Kuvaus

Nineteen Jeffrey Epstein survivors publicly opposed Todd Blanche’s nomination to become permanent attorney general, arguing that his role in the administration’s handling of the Epstein files showed a failure of transparency and accountability. Their statement came after reporting that Blanche and other senior officials participated in Situation Room meetings focused on managing the political fallout from the Epstein records controversy. The survivors said they were alarmed that top officials appeared to treat the matter as a reputational problem instead of an opportunity to investigate what happened, protect survivors, and give the public a full accounting. The group specifically criticized Blanche for overseeing the release of Epstein-related files while serious questions remained about redactions, withheld documents, and the exposure of survivors’ personal information. Former Attorney General Pam Bondi has also tried to distance herself from the controversy, telling lawmakers that Blanche was responsible for the process. Blanche’s nomination now faces added pressure as House Oversight Chair James Comer has said he plans to subpoena him for testimony in July, while survivors continue pushing Congress to put witnesses under oath and force a clearer record of how the DOJ handled the Epstein and Maxwell files. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Group of Epstein survivors announce opposition to Todd Blanche’s attorney general nomination | CNN Politics [https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/11/politics/epstein-survivors-blanche-nomination]

What Did Jeffrey Epstein's Calendar Reveal? (Part 1) (6/12/26)

Jeffrey Epstein’s calendar revealed that, years after his 2008 conviction, he was still moving through circles of enormous power and influence. The entries showed scheduled meetings, calls, dinners, and visits involving figures from finance, academia, politics, law, philanthropy, and intelligence-adjacent circles, including names such as Bill Burns, Noam Chomsky, Leon Botstein, Kathryn Ruemmler, Bill Gates, Leon Black, Thomas Pritzker, and Mort Zuckerman. The key takeaway was not that every person listed committed wrongdoing, but that Epstein remained useful, connected, and socially viable long after the public record showed he was a convicted sex offender. His calendar exposed how little his conviction actually isolated him from elite networks. What the calendar really revealed was Epstein’s operating model: access as currency. He used his homes, his money, his introductions, and his aura of connection to keep powerful people close, while those powerful people often later described the contact as limited, professional, philanthropic, academic, or transactional. The calendar undercut the idea that Epstein was simply a disgraced financier living in exile after 2008; instead, it showed a man still arranging meetings with decision-makers, billionaires, university leaders, lawyers, and public figures. It did not function as a criminal charging document, but it did provide a map of the ecosystem that allowed Epstein to remain relevant, protected, and plugged into power despite everything that was already known about him. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Sarah Kellen Congressional Transcript (Part 1) (6/12/26)

Sarah Kellen told Congress that she was not a willing architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s operation but one of his victims, claiming Epstein groomed, abused, isolated, and controlled her for years. She described herself as trapped inside his world through sexual, psychological, and emotional coercion, and said Epstein continued to exert power over her even while he was incarcerated. That testimony matters because Kellen has long been one of the most controversial names in the Epstein case: she was not some distant acquaintance or occasional employee, but a close assistant whose name appeared in the non-prosecution agreement and whose alleged role has been described by survivors as central to the scheduling, travel, and logistics that made Epstein’s abuse machine function. The skeptical read is that Kellen’s testimony may explain parts of her relationship with Epstein, but it does not automatically erase the serious questions about what she did, what she knew, and how long she remained embedded in his operation. Being abused by Epstein and enabling Epstein’s access to other victims are not mutually exclusive possibilities, and that is the uncomfortable center of the issue. Her testimony shifts the frame from co-conspirator to coerced participant, but Congress and the public still have to weigh that against the survivor accounts, the documented logistics, the years of proximity, and the fact that Epstein’s criminal enterprise required trusted people to keep the appointments, movements, and access points running. In plain terms, Kellen may have been victimized by Epstein, but that does not settle the question of whether she also helped him victimize others. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: 2026-05-21 Sarah Kellen - Transcript.pdf - Google Drive [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nPDWYcqxugpod1-b98xuayS-RkUtrcyS/view?pli=1]

House Epstein Probe Moves Toward Alan Dershowitz (6/12/26)

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said the panel will seek testimony from Alan Dershowitz as part of its investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, a move Comer tied directly to Lesley Groff’s closed-door testimony and a subsequent meeting with Epstein survivors. Groff, Epstein’s longtime assistant, reportedly named Dershowitz when asked who else the committee should interview, while survivors also urged lawmakers to bring him in. Her full transcript has not yet been released, but in her opening statement she denied knowledge of Epstein’s crimes and described him as a manipulative deceiver. Dershowitz, who was part of Epstein’s legal team during the negotiations that produced the controversial 2008 plea deal, said he had already volunteered to testify and welcomed the chance to speak to the committee. He again denied wrongdoing connected to Epstein, including Virginia Giuffre’s past allegations against him, which he has long rejected and for which he was never criminally charged. Dershowitz said he wanted “the truth to come out,” defended his work in the Epstein matter, and downplayed any relationship with Groff, saying he barely knew her beyond seeing her at Epstein’s office and possibly having travel arranged through her. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: House panel to seek testimony from Alan Dershowitz about Jeffrey Epstein | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/10/alan-dershowitz-epstein-house-panel]

Wall Street Journal Moves to Dismiss Trump’s Epstein Letter Lawsuit (6/12/26)

The Wall Street Journal asked a federal judge to dismiss Donald Trump’s revised defamation lawsuit over its reporting on a sexually suggestive birthday letter allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump sued Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch, and others after the Journal reported that a 2003 birthday album compiled for Epstein included a letter bearing Trump’s name. Trump denies writing it and claims the story was false and defamatory, but a federal judge already dismissed the earlier version of the lawsuit because Trump failed to plausibly show actual malice, the demanding legal standard public figures must meet in defamation cases. Trump then filed an amended complaint, arguing in part that Murdoch had told him he would “handle” the matter before publication, but the Journal says the revised lawsuit still does not fix the legal defects. The Journal’s dismissal motion argues that Trump’s new complaint mostly repackages claims the court already rejected and still fails to show that the outlet knowingly published false information or acted with reckless disregard for the truth. The Journal says it accurately reported the existence of the letter, included Trump’s denial, and conducted reporting steps before publication, including seeking comment. It also asks the court to dismiss the case with prejudice and seeks legal fees under Florida’s anti-SLAPP law, casting the lawsuit as an attempt to punish or intimidate protected journalism. In plain terms, Trump is trying to keep the Epstein-letter defamation case alive after an earlier defeat, while the Journal is telling the court that the amended lawsuit is still legally empty and should now be thrown out for good. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Wall Street Journal Asks Judge To Toss Trump's Revised Lawsuit [https://deadline.com/2026/06/trump-wall-street-journal-lawsuit-dismiss-motion-1236953153/]
