The Feds Hammer Epstein's Pre Trial Motion For Bail (Part 3) (9/13/25)

In October 2020, Maxwell formally added Bobbi Sternheim to her defense team. Court filings from that time show Sternheim appeared as counsel for Maxwell in the sex-trafficking case brought by the U.S. government. Sternheim — described in media reports as a “super-lawyer” — had a reputation for handling high-stakes federal criminal cases, including representing an associate of Osama bin Laden in a major terrorism trial.Bringing Sternheim onboard signaled a significant shift in Maxwell’s defense. In the subsequent 2021 trial, Sternheim delivered the opening statement. She framed Maxwell not as akin to her former associate Jeffrey Epstein, but as a kind of scapegoat — a “woman blamed for the bad behavior of men.” This reframing was part of a broader strategy: rather than directly challenging all the accusers’ testimony, the defense under Sternheim emphasized doubts about memory, suggested motivations of money, and portrayed Maxwell as unfairly vilified because of Epstein. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After Epstein’s 2008 non-prosecution deal — which Dershowitz helped negotiate — Dershowitz found himself accused by one of Epstein’s alleged victims, Virginia Giuffre, of having been trafficked by Epstein. Dershowitz vehemently denied the allegation and counter-sued, claiming Giuffre and her lawyers were engaged in an extortion scheme aimed not only at him but at Wexner, whom Dershowitz said Giuffre and her team threatened privately. In connection with that countersuit, Dershowitz deposed Wexner in early 2022, pointing to Wexner as a potential target of alleged extortion and arguing that any civil-suit payout should ultimately come from him rather than from Dershowitz.But Wexner’s camp pushed back hard. Attorneys for Wexner flatly denied that any extortion demand had ever been made, denied that any settlement had been entered into, and said no money or other consideration was ever paid. They asserted Wexner “had no involvement” and lacked “any personal knowledge relating to” Dershowitz’s “extortion claim.” That denial undermined a central plank of Dershowitz’s countersuit. Meanwhile, Wexner had previously publicly stated that he “regretted” his association with Epstein — noting that Epstein had misappropriated substantial sums from him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

After Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted, her legal team attempted to draw parallels between her case and the overturned conviction of Bill Cosby, arguing that Maxwell was also the victim of an unfair legal process and prosecutorial overreach. They claimed that the government had used her as a stand-in for Jeffrey Epstein, similar to how Cosby’s team argued that his conviction relied on procedural failures rather than evidence. Maxwell’s lawyers asserted that her trial was tainted by intense media pressure, emotional public sentiment, and what they described as a rush to secure a conviction after Epstein’s death. Their position was that Maxwell, like Cosby, deserved relief based on constitutional concerns and alleged violations of due process.The defense also used the Cosby comparison to challenge the legitimacy of witness testimony, arguing that the accusers’ memories were unreliable and influenced by outside forces, publicity, and financial incentives. They made the case that, as with Cosby, the court should reconsider whether the testimony admitted at trial was legally appropriate or unfairly prejudicial. Additionally, they pointed to the controversy surrounding a juror who failed to disclose past sexual abuse, arguing that this misconduct created a scenario similar to Cosby’s, where the appellate court ultimately decided procedural errors outweighed the conviction. Ultimately, however, the judge rejected Maxwell’s appeal arguments and refused to apply the Cosby standard to her case, ruling that the evidence against her was overwhelming and the trial process was legally sound.to contact  me:  bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, a class action lawsuit titled Jane Doe 1, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. JP Morgan Chase & Co. was filed. The complaint represented not only Jane Doe 1, but a broader group of alleged victims who claimed they suffered harm tied to the actions—and alleged inaction—of JP Morgan Chase & Co. The filing formally demanded a jury trial, signaling the plaintiffs’ intention to take the allegations into open court rather than resolve them quietly behind closed doors.The case was framed as both an individual and a class action complaint, raising the stakes considerably for the financial giant. By categorizing it this way, the plaintiffs positioned their claims as part of a larger systemic issue involving an entire group of alleged victims. The filing marked the beginning of what later became one of the most scrutinized legal battles connected to the Jeffrey Epstein network, setting the stage for intense public inquiry into the bank’s role and potential liability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - 00513854.DOCXBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The Epstein scandal is rapidly evolving into a crisis that rivals—if not surpasses—the most infamous presidential scandals in American history, such as Watergate and Iran-Contra. Those scandals were rooted in political corruption and abuse of power, but the Epstein saga carries a darker, more corrosive weight: it implicates multiple presidents, across party lines, in a web of sexual exploitation, human trafficking, financial criminality, and intelligence-style operations spanning decades. The scope is unprecedented—its network crosses borders, infiltrates global finance, academia, politics, intelligence, philanthropy, and celebrity culture. Unlike previous scandals that were geographically contained and structurally centralized, the Epstein story touches nearly every institution that claims moral authority, revealing systemic rot rather than isolated wrongdoing. It has become a mirror exposing how power is actually wielded behind closed doors.What makes this scandal uniquely explosive is the ongoing cover-up. Americans watched both Republican and Democratic presidents minimize the story, suppress documents, seal evidence, and insist on silence despite mountains of public testimony, lawsuits, and survivor accounts. When a sitting president calls Epstein’s operation a “hoax,” and another pretends distance despite private flights and personal visits, it shatters the illusion that leadership is ever truly accountable. Watergate toppled a presidency; Iran-Contra nearly did the same. But the Epstein scandal cuts deeper, because it strikes at the heart of trust—the belief that children are protected, justice is real, and leaders represent the public rather than shield a predatory elite. If the truth ever fully emerges, the political fallout could dwarf every scandal that came before it, forcing a reckoning far beyond partisan loyalties.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Files: Will Voters Hold Trump Accountable?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jasmine Crockett has quickly become one of the most controversial figures in the congressional conversation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—not because she is exposing new truths, but because her reckless inaccuracies are actively damaging the pursuit of accountability. Her recent barrage of factually incorrect statements, including the false claim that Rep. Lee Zeldin received money from the Jeffrey Epstein, has already been thoroughly disproven. Yet instead of acknowledging the error and correcting the record, she doubled down, delivering defensive tirades that only amplified the misinformation. In a case where accuracy and credibility are everything, Crockett’s refusal to retract statements that were demonstrably incorrect has given Epstein apologists and political opponents a convenient distraction from the real crimes and the powerful figures still hiding behind legal armor.The consequences of Crockett’s behavior stretch far beyond a simple political misstep. Survivors, advocates, and serious investigators fighting for justice have spent years trying to overcome institutional gaslighting, redactions, sealed documents, and high-profile spin campaigns. When a lawmaker entrusted with a national platform spreads verifiably false accusations and refuses to correct them, it hands ammunition to those intent on downplaying the scope of Epstein’s criminal enterprise. It allows defenders of the status quo to point to her mistakes and paint the entire push for transparency as sloppy, partisan theater. Instead of strengthening the fight for truth, Crockett has become a liability—proving that recklessness with facts is just as dangerous as deliberate cover-ups when the stakes include justice for victims and exposure of one of the largest elite trafficking networks in modern history.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Shameless Democrat Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett defends her false claim that Trump aide took money from predator Jeffrey Epstein | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Dan Bongino, once loudly positioning himself as a crusader who would expose the truth about the Jeffrey Epstein files, has faced sharp criticism after declaring that he found no meaningful evidence of broader criminal networks or institutional involvement. After months of hyping “day one releases” and promising to blow open the case if he ever gained access, Bongino’s public stance quickly shifted once he was in a position to review materials. His abrupt insistence that the case amounted to nothing more than the actions of a lone predator has fueled accusations that he folded under pressure and retreated from his earlier rhetoric. Critics argue that his reversal echoes a familiar pattern: loud outrage while cameras are rolling, followed by silence and procedural excuses once genuine accountability becomes possible.The backlash has been fierce among those who believed Bongino would expose government failures and powerful co-conspirators connected to Epstein. Instead, they accuse him of becoming indistinguishable from the very institutional voices he long condemned, defending official narratives rather than challenging them. Critics view his performance as a high-profile capitulation, arguing that he abandoned survivors and the public’s demand for transparency by minimizing the scope of Epstein’s network and suggesting there was nothing more to uncover. The sentiment among detractors is blunt: meet the new boss—same as the old boss.to contact me:bobbycapucc@protonmail.comsource:Dan Bongino Scrambles to Explain Epstein Files Redaction EmailBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Faith Kates has resigned from her position following the release of newly surfaced emails linking her more directly and more knowingly to Jeffrey Epstein, a longtime associate whose network has continued to unravel publicly. Kates, a powerful figure in the entertainment and media world for decades, has faced escalating scrutiny over her proximity to Epstein and her alleged awareness of his behavior. While she has long maintained distance and denied knowledge of his crimes, the documents that recently emerged severely undermine those claims, indicating deeper involvement and raising significant questions about what she knew and when she knew it. Her resignation, announced abruptly and without detail, comes amid growing public pressure and calls for accountability against individuals who enabled or turned a blind eye to Epstein’s activities.Despite a history of influence and a carefully curated public image, Kates’ departure is widely viewed not as an act of responsibility but as a strategic attempt to mitigate fallout before further revelations surface. The timing of her exit strongly suggests an effort to get ahead of an approaching crisis rather than a voluntary or moral decision. Observers note that resignations following damaging disclosures have become a familiar pattern among Epstein’s network, as former allies scramble to distance themselves while survivors and advocates demand transparency. As investigations continue and additional communications are expected, the resignation is likely only the beginning of a much larger reckoning for figures linked to Epstein’s operation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Next Model Management co-founder Faith Kates 'retires' after Jeffrey Epstein e-mails resurfaceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
