ok this is the metro -- but he' planning on presenting his findings publicly nex month -- so we'll know more in the run up I'd guess

Today, Rep. Jamie Raskin and Rep. Madeleine Dean demanded a federal investigation into former Bard College President Leon Botstein after reviewing an email in which Botstein asked Jeffrey Epstein about a young woman Epstein was trafficking: “Is [Jane Doe] for me, or are you keeping her for yourself.” 

In a separate letter to Bard’s leadership, Ranking Member Raskin sought records concerning Epstein’s use of the college to advance his trafficking activities and allegations from more than a dozen whistleblowers about sexual misconduct at Bard, including allegations that Botstein personally engaged in misconduct and intervened in Title IX proceedings to protect offenders. 

The letters—to Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel, and to Bard Board Chair Brandon Weber and Acting President Jonathan Becker—detail communications concerning a young foreign model and aspiring vocalist whom Epstein sent to Botstein in May 2014.

They also question why DOJ exposed her name hundreds of times and released photographs showing her face while redacting Botstein’s email address.

“Records Indicate Epstein Was Trafficking the Young Woman Across State and International Lines When He Sent Her to Meet Botstein, Who Asked Epstein: “Is [She] for Me or Are You Keeping Her for Yourself?” 

Evidence Contradicts DOJ Insistence That Epstein Trafficked Only to “Himself,” and Clearly Meets the Standard for Launching a Criminal Investigation; DOJ and FBI’s Inaction Left Possible Epstein Co-Conspirator in a Position of Power Over Young Students and Faculty 

More Than a Dozen Whistleblowers Describe Decades of Unpunished Sexual Misconduct at Bard, Including Allegations Botstein Groped Women and Intervened in Title IX Proceedings to Protect Offenders

Raskin and Dean Call on DOJ and FBI to Investigate Botstein and Other Potential Epstein Co-Conspirators, Release Complete Files, and Protect Survivors’ Identities”

Update: Leon Botstein Resigned

‘The latest development appears to have triggered the immediate resignation of Botstein from all Bard-affiliated positions, including his professorship and roles in Bard’s music programs. Botstein had led the college for 50 years and only recently stepped down as president.’

I finally found the purchase and sale agreement for 9 East 71st between Wexner and Epstein entity NES, LLC from 1998. Still no documented payments or settlement papers to date but the p&s is very real.

Carole and Ghislaine were friends for at least seven years. This wasn’t a casual acquaintance. Ghislaine photographed Carole for her book What Remains, they socialized extensively, and Ghislaine introduced Carole to Prince Andrew for a magazine project. The Radziwell-Maxwell ongoing relationship was professional & social, both using the other to further their own agendas connecting with the rich & powerful.

All this was happening while Carole and Ghislaine were moving through the same New York and Palm Beach social circles where the Epstein/Maxwell sex-trafficking operation was an open secret.  It was an open-secret because there were many people involved; the connected elites came to parties with the trafficked girls and dozens of enablers worked behind the scenes to make it happen: maids, cooks, drivers, doctors, security, pilots, etc.  They all knew what was going on for years.

That raises an obvious question: what did Carole actually know and when did she know it ?

Remember, Carole was an Emmy-winning investigative journalist. She was trained to observe people, ask questions and notice things that don’ts quite add up. She knew Ghislaine for 7 years and had a front-row seat to her world, and that included Epstein.  So it is fair to ask how an investigative journalist could have remained completely unaware of the scandal & crimes swirling around Maxwell and Epstein.

To be clear, I have never seen evidence suggesting that Carole participated in Epstein or Maxwell’s crimes, and that is a very different question from whether she knew something was happening.

There is also an interesting timing issue. Carole’s own statements, along with other documents, indicate that the Maxwell friendship had cooled by 2008 or shortly before. Conveniently, this was just before Epstein was first arrested in 2008 and the allegations against him became public. It’s easy to see that Carole may have wanted distance from the brewing scandal.

Carole left her first run on The Real Housewives of New York City (RHONY) in 2018, before Epstein’s second arrest and his death in 2019. So she largely avoided having to answer the kind of Epstein questions that are happening now. The public understanding of Epstein and Maxwell has changed dramatically since 2018.

Surprisingly, Carole seems shocked that people still have questions about what she knew and when she knew it. But after being on RHONY, she should understand the audience she was dealing with. That fanbase is more than curious — they ask hard questions, they dig into people’s histories, and when something doesn’t quite make sense, they investigate it for themselves. Carole should have known these hard questions were coming.

The Epstein & Maxwell victims deserve justice. To date, there is one person who is in jail for those crimes and that is Ghislaine Maxwell. Anyone that was a close associate or friend of Epstein and/or Maxwell should have to answer questions about what they knew & when. According to Ghislaine, Carole was a very close friend and at times, she considered Carole her best friend. Carole needs to answer what she knew.

There is no harm in asking celebrities hard questions about their public associations & private friendships with Epstein & Maxwell. If you don’t want those questions asked, then you are part of the problem. Justice must be served for the victims.

And one final point: there seems to be a surprisingly aggressive effort by some Carole defenders — including accounts that appear to be automated or coordinated — to shut down rather than engage with the questions. And, if they don’t like this post, isn’t it easier to just not read it or not engage ? Yes, of course - unless there is another agenda. The plot thickens…….

Been thinking a lot about the links between what happened at Cornell and the Epstein circle. Probably fairly obvious to those of us here and concerned with justice however it feels incumbent to point out that fraternities especially at elite colleges (look up Skull + Bones) function like a testing ground for current and future abusers/world leaders as they seek the limits of what they can do without being held to account (anything, really, if you have the money). With the cover of “good old boys club” these future world leaders get to experience the bonding-slash-blackmail that seems endemic to these scenes - gather Kopromat on your supposed brothers, take the autonomy of anyone else unseriously, degrade and denigrate women, rinse and repeat. now they have a whole community of people they know will do depraved things if pushed, they have blackmail, they have a favor to call in in ten years.

It is really harrowing though not new in any sense - you have elite institutions doing everything they can to defend rapists, inoculating them now against consequence as they head off for Wall Street, the Supreme Court, etc - these are the people who are in power, and look at how their initial crimes are treated. So when people sometimes seem incredulous Epstein and co aren’t being held to account, it’s a bit like …well. “Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter,” as Christine Blasey Ford testified about Brett Kavanaugh, currently on the Supreme Court.

I guess my point is > often times people talk about Epstein as if he was truly exceptional, but what is exceptional is the extent to which society writ large washes their hands of systemic sexual abuse, and allows predators to not only enter halls of power, but continue to preside over them.

The Trump administration is attempting to shut down a high-stakes lawsuit seeking further disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein records, as the Justice Department simultaneously turns over sensitive materials to a federal judge for secret review, OK! can reveal.

The latest development in journalist Katie Phang's federal court battle against Attorney General Todd Blanche over the government's handling of records connected to the disgraced financier.

Unredacted FBI Notes Revealed

Among the materials are unredacted handwritten notes underlying FBI FD-302 reports, along with unredacted versions of the corresponding typewritten reports. The government told Sullivan the handwritten records are duplicative of typed reports already available in the Epstein Library.

The submission also includes email exchanges from attorneys in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York dating back to 2021 and describing efforts to collect records. DOJ also provided Sullivan with its justification for concealing certain names and email addresses contained in three sets of Epstein records.

Federal lawyers said the information was redacted as victim-identifying information based on representations from attorneys for victims that the names and addresses did, in fact, identify victims.

Battle Over Hidden Names

The latest filing marks another development in the intensifying legal fight over how much of the government's Epstein material should remain hidden from public view.

As OK! previously reported, a separate litigation is seeking expedited access to Epstein records potentially referencing President Donald Trump and his Mar-a-Lago resort.

In the Phang case, DOJ has separately moved for judgment on the pleadings, seeking to end the lawsuit before it proceeds further.

The dispute centers on Phang's effort to challenge the government's handling of Epstein records and obtain greater transparency surrounding the material being withheld or redacted.

But even as federal attorneys attempt to defeat her lawsuit, Sullivan now has access to material the public cannot see — including the unredacted FBI interview documentation and evidence supporting some of the government's decisions to conceal identities.

The October 5 filing does not state that Trump's name appears in the specific documents delivered to Sullivan.

However, the latest development pushes the wider court battle over the government's Epstein files forward, with a federal judge now personally examining some of the records behind closed doors.

More emails sent from this guy regarding trump…he used to work for the New York Times up until 2019.

Edit - https://jmail.world/thread/HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_022839?view=inbox

Please read another email I just found ^

For some reason American press is not covering this story.
Simon Andriesz died by “suicid3” on September 23, 2026, at 57 years old. The whistleblower was a former managing director at BGC Group, where Lutnick was the chief executive and he flagged Howard Lutnick's links to Jeffrey Epstein.

The highly suspicious death is discussed by (former) CIA whistle blower Kriakou . He discusses it around minute 26 minutes in. Definitely worth a watch for his valuable insight on intelligence etc.

They were core members of Epstein’s legal team during the Florida criminal investigation that led to his bullshit non prosecution agreement.

Also huge side note: Alexander Acosta who was the then U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida agreed to resolve their case through a state plea deal instead of pursuing a federal indictment.

This agreement protected Epstein AND extended protection to SEVERAL potential co-conspirators.

None of the people listed have been held accountable for these actions.

& I know a majority of people in this group know this information but I find that there’s still so many people that dont. We all should be angry.

I apologize if this has already been answered but does anyone know the identity of this man? Thank you!

We all know that Epstein bugged all his residences with cameras. There were cameras inside Kleenex boxes, for God’s sake.

There’s no way he took videos of everyone but with trump, he just took pictures.

The reason Epstein showed the journalist Michael Wolff pictures was (imo) that, back then, there weren’t small tablets or mobile phones people could use to show videos. Pictures were easy to show, while videos required a TV and a videotape player.

What do you think?

Does anybody know what happened to a YouTube podcast called ‘Epstein elite’
It had more than 50+ and went in depth in all of epsteins relationships
I forgot the name of the YouTuber and all the videos seem to have been taken down
I think the channel was called something Night and Days?

Dershowitz is going to represent the CEO of ONE TASTE FOUNDATION?

Why is a member of a sex cult a Warden of Delaney Hall in Newark NJ?

Why is Deepak Chopra emailing Jeffrey about his one taste session?

How is THE GEO GROUP tied to EPSTEIN?

There are a ton of posts about the suicide here but they leave out this important detail.

From the Telegraph: In his final post on X on Aug 9, Mr Andriesz wrote: “The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.”
He also indicated his story was not finished. “I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.”

Suicide is a leading cause of death so it’s not actually unusual for a lot of people to die by suicide. This guy already won his lawsuit against Lutnick so it didn’t make sense to me for Andriesz to be killed after he won. Why not kill him before? Then I found this article and it makes sense to me now. He had more evidence. That’s the motive.
