Epstein Case Red Flags

This is the latest In Fact. Click the left arrow for earlier ones.

Here are 21 explosive facts about the Jeffrey Epstein case that have received scant attention:

  1. Bill Clinton claims that he “never visited” Epstein’s private island, but at least three people have stated that they saw Clinton on the island, including Virginia Giuffre (one of Epstein’s victims), Steve Scully (a worker on the island), and Doug Band (Clinton’s right-hand man during his post-presidency). Furthermore, White House visitor logs show that Epstein visited the Clinton White House at least 17 times while bringing at least eight different women with him.
  2. Maria Farmer, who reported Jeffrey Epstein and his associates to the FBI for molesting children 3 decades ago, told CBS News that Epstein’s mansion in New York was loaded with hidden cameras. Describing a surveillance room with a large number of monitors, she said, “I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, bed, bed, toilet, bed.” She then asked Epstein “What do you do with this?” he replied, “I keep it. I keep everything in my safe.”
  3. Two days after Epstein’s arrest in 2019, the DOJ sent a letter to a federal judge stating that a search of Epstein’s New York residence on the night of his arrest found “compact discs” in “a locked safe” with “hand-written labels” like “Girl pics nude” and “Young [Name] + [Name].”
  4. An FBI agent testified at Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial that the FBI abandoned the contents of Epstein’s New York safe and left his home unguarded. When the FBI came back four days later, the contents of the safe were gone. This breach, which a veteran police detective described as violative of “basic protocols” and “unprecedented in my experience,” allowed one of Epstein’s most notorious accomplices to take and potentially scrub the evidence before handing it over to the feds.
  5. Seven months after Epstein’s death, DOJ employees sent internal emails revealing that the search of Epstein’s New York mansion uncovered “approximately 40 devices that would have storage (computers, hard drives, thumb drives, etc.) and that’s not even counting at least 60+ CDs.” The emails also stated, “Notwithstanding their many promises to us about quick and effective processing of the 60+ devices they seized, the FBI is completely f*cking us on this.”
  6. When the DOJ asked the FBI in 2025 for the “full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein,” the FBI withheld “thousands of pages of documents” and failed to disclose the “existence of these files.”
  7. After the FBI arrested Epstein, federal prison officials placed him in a cell with a murderous, hulking ex-cop, which is a death trap for any child molester because they are frequently targeted by violent inmates. The cellmate, named Nicholas Tartaglione, was eventually convicted of torturing and strangling a man to death with a zip tie while making his nephew watch. He then took the nephew, another nephew, and a family friend of the man he murdered to a “remote wooded location, forced them to kneel, and executed them with gunshots to the back of the head.”
  8. Less than two weeks after Epstein was placed in a cell with Tartaglione, prison guards found Epstein in the middle of the night in a semiconscious state with a rope and “friction marks” around his neck.
  9. Despite a court order requiring the prison to preserve video surveillance footage near Epstein’s cell during the strangulation, federal prison officials failed to do so and also lost the backup due to “technical errors.”
  10. Federal prison officials took Epstein off “suicide watch” just one day after the strangulation without determining whether Epstein was attacked by his cellmate or tried to commit suicide.
  11. One day before Epstein’s death, federal prison officials removed his new cellmate and didn’t replace him. They did this even though a prison psychologist sent an email to over 70 prison staffers stating that Epstein “needs” a cellmate — a common suicide prevention measure.
  12. While describing Jeffery Epstein as “arguably” one of the “most notorious” federal inmates, the DOJ Inspector General wrote that the U.S. Bureau of Prisons “provided” him “with the opportunity to take his own life.”
  13. One day before Epstein’s death, a federal court unsealed more than 2,000 pages of lawsuit records that named and implicated wealthy and powerful people in Epstein’s child sex crimes, as well as federal officials in covering up the crimes. Among the named people were Palm Beach billionaire Glenn Dubin and his wife Eva Andersson-Dubin, Britain’s Prince Andrew, Bill Clinton, former Democratic Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell, former DNC Chairman Bill Richardson, artificial intelligence pioneer Marvin Minsky, and modeling agent Jean-Luc Brunel — who was later arrested in France for sex trafficking and allegedly died of suicide in a high-security prison.
  14. One day before Epstein’s death, federal prison officials permitted Epstein to make a completely unmonitored phone call in direct violation of prison policy under the patently false pretense that he was calling his mother, who had died 15 years earlier.
  15. Federal officers placed a hoard of linens in Epstein’s cell, which is commonly prohibited because they can be used to create nooses.
  16. Federal officers left Epstein alone in his cell for nearly eight hours on the night he died — despite the fact that they were required to check on all inmates in his unit “at least twice per hour” and were only 15 feet from Epstein’s cell.
  17. Federal officers falsified records to show that they had checked on Epstein, a violation of federal law punishable by up to five years in prison.
  18. Federal prosecutors “dismissed all charges pending against” the two officers who falsified the records and “declined” to prosecute others who “falsely certified inmate countslips and round sheets on the day before and the day of Epstein’s death.”
  19. Federal prison officials failed to record footage from 9 of the 11 surveillance cameras around Epstein’s cell on the night of his death, including one that showed Epstein’s cell tier and cell door.
  20. Contrary to multiple federal officials who claimed that footage from one of the working cameras proves that no one entered Epstein’s cell tier on the night of his death, forensic experts who reviewed the footage told CBS News that “there was no way to conclusively determine from the video whether an unseen visitor was or was not let into the Epstein unit.”
  21. The FBI and DOJ state that “Epstein harmed over one thousand victims” but have provided no explanation of how he could have done all that with only one accomplice who has been prosecuted for these crimes (Ghislaine Maxwell).

All of these facts accord with the contention that others were complicit in the sex crimes and death of Jeffrey Epstein but have not been held accountable.
