The Billionaires Playboy Club: A Memoir By Virginia Roberts Chapter 11 Part 3) (10/28/25)

The newly released congressional emails between Jeffrey Epstein and his circle put both Epstein and Donald Trump in a deeply compromising light. In one 2011 message, Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell that Trump had “spent hours” with a trafficked girl at his home — a statement that, if true, torpedoes Trump’s long-maintained claim that his ties to Epstein were minimal. Even worse, Epstein’s casual tone about the incident suggests he saw Trump as part of the same culture of impunity that protected him for years. The emails offer a rare glimpse into Epstein’s mindset — calculating, manipulative, and self-assured that men like Trump would never be held to account because of who they were, not what they did.Additional exchanges between Epstein and author Michael Wolff reveal just how transactional their thinking was. Epstein speculated about using Trump’s denials as leverage, while also claiming that Trump “knew about the girls” and even told Ghislaine to “stop.” The phrasing is damning, not just for what it says but for the world it exposes — a web of men who traded favors, secrets, and silence like currency. Both Epstein and Trump come across as creatures of the same ecosystem: powerful, reckless, and convinced the rules would never apply to them.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein mentioned Trump multiple times in private emails, new release shows | CNN PoliticsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s saga was never just the story of a sex-trafficking billionaire; it was the story of how power, intelligence, and money fuse into a single machine of influence. Documents released by the House Oversight Committee and reporting from outlets such as Drop Site revealed that Epstein’s Manhattan apartment hosted figures like Yoni Koren, a senior Israeli intelligence officer tied to former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Leaked emails and calendar entries show wire transfers, coded errands, and meetings that overlapped with Barak’s dealings with former CIA Director Leon Panetta and other defense officials. These records—paired with years of silence from major media—suggest that Epstein operated as a broker of access, moving seamlessly between finance, technology, and national-security circles while prosecutors, politicians, and governments looked the other way.Behind the procedural delays and partisan noise in Washington lies the same motive that shielded Epstein in life: protection of the powerful. The stalled congressional vote to release the full, unredacted “Epstein files” reflects bipartisan fear of what the documents might confirm—that the scandal wasn’t an anomaly but a glimpse of how the modern intelligence economy actually works. Epstein’s homes, jets, and investments formed a web where blackmail, espionage, and profit overlapped. Whether he acted as asset or opportunist remains unproven, but the surviving records make clear that his network touched the highest levels of state and corporate power. What’s at stake in the fight over those files isn’t gossip—it’s the map of a system built to ensure that truth itself remains classified.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A bipartisan effort in the United States House of Representatives is on the cusp of forcing a vote to release previously withheld government records connected to Jeffrey Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. The mechanism is a discharge petition—which, once it receives 218 signatures, compels the House Speaker to schedule the vote. With the planned swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) poised to provide the crucial 218th signature, the measure could move to the floor in early December if no procedural hurdles arise..That said, the maneuver is rooted in broader partisan and procedural tensions. Speaker Mike Johnson faces criticism for delaying Grijalva's swearing-in amid a House recess, which opponents say was meant to stall the petition and avoid a vote. Johnson maintains the petition is redundant given an ongoing House oversight investigation. Even if the vote proceeds in the House, significant obstacles remain: the Senate and the White House would need to approve the measure for full document release.The showdown  is set.    Who will blink first?to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Here’s how the House battle over the Epstein files will play out - POLITICOBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the deposition conducted by attorney Brad Edwards in March 2010, Jeffrey Epstein faced direct questioning regarding his alleged sexual abuse of minors and the recruitment of underage girls for sexual purposes. Throughout the session, Epstein invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 200 times, refusing to answer nearly every question posed to him—including inquiries about the ages of the girls who visited his Palm Beach mansion, the payments made to them, and whether he had ever engaged in sexual contact with minors. His silence extended to questions about associates, travel records, and his relationship with law enforcement officials who had handled his prior case. The deposition painted a portrait of an uncooperative and evasive witness whose primary strategy was avoidance, offering no meaningful insight into his actions or his network.Edwards, representing multiple victims, later used Epstein’s refusals to support adverse inferences in civil court—essentially arguing that Epstein’s blanket use of the Fifth Amendment implied guilt or, at minimum, awareness of wrongdoing. The deposition reinforced the picture of Epstein as a powerful man shielded by money and influence, unwilling to confront the accusations directly. It became a key piece of evidence demonstrating his long-standing pattern of avoiding accountability, helping set the stage for renewed legal scrutiny years later when federal prosecutors in New York reopened the Epstein case in 2019.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In her December 2023 ruling, Loretta Preska, the U.S. District Judge overseeing the case stemming from the civil suit by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, determined that more than 150 names that had been redacted from court filings would be unsealed as of January 1, 2024. She explained that the public interest in transparency outweighed the privacy interests of many involved, particularly because a significant portion of the information—such as names of associates and witnesses—was already in the public domain via media reporting, depositions, or previous filings. She granted anyone named in the documents a deadline to request a further redaction before the release.However, Judge Preska also made clear that not all records would become public: she insisted that names of minors or individuals whose involvement stemmed solely from victim-status would remain shielded, because their privacy interests outweighed any public benefit in disclosure. She cautioned that many of the names being released may lack context as to how they relate to the litigation or alleged misconduct — meaning a name in the filings does not automatically imply innocence or guilt.We also hear from Tartaglione's lawyer about the missing video.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

From the very beginning, the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein was designed to protect him, not punish him. Instead of a normal criminal process, what unfolded in South Florida looked more like a negotiation between powerful friends. Prosecutors gave Epstein a level of deference that no other accused sex offender would ever receive. His lawyers were allowed to dictate terms, stall proceedings, and ultimately secure the secret Non-Prosecution Agreement that protected him and his accomplices from federal charges. Epstein’s victims were never told about the deal, his “sentence” let him work from his private office six days a week, and the prosecutors went out of their way to coordinate with his defense team to control media exposure. Every decision, from his jail privileges to the classified nature of the deal itself, showed that the system wasn’t just compromised — it was actively serving him.That preferential treatment revealed a justice system that bent under pressure from money and influence. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, led by Alex Acosta, treated Epstein’s wealth and connections as untouchable factors, and in doing so, erased any pretense of equality under the law. Even when later reviews tried to frame the debacle as “poor judgment,” it was clear that this was intentional — a calculated effort to shield Epstein and anyone tied to him. Prosecutors who should have fought for victims instead worked to silence them. What was supposed to be a federal criminal case became a containment operation, carefully managed to keep Epstein’s network out of the public eye and preserve the reputations of everyone standing behind him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Prince Andrew’s fall from grace is a portrait of unchecked privilege, arrogance, and moral rot. Once celebrated as the “Playboy Prince,” his lifestyle spiraled into decadence and scandal — marked by his association with Jeffrey Epstein, lavish parties, and a pattern of reckless indulgence that blurred royal decorum with outright degeneracy. Accounts from multiple sources depict Andrew as consumed by lust, status, and ego, surrounding himself with the world’s richest and most corrupt figures while maintaining a reputation for being boorish and entitled. His close relationship with Epstein — a man accused of preying on minors — wasn’t a coincidence, but a reflection of his own appetites and blindness to consequence. Even before Epstein’s crimes became public, Andrew’s behavior was infamous among insiders who quietly regarded him as a liability to the Crown.Jeffrey Epstein allegedly bragged in a documentary that there was “only one person who likes sex more than me, and that’s Andrew,” referring to Prince Andrew, Duke of York. The film, which examines the close friendship between Epstein and the disgraced royal, paints a picture of mutual indulgence and depravity. Epstein reportedly described Andrew as his “real best buddy,” claiming they shared similar appetites and circles of company. According to the documentary, Epstein kept Andrew’s contact information prominently listed multiple times in his black book — a testament to how close their bond was. The insinuation from those who knew Epstein was clear: this was not just a social friendship, but one built on shared secrets and vices, and Epstein took pride in boasting about it.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
