Donald Trump visited Jeffrey Epstein regularly at his Palm Beach mansion, Epstein's housekeeper testified - but never had massages or stayed the night, and always ate his meals with the staff in the kitchen. Juan Alessi's 2009 deposition was made public on Friday as part of the third tranche of documents released by a Manhattan judge. The documents formed part of a 2015 defamation case filed by one of Epstein's victims, Virginia Roberts-Giuffre, against Epstein's right-hand woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. Alessi, who worked for Epstein from around 1990 until 2002, was asked whether Trump - whose Mar-a-Lago home is less than...

At long last, the names contained in court documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein are being released. It’s a slow trickle, to be sure, but four long years after the arraignment and eventual death of Epstein in prison, it’s a release that’s long overdue. One reporter who no doubt vehemently agrees with this sentiment is reporter Amy Robach, who said she had the story a full three years before Epstein’s death, only for her employer at the time, ABC News, to, in her words, “quash” the whole thing. This information comes from a leaked video of Robach’s comments...

A mystery person in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal begged a federal judge today not to turn over a trove of confidential papers listing some of the dead pedophile's closest associates to the celebrity attorney Alan Dershowitz. The bombshell papers are part of a historic defamation case that Virginia Giuffre, previously known as Virginia Roberts, brought against the warped financier's alleged madam and facilitator, Ghislaine Maxwell. The cache is subject to a historic protective order but Dershowitz argues it contains depositions and materials crucial for his own defense as he battles Giuffre in a separate, ongoing defamation case.

Prince Andrew will launch an extraordinary public fight back today after US authorities made a formal request for him to be quizzed over the Epstein affair. The Duke of York is poised this afternoon to release “evidence” that he says will show he has been cooperating with U.S.officials.

Federal prosecutors in New York have formally requested through the British government to speak with Prince Andrew as part of their ongoing criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's history of sexual abuse, according to a person familiar with the matter. The request made by Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty is similar to a subpoena in this case for Prince Andrew's testimony. **SNIP** Federal investigators have been trying for months to speak with Andrew, a longtime friend of Epstein's who has been accused by one woman of sexual abuse.

Roberts, now 35, told BBC Panorama in a one-hour sitdown -- reportedly conducted before the broadcaster's interview with Andrew that aired Nov. 14 -- how she first met Epstein.

Prince Andrew's suggestion that sex is a 'positive act' for a man, so therefore difficult to forget, is said to have left Meghan Markle 'troubled'. A source, described as 'close to The Duchess of Sussex' spoke to The Daily Telegraph criticising his BBC Newsnight interview and describing Meghan's reaction to seeing it.

Epstein’s moral compass was very broken. And, considering we have not seen sufficient proof that he is dead, he might be molesting children as I write this. Did Jeffrey Epstein Actually Commit Suicide, Was He “Suicided” Or Was His Death Faked? Jean-Luc Brunel was an Epstein friend and a scout for Next Top Model. For a birthday gift, according to testimony in court documents, Brunel found 12-year-old triplets for Epstein to have his way with.

Giuffre, then known by her maiden name Virginia Roberts, arrived at London Luton airport on March 9 along with Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Hours later, a photograph of Andrew with his arm around Giuffre’s waist was taken in Maxwell’s flat. A month later, on April 9, the duke began an official visit to the U.S. in his capacity as chairman of the trustees of the Outward Bound Trust. The Court Circular, the official record of royal movements, recorded his presence in New York that day. The Mail says that the very same day, Giuffre also flew to New York. She...

France’s government wants to launch an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein and his reported “links” to the European country — where he maintained a residence and visited often. The probe was first suggested on Monday by Innocence Endangered, a French NGO that defends children’s’ rights, before it was picked up and proposed by local officials. “These stays on French territory were regular and it is up to the investigators (…) to shed light on the use of the apartment acquired by Mr. Epstein,” said Innocence Endangered in a letter to Paris prosecutors, according to the Agence France Presse.

Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s friend, former partner and alleged madam, Ghislaine Maxwell, was reportedly “very close” to Bill Clinton, who recently went on the record through a spokesman to say he “knows nothing” about Epstein’s crimes. A Politico report from Sunday about the Maxwell-Clinton connection cited a number of anonymous individuals. One of those said to be familiar with the situation claimed that the British socialite Maxwell was not only “incredibly close” to Chelsea Clinton, but also “had her own relationship with Bill Clinton and was very close to him”: Maxwell first grew close with the Clintons after Bill Clinton...

THE EXTENT of Prince Andrew’s alleged connection with Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of sex trafficking offences, will be exposed as thousands of secret documents are to be released.

A strange thing happened when Jeffrey Epstein came back to New York City after being branded a sex offender: His reputation appeared to rise. In 2010, the year after he got out of a Florida prison, Katie Couric and George Stephanopoulos dined at his Manhattan mansion with a British royal. The next year, Mr. Epstein was photographed at a “billionaire’s dinner” attended by tech titans like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk. A page popped up on Harvard University’s website lauding his accomplishments, and superlative-filled news releases described his lofty ambitions as he dedicated $10 million to charitable causes.
