The Epstein files were never sitting in one neat box waiting to be opened. They were scattered across years of court cases, law-enforcement investigations, civil lawsuits, sealed filings, grand jury materials, prison records, congressional productions, and federal agency archives. Some of the most important records came through the courts: the Palm Beach criminal case, the federal non-prosecution agreement litigation, Virginia Giuffre's civil case against Ghislaine Maxwell, survivor lawsuits against Epstein's estate, litigation against banks like JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank, and other dockets where depositions, exhibits, emails, flight logs, address books, settlement records, and sworn testimony surfaced piece by piece. That is why the public record grew in fragments: one batch from a lawsuit, another from a judge unsealing documents, another from discovery, another from congressional subpoenas, and another from media fights over access.The FBI and DOJ held another major universe of Epstein material: interview reports, search-warrant returns, victim statements, photographs, videos, seized electronics, financial records, investigative notes, jail records, and internal communications connected to both the original Florida investigation and the later SDNY case. Congress then became another repository as the House Oversight Committee sought unredacted files, transcripts, agency productions, and testimony from people connected to Epstein's staff, legal team, financial network, and incarceration. So when people say “the Epstein files,” they are really talking about a sprawling archive spread across courts, the FBI, the DOJ, the Bureau of Prisons, congressional investigators, civil litigants, banks, estates, and private parties. That scattered structure matters because it makes full accountability harder: no single release tells the whole story, no single agency controls everything, and every redaction, sealed docket, privilege claim, or missing exhibit leaves another gap in a record that was already deliberately fragmented.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Welcome to Last Call, a look at the biggest stories Jim and Greg covered over the past week on the 3 Martini Lunch.This week they discuss Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico's reversal on transgender surgeries for minors, a congressional report showing Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Social Security running dry by 2032, and the Congressional Baseball Game.First, Jim and Greg examine the hypocrisy of James Talarico, who now suddenly opposes gender reassignment surgery for minors. In 2023, he argued against a bill that would ban “medical and surgical procedures” for minors with gender dysphoria. They also address recent reports that Talarico dated two of his staffers.Next, they review a House Oversight Committee report that alleges Gov. Walz and his administration ignored repeated warnings from whistleblowers about massive fraud and, in some cases, retaliated against those who raised concerns. Next, they cover the looming threat of the Social Security trust fund running dry by 2032. Despite a national debt of $39 trillion, cuts to entitlements remain deeply unpopular with voters, preventing any political solution. But soon politicians will not have a choice.Finally, they highlight Wednesday's Congressional Baseball Game, and how the media rarely mention the 2017 shooting at a GOP practice that nearly killed Rep. Steve Scalise. Please visit our great sponsors:IncogniTake control of your digital footprint today.  Use code 3ML at the link below and get 60% off an annual plan: https://incogni.com/3ML Noble GoldDownload the free investor kit.

The House Oversight Committee is preparing to depose Richard Kahn, Jeffrey Epstein's longtime accountant, as part of its expanding congressional investigation into how Epstein managed and protected his wealth while allegedly operating a years-long sex-trafficking network. Kahn worked for Epstein for more than a decade and helped oversee the financier's complex financial structure, including trusts, shell entities, and other mechanisms that managed Epstein's multimillion-dollar fortune. Lawmakers believe questioning Kahn could provide insight into how Epstein funded his operations, moved money through various accounts, and maintained financial secrecy while facing mounting allegations of abuse. The committee has indicated that Kahn's knowledge of Epstein's financial infrastructure may help clarify whether money flows or financial arrangements enabled or concealed the broader trafficking enterprise.The deposition is part of a broader congressional effort to map Epstein's network of associates, advisers, and financial managers who may have played roles in his personal and business affairs. Kahn, along with Epstein's longtime attorney Darren Indyke, previously served as co-executors of Epstein's estate after his death in 2019 and has faced civil lawsuits from victims alleging they helped facilitate or conceal Epstein's illegal activities, accusations both men deny. A settlement in one of those lawsuits was later reached using funds from Epstein's estate without admissions of wrongdoing. Lawmakers say questioning individuals who handled Epstein's finances is essential to understanding how his wealth was managed, who may have benefited from it, and whether financial professionals helped maintain the structures that allowed Epstein's activities to continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:House Oversight Committee to depose Epstein's longtime accountant - ABC NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Bill Gates arrived on Capitol Hill for a closed-door, transcribed interview with the House Oversight Committee as lawmakers continued digging into Jeffrey Epstein's network, the government's handling of the case, and the powerful figures who remained in Epstein's orbit after his 2008 conviction. Gates told reporters he was there to cooperate and, according to his prepared remarks and subsequent reporting, described his meetings with Epstein as a “grave error in judgment.” He maintained that he never witnessed or participated in Epstein's criminal conduct, never visited Epstein's island, and believed at the time that Epstein might help raise money for global health and philanthropic projects. Gates has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing, but his repeated contact with Epstein after Epstein was already a convicted sex offender has remained a major reputational problem.The most explosive part of the interview was Gates' claim that Epstein tried to use knowledge of Gates' marital infidelities as leverage to keep him close and pressure him into continued contact. Gates framed Epstein as manipulative and said he now regrets giving Epstein credibility by meeting with him at all, while lawmakers focused on why Epstein was able to keep attracting access to billionaires, institutions, and philanthropic circles long after his criminal history was public. The hearing placed Gates inside the broader congressional effort to map Epstein's influence network, including who met with him, who benefited from his access, and how he used proximity to elite figures to rehabilitate himself. In plain terms, Gates tried to present himself as someone Epstein misled and tried to exploit, while Congress used the interview to examine how someone like Epstein kept buying legitimacy through powerful people.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bill Gates arrives on Capitol Hill for closed door Jeffrey Epstein interview

Lesley Groff told Congress that Jeffrey Epstein was a “monster” and a “master manipulator,” but insisted she did not know he was running a sex-trafficking operation while she worked as his longtime executive secretary. In her closed-door interview with the House Oversight Committee, Groff said she believes Epstein's victims, but argued that Epstein hid his crimes from her because he had every reason to keep her in the dark and no leverage over her that would have made her stay silent. She maintained that if she had known girls and young women were being abused through the massage appointments and travel logistics she helped arrange, she would not have ignored it. Groff also said she has faced harassment and death threats since Epstein's 2019 arrest, presenting herself as someone who has been publicly blamed for crimes she claims she neither knew about nor participated in.The problem for Groff is that her denial sits against the scale of her role in Epstein's daily operation. She worked for him for more than 18 years, was described by Epstein as an “extension of my brain,” scheduled his meetings, booked his frequent massages, arranged travel for women connected to him, and was listed as a potential co-conspirator in the 2007 non-prosecution agreement. Federal prosecutors previously said numerous victims identified her as responsible for scheduling massages during which they were abused, and survivor Marina Lacerda has described Groff as a conduit to Epstein, saying anything involving Epstein had to go through her. Groff's testimony, then, amounted to a direct attempt to separate administrative involvement from criminal knowledge: she admitted she helped run the machinery around Epstein, but denied knowing what that machinery was being used for.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Longtime Epstein assistant paints late sex offender as master manipulator and denies knowing about his crimes | CNN Politics

Today's Headlines: Bill Gates testified before the House Oversight Committee that Epstein tried to blackmail him after he tried to distance himself, saying he never went to the island or witnessed criminal conduct — the standard answer at this point — while a New York Times excerpt from an upcoming Haberman/Swan book revealed the White House Situation Room freakout over the Epstein files last July, with JD Vance emerging as a conspiracy theorist who wanted full file release and suggested Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell to clear Trump, while the administration quietly panicked over a specific sex allegation about Trump. On the war beat, the US launched strikes for the second consecutive night, Pete Hegseth announced they would "negotiate with bombs," Iran responded by attacking Bahrain and Kuwait and closing the Strait of Hormuz with a shoot-on-sight policy for any ship attempting to pass — the Dow fell nearly 1,000 points, the Nasdaq closed down 2%, inflation came in at 4.2% the worst in three years driven by energy prices, and Trump said "I love the inflation," which he said out loud. New reporting found at least 500 babies and toddlers in ICE custody during Trump's second term, averaging 25 per day and ten times higher than under Biden. The EU warned Albania that the Kushner Sazan Island resort could jeopardize their EU membership bid, as tens of thousands of Albanians enter their tenth day of protests. The White House launched an official "Media Offenders" page categorizing journalists under headers like "Left-Wing Lunacy" and "Malpractice." And finally, Nancy Mace abandoned her congressional seat to run for South Carolina governor, finished fifth in the primary, and announced she's "headed back to the private sector as the founders intended."

Host Tara delivers a multi-front exposé on government accountability and corruption. First, she targets Senate Majority Leader John Thune for blocking the "Defund the Taliban" bill despite reports of the regime lowering the marriage age to nine and using billions in mineral contracts with China. Next, Tara analyzes an explosive House Oversight Committee report alleging that the Tim Walz administration in Minnesota used police state tactics—including tracking phones and photographing children—to terrorize whistleblowers like Faye Bernstein over a $9 billion welfare fraud scandal. Finally, she breaks down the high-stakes battle over FISA surveillance renewals and hidden details from the Thomas Crooks investigation. > John Thune, Defund the Taliban bill, Minnesota fraud scandal, Tim Walz, whistleblower surveillance, Faye Bernstein testimony, FISA warrant debate, Thomas Crooks investigation, independent political commentary

The Tara Show: The Minnesota Police State — Whistleblower Terror and Tim Walz's $9 Billion Fraud Crisis Host Tara reacts to a explosive House Oversight Committee report exposing systemic fraud and shocking state-level intimidation tactics in Minnesota. With Vice President JD Vance making a formal criminal referral to the Department of Justice, the report highlights the testimony of nearly 30 whistleblowers, including 20-year state employee Fay Bernstein, who faced severe workplace retaliation after raising red flags over billions in fraudulent spending. Tara breaks down the chilling allegations that state Department of Human Services (DHS) investigators actively monitored whistleblowers, photographed their homes, and targeted their children to protect a massive financial fraud machine. > Minnesota fraud scandal, Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, whistleblower intimidation, House Oversight Committee, JD Vance DOJ referral, Department of Human Services, political corruption, police state tactics

Bill Gates has some big regrets when it comes to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Yesterday, Gates testified to the House Oversight Committee about his past ties to Epstein. In a closed-door hearing, Gates said Epstein attempted to leverage information about Gates's extramarital affairs “to pressure me to re-engage with him” after Gates had begun to cut ties. Gates said he regretted meeting with Epstein, but had never seen Epstein commit criminal conduct, and denied victimizing anyone. He acknowledged the meetings were a “grave error in judgment” that risked his reputation and his philanthropic work. Meanwhile, Epstein‘s longtime former personal assistant is reportedly giving Congress some names of people connected to Epstein. This comes as the House Oversight Committee Chair is reportedly working to bring acting AG Todd, Blanche in to testify. We welcome former federal prosecutor, and now defense attorney, David Katz to talk about the new revelations and whether there may be any legal fallout. We are excited to talk politics with Russ Baker. He is the founder of news organization whowhatwhy.org Then, we'll find out what's new to sip and wear at Coachellavalleycoffee.com as Roastmaster General Cliff Young stops by the show.

Former Metropolitan Correctional Center officer Tova Noel told the House Oversight Committee that her life has been upended by years of threats, harassment, and conspiracy theories tying her to Jeffrey Epstein's death. She denied playing any role in Epstein's death or any cover-up, saying she has been accused of being a murderer, threatened by strangers, and followed by rumors that have damaged her health, career, and personal life. Noel acknowledged that she was one of the officers on duty the night Epstein died and that she failed to properly perform required rounds and counts, but she framed that failure as part of the broader dysfunction inside the MCC rather than evidence of a plot. She blamed understaffing, poor training, bad communication from management, and what she called the “MCC Way” for the breakdowns that occurred that night.Noel also rejected specific suspicions that have followed her, including claims that she was the orange-colored figure seen on surveillance near Epstein's cell or that she had anything to do with a mysterious payment connected to access to Epstein. She said she did not return to Epstein's tier that night, did not carry or distribute anything orange in the Special Housing Unit, and had no knowledge of who the figure was. Her testimony still leaves the larger questions around Epstein's death alive because she admitted the basic institutional failures: Epstein was not checked as required, records were falsified, and the jail's security practices broke down around one of the most high-profile detainees in federal custody. In other words, Noel's testimony was an attempt to separate incompetence and institutional rot from murder or conspiracy, while critics continue to point to the same gaps—failed cameras, missed rounds, falsified logs, and unexplained footage—as the reason the official story has never satisfied the public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

While Gates maintained that he never witnessed criminal conduct or visited Epstein's private island, ranch, or Florida estate, newly unsealed emails reveal a complicated web of philanthropic meetings and uncorroborated allegations of blackmail and extortion.

Today's Headlines: Iran shot down a US Army helicopter yesterday, the US responded with strikes on Iranian air defense systems, both crew members are stable, and stock futures dropped immediately — so the ceasefire is going great. Meanwhile, the World Cup starts tomorrow and the Trump administration is already making it a disaster: the best male referee in Africa was denied entry despite a valid visa, the Iraqi team's vice captain was detained for seven hours at O'Hare, the team photographer was turned away entirely, and Trump is preemptively blaming Europe for any Ebola outbreaks despite zero confirmed cases there. Meanwhile, the House voted to give ICE and Border Patrol $70 billion more for immigration enforcement — $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Border Patrol, and a breezy $5 billion for "unforeseen costs." Anthropic's cofounder published a blog post asking leading AI labs to consider pausing frontier AI development, comparing it to nuclear nonproliferation — the response was a collective "no," with some calling it self-serving given everyone's upcoming IPOs — and this comes as Anthropic is reportedly preparing to release Claude Fable 5, a model it deemed too dangerous for public release just six months ago. Epstein assistant Lesley Groff testified before the House Oversight Committee claiming she "never saw anything improper" after two decades of keeping Epstein's entire schedule, which the committee found highly inconsistent. Tom Steyer conceded the California governor's race, Trump kept pushing election fraud conspiracies about California to the point that a congressman reported a friend canceling their voter registration over Spencer Pratt, and Ken Paxton's own former impeachment attorney endorsed Democrat James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, saying Paxton is too focused on appeasing Trump to be a good senator. And finally, NASA announced the Artemis III crew of four astronauts who will orbit Earth practicing lunar lander docking in preparation for a 2028 moon landing — assuming Blue Origin delivers its lander on time, which is uncertain after one of its rockets exploded during a test.

Former correction officer Tova Noel testified before the House Oversight Committee that she was not the orange-colored shape seen moving near the stairs to Jeffrey Epstein's cell tier around 10:39 p.m. on August 9, 2019, the night before Epstein was found dead at the Metropolitan Correctional Center. Noel said she never returned to the tier at that time, was not carrying anything orange, and did not issue anything orange to anyone in the Special Housing Unit. That denial matters because the Justice Department Inspector General had suggested the shape was likely Noel, while an FBI video log had reportedly described it as possibly an inmate — something that would have been highly unusual at that hour. The footage remains especially important because, due to a hard-drive failure, most cameras in the unit were not recording that night, leaving only a partial camera view of the stairs leading to Epstein's tier.Noel acknowledged that she and fellow officer Michael Thomas failed to conduct required inmate rounds and counts, but she denied having anything to do with Epstein's death or any conspiracy surrounding it. She said she did not know who Epstein was when he arrived in the SHU, was unaware of certain special conditions tied to his confinement, and had not seen the posted notice requiring 30-minute rounds. She also rejected questions about cash deposits, saying the money came from personal savings and had no connection to Epstein, and denied an allegation from released Justice Department records claiming she and Thomas were paid to neglect their duties so someone could enter Epstein's cell and kill him. Her testimony leaves the “orange shape” unresolved and adds another unanswered question to a night already defined by failed checks, broken cameras, missing clarity, and official explanations that continue to leave major gaps.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Correction officer testifies she was not the orange shape seen near Jeffrey Epstein's cell the night he died - CBS News

Former Metropolitan Correctional Center officer Tova Noel told the House Oversight Committee that her life has been upended by years of threats, harassment, and conspiracy theories tying her to Jeffrey Epstein's death. She denied playing any role in Epstein's death or any cover-up, saying she has been accused of being a murderer, threatened by strangers, and followed by rumors that have damaged her health, career, and personal life. Noel acknowledged that she was one of the officers on duty the night Epstein died and that she failed to properly perform required rounds and counts, but she framed that failure as part of the broader dysfunction inside the MCC rather than evidence of a plot. She blamed understaffing, poor training, bad communication from management, and what she called the “MCC Way” for the breakdowns that occurred that night.Noel also rejected specific suspicions that have followed her, including claims that she was the orange-colored figure seen on surveillance near Epstein's cell or that she had anything to do with a mysterious payment connected to access to Epstein. She said she did not return to Epstein's tier that night, did not carry or distribute anything orange in the Special Housing Unit, and had no knowledge of who the figure was. Her testimony still leaves the larger questions around Epstein's death alive because she admitted the basic institutional failures: Epstein was not checked as required, records were falsified, and the jail's security practices broke down around one of the most high-profile detainees in federal custody. In other words, Noel's testimony was an attempt to separate incompetence and institutional rot from murder or conspiracy, while critics continue to point to the same gaps—failed cameras, missed rounds, falsified logs, and unexplained footage—as the reason the official story has never satisfied the public.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

I'm a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives — and I knew about this fraud before the report came out, because I talked to the people who lived it.Today the House Oversight Committee released a 205-page report putting the scale of Minnesota's Medicaid fraud at up to $9 billion since 2018. The headline is that Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison were warned as early as 2019 and failed to act. That part is true. But there's a part of this story I have firsthand experience with — and it's the part four minutes of cable news won't have room for.During my Somali community outreach for the Republican Party, I met people who saw this grift up close. They wanted it exposed. But they were afraid — of the providers, of their own community, and most of all of the administration. One man told me he feared for his life. They wouldn't go to authorities connected to the Walz administration, because they believed it would make them a target. That's why this had to go federal.This is the whole mechanism — how $9 billion walked out the door over six years while the people who tried to stop it got punished for trying. And why the real lesson isn't "the other team is corrupt." It's structural. And it doesn't have a party.Discussed tonight on Fox News with Will Cain — full breakdown here.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 The $9 billion report01:18 What the report actually proves03:02 What I saw: my Somali community outreach06:55 The uncomfortable truth (this isn't partisan)https://x.com/WalterHudson⬇️ Watch, think critically, and decide for yourself.

Sarah Kellen, Jeffrey Epstein's former personal assistant, told the House Oversight Committee that she was brought into Prince Andrew's orbit, including private dinners in Andrew's Buckingham Palace apartment and Princess Beatrice's 18th birthday party at Windsor Castle. Kellen identified Andrew and Sarah Ferguson as notable figures within Epstein's network, saying Andrew had been at Epstein's New York home and that she had also been present at royal residences connected to him. Andrew has denied wrongdoing, but the testimony adds another layer to the long-running scrutiny over how deeply Epstein and his associates were able to move through elite royal spaces.Kellen's testimony is also significant because she occupies one of the most complicated positions in the Epstein story: she was named as a potential co-conspirator in Epstein's 2008 plea deal, yet she has told authorities she was also groomed, controlled, and repeatedly raped by Epstein. She described Epstein as a manipulative and dangerous figure who used his access to powerful people around the world as a tool of intimidation, and she said the abuse continued even after he was jailed, including an alleged Skype call from prison in which he ordered her to undress on camera. Her account places Andrew's palace access inside a broader pattern of Epstein using proximity to royalty, politicians, financiers, academics, and foreign leaders to project power and keep those around him trapped.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein's PA dined with Andrew in his Buckingham Palace rooms

Tim Walz repeatedly failed or refused to stop rampant fraud, Scott Pelley's martyr complex after getting the boot from CBS, and Jill Biden once again excluding one of her granddaughters from public recognition.First, Jim and Greg comment on Karen Bass and City Councilwoman Nithya Raman advancing to the general election in the Los Angeles mayor's race, Spencer Pratt coming up short and lingering questions about California's election system. Next, they review a House Oversight Committee report that alleges Gov. Walz and his administration ignored repeated warnings from whistleblowers about massive fraud and, in some cases, retaliated against those who raised concerns. Then, Jim and Greg react to former CBS correspondent Scott Pelley's effort to portray himself as a victim following his firing last week. They also discuss the left wing bubble in mainstream media. Finally, they criticize former First Lady Jill Biden for once again refusing to acknowledge the child that Hunter Biden fathered out of wedlock. Mrs. Biden dedicated her latest book in part to her granddaughters, but she did not include the child's name, continuing a pattern. Please visit our great sponsors:OneSkinGet15% off OneSkin with code 3ML at https://oneskin.co/3MLPocket HoseFor a limited time, get two free gifts—a 360° rotating pocket pivot and a thumb drive nozzle—when you buy the Pocket Hose Ballistic; just text MARTINI to 64000, message and data rates may apply.New episodes every weekday.
