New Mexico Investigators Still Waiting for Epstein Records (7/14/26)

The Epstein Records and Ehud Barak’s Inner Circle (7/14/26)

Newly released Justice Department records reportedly show that former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak maintained a close, years-long relationship with Jeffrey Epstein well after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. Emails, visitor records and financial documents trace their association from roughly 2013 through 2019, including repeated stays by Barak and his wife at Epstein’s Manhattan residence, which staff allegedly referred to as “Ehud’s apartment.” The records also describe shared investments in the Israeli emergency-technology company Carbyne, funding from Epstein for Barak’s political nonprofit and private conversations in which Barak discussed Israeli politics and criticized Benjamin Netanyahu. The documents further indicate that Epstein acted as a political and financial connector for Barak, arranging introductions, following consultancy deals involving prominent international figures and assisting people within Barak’s inner circle. Israeli security personnel were reportedly placed inside Epstein’s residence to protect Barak during his visits, underscoring how closely his official status became intertwined with Epstein’s private world. Barak has said he never witnessed or participated in misconduct, has not been accused of sexual wrongdoing and acknowledges that his judgment in continuing the relationship deserves scrutiny. The disclosures nonetheless deepen questions about why Barak remained so closely connected to Epstein for years after his criminal conviction and what additional information may remain hidden in still-redacted federal records. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Ehud Barak and the Epstein Files: What the Documents Reveal [https://easternherald.com/2026/07/13/ehud-barak-epstein-files-israel-prime-minister-connections-2026/]

New Mexico Investigators Still Waiting for Epstein Records (7/14/26)

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez is accusing the U.S. Department of Justice of obstructing his office’s renewed criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch by withholding unredacted federal records. Torrez said more than 130 days had passed since New Mexico first requested the material, despite six separate attempts to obtain assistance from federal officials. His office reopened the investigation in February 2026 after newly released records indicated that multiple survivors had allegedly been taken to the ranch and sexually abused there. Torrez argues that the unredacted files could identify survivors, witnesses, suspected co-conspirators and other people necessary for investigators to determine what happened at the property and whether prosecutable crimes remain. The dispute is especially significant because New Mexico previously suspended its investigation in 2019 after federal prosecutors asked the state to stand down while they pursued their case against Epstein. Epstein died in federal custody before that prosecution could be completed, leaving the alleged crimes at Zorro Ranch without a full accounting. Torrez warned that the continued delay is damaging the investigation as witnesses become harder to locate and evidence deteriorates or becomes more difficult to authenticate. The Justice Department disputes that it has stonewalled New Mexico and says it responded to the state’s requests and is prepared to assist, but Torrez has threatened to treat the request as formally denied at the end of July and potentially seek the records through a state court subpoena. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Trump Administration Accused by New Mexico of Blocking Crucial Jeffrey Epstein Ranch Files | IBTimes UK [https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/new-mexico-ag-accuses-usdoj-delaying-justice-epstein-victims-1808229]

Kathryn Ruemmler Set to Testify About Her Epstein Ties (7/14/26)

Kathryn Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs’ former chief legal officer and current senior counsel, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers investigate her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and the federal government’s handling of his crimes. Ruemmler stepped down from Goldman’s top legal position at the end of June after newly released Justice Department records revealed that her contacts with Epstein were more extensive than previously known. Those records reportedly show numerous communications between the two from 2014 through 2019, years after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, as well as gifts Ruemmler accepted from him and advice she provided about responding to media questions concerning his criminal history The records also indicate that Epstein called Ruemmler’s cellphone on July 6, 2019, the day of his federal arrest on sex-trafficking charges. Ruemmler’s spokesperson has maintained that she did nothing improper, knew nothing about any ongoing criminal conduct and took no action after the brief call. Members of Congress are expected to question her about what she knew, whom Epstein discussed with her and how he maintained his influence among powerful institutions. Lawmakers have also criticized Goldman Sachs for retaining Ruemmler in an advisory role, arguing that the decision raises serious questions about the bank’s due diligence and its judgment concerning her ties to Epstein. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Congress to grill Goldman Sachs executive over newly revealed Epstein ties | The Independent [https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/kathryn-ruemmler-jeffrey-epstein-congress-goldman-sachs-b3013782.html]

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch Had It's Share Of High Profile Guests (7/13/26)

Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Zorro Ranch in New Mexico reportedly welcomed an extraordinary collection of powerful and famous visitors, including former governor Bill Richardson, Prince Andrew, and people connected to the Clinton family. Richardson was reported to have visited the ranch multiple times, while former employees and other accounts placed Prince Andrew at the property during his years-long friendship with Epstein. Bill Clinton’s association with Epstein is extensively documented through meetings and travel, although the public record regarding visits by Bill and Hillary Clinton specifically to Zorro Ranch is less conclusive than the evidence connecting Richardson and Andrew to the property. Those reported visits are significant because Zorro Ranch has also been identified in survivor testimony and court records as one of the locations where Epstein’s abuse and trafficking operation allegedly occurred. No one should be accused of criminal conduct simply because they visited the ranch, and the people named have denied wrongdoing where allegations were made. Still, the steady movement of politicians, royalty, wealthy businessmen and celebrities through such a remote property raises serious questions about what Epstein’s guests saw, what they were told and how he managed to operate in plain sight while surrounded by some of the most influential people in the world. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein's Crimes And The Gigantic Shrug Down In Florida (7/13/26)

Epstein-related justice in Florida was shrugged away through a combination of prosecutorial weakness, institutional deference and an extraordinary willingness to treat serious allegations as an inconvenience rather than a public emergency. Palm Beach police developed evidence involving numerous underage girls, yet the case was steadily narrowed, softened and redirected until Epstein received a plea deal that bore little resemblance to the scale of the conduct under investigation. Federal prosecutors then negotiated a secret non-prosecution agreement that protected Epstein and granted immunity to potential co-conspirators, while the victims were kept in the dark. Instead of pursuing the full network, examining the people who enabled him or testing the evidence before a jury, authorities accepted a resolution that allowed a wealthy and well-connected defendant to avoid the consequences an ordinary person would likely have faced. The indifference continued after Epstein began serving his sentence, when he received unusually generous work-release privileges and was permitted to leave jail for hours at a time under conditions that made a mockery of incarceration. Warning signs were minimized, oversight was weak and the victims were left to watch as the system appeared more concerned with accommodating Epstein than delivering justice. Florida had multiple opportunities to expose the operation, hold enablers accountable and demonstrate that wealth could not purchase a separate standard of justice, but those opportunities were repeatedly abandoned. What should have become a sweeping investigation into abuse, trafficking and institutional complicity was reduced to a managed scandal, leaving survivors with the unmistakable message that their suffering could be negotiated away. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
