Congress Names Epstein’s 'Filthy 14' (Part 2) (9/2/26)

For years, the Epstein story has been defined as much by the people who never seem to face meaningful scrutiny as by the two people who actually went to prison. That is why Thomas Massie’s decision to name fourteen alleged Epstein co-conspirators on the floor of Congress matters. The list includes Jes Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Thomas Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Jean-Luc Brunel, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Lesley Groff and several figures tied to the modeling industry, all of whom intersect with Epstein through money, banking, social access, scheduling, introductions, testimony or allegations. Staley’s extensive relationship with Epstein, Black’s massive payments for financial advice, Wexner’s extraordinary decision to place sweeping financial authority in Epstein’s hands, and Groff’s years spent managing Epstein’s daily affairs all continue to raise questions about how much the people around him knew and why so many of those questions remain unresolved. Other names, including Copperfield, Pritzker, Dubin and Andrew, surface in testimony, investigative records or allegations that have kept pressure on authorities to explain what was investigated and what was not.What emerges is a pattern that has become impossible to ignore: highly sophisticated people repeatedly claim they saw very little, knew very little and understood even less while continuing to do business with Epstein, socialize with him or allegedly help bring women into his orbit. Those explanations become even harder to stomach after Epstein’s 2008 conviction, when his status as a sex offender was public and any continued relationship with him became a conscious choice. Massie’s list now puts fresh pressure on the Justice Department to stop treating these names like background noise and start confronting the money, communications, travel, introductions and testimony connected to each of them. The real question is not whether Epstein knew powerful people. Everyone already knows that. The question is why so many people deeply embedded in his life have spent years offering explanations while the government has offered so few answers.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Rep. Thomas Massie used a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to accuse Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor of committing sex crimes in the United States and to argue that he should be investigated and, if warranted, prosecuted. Massie named Andrew while calling out a broader group of people he described as alleged co-conspirators or participants in Jeffrey Epstein’s network, saying the Justice Department had failed to deliver meaningful accountability. He tied his remarks to the continued fight over millions of Epstein-related records that remain unreleased and said exposing more of that material could help survivors and force federal authorities to act. Massie’s remarks were especially pointed because he made them under congressional privilege, allowing him to state the accusation from the House floor while pressing the DOJ to pursue the underlying allegations rather than leave them buried in civil litigation and document dumps.The allegation centered on claims long made by Virginia Giuffre, who said Epstein trafficked her to Andrew for sex on multiple occasions when she was 17, including at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse and on Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Andrew has repeatedly denied sexually abusing Giuffre and denied wrongdoing, and he settled her civil lawsuit in 2022 without admitting liability. What made Massie’s speech significant was that a sitting member of Congress was no longer treating Andrew merely as an embarrassing Epstein associate; he was publicly framing him as someone who should face direct criminal scrutiny in the United States. Massie also used the moment to argue that the government’s handling of the Epstein files remains incomplete, saying millions of documents are still being withheld and suggesting that naming powerful figures publicly may be one of the only ways to pressure the Justice Department into taking further action.to contact me:[email protected]:Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is accused of 'committing sex crimes in the US' by congressman | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Congress increasingly focused on Richard Kahn because he was not some distant accountant who occasionally handled Jeffrey Epstein’s taxes; he spent years inside the machinery of Epstein’s finances and later became a co-executor of his estate. The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Kahn and questioned him behind closed doors in March 2026 about the companies, payments, gifts, financial transactions and estate operations that surrounded Epstein. Kahn told lawmakers that he had no knowledge of Epstein’s abuse or trafficking and said he saw nothing suspicious in the spending he managed, even though he tracked Epstein’s expenditures closely and authorized payments involving women connected to Epstein. Lawmakers were particularly interested in the web of companies Kahn helped administer, the movement of money through Epstein’s accounts, his role in dealing with banks and the extent to which financial infrastructure helped sustain Epstein’s operation. Oversight Democrats were openly skeptical of Kahn’s claim that he remained unaware, arguing that someone with such intimate knowledge of Epstein’s money deserved far more scrutiny over what he saw, approved and facilitated.The questioning became even more significant when Kahn made admissions that lawmakers said raised additional questions rather than resolving them. Democratic members said Kahn acknowledged helping facilitate a sham marriage involving women connected to Epstein and admitted that he had impersonated Epstein in communications with banks. Congress also zeroed in on Kahn’s role as co-executor of the estate, including settlements paid to survivors and questions about a particular claimant referred to as “Jane Doe 4.” Kahn initially appeared to say that the woman had received a settlement, only for his attorney to later retreat from that account, first saying no settlement existed and then saying he could neither confirm nor deny one. That shifting explanation prompted lawmakers Robert Garcia and Ro Khanna to demand written clarification. The larger congressional focus on Kahn reflected a broader effort to move beyond Epstein’s famous friends and examine the people who actually managed the money, companies and payments that kept his world functioning. Kahn has not been criminally charged and has denied knowingly facilitating Epstein’s crimes, but Congress clearly treated him as one of the central financial figures capable of explaining how Epstein’s operation worked for so long.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein cultivated relationships within segments of France’s political and cultural elite, using wealth, connections, and social access to move comfortably among influential figures. Central to the scrutiny is Jack Lang, a longtime French political figure whose ties to Epstein are detailed in newly surfaced materials showing years of communication, meetings, and requests for assistance. The interactions suggest a relationship built on access and mutual benefit, raising questions about how someone with Epstein’s known criminal history was able to maintain such proximity to prominent individuals. Lang has maintained that he was unaware of Epstein’s past offenses, though that claim has been increasingly questioned given how widely known those issues had become.The situation has drawn attention from French authorities, who have opened financial inquiries examining potential irregularities connected to Lang and his family. More broadly, the episode highlights how Epstein operated internationally—not necessarily through overt criminal activity in every location, but by leveraging influence, funding, and personal connections to embed himself within elite circles. It underscores a recurring pattern seen across multiple countries: individuals in positions of power maintaining relationships with Epstein despite warning signs, contributing to a wider failure of scrutiny and accountability that extended far beyond the United States.to contact me:[email protected]:Epstein in Paris: How a Sex Offender Hustled for Access to France’s Elite - The New York TimesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The document is a sworn OIG interview transcript from June 15, 2021, involving the Bureau of Prisons captain who oversaw security operations at MCC New York during the period surrounding Jeffrey Epstein’s death. The captain described the command structure inside the jail, including his role supervising lieutenants and reporting up to associate wardens or the warden, while investigators walked him through staffing, rosters, post assignments, suicide-watch procedures, SHU operations, and the chain of responsibility on August 9–10, 2019. The transcript is important because it does not present Epstein’s death as a clean, orderly institutional event; instead, it shows a jail struggling with bad staffing, confusing handoffs, unfilled posts, questionable paperwork, and a command structure where critical responsibilities appear to have been either missed, misunderstood, or passed around.The most serious value of the interview is in the irregularities it surfaces. The captain reportedly discussed inaccurate rosters or logs, acknowledged questions around skipped SHU rounds, addressed the fact that Epstein had previously been on suicide watch, and said he would not necessarily have known in real time if officers were failing to conduct required checks. Even more troubling, he expressed concern that certain documents may have been deliberately removed from files that should have been reviewed or audited, and investigators also raised an inmate-count issue involving an inmate named Reyes, whose release may not have been properly reflected in the institution’s count — something the captain treated as a protocol violation. Taken together, the transcript adds another layer to the larger Epstein death record: not a single clean explanation, but a bureaucratic mess of missing or questionable documentation, staffing failures, broken supervision, and institutional chaos at precisely the moment when the most high-profile federal inmate in America was supposed to be under careful control.to contact me:[email protected]:EFTA00111830.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

The transcripts from Jes Staley’s July 24, 2026 interview with the House Oversight Committee revealed just how deep and personal his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein became, while also exposing contradictions in the way Staley had described that relationship publicly. Staley acknowledged visiting Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse dozens of times, traveling to Little St. James on multiple occasions and exchanging roughly 1,200 communications with Epstein between 2008 and 2012. He admitted that he had shared confidential and potentially market-sensitive JPMorgan information with Epstein, including details about the bank’s business, client relationships, pending transactions and even communications involving the Federal Reserve during the 2008 financial crisis. Staley also told investigators that he had discussed his own compensation with Epstein and sought his advice, despite previously portraying Epstein as having little or no connection to his professional life after the 2008 conviction. He further acknowledged having a sexual encounter with one of Epstein’s assistants after meeting her through Epstein, while insisting that Epstein did not arrange it and that he had no knowledge that the woman had later accused Epstein of abuse.The committee also pressed Staley on some of the strangest and most troubling material in his correspondence with Epstein, including the notorious “Snow White” emails and other references to Disney characters. Staley denied having sex with a woman dressed as Snow White and said he could not explain the meaning of some of the messages, even when investigators confronted him with contemporaneous emails and photographs. He maintained that he did not know Epstein was continuing to abuse girls after his 2008 conviction, calling that revelation “incredible,” yet the transcripts also showed that Staley personally argued for JPMorgan to keep Epstein as a client even as internal concerns about Epstein’s cash withdrawals and potential trafficking activity were mounting. Staley also said he had spoken with Jamie Dimon about Epstein, something Dimon and JPMorgan have disputed. Taken together, the testimony painted a picture of a relationship that was far closer, more intertwined with Staley’s professional life and more difficult to reconcile with his earlier descriptions than he had previously acknowledged.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

A Utah judge is set to decide whether prosecutors have presented enough evidence to send Tyler Robinson to trial for the aggravated murder of Charlie Kirk, a charge that could make Robinson eligible for the death penalty. The decision follows an unusually lengthy preliminary hearing in which prosecutors spent five days laying out what they described as overwhelming evidence tying Robinson to the September 2025 shooting at Utah Valley University. Robinson, who turned himself in the day after the killing, has not yet entered a plea. His attorneys have largely avoided presenting an alternative theory of the shooting and have instead focused on challenging whether the state has enough evidence to support the aggravated murder charge and whether the death penalty should remain on the table. Judge Tony Graf could order Robinson to stand trial on aggravated murder, reduce the case to a lesser murder charge, or dismiss the charges, though prosecutors could potentially refile them.A major issue is whether the shooting endangered people other than Kirk, which is critical to the aggravated murder allegation. Prosecutors argue that numerous people were inside a "zone of danger" when the shot was fired from a rooftop more than 400 feet away, while the defense contends the shooter struck the intended target and did not place others in sufficient danger to justify the enhanced charge. Prosecutors have also pointed to DNA they say connected Robinson to the suspected murder weapon, an engraved cartridge they characterize as politically motivated, alleged writings and messages attributed to Robinson, and statements from his romantic partner, Lance Twiggs. Investigators also say Robinson posted in an online chat room shortly before surrendering that he was responsible for what happened at UVU. The defense has challenged the reliability of some of the DNA evidence and disputes whether prosecutors can establish the political motivation necessary for additional sentencing enhancements, leaving Graf’s ruling as the next major turning point in determining whether the case proceeds toward a capital murder trial.to contact me:[email protected]:Judge to decide if Charlie Kirk murder case will go to trial | AP NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
