Inside Jeffrey Epstein’s Draft Will Featuring Larry Summers and Jes Staley (12/24/25)

The U.S. Department of Justice released another massive tranche of Epstein-related materials early Tuesday under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, bringing the total to tens of thousands of new pages and media now publicly searchable online. Reports indicate nearly 30,000 additional documents and video clips were posted, though many remain heavily redacted or unclear in significance. The new files include emails, surveillance footage, evidence logs, and other investigative records connected to Epstein’s case and associates, drawing renewed attention to his criminal network and the scope of federal investigation. The DOJ’s release notes that some claims contained in the documents — including allegations about public figures — are unverified or sensationalist and were included to comply with the law’s transparency requirements rather than as evidence of criminal conduct. Victims’ advocates continue to criticize the pace and depth of disclosure, and political controversy has flared as some files released earlier this week were removed without explanation.Among the notable contents in this December 23 dump are emails suggesting previously unseen communications involving Ghislaine Maxwell and a sender linked to “Balmoral,” possibly tied to a British royal, as well as flight records and correspondence referencing former President Donald Trump’s travel on Epstein’s jet more often than previously documented — though context and implications remain heavily redacted. The release also reportedly contains surveillance materials from the timeframe around Epstein’s death, adding to ongoing public distrust and speculation about transparency in the case. High-profile reactions include political pushback over reputational concerns, continued disputes over redaction practices, and calls from lawmakers for enforcement of the transparency law after deadlines were missed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein files live updates as Justice Department releases huge new set of documents, photosBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The latest Epstein document release further reinforces how deeply Prince Andrew was entangled in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit and how aware authorities were of his potential exposure long before public accountability set in. Newly surfaced investigative materials show that prosecutors believed Andrew had direct knowledge of Ghislaine Maxwell’s role in recruiting young women and sought to question him formally about his relationship with Epstein, his presence around victims, and his continued contact after Epstein’s 2008 conviction. The documents make clear that Andrew was not viewed as a peripheral figure, but as someone investigators considered central enough to warrant detailed questioning under caution. Despite this, no interview ever took place, underscoring the long-standing gap between investigative interest and actual enforcement when it came to a senior royal.The files also highlight the extraordinary degree of institutional hesitation surrounding Andrew, both in the United Kingdom and internationally. While investigators outlined lines of questioning and compiled evidence, diplomatic sensitivities and royal privilege effectively stalled progress. Andrew’s refusal to cooperate was tolerated for years, even as civil litigation and survivor testimony mounted, and British authorities showed little urgency in compelling his participation. The documents illustrate a pattern in which reputational risk to the monarchy consistently outweighed accountability, allowing Andrew to avoid meaningful scrutiny until public pressure became impossible to ignore. Rather than revealing new allegations, the release confirms what survivors and journalists have long argued: that Prince Andrew was shielded not by a lack of concern, but by a system unwilling to confront power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew 'knew Ghislaine was a sex madam', Epstein cops believed - as new docs reveal efforts to quiz royal under cautionBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell attempted to leverage her long-standing proximity to powerful political figures—most notably the Clintons—as part of a broader effort to recast herself as a peripheral player rather than a central architect of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation. In post-conviction filings and behind-the-scenes advocacy, Maxwell emphasized her access to former presidents, donors, and global elites as evidence of a life rooted in high-level social and political circles, implicitly arguing that such status made the prosecution’s portrayal of her as a hands-on trafficker implausible. The subtext was clear: she sought to frame herself as a social facilitator who moved among the famous and influential, not as a criminal mastermind deserving of a decades-long sentence.That strategy extended to highlighting her connections to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, suggesting—without producing exculpatory evidence—that her associations with prominent Democratic power brokers reflected legitimacy and respectability rather than criminality. Prosecutors and the court rejected this framing, noting that elite access does not negate culpability and that Maxwell’s role was proven through victim testimony, corroborating evidence, and a clear pattern of conduct. Ultimately, the court made plain that political proximity would not mitigate the severity of the crimes, and Maxwell’s attempt to use her relationships with the Clintons as a softening narrative failed to move the needle at sentencing.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Skepticism about the “security concerns” explanation has grown precisely because it relies so heavily on implication rather than documented fact. While it was hinted that Ghislaine Maxwell’s safety was at risk after her DOJ meeting, neither the Bureau of Prisons nor prosecutors ever provided concrete evidence of a specific, credible threat necessitating an interstate transfer. High-profile inmates routinely meet with federal authorities without being uprooted across the prison system, and vague references to “safety” are a standard, catch-all justification that conveniently avoids scrutiny. In Maxwell’s case, the absence of incident reports, disciplinary records, or disclosed threats raises the possibility that the security narrative functioned more as a smokescreen than a genuine explanation.A more plausible interpretation is that the move was driven by administrative, legal, or strategic considerations unrelated to imminent danger—such as managing media exposure, controlling access to Maxwell, or placing her in a facility better suited for isolation, monitoring, or long-term housing. Transfers framed as protective measures often coincide with moments when the government wants tighter control over an inmate’s environment, communications, or visibility rather than out of fear for their life. Seen through that lens, the timing of Maxwell’s relocation after her DOJ meeting may say less about threats against her and more about institutional risk management by the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons. In short, the “safety” explanation remains unproven, untested, and entirely dependent on official silence—hardly a reassuring foundation for such a consequential move.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Despite his deep and long-standing ties to Jeffrey Epstein, billionaire Les Wexner remains an almost untouchable figure in Columbus, Ohio—revered as a philanthropic titan and regional kingmaker. Wexner, the founder of L Brands and the man behind Victoria’s Secret, has wielded enormous influence over the city’s economic and cultural landscape for decades. From hospitals to art centers to Ohio State University, his name is etched into nearly every major institution, with donations totaling hundreds of millions. This civic dominance has insulated him from the level of scrutiny other Epstein-linked figures have received. In Columbus, Wexner is not just a businessman—he’s a legacy, a power broker whose wealth and prestige have bought loyalty, silence, or both.But beneath the surface, that reverence is increasingly uncomfortable. Epstein once held power of attorney over Wexner’s finances, lived in a Wexner-owned mansion, and was given an unusual level of control over Wexner’s personal and professional affairs—facts that have raised serious questions about just how much Wexner knew and when. Yet in Columbus, public officials and institutional leaders rarely speak of it. The media coverage is polite, the criticism muted, and the donor gratitude eternal. It’s as if the city made a conscious choice to separate Wexner the benefactor from Wexner the enabler, ignoring the fact that his empowerment of Epstein may have been a central piece of the larger abuse machinery. In any other city, he might be scrutinized. In Columbus, he’s still the king.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comhttps://www.columbusmonthly.com/story/lifestyle/features/2022/10/25/what-jeffrey-epstein-scandal-means-to-columbus-and-les-wexner/69589703007/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Maureen Comey, a federal prosecutor and daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, was recently removed from her position following a series of high-profile prosecutorial failures, most notably her handling of the Sean “Diddy” Combs case and the ongoing fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. In the Diddy case, despite mounting public allegations, corroborating testimony, and a sprawling federal investigation, Comey failed to secure a conviction on key charges—prompting criticism from within the DOJ and from the public, who viewed it as yet another instance of the wealthy and powerful skirting justice. Her role in the Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell matters had already drawn skepticism, particularly over the slow pace of disclosures and missing evidence. Combined, these failures painted a picture of a prosecutor either unwilling or unable to push cases against elite defendants across the finish line.Comey's dismissal is being viewed by many as symbolic of a broader institutional failure. For years, she was positioned as a central figure in prosecutions that promised accountability for Epstein’s network of enablers, yet few meaningful outcomes followed. The fact that she is now gone—without fanfare, without accountability, and without explanation—only fuels suspicions that her presence was more about containment than prosecution. Her firing doesn’t feel like justice—it feels like an after-the-fact cleanup, a quiet reshuffling meant to relieve pressure while continuing to protect the same circles that have evaded consequences all along.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ fires Maurene Comey, daughter of James Comey and a prosecutor in Sean Combs' and Ghislaine Maxwell's casesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
