Ghislaine Maxwell And The Hefty Sum She Was Willing To Put Up To Walk Free

Judge Jed S. Rakoff delivered a substantial legal victory for Combs, dismissing 21 of the 22 counts in Sara Rivers’ $60 million lawsuit with prejudice, meaning those allegations cannot be refiled. The dismissed claims included accusations of racketeering, assault and battery, forced labor, sexual harassment, false imprisonment, and more—severe charges asserting a hostile and inhumane work environment during her time on Making the Band 2.The only count still pending is under the Gender‑Motivated Violence Protection Act—Count 15. Its future hinges on an appellate court ruling, as the judge paused a final decision on whether to dismiss it with or without prejudice.   Rivers’ attorney, Ariel Mitchell, expressed intentions to appeal, stating they “look forward to more litigation specifically against Mr. Combs."  Meanwhile, Combs’ camp praised the ruling, calling the claims “meritless, time‑barred, and legally deficient,” and thanked the court for its swift resolution of what they considered baseless accusations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'Making the Band' singer Sara Rivers' lawsuit against Diddy dismissedBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s so-called “model visa” scheme was a carefully engineered system that used the glamour of the modeling industry as a cover to import and control young women, many from overseas. Recruiters—often women in his inner circle—lured victims with promises of fashion careers, sometimes backed by legitimate-looking modeling agencies and brand associations like Victoria’s Secret. Once targeted, women were moved through a network of immigration loopholes, sham marriages, and legal paperwork that appeared legitimate to authorities. Epstein’s connections to modeling agents such as Jean-Luc Brunel expanded his international reach, while his money paid for immigration lawyers, housing, and travel to keep the operation running without attracting suspicion. This infrastructure allowed him to maintain a steady supply of victims under the protection of legal status, making escape difficult and silence almost certain.The system thrived in the blind spots between law enforcement agencies, exploiting the fact that visa fraud and marriage records are rarely scrutinized unless tied to larger investigations. Even after Epstein’s death, elements of this network remain intact: lawyers, recruiters, and agencies still in operation, and government files containing the hidden paper trail. Survivors face lingering consequences—fraudulent marriages, precarious immigration status, and the trauma of having their lives rewritten on paper to mask abuse. The scheme’s success shows how predators can twist legitimate systems into tools of exploitation, offering a blueprint that could be reused unless those vulnerabilities are confronted and closed.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In private remarks, President Trump is reported—based on accounts from Rolling Stone citing two insiders—to have described some of Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors, particularly those who appeared in the media, as being “clearly of a ‘Democrat’ political affiliation.” He allegedly suggested that these individuals might be trying “to make him look bad” or implying wrongdoing during his past association with Epstein. The report further notes Trump speculated that they may be working with “prominent liberal attorneys or groups” to damage his reputation.The White House formally denied the report, labeling it false. A spokesperson dismissed the claims as a “desperate attempt by the failing Rolling Stone” to influence public perception..to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Trump has privately pondered if Epstein accusers are just ‘Democrats’ trying to make him look bad, report claims | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In July 2025, a subcommittee of the House Oversight Committee voted 8–2 to authorize subpoenas for the Department of Justice’s complete cache of files related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation. The move came just before Congress’s summer recess, following growing public pressure and bipartisan calls for transparency on how Epstein was investigated, who he was connected to, and why certain prosecutorial decisions were made. Lawmakers framed the action as an accountability measure aimed at uncovering potential government mishandling or preferential treatment, while the timing suggested an intent to keep the issue in public focus during the legislative break.On August 5, 2025, Committee Chair James Comer formally issued the subpoenas, setting strict deadlines. The DOJ was ordered to produce documents by August 19. A series of deposition subpoenas were also sent to high-profile figures with dates spanning late summer into the fall: William Barr (Aug. 18), Alberto Gonzales (Aug. 26), Jeff Sessions (Aug. 28), Robert Mueller (Sept. 2), Loretta Lynch (Sept. 9), Eric Holder (Sept. 30), Merrick Garland (Oct. 2), Hillary Clinton (Oct. 9), and Bill Clinton (Oct. 14). This schedule positioned the investigation to unfold in stages, with a steady cadence of witness appearances leading into October.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein testimony: Will D.C. testimony be public or private?If you'd like to help support my work:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support

Bernard J. Jansen submitted a sworn declaration affirming that, years prior, Virginia Roberts Giuffre had privately disclosed to him instances of sexual abuse inflicted by powerful individuals—among them, Alan Dershowitz—during her time being trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein. According to Jansen, Roberts consistently relayed these experiences without any indication of fabrication, embellishment, or ulterior motive. His testimony underscored that her public allegations stemmed from genuine, firsthand knowledge rather than fabricated claim.In essence, Jansen's report served to bolster Giuffre’s credibility by confirming that her accounts had been shared in confidence long before the public spotlight, reinforcing that her voice was truthful and not motivated by defamation or personal gain. This expert opinion was intended to counter efforts to portray her claims as false or malicious.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein-Docs.pdf (documentcloud.org)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In its brief, the U.S. government argues that Maxwell received a fair trial in the Southern District of New York, that the evidence against her was overwhelming, and that any alleged errors raised by her defense do not warrant reversal. The prosecution maintains that witness testimony, corroborating records, and other evidence firmly established Maxwell’s role in facilitating and participating in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of minors. They emphasize that the district court properly handled jury selection, evidentiary rulings, and sentencing, and that Maxwell’s claims of prejudice or legal error are unfounded.The government’s filing further contends that Maxwell’s constitutional rights were respected throughout the proceedings, and that the trial judge acted within the bounds of discretion in all key rulings. It dismisses arguments that the jury was improperly influenced or that Maxwell was denied a fair opportunity to defend herself, stating that these claims misrepresent the trial record. The brief concludes by urging the Second Circuit to affirm Maxwell’s conviction in its entirety, citing the strength of the government’s case and the fairness of the process that led to the verdict.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.ca2.57831.79.0_1.pdf (courtlistener.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
