A letter sent to the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) today from a bipartisan group of senators requests a review of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) handling and release of documents related to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. The letter outlines concerns about redactions in the millions of released files and seeks clarity about how the information was reviewed.

Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM) and Dick Durbin (D-IL) signed the letter, which argues the DOJ failed to comply with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The law allows victims’ identities and information to be redacted but does not allow redactions based on embarrassment, reputational harm or political sensitivity.

“Contrary to Congress’s explicit directive to protect victims, these records included email addresses and nude photos in which the names and faces of publicly-identified and non-public victims could be identified,” wrote the senators. “But when it came to information identifying powerful business and politics figures who are alleged co-conspirators or material witnesses, DOJ appears to have heavily redacted those records.”

The review request comes a week after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi as part of its ongoing investigation into Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

“There’s over 65,000 documents missing, and we know there are more than 2,000 videos that are out there,” said Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) who introduced the resolution to subpoena Bondi. “They’re not giving Congress all the information or all the documents, and they’re obfuscating. And I’d like to ask questions about that in our deposition.”

Where Are Epstein’s Financial Records?

What’s also missing from the Epstein files are the convicted sex trafficker’s bank records. The U.S. Treasury Department holds an extensive number of financial records, which will undoubtedly provide a road map of his criminal network and activity. The records could help reveal co-conspirators, enablers and unprosecuted financial crimes.

Earlier this month, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), ranking member of the Finance Committee, attempted to pass the Produce Epstein Treasury Records Act, which would compel the Treasury Department to turn over Epstein-related bank records to Congressional investigators. Republicans blocked the proposal.

Last year, Wyden requested the records several times but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has repeatedly refused to turn them over, downplaying their significance.

According to a recorded Senate statement from July of 2025, the Biden administration allowed investigators to look at portions of the files in 2024 in the Treasury Building. They found that, “Treasury’s Epstein file details 4,725 wire transfers — adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. Hundreds of millions more flowed through other accounts.” The statement added, “The file shows that Mr. Epstein used multiple Russian banks, which are now under sanctions, to process payments related to sex trafficking. A lot of the women and girls he targeted came from Russia, Belarus, Turkiye, and elsewhere.”

It’s worth it to note that the Trump administration has just announced it is easing restrictions on Russian oil exports as the war with Iran creates a global energy crisis. Scott Bessent, who has downplayed the significance of Epstein’s financial dealings, last week issued a 30-day waiver for India to buy Russian oil already at sea.

“We have sanctions on some countries, we are going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out,” said Trump when questioned about the sanctions. “And then who knows, maybe we won’t have to put them on because there will be so much peace.”

Amy Robach

In 2019, ABC News anchor Amy Robach was caught on a hot mic complaining that the network “quashed” her interview with key Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre, who was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell for two years. “I’ve had the story for three years,” said Robach in the video. “We would not put it on the air. Um, first of all, I was told, ‘Who was Jeffrey Epstein? No one knows who that is. This is a stupid story.’ Then the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a million different ways.”

“I tried for three years to get it out to no avail, and now these new revelations and — I freaking had all of it,” said Robach in the video. “I’m so pissed right now. Like, every day I get more and more pissed, ’cause I’m just like, Oh my God! It was — what we had, was unreal.”

Alan Dershowitz, Epstein’s longtime friend and attorney during his first arrest, supporter of Hillary Clinton and a member of Trump’s legal team during his 2020 impeachment trial, was mentioned in Giuffre’s interview. Dershowitz told NPR that he had called ABC News in 2015 just before the interview was supposed to have been broadcast to dissuade the network from airing Giuffre’s allegations. He said he had mainly called to warn ABC against giving Giuffre a platform. “I did not want to see her credibility enhanced by ABC,” Dershowitz told NPR.

Julie K. Brown

In 2017, Julie K. Brown, a reporter for the Miami Herald, began investigating Epstein. She uncovered 80 potential victims, some of whom were 13 and 14 years old when they were trafficked. She documented eight individuals through a series of reports published in November of 2018.

Brown also extensively covered the secret deal Epstein made with federal attorney Alex Acosta, who would later become U.S. Secretary of Labor during President Trump’s first term. Through a 2008 plea deal with Acosta, Epstein was allowed to plead guilty to only two state-level prostitution offenses. His federal charges disappeared and an FBI probe linking Epstein to dozens of victims was shut down. The deal also granted immunity to any possible co-conspirators.

Epstein’s plea deal came under fire after his 2019 arrest, and amid bipartisan criticism, Acosta resigned as Secretary of State.

Dershowitz wrote an open letter to the Pulitzer Prize committee in 2019, urging them to shut out Brown and the Miami Herald for the “fake news” reporting on the Epstein case. Brown didn’t receive the award.

She later said she had been warned by former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter to expect pushback for her reporting, as other members of the media who had attempted to report on Epstein received. Reiter had said, “Somebody’s going to call your publisher and the next thing you know you are going to be assigned to the obituaries department.”

It wasn’t an idle warning. The Epstein Files reveal that in 2011, Epstein asked private detective William Riley of Riley Kiraly to get information about a Miami reporter and “her boyfriend.” Riley sent Epstein a full report on the target, all redacted in the U.S. Department of Justice’s published files.

Brown herself revealed late last year that the DOJ was monitoring her, as information about a 2019 flight booking is included in the Epstein files. Brown said she expected to see her name in the files because of her extensive reporting on Epstein. “What I didn’t expect to see was an American Airlines flight record from 2019 with my full name on them, including my maiden name, which I don’t use professionally. It’s an unusual name, so it’s clear it’s me.”

“Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)?” she asked on X.

Lucia Osborne-Crowley 

Shortly after journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley met with Epstein and Maxwell victim Carolyn Andriano in 2022, she was approached in a restaurant by a private detective who asked what she was writing about. She said the man offered her drugs, cash and a meeting with one of Epstein’s pilots, then put his hands under her skirt. The restaurant manager asked him to leave and he then waited outside for her, forcing Osborne-Crowley to sneak out through a staff exit.

Andriano, who was trafficked between the ages of 14 and 17, was a key witness in Maxwell’s 2021 trial. Osborne-Crowley had been interviewing survivors for her book on the trial, “The Lasting Harm,” published in 2024. She wondered who was paying the private detective and other people following her and victims who had come forward.

“It could be any of the people who are not yet facing charges,” Osborne-Crowley told The Guardian. “Firstly, they can afford it. The weekend I was in Miami, there was a person following me, a person following a survivor in South Africa who was in my book, and a person following a survivor in the UK. Just so that we all were aware.”

Two women withdrew from “The Lasting Harm” after receiving threats. In November of 2025, 28 victims released a statement alleging many of them had received death threats and asking for police protection. “Ghislaine used to tell them, ‘If you ever tell anyone what’s going on here, no matter how far into the future, we will find you and we will stop you,'” said Osborne-Crowley. “And in a lot of ways, that promise was kept.”

Conchita Sarnoff

Investigative journalist Conchita Sarnoff was in a unique position when she began investigating sex trafficking. Her former husband is the grandson of Brigadier General David Sarnoff, the founder of NBC who also oversaw the construction of Radio Free Europe during World War II. Those connections brought her into the same social orbit as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, whom she met in the 1990s. 

When Epstein was arrested in 2008 in Palm Beach, Sarnoff phoned him and then interviewed him at home while he was under house arrest.

“Because I had a social relationship with Epstein and Maxwell, I knew who they were, who their friends were, and more or less how they thought,” said Sarnoff. “This allowed me to expand my investigation.” That reporting turned into a book, “TrafficKing: The Jeffrey Epstein Case,” which Sarnoff completed in 2008.

Twenty-seven publishers turned her down after reading it. She said multiple media outlets scheduled her to discuss the book and her investigation but then rescinded the invitations without explanation.

The book became widely available in 2021, and discusses how Sarnoff risked her life to expose the reality of human trafficking despite bribes to stay silent. It includes witness accounts of Epstein, Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Sarnoff is now executive director of the Alliance to Rescue Victims of Trafficking.

Savannah Guthrie

In 2019, Today Show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie interviewed six Epstein/Maxwell victims, including Virginia Giuffre. It was the first television appearance for Giuffre and aired on the NBC’s Today Show and Dateline. The survivors shared their experiences of grooming and abuse, and the Dateline special focused on the failures of the U.S. justice system to protect victims.

The high-profile disappearance of Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has dominated headlines recently. Guthrie was last seen on January 31, one day after the U.S. DOJ released 3.5 million additional pages of the Epstein files. Nancy Guthrie remains missing and law enforcement has found no ties between her disappearance and her daughter’s reporting.

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump hold hands

Russia is preparing to make a lot of oil and gas money as conflict in the Middle East threatens the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategic shipping chokepoints. “We are seeing an increase in demand, a substantive increase in demand for Russian energy providers in connection with the war in Iran,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitri S. Peskov said during a Friday briefing.

The boon for the Russian economy during the country’s prolonged war with Ukraine is one of the many interesting consequences of President Donald Trump’s longstanding relationship with Russia and President Vladimir Putin. In a 45-minute speech to a largely empty chamber this week, U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) outlined Trump’s and his administration’s numerous entanglements with Russia.

He began by mentioning former FBI Director Robert Mueller’s 2019 special report on Russian election interference related to Trump’s first presidential term. Attorney General Bill Barr issued a letter ahead of the report’s release which said the investigation found the Trump campaign did not collude to steal the 2016 election. Trump then referred to the entire investigation as a “Russian hoax.”

By the time Mueller’s report was released a month later, its message had been obscured. “The Mueller report actually concluded that the Trump campaign knew of and welcomed Russian interference and expected to benefit from it,” said Whitehouse. “That conclusion was later echoed and reinforced by an investigation led by then Chairman Marco Rubio’s Senate Intelligence Committee, a bipartisan report.” Rubio is now serving as U.S. Secretary of State.

Whitehouse outlined 10 ways the Trump administration has helped Russia recently, including pausing weapons shipments to Ukraine during key moments in the war with Russia. In July, during Russia’s worst bombing campaign up to that point, Trump paused already funded shipments of Patriot interceptors, designed to protect Ukrainian citizens.

“That same month, Trump’s Treasury Department stopped imposing new sanctions and closing sanctions loopholes, effectively allowing dummy corporations to send funds, ships and military equipment to Russia,” said Whitehouse.

He said leaked phone calls between U.S. real estate investor and Russian envoy Steve Witkoff and Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev reveal they have worked closely behind the scenes on a Ukrainian peace deal that would benefit Russia. He mentioned that soon after Pam Bondi was appointed Attorney General, the U.S. Department of Justice shut down its anti-kleptocracy initiatives, which were focused on seizing assets from corrupt foreign officials and Russian oligarchs.

Finally, Whitehouse accused the Trump administration of paving the way for Russia’s return to global sports competitions, even with knowledge of the country’s state-backed systemic doping programs.

“If Trump were purposefully doing Russia’s bidding, it’s hard to see what he’d be doing differently,” said Whitehouse.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Role

Whitehouse discussed the impact of the Epstein files and how they reveal the breadth of Epstein’s global network, which repeatedly touched Russia. Trump has called the files a “Russian hoax.”

“Epstein’s ties to foreign intelligence may never be fully known,” said Whitehouse. “It’s a murky world. He had links to officials in the United States, Russian and Israeli governments and many others.”

Epstein began his career as a high school math teacher at the elite Dalton School in Manhattan. The outgoing headmaster at the school when he was hired was Donald Barr, a former intelligence officer and Bill Barr’s father. He eventually moved on to work with British defense contractor and arms dealer Doug Leese. It was Leese who allegedly introduced Epstein to Robert Maxwell, father of his eventual girlfriend and partner Ghislaine Maxwell. Robert Maxwell had complex, shifting ties to British, Soviet and Israeli intelligence. He was initially bankrolled by Britain’s MI6 but also accepted payments from the KGB.

In a 2021 article for Rolling Stone, journalist Vicky Ward spoke to convicted fraudster Steven Hoffenberg about his relationship with Epstein. She said Hoffenberg told her that via Maxwell and Leese, Epstein was involved in something that Hoffenberg described as “national security issues.” He told Ward that this involved blackmail, influence trading and trading information at a level that is very serious and dangerous.

“Four separate sources told me on the record that Epstein’s dealings in the arms world in the 1980s had led him to work for multiple governments, including the Israelis,” wrote Ward.

It was during the 1980s that Trump and Epstein began their friendship. “They shared everything,” said author Michael Wolff, who interviewed Epstein extensively about his relationship with Trump. “They shared their airplanes. They shared women between them. They constantly shared business and financial advice.”

As Trump now infamously said in 2002, “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

Trump and Epstein publicly fell out shortly after that. While the full story of their breakup is unknown, it was at least in part due to a 2004 bidding war for a Palm Beach mansion. Trump eventually won, purchasing the property for $41.3 million. Four years later, after modest renovations, he turned around and sold it for $95 million to billionaire Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev. At the time it was reported to be the most expensive residential property sale in U.S. history.

The oligarch never moved in.

Epstein had a well-documented history of ties to Russia, including the Russian and Eastern European models he trafficked through his global drug and sex ring. A 2017 FBI report claims Epstein was Putin’s “wealth manager.” He also claimed to have given some insight on Trump to the Russians, meeting many times with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s UN representative from 2006 until his death in 2017.

In a 2018 email to former Norwegian prime minister Thorbjørn Jagland, who was charged with corruption last month for his ties to the disgraced pedophile, Epstein wrote, “Churkin was great. He understood Trump after our conversations. It is not complex. He must be seen to get something. It’s that simple.”

New DOJ documents reveal a five-year Drug Enforcement Administration investigation into Jeffrey Epstein based on allegations of money laundering, drug trafficking and the procurement of Eastern European prostitutes for high-profile clients. The investigation was conducted by a secret intelligence and law enforcement unit of the DEA along with a transnational crime-fighting task force.

The investigation began after an informant claimed Epstein was involved in the illicit funding and distribution of ketamine, ecstasy, methamphetamines and other “club drugs.” It includes the names of Epstein’s accountants, attorneys and European women who worked as his assistants or as fashion models. None of the individuals were charged with any offenses as a result of the investigation. 

In 2011, the DEA enlisted the help of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF), a Reagan-era DOJ division, to investigate the proliferation of drug trafficking in night clubs. OCDETF then launched Operation Chain Reaction and spent the next four years targeting and prosecuting close to a dozen people in New York, including members of the Genovese crime family. Charges included racketeering, loan sharking, drug trafficking and running illegal gambling businesses. One of the informants in that case tipped off authorities about Epstein’s involvement.

The OCDETF was shut down by President Trump’s administration last September as part of their cost-cutting efforts. But the organization was able to amass a huge amount of intelligence and financial data on Epstein and his associates during its investigation, pulling information from seven federal agencies along with the FBI’s National Crime Information Center.

The heavily redacted DOJ document shows that Epstein and 12 other individuals were the subjects of 40 suspicious activity reports involving the movement of nearly $50 million. More than a dozen law enforcement agencies in the US and abroad, including the U.S. Secret Service and its White House Division, ICE and Harvard’s police department queried a national crime database 311 times between 2013 and 2015 seeking information about Epstein.

In April of 2019, a few months before Epstein’s final arrest, the OCDETF launched a separate investigation with the FBI known as Trip Knot. It centered on money laundering and human and drug trafficking tied to Russian organized crime and drew on FBI and DEA probes from 2017 and 2018. Epstein’s name turned up repeatedly in that case as well.

Operation Chain Reaction was officially closed in June of 2023 under the Biden Administration.

A growing memorial to Jeffrey Epstein’s victims at the gates of Zorro Ranch

New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez reopened an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous Zorro Ranch last month, more than six years after U.S. federal prosecutors shut it down. The decision was made after Torrez’s office reviewed U.S. Department of Justice information and found that “revelations outlined in the previously sealed FBI files warrant further examination.”

In July of 2019, NM Attorney General Hector Balderas announced an investigation into Epstein’s 7,600-acre ranch located 30 miles south of Santa Fe. The announcement came a week after Epstein was arrested in New York and charged with federal sex trafficking. Balderas said his office had interviewed possible Epstein victims who had visited Zorro Ranch and that he had been in touch with the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York.

Federal prosecutors then asked Balderas to halt his office’s investigation into the ranch, which it did. Balderas said New Mexico provided police reports, recorded witness interviews and other investigative records to federal prosecutors in New York. His agency was told prosecutors didn’t want the “risks of parallel investigations creating inconsistent statements” that could potentially be exploited by defense attorneys.

At the time, Balderas said he understood N.Y. prosecutors would share relevant information with his office but frustratingly, cooperation between the two agencies “was a one-way relationship.” “We provided information to them to strengthen their prosecution,” said Balderas. “They were making the representation that they were going to prosecute with a multijurisdictional, multistate focus.”

The New Mexico investigative documents do not appear to be among the Epstein files released by the U.S. Department of Justice. “In light of the recent disclosures, I remain very concerned that they did not disclose or share more information that they had in their possession,” said Balderas of federal investigators, calling prosecutors’ unwillingness to work with state investigators “a tactical mistake.”

In 2020, Balderas’ office also sent a letter to federal prosecutors urging them to seize control of Zorro Ranch to preserve evidence, offering to assist with serving search warrants at the ranch. “We believe that this ranch was used by Epstein and others to facilitate the commission and prolonged concealment of his trafficking of children, such that seizure may be pursued in conjunction with the pending criminal prosecution of Epstein’s associates and co-conspirators,” stated the letter. Balderas said he never received a response and has no reason to believe prosecutors acted on the requests.

Current NM Attorney General Torrez has not received any correspondence from N.Y. federal prosecutors since he took office in January of 2023. That year Epstein’s estate sold the ranch to real estate mogul and current Texas Comptroller candidate Don Huffines for an undisclosed sum.

Zorro Ranch was valued at more than $21 million in 2023, according to Santa Fe County, but Huffines’ San Rafael Ranch LLC, the owner of record, filed a complaint in 2024 arguing for a tax reduction and alleging the property was only worth $9 million. The Santa Fe County Assessor reduced its value to $13.4 million later that year.

The ranch appears thousands of times in the Epstein files and was used to host an elite class of guests including former NM Governor Bill Richardson, Andrew Montbatten-Windsor, Woody Allen, Robert Redford, Reid Hoffman, Joi Ito and Peter Thiel.

In addition to the alleged sex trafficking horrors and eugenics and DNA experiments that took place at the ranch, the Epstein files also reveal that the dead pedophile had petroglyphs moved from areas of the property to the yard surrounding his nearly 30,000-square-foot mansion. The petroglyphs, estimated to be hundreds of years old, are part of a geological formation known as El Creston located on the ranch property.

“The destruction and removal of petroglyphs and cultural sites at Zorro Ranch is deeply troubling, yet not surprising considering what has come to light about Jeffrey Epstein,” said Joey Sanchez, chair of the All Pueblo Council of Governors. “These sites hold profound significance as part of the living history of the Pueblos across the Southwest, reflecting the enduring connection between our people and the land.”

As House Democrats call for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s impeachment over the handling of the Epstein files, it’s important to look at how and why the investigations have gotten so botched. Geoffrey Berman was the U.S. Attorney for the District of Southern New York who prosecuted Epstein. A Republican, Berman was appointed during President Trump’s first term until he was fired by Trump AG Bill Barr in 2020. He was replaced by his deputy, Audrey Strauss, who served into the Biden administration until 2021.

Strauss led the investigation and prosecution of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell. Damian Williams then took over the position under Biden’s administration, followed by a series of acting directors. Trump appointed Jay Clayton to the position in April of 2025.

It would appear that not one of those federal prosecutors pursued the state of New Mexico’s evidence and reports related to Epstein and Zorro Ranch. Just as bi-partisan U.S. Attorney Generals and FBI directors have also failed to investigate what increasingly appears to be a massive global political coverup of organized crime, money laundering and drug and human trafficking.

The Manhattan apartments where Epstein and Lutnick resided for more than 2 decades

When U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was questioned at a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing earlier this month, the focus was on his personal relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Lutnick walked back statements he had previously made and revealed he and his family had visited Epstein on his private island.

But the Epstein files contain much more damaging information about Lutnick, who was Epstein’s New York City next door neighbor for more than 20 years. Les Wexner, the billionaire behind Victoria’s Secret and Abercrombie & Fitch, originally owned both buildings. Wexner has recently come under scrutiny for his decades-long business dealings with Epstein.

Lutnick also had a long-time business relationship with Epstein, including an investment contract signed in 2012 for a digital ad company called AdFin Solutions. Lutnick signed on behalf of an LLC controlled by investment firm Cantor Fitzgerald, where he served as CEO. The deal was made five days after Lutnick and his family visited Epstein on his private island.

Perhaps the most damning allegations against Lutnick are contained in an FBI whistleblower complaint dated 04/23/2021. Titled “Alleged Money Laundering by Howard Lutnick via BGC Financial and Cantor Fitzgerald,” the complaint alleges “fraud, money laundering, Ponzi schemes and regulatory breaches by [redacted] and CF.” Lutnick was chairman and CEO of financial services company BGC, a spinoff of Cantor Fitzgerald, until he was appointed Donald Trump’s Commerce Secretary.

The FBI complaint also links Lutnick to illegal activities with JP Morgan, Russian hedge funds and other senior finance executives. Jes Staley, former CEO of JP Morgan, resigned as CEO of Barclays in 2021 after a U.K. regulatory investigation about his relationship with Epstein. He was subsequently banned from the U.K. financial sector for misrepresenting his relationship with the convicted pedophile.

“[Redacted] has documented proof showing money laundering and Ponzi schemes by Lutnick via offshore shell companies, liquid funding, and real estate brokerage firms,” states the FBI complaint. “[Redacted] believes he has supporting documents which could link Lutnick to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell and Sarah Ferguson, a royal family member, host events called La Dolce Vita Parties, where high profile celebrities and executives contribute large donations to attend. The donations are linked to causes involving children. Lutnick made ‘huge donations’ to these events.”

An earlier FBI interview with presumably the same whistleblower offers more insight about the money laundering, speculating it was from the Russian Mafia. It also alleges “Lutnick gave Sarah Ferguson office space above Cantor Fitzgerald in New York for the Children in Crisis (CIC) charity. Ghislaine Maxwell and Ferguson would attend Dolce Vita Parties which raised money for CIC and Stowe School. CIC no longer existed.”

Children in Crisis merged with another organization in 2018. Stowe School is an elite British private boarding school whose alumni include Richard Branson (a prominent figure in the Epstein files), the actor Henry Cavill, Prince Rainier III of Monaco, along with dozens of well-known British royals, politicians, entertainers, journalists and athletes.
