is running for U.S. Senate in the Republican primary, was “caught in shocking sex scandal as details of secret affair with married Christian influencer mom-of-seven are exposed,” the Daily Mail reports.

Bloomberg obtained more than 18,000 emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account which shed light on his yearslong partnership with socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

“The emails span a 20-year timeframe but the message traffic is most active between 2005 and 2008. The communications reveal that Maxwell and Epstein were closer, in many respects, than either publicly admitted. They exchanged at least 650 emails in all and about 203 messages during the first six months of 2008, undercutting Maxwell’s public assertions that her connection to Epstein had diminished by the time he went to jail in June 2008.”

Bloomberg has obtained more than 100 previously undisclosed emails between U.K. Ambassador Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein from 2005 through 2010 that reveal Mandelson’s steadfast support for Epstein after Epstein was charged with sex crimes.

Said Mandelson, in one email: “I think the world of you and I feel hopeless and furious about what has happened. I can still barely understand it. It just could not happen in Britain.”

Charlie Warzel: “This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.”
