Congress Presses Jes Staley on Epstein, Cash and “Snow White” (7/24/26)

Alan Dershowitz Lawyers Allegedly Advised Him Against Appearing In Front Of Congress (7/24/26)

Alan Dershowitz had publicly declared that he was eager to appear before the House Oversight Committee, claiming he had “nothing to hide” and was prepared to answer questions under oath about Jeffrey Epstein. The committee sought his testimony because Dershowitz was a member of Epstein’s legal team, helped negotiate the extraordinarily lenient resolution of the Florida investigation and has repeatedly claimed to possess substantial information about Epstein and his associates. Dershowitz initially agreed to a videotaped, transcribed interview scheduled for July 20, 2026, but abruptly withdrew after his attorneys instructed him that he was not permitted to testify about the matters under investigation. Neither Dershowitz nor his lawyers publicly explained what legal issue supposedly prevented his appearance, despite repeated requests from congressional staff for clarification. Committee Chairman James Comer called the refusal unacceptable, contrasting Dershowitz’s withdrawal with his months of media appearances demanding transparency and volunteering to testify. Comer rescheduled the interview for September 2 and warned that the committee could subpoena Dershowitz if he refuses again, raising questions about why a man who repeatedly insisted he wanted to tell Congress everything suddenly retreated once an actual appearance was arranged. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Dershowitz Told By Attorneys He Cannot Legally Testify on Epstein Ties | News | The Harvard Crimson [https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2026/7/18/dershowitz-epstein-testimony/]

Congress Presses Jes Staley on Epstein, Cash and “Snow White” (7/24/26)

Former Barclays chief Jes Staley told the House Oversight Committee that he was unsure whether Jeffrey Epstein had introduced him to a woman dressed as Snow White, despite emails showing Staley referencing the Disney character. In a July 2010 exchange, Staley told Epstein to “say hi to Snow White” and, when Epstein asked which character he wanted next, replied, “Beauty and the Beast.” Staley reportedly maintained during the closed-door interview that he did not know what those messages referred to, while acknowledging that he had a consensual sexual relationship with one of Epstein’s assistants at an Epstein-linked apartment in New York. Staley also told the committee that he visited Epstein while Epstein was serving his Florida jail sentence following his 2008 conviction and that he saw Epstein regularly withdraw large amounts of cash from his JPMorgan accounts. Committee Chairman James Comer said internal discussions at JPMorgan showed concern that Epstein was a high-risk client, but Staley continued defending him. Staley claimed he ended contact with Epstein after becoming Barclays CEO in 2015, though his relationship with Epstein later triggered regulatory scrutiny, contributed to his 2021 resignation and resulted in him being banned from senior financial-management roles in Britain. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: Ex-Barclays chief Jes Staley tells House panel he's 'unsure' he met woman in a Snow White costume through Jeffrey Epstein: source [https://nypost.com/2026/07/23/us-news/ex-barclays-chief-jes-staley-tells-house-panel-hes-unsure-he-met-woman-in-a-snow-white-costume-through-jeffrey-epstein-source/]

Doug Band And His Epstein Related Congressional Transcript (Part 6) (7/24/26)

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]

Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein A Justice System That Looked The Other Way (7/24/26)

Jeffrey Epstein used his wealth, elite connections, and access to influential lawyers to insulate himself from the consequences of years of sexual abuse allegations. He cultivated relationships with politicians, financiers, academics, royalty, and powerful institutions, giving him an aura of legitimacy that made authorities appear reluctant to treat him like an ordinary criminal suspect. When Palm Beach police built a substantial case against him in the mid-2000s, Epstein assembled a high-powered legal team that pressured prosecutors, challenged investigators, and negotiated aggressively behind closed doors. The result was the extraordinary 2007 non-prosecution agreement, which spared him from federal charges, concealed the deal from his victims, and extended protection to unnamed potential co-conspirators. Even after pleading guilty to state prostitution-related charges in 2008, Epstein received treatment that reflected his privileged position. He served much of his sentence in a private wing of the county jail and was granted extensive work-release privileges that allowed him to leave custody for hours at a time, six days a week. After his release, he rebuilt his social standing, continued associating with wealthy and powerful people, and faced little meaningful scrutiny for another decade. Epstein’s story demonstrated how money and influence could slow investigations, soften punishment, intimidate accusers, and turn serious allegations into manageable legal and public-relations problems until federal prosecutors arrested him again in 2019. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
