Cynthia West Accuses Thomas Massie of Trying to Silence Her (5/13/26)

How Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Used Elite Financial Services to Move Women (5/13/26)

Newly released emails and financial records show that Jeffrey Epstein’s office relied heavily on the ultra-exclusive American Express Centurion “Black Card” program to quietly arrange travel for dozens of women, many of them from Eastern Europe, while maintaining extreme secrecy around the bookings. The records reveal that Epstein’s longtime assistant, Lesley Groff, repeatedly instructed American Express staff to keep flight information hidden, remove email addresses from confirmations, and ensure that travel details were tightly controlled. The documents also describe how fake or temporary itineraries were allegedly arranged for visa purposes, allowing women to secure travel documents using reservations that were later canceled. Internal communications show at least one Amex representative acknowledging that some of the requests were “against Amex policy,” while still offering ways to accommodate them. The records provide a rare inside look at how Epstein allegedly used elite financial services and concierge-style corporate relationships to facilitate the movement of women across borders for years after his 2008 Florida conviction. Emails describe flights being coordinated between cities such as Moscow, Minsk, Miami, Palm Beach, Paris, and New York, with Groff at times referring to groups simply as “the girls.” The documents also show how obsessed Epstein’s office was with secrecy, with repeated panic over flight confirmations accidentally being sent to the wrong people. The reporting further highlights how Epstein remained an enormously valuable client for American Express despite being a convicted sex offender, generating massive spending volumes and holding multiple Centurion cards tied to associates and entities connected to his operation. Critics quoted in the coverage argued that the travel patterns, fake itineraries, and visa-related booking requests should have raised obvious red flags about possible trafficking activity long before Epstein’s 2019 arrest. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Jeffrey Epstein America Express: How he moved women around the world with his credit card [https://www.watoday.com.au/world/north-america/epstein-s-black-amex-how-he-secretly-moved-women-around-with-invite-only-credit-cards-20260512-p5zvv6.html]

Cynthia West Accuses Thomas Massie of Trying to Silence Her (5/13/26)

Cynthia West is a former girlfriend of Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie who has recently gone public with allegations that Massie attempted to quietly pay her $5,000 to drop a complaint she filed against Representative Victoria Spartz. According to the allegations, West became frustrated with what she viewed as hypocrisy from Massie, especially as he publicly positioned himself as a champion of transparency surrounding the Epstein files while allegedly trying to silence her behind the scenes. West claims the relationship with Massie began after he contacted her on social media following the death of his wife in 2024, and she says the alleged hush-money offer came after she informed him she intended to pursue complaints against Spartz. Massie declined to directly address the accusations and instead pointed critics toward attacks on West’s credibility connected to prior divorce proceedings. The accusations are surfacing at an especially volatile moment for Massie, who has become one of the highest-profile Republican voices demanding the release of the Epstein files and accusing the Department of Justice of withholding information tied to the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Massie has been locked in an increasingly bitter political war with Donald Trump and pro-Israel political groups ahead of a massively expensive Republican primary fight in Kentucky. West said she ultimately decided to speak publicly because she believed Massie’s rhetoric about accountability did not match his private conduct. The controversy has now added another layer of chaos to an already brutal campaign cycle in which Massie has been targeted politically over both his Epstein-related activism and his frequent public breaks with Trump and Republican leadership. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Who is Cynthia West?

Jeffrey Epstein’s House Arrest Abuse Claims Strike at the Heart of the NPA (5/13/26)

At a House Oversight Committee field hearing in Palm Beach, a survivor identified only as Roza gave emotional testimony describing how Jeffrey Epstein allegedly raped and abused her while he was already under house arrest in Florida following his 2008 plea deal. Roza said she was brought to the United States from Uzbekistan at age 18 by Jean-Luc Brunel, the longtime modeling scout closely tied to Epstein, after being promised a glamorous modeling career. Instead, she testified that she was pulled into Epstein’s orbit and subjected to sexual abuse while federal authorities were supposedly monitoring him under one of the most controversial plea agreements in modern criminal justice history. Roza also told lawmakers she believes she never should have qualified for the visa she was granted, raising additional questions about how Epstein and his associates were allegedly able to move vulnerable young women across borders with so little scrutiny. During her testimony, Roza sharply criticized both the justice system and federal officials for what she described as repeated failures to protect victims and preserve their privacy. She condemned the government for exposing survivors’ identities through poorly redacted document releases connected to the Epstein files, saying the mistakes retraumatized women who had already spent years trying to rebuild their lives. The hearing itself became part of the broader congressional effort examining how Epstein continued operating his trafficking network despite prior convictions, extensive allegations, and years of warnings. Lawmakers used the testimony to highlight what they described as systemic institutional failures surrounding Epstein’s case, including the non-prosecution agreement that allowed him to avoid far more serious federal consequences while continuing to abuse girls and young women even during periods when he was supposedly under court supervision. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Epstein survivor says the billionaire raped her while he was under house arrest | The Independent [https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/crime/jeffrey-epstein-house-oversight-committee-roza-b2975589.html]

Fact, Fiction or Prison Mythology? The Tartaglione-Epstein Claims. (5/13/26)

Nicholas Tartaglione, Jeffrey Epstein’s former cellmate at MCC New York, is now claiming that Epstein returned to their shared cell in 2019 “visibly shaken” after allegedly being pressured by prosecutors to cooperate against Donald Trump in exchange for leniency. According to Tartaglione’s version of events, Epstein was taken from the cell early in the morning by guards, questioned for hours, and later returned anxious and withdrawn while describing an alleged offer involving reduced charges and a transfer out of MCC. Tartaglione claims Epstein believed prosecutors wanted damaging information tied to Trump and that the pressure campaign left him rattled. However, these allegations rely almost entirely on Tartaglione’s own recollection years after the fact, with no publicly produced documentation, recordings, or corroborating testimony confirming that such a deal or conversation ever occurred. That lack of evidence is especially important given Tartaglione’s own background and credibility issues. Tartaglione is serving multiple life sentences for the murders of four men and has spent years portraying himself as the victim of a corrupt prosecution while repeatedly inserting himself into the Epstein narrative. He has denied assaulting Epstein despite prior reports that Epstein expressed fear of him and accused him of attacking him during the first alleged suicide incident. The timing and framing of these new claims are also difficult to ignore, as Tartaglione continues trying to recast himself as a whistleblower rather than a convicted killer. While the allegations undeniably add another bizarre layer to the already chaotic story surrounding Epstein’s confinement at MCC, there is currently no independent evidence proving prosecutors attempted to pressure Epstein into manufacturing information about Trump or that the conversations occurred exactly as Tartaglione now describes them. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Epstein left ‘visibly shaken’ after undergoing ‘pressure’ campaign involving Trump: report - Raw Story [https://www.rawstory.com/jeffrey-epstein-2676881955/]

The Investigation Into Jeffrey Epstein Expands In New Mexico And Colombia (5/13/26)

The investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s activities in both Colombia and New Mexico has expanded dramatically in recent months as newly released files and renewed public pressure have forced authorities to revisit areas that critics say were ignored or minimized for years. In Colombia, a court has now ordered immigration authorities to turn over travel and entry records connected to both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell after questions intensified surrounding their ties to former Colombian president Andrés Pastrana and other elite figures in the country. Newly released DOJ files reportedly contain references to meetings, flights, and visits involving Epstein’s network in Colombia, including claims that Maxwell traveled there multiple times and interacted with politically connected individuals. Colombian journalists and investigators have increasingly pushed for transparency, arguing that Epstein’s reach into Latin America may have been far deeper than previously acknowledged and that the public deserves access to the full scope of those connections. Meanwhile, in New Mexico, the long-neglected focus on Epstein’s Zorro Ranch has exploded into a full-scale state-level investigation involving law enforcement searches, a legislative “truth commission,” subpoena powers, cadaver dogs, drones, and renewed criminal inquiries. Authorities in New Mexico reopened investigations after millions of newly released Epstein files contained fresh allegations tied to the ranch, including accusations of trafficking, abuse, and claims that potential burial sites may exist on or near the property. Critics have pointed out that unlike Epstein’s Manhattan mansion or Little Saint James, Zorro Ranch was never properly searched during the height of the federal investigations, despite repeated allegations from survivors who said abuse occurred there. Now, state investigators, lawmakers, and outside legal teams are attempting to piece together decades of activity at the ranch, with officials openly acknowledging that the scope of what occurred in New Mexico may have been far larger than originally understood. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Epstein files: Colombia court orders full disclosure about visits by Epstein, Maxwell [https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/colombia-court-orders-full-disclosure-about-epstein-maxwell-visits/] New Mexico lawmakers want answers about what happened at Epstein's Zorro Ranch [https://www.koat.com/article/new-mexico-lawmakers-want-answers-about-what-happened-at-epsteins-zorro-ranch/71274874]
