Prince Andrew Branded As An Egotist By Former Head Of Royal Security

On August 22, 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice released redacted transcripts and audio recordings of a two-day interview it conducted in July with Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year federal prison sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring. During the interview, Maxwell denied ever seeing any inappropriate behavior by former President Donald Trump, describing him as a “gentleman in all respects,” and insisted she “never witnessed the president in any inappropriate setting in any way.” She also rejected the existence of a so-called “client list,” countering years of speculation, and claimed to have no knowledge of blackmail or illicit recordings tied to Epstein.In addition to defending high-profile figures, Maxwell expressed doubt that Epstein’s death was a suicide, while also rejecting the notion of an elaborate conspiracy or murder plot. The release of the transcripts—handled under the Trump-era Justice Department—has stirred sharp political debate. Trump allies have framed her remarks as vindication, while critics and Epstein’s survivors question her credibility, pointing to her conviction and suggesting her words may be aimed at influencing potential clemency or political favor.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Interview Transcript - Maxwell 2025.07.24 (Redacted).pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Ghislaine Maxwell repeatedly pointed to Jeffrey Epstein’s 2007–2008 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) as a shield against her own criminal exposure, arguing that the deal’s language was broad enough to insulate not just Epstein, but those who allegedly assisted him. Her defense leaned heavily on the clause that purported to cover unnamed “co-conspirators,” claiming that federal prosecutors had already bargained away the government’s ability to charge her years later. By framing the NPA as a sweeping, binding promise, Maxwell attempted to recast herself as a beneficiary of Epstein’s deal—despite not being a signatory and despite the agreement being negotiated without victims’ meaningful input.Courts ultimately rejected that strategy, finding that the NPA did not grant Maxwell immunity and could not be stretched to function as a blanket pardon for future defendants. Judges emphasized that the agreement bound only the parties who signed it, applied to a specific jurisdiction, and did not override later federal prosecutions based on independently gathered evidence. In effect, Maxwell’s reliance on the NPA backfired: it highlighted how aggressively Epstein’s deal had been used to suppress accountability, while underscoring that she was trying to inherit protections never legally hers. The failure of that argument reinforced a central point of her case—that Epstein’s extraordinary deal distorted justice—but it did not save her from facing charges herself.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Joseph Schnitt, a Department of Justice official, was recently caught in a sting operation by a James O’Keefe operative posing as a date on a dating app. During the secretly recorded meeting, Schnitt claimed the DOJ planned to redact Republican names from the Jeffrey Epstein files while leaving liberal names visible, fueling suspicions of political bias in the release of the documents. He also alleged that Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to a minimum-security prison was essentially a favor to keep her quiet, and described internal conflict between Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino over whether to release the files.After the footage surfaced, the DOJ quickly distanced itself from Schnitt’s comments, calling them “personal views based on media reports” with “absolutely zero bearing on reality.” Schnitt himself insisted he didn’t know he was being recorded and that he was speaking offhand, not offering insider information. Still, the incident embarrassed the DOJ, provided fresh fuel for critics of the Epstein cover-up, and underscored just how easily an official could spill sensitive claims in an unguarded moment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Top DOJ Official Spills Jeffrey Epstein Cover-Up Plans to HoneytrapBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Marina Lacerda, now 37, revealed that she was first approached by Epstein in 2002 when she was just 14, under the pretext of providing massage services, which led to years of sexual abuse in his New York residence. She recounted horrifying details of Epstein’s home operating like a "revolving door," hosting up to 5–10 women per day. After being contacted originally by investigators in 2008—only for Epstein to secure a secret non-prosecution agreement that prevented her from testifying before a grand jury—she was approached again over a decade later, and her testimony ultimately became pivotal in the 2019 sex-trafficking charges against him .Lacerda passionately called for transparency by urging the Trump administration to release all files related to Epstein’s crimes—not only for the sake of the victims but also for the American public. She emphasized that access to her records would help her—and others—begin to heal, acting as a broader demand for public accountability and truth. Her plea aligns with a broader bipartisan congressional push, led by Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie, to force the Justice Department to disclose Epstein‑related documents, despite claims that no "client list" exists.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:'We need the Epstein files to be out': Central witness in Epstein case speaks publicly for 1st time - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Valdson Cotrin, who managed Epstein’s Paris residence for 18 years, publicly challenged the official ruling that Epstein died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019. He insisted that Epstein “loved life too much” to have taken his own life and believed his boss was intent on negotiating bail. Cotrin expressed fear for his own safety, citing the mysterious deaths of individuals tied to the case—including accuser Virginia Giuffre and modeling agent Jean‑Luc Brunel—as cause for concern.Beyond doubts about Epstein’s death, Cotrin painted a picture of Epstein as deeply connected within elite circles. He made striking claims—including that Epstein told him Trump offered him a job in his administration, which Epstein declined, and recalling Ghislaine Maxwell as the true authority in his household. Cotrin also recounted memorable moments, such as collecting Epstein from the Paris airport and encountering Bill Clinton, describing the experience as intimidating—he "was trembling"—and confirmed he retains photographs of himself with both Epstein and Clinton, despite claiming he never witnessed the criminal behavior Epstein was accused of.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein 'loved life too much' to kill himself and must have been murdered, his butler says as he spills the beans on everyone who visited - from Prince Andrew to Bill Clinton | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The grand jury transcripts from Operation Leap Year, convened in West Palm Beach in 2007, reveal a federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein that was far broader and more aggressive than the charges that ultimately emerged. Testimony before the grand jury laid out evidence suggesting a coordinated, multi-victim sex-trafficking scheme involving interstate conduct, recruitment of minors, and the use of intermediaries to facilitate abuse. Witnesses described a consistent pattern: underage girls being recruited, transported, and paid, with corroboration from victims, law enforcement, and supporting records. The scope reflected in the transcripts indicates prosecutors were examining serious federal felonies—far beyond the narrow state solicitation counts that Epstein later pleaded to.What makes the transcripts especially significant is what happened next. Despite the gravity and breadth of evidence presented, the federal case was quietly shelved, and the investigation was effectively abandoned without a public accounting. The records underscore how the Department of Justice had a viable path to indict Epstein federally in 2007, a move that could have halted his abuse years earlier. Instead, the grand jury’s work was sealed, the investigation dissolved, and Epstein was routed into an unusually lenient state resolution. In hindsight, Operation Leap Year stands as documentary proof that the failure to prosecute was not due to lack of evidence—but to a decision to walk away from a fully developed federal case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00009632.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The unsealing of federal records related to Jeffrey Epstein has revealed that U.S. authorities received a 2020 tip alleging Epstein possessed compromising recordings involving Prince Andrew, purportedly hidden at a residence in the Bahamas. The tip, traced to an IP address in Norway, claimed Epstein had maintained leverage material for years and provided specific details about where such recordings might be stored. Authorities have not substantiated the allegations, and no evidence has emerged to confirm the existence of the tapes. The FBI has not authenticated the claims, and the information appears in files as an unverified tip rather than established fact. As with many submissions in the Epstein case, the record reflects what was reported to investigators, not what was proven.The allegation underscores the ongoing challenge of separating credible information from rumor in a case long defined by secrecy, power, and institutional failure. Epstein’s documented pattern of surveillance and leverage-building makes the idea of recorded material plausible in the abstract, but specificity alone does not equal verification. Journalistically, the significance of the disclosure lies less in the claim itself than in what it illustrates: the volume of explosive but unresolved information authorities received, much of which remains uncorroborated. The files highlight how Epstein-related investigations have been shaped by delays, jurisdictional limits, and unanswered questions, leaving the public to confront a case where even the most serious allegations often remain suspended between possibility and proof.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Andrew faces fresh scrutiny after FBI note mentions hidden Epstein tapesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
