“Long after Jeffrey Epstein was known as a convicted sex offender, he was also a top contributor to an elite cluster of groups founded by Harvard University students,” Bloomberg reports.

“For years, he was able to fill a table with ‘girls’ at an annual gala that featured celebrities, billionaires and cultural luminaries.”

“Annual donations of at least $50,000 to the Hasty Pudding Institute of 1770 — a nonprofit umbrella for a social club, theater troupe and a cappella singers — qualified him as a ‘Guardian of the Sphinx’ at Order of the Golden Sphinx galas in New York from at least 2013 to 2019. His final invitation came just months before he was charged with federal sex-trafficking crimes and then hanged himself in a Manhattan jail.”

CNBC: “The recent release by the Department of Justice of millions of pages of documents related to the notorious sex predator Jeffrey Epstein has led to a wave of resignations and other uncomfortable fallout for high-profile people around the world.”

“Those affected include the top lawyer at the major investment bank Goldman Sachs, the CEO of Dubai’s largest port, a former president of Harvard University, a former U.S. president and ex-secretary of State, and the chairman of a leading American corporate law firm.”

“All of you MAGA influencers and the rest mocking the seriousness of women who were trafficked and raped as teenagers and young women look like cult fools. Good luck trying to get women to vote for Republicans in the midterms you insensitive clowns.”

CBS News: “The correspondence places Barrack, a globe-trotting billionaire, among a circle of wealthy and influential figures who maintained social contact with Epstein even as his criminal history became widely known.”

“Their relationship continued even after Barrack became a prolific fundraiser for Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign, and later, led his inaugural committee and became a frequent presence in the White House.

“At times, Epstein appeared to regard Barrack as a potential conduit for passing information to Mr. Trump, though available records show the communication going only in one direction.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a letter on Saturday night that “all” Epstein files have been released, Fox News reports.

“A chorus of top MAGA voices are calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s removal over her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and her combative congressional testimony on Wednesday,” Axios reports.

Joe Rogan went after President Trump for his administration’s mishandling of the Epstein files and its failure to protect the victims of the pedophile sex trafficker, the Daily Beast reports.

Said Rogan: “It’s crazy. The whole thing is crazy because like… why have you protected people?”

He added: “It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying that none of this was real. This is all a hoax. This is not a hoax. Like, did you not know? Maybe he didn’t know, if you want to be charitable, but this is definitely not a hoax. And if you’ve got redacted people’s names and these people aren’t victims, you’re not protecting the victim. So, what are you doing? And how come all this shit is not released?”

“Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned on Thursday night in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of emails and other material that revealed her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier,” the New York Times reports.

“Ms. Ruemmler and representatives for Goldman said for years that she had a strictly professional relationship with Mr. Epstein, a convicted sex offender.”

“But emails, text messages and photographs released late last month showed Ms. Ruemmler requesting and accepting gifts from Mr. Epstein, advising him on how to avoid unflattering media scrutiny and discussing her dating life.”

Speaker Mike Johnson said “the Justice Department’s tracking of lawmakers’ search history for the Epstein files was inappropriate, a rare rebuke from the Republican who is usually in lockstep with the administration,” CNN reports.

Said Johnson: “I think members should obviously have the right to peruse those at their own speed and with their own discretion and I don’t think it’s appropriate for anybody to be tracking that.”

“Johnson’s comments come after photographs of Pam Bondi’s notes during a Wednesday congressional hearing revealed the Justice Department is tracking which documents lawmakers are reviewing in the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files, prompting some on Capitol Hill to sound the alarm.”

NOTUS: “Some Democrats are now attempting to link the rolling Epstein scandal with the kitchen-table issues voters have traditionally prioritized. This wing of the party is pushing to establish the Epstein saga as emblematic of the Trump administration’s failure to address other issues the country faces.”

“What does ‘ties’ mean? Can you define that? Can you define ‘ties’?”

— Attorney General Pam Bondi, quoted by Politico, when asked whether prosecutors have talked with Trump administration officials who had “ties” with Jeffrey Epstein.

“That’s the gaslightiest gaslighting shit I’ve ever heard in my life.”
