Leon Black’s Testimony Fiasco and the Failures of Epstein Oversight (7/21/26)

Was Tyler Robinson at a Panguitch Steakhouse After Charlie Kirk’s Murder? (7/21/26)

Restaurant employees in Panguitch, Utah, reported that a quiet man who ate alone at a local steakhouse on the night Charlie Kirk was killed resembled Tyler Robinson. The customer reportedly ordered a medium-rare sirloin with vegetables and a baked potato, and employees later contacted the FBI after seeing photographs of Robinson. Federal agents reportedly interviewed the owner and two servers, but the restaurant did not have surveillance footage clearly identifying the customer or a complete name connected to the payment card. Because Panguitch is more than three hours from Utah Valley University, the possible sighting raised questions about Robinson’s movements and the prosecution’s timeline. The claim remains unresolved because neither the FBI nor prosecutors have publicly confirmed whether the customer was Robinson. The restaurant owner has also said he was never told whether investigators were able to verify the sighting through payment records or other evidence. While the available information makes it appear unlikely that the steakhouse customer has been conclusively identified as Robinson, the lack of an official answer means the possibility has not been definitively ruled out. For now, the Panguitch sighting remains an unconfirmed lead rather than either a proven alibi or a fully disproven claim. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Doug Band And His Epstein Related Congressional Transcript (Part 2) (7/21/26)

Doug Band told the House Oversight Committee that his personal contact with Jeffrey Epstein was limited, infrequent and largely incidental to his work as Bill Clinton’s longtime aide. He said he barely knew Epstein, did not recall receiving gifts from him and had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse or other criminal conduct while they were acquainted. Band nevertheless described Epstein and Clinton as appearing to be friends, pointing to the time they spent together, Epstein’s aircraft and his potential value as a supporter of Clinton’s post-presidential work. He acknowledged accompanying Clinton on trips aboard Epstein’s plane and visiting Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse, but said he did not remember witnessing private conversations between the two men or seeing anything improper. Band described a more substantial relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell, admitting that they developed a friendship through Clinton’s orbit while firmly denying that it was ever romantic or physical. He said he began hearing troubling reports about Maxwell around 2011 and responded by removing her from Clinton’s contact lists and attempting to cut her out of the former president’s world. Much of the questioning focused on emails suggesting social familiarity, dinners, travel arrangements, birthday plans and flirtatious language, but Band repeatedly said he could not remember the communications or the events being discussed. His testimony therefore presented Epstein as a peripheral acquaintance and Maxwell as a former friend, while leaving lawmakers with numerous instances in which documentary records appeared more detailed than Band’s recollection. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Band-Final-Transcript-7.16.26.pdf [https://oversight.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Band-Final-Transcript-7.16.26.pdf]

Roza Gilles and the Abuse That Continued During Epstein’s Sentence (Part 2) (7/21/26)

Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old aspiring model from Uzbekistan when she came to the United States in 2009 and became financially indebted to MC2 Model Management for her visa and housing. She was offered weekend administrative work at Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida Science Foundation office in West Palm Beach while Epstein was supposedly serving his jail sentence under an extraordinarily permissive work-release arrangement. Gilles said that during one of her first encounters with Epstein, he ordered her to undress, and when she froze, another woman removed her blouse and bra. She later realized that the device on Epstein’s ankle was a monitoring bracelet and that the man abusing her was technically still an inmate. Gilles’s account offers a disturbing illustration of how Epstein’s 2008 plea agreement and work-release privileges allowed him to continue operating in an environment filled with employees, vulnerable young women and even uniformed law-enforcement officers. She recalled seeing a sheriff at Epstein’s Palm Beach residence and concluding that Epstein was so protected that nothing she did could stop him. After eventually leaving his orbit, moving to New York and becoming financially independent, Gilles married, settled in the Midwest and became a fitness trainer. She is now speaking publicly in the hope that greater transparency will expose the people and institutions that enabled Epstein and finally deliver meaningful accountability for survivors. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Exclusive: Roza Gilles was an 18-year-old model when Jeffrey Epstein first abused her — while he was serving jail time | CNN Politics [https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/20/politics/roza-gilles-jeffrey-epstein-victim-abuse]
