Cecile de Jongh, former First Lady of the U.S. Virgin Islands, admitted in court filings that she stayed at Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan apartment in 2017 while undergoing knee-replacement surgery. According to the reporting, she explained the stay as a matter of convenience because the apartment offered an elevator and close proximity to the hospital. However, the acknowledgment has intensified scrutiny over the long-standing relationship between Epstein and political leadership in the Virgin Islands, raising questions about the nature and depth of the ties between Epstein and the territory's most influential public figures.The stay is part of a broader pattern documented in lawsuits and financial records that show de Jongh maintained an extensive working relationship with Epstein for years, including serving as a key facilitator for his business and political interests in the Virgin Islands while her husband was governor. She has been accused in court filings of acting as a conduit for Epstein's influence over legislation, helping secure visas for young women associated with him, and requesting tuition support for her children. These details further fuel allegations that Virgin Islands officials not only tolerated Epstein's presence but actively helped maintain the conditions that allowed him to operate unchecked for decades.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Former U.S. Virgin Islands Governor John de Jongh Jr. has filed a memorandum in federal court seeking to dismiss, transfer, or strike the lawsuit brought by five anonymous women identified as Jane Does 1-5, who accuse the Virgin Islands government and several current and former officials of enabling Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network. De Jongh argues that the Southern District of New York lacks jurisdiction, asserting he has been a resident of the U.S. Virgin Islands for decades and has no substantial ties to New York that would justify the case being heard there. He also claims he was improperly served at a Manhattan address where he says he does not reside or maintain control, insisting the lawsuit should be dismissed or moved to the Virgin Islands, where the alleged conduct occurred.The memorandum further contends that even if the court finds jurisdiction proper, the claims against De Jongh should still be thrown out because they are barred by prior settlement releases signed by Epstein's victims as part of earlier agreements with his estate. He argues that the complaint fails to allege specific wrongful acts committed by him and maintains that any actions connected to Epstein occurred while he was serving in his official capacity, which he says grants him legal immunity. De Jongh also asks the court to strike portions of the complaint as irrelevant and prejudicial, describing them as inflammatory rather than grounded in fact. The filing adds another layer to the expanding legal fight over what government officials knew— and failed to stop—while Epstein operated in the Virgin Islands.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

On a visit to the U.S. Virgin Islands in winter 2018, we took the pulse of the national music of St. Croix – quelbe. Rarely recorded, rarely exported, quelbe is an energetic form, led by sax or flute with percussion and banjo, and it fuels the traditional dance style, quadrille. St Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, and sits alone 42 miles south of St. Thomas and St. John. That's part of why traditional music and dance forms have remained strong on St. Croix. Meet bandleaders Stanley Jacobs of Stanley and the 10 Sleepless Knights, and Dmitri Copemann of the Renaissance Band, who are cultivating a vibrant next generation.

Jeffrey Epstein's role as a benefactor to Stacey Plaskett has become a focal point as records show that he provided financial support to her political campaigns while she was serving as the congressional delegate for the U.S. Virgin Islands. Multiple donations were made by Epstein and individuals connected to him over several election cycles, reportedly totaling tens of thousands of dollars. These contributions have fueled criticism that Plaskett benefited directly from Epstein's wealth and influence at a time when many institutions and public figures were distancing themselves from him following his 2008 conviction.Beyond the money, Epstein's relationship with Plaskett raised questions of personal access and influence. Communications released in recent months show that Epstein texted Plaskett during the high-profile 2019 congressional hearing featuring Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, suggesting talking points and strategy in real time as she questioned witnesses. That exchange has been widely interpreted as evidence that Epstein saw Plaskett not merely as a politician he supported, but as someone he could advise, confide in, and potentially influence on matters of national visibility. Plaskett has denied any improper relationship, characterizing Epstein as nothing more than a constituent, but the revelations have sparked intense scrutiny over how close the two actually were and why Epstein felt comfortable inserting himself into her congressional work.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
Stacey Plaskett, the U.S. Virgin Islands delegate to the U.S. House, has called the civil lawsuit filed against her by six survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking scheme “frivolous.” In her motion seeking sanctions against the plaintiffs' attorney, she described the accusations as “outright untruth, fiction and misrepresentation,” stating the attorney persisted with what she characterized as unfounded claims even after her legal team warned that continuing would trigger a Rule 11 motion.The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2023 and amended twice, alleged that Plaskett and other U.S. Virgin Islands officials helped facilitate Epstein's trafficking operations, including through tax-break programs, fundraising, and other support. Plaskett denied all the allegations, and by August 2025 the case against her alone was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Reports indicate that newly unsealed court records reveal Jeffrey Epstein's estate discovered a previously unknown cache of videos and photographs that may contain highly sensitive or potentially illegal material. According to the filings, the estate alerted federal authorities and legal representatives for survivors once the cache was located, and the material is now being reviewed under restricted access. The revelation has raised immediate questions about how such evidence remained undiscovered during prior raids and investigations, and why it is only surfacing years after Epstein's death, despite the public insistence that all relevant materials were already collected by law enforcement.These reports also note that the discovery aligns with long-standing claims from survivors and insiders that Epstein systematically recorded activities inside his properties, allegedly capturing compromising encounters involving high-profile individuals. Advocates have argued for years that Epstein used surveillance as leverage and protection, and the existence of a hidden archive intensifies speculation about who may be depicted on the recovered media. The finding further fuels concerns about transparency, chain of custody, and the possibility that critical evidence was concealed, misplaced, or withheld, leaving the public once again questioning whether the full truth surrounding Epstein's network has ever genuinely been revealed.Former Barclays CEO Jes Staley and his legal team forcefully rejected allegations made by JPMorgan Chase, describing them as “slanderous” and “baseless but serious.” The dispute emerged during litigation in Manhattan, where lawsuits filed by the U.S. Virgin Islands and a survivor identified as Jane Doe 1 accused Staley of having closely associated with Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking network, including claims that he exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein containing disturbing content. Staley's lawyers argued that the accelerated trial schedule was unnecessary and unfair, insisting that he had been given insufficient time to prepare an adequate defense. JPMorgan, in turn, pursued legal action against Staley, seeking to recover compensation and asserting that he was central to decisions that allowed Epstein to operate as a client for years. The bank maintained that Staley was “inextricably linked” to the case, pointing to his long relationship with Epstein dating back to his tenure at JPMorgan in the early 2000s. Staley ultimately resigned as CEO of Barclays in 2021 amid scrutiny from UK regulators over his Epstein ties, and the legal confrontation highlighted the reputational fallout and lingering uncertainty surrounding the financial institutions and executives connected to Epstein's network.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

President Trump is right. It is time to investigate the Clintons and the entire Democrat Party for their connections to Jeffrey Epstein. We reported in 2019 that investigative reporter Conchita Sarnoff, the author of “Trafficking” on the Jeffrey Epstein case, joined Shannon Bream and said Bill Clinton flew on Epstein's plane 27 times and ALMOST EVERY TIME that Clinton was on the plane there were underage girls on the plane. Sarnoff also said Bill Clinton was lying about his flights with Jeffrey Epstein. The Clintons were also regular visitors at Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. Al Gore We also learned in 2019 after a release of files from the first Epstein case that one woman claimed Al Gore was at Epstein's Island. A woman who claims she was a sex slave for billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein says she met former vice president Al Gore, according to documents unsealed on Friday. The documents were made public Friday after a U.S. Court of Appeals upheld a lower court decision to make public more than 2,000 pages of court filings in a since-settled 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia Roberts against Epstein confidant and aide Ghislaine Maxwell. Larry Summers We uncovered in 2019 that Larry Summers, the creepy former President of Harvard and President Clinton's Secretary of Treasury, flew numerous times on Jeffrey Epstein's jet and even flew to Epstein's so called ‘Orgy Island'.

Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman and co visited the island, plus possible financial ties to Epstein. So they devised an op to make it look like Pres Trump is compromised when he is not.

Virginia Roberts Giuffre alleges that Prince Andrew, Duke of York sexually abused her on three separate occasions after she was trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She claims the first encounter occurred in March 2001 when she was 17, at Maxwell's London residence; she asserts that Maxwell told her she was “going to meet a handsome prince.” The second encounter is alleged to have been in New York, and the third on Epstein's island, Little Saint James in the U.S. Virgin Islands, involving multiple under-aged girls. In her memoir and public statements she describes being forced into the situations, having little ability to refuse, and later being paid as part of the trafficking structure.In her book and interviews, Giuffre also details the streams of evidence and “guessing game” rounds that critics and defenders of Andrew engage in — including his repeated denials, his claim he could not sweat (used to contradict her nightclub memory), and arguments over whether a widely circulated photograph of him with Giuffre and Maxwell is genuine. She writes that Andrew correctly guessed her age when they first met (“My daughters are just a little younger than you”), and emphasizes how the photo's timestamp (March 13 2001) aligns with the timeline she gives. Meanwhile, defenders of Andrew insist flaws in her account or “memory issues” but Giuffre states that the guessing about details of the case (where she was, what day it was, who else was present) is precisely what the networks of power rely on to muddy her truth and preserve his denials.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
H3 - Segment 1 - Wed Nov 19 2025 - Last night Stacy Plaskin Delegate from Virgin Islands up for censure taking directions from Epstein during Michael Cohen hearings
The Epstein Files Transparency Act passed by a vote of 427-1, with only Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins voting no. Epstein survivors were in the House gallery crying and cheering when the bill passed. The bill requires the Department of Justice to publish "all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in DOJ's possession that relate to the investigation and prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein," now heads the to the Senate.House Freedom Caucus member Ralph Norman filed a motion to censure Democratic House Delegate Stacey Plaskett of the Virgin Islands after bombshell emails revealed she was "colluding" with Epstein during a congressional hearing.U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Brown has ruled that Texas's new congressional map was likely unconstitutional, saying it should instead use its 2021 maps. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said that the maps were redrawn "to better reflect Texas' conservative voting preferences — and for no other reason," slamming the court's "discriminatory" claims against the map and vowing to appeal all the way to the Supreme Court. Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations, citing each group's ties to Islamic extremism and accusing them of seeking to “forcibly impose Sharia law.”Become a supporter of Tapp into the Truth: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tapp-into-the-truth--556114/support Tapp into the Truth on Rumble.

Jeffrey Epstein's finances were a labyrinth deliberately designed to defy transparency. Despite presenting himself as a billionaire money manager, there was never any verifiable evidence of major clients, traditional investment portfolios, or legitimate business operations. His primary company, Financial Trust Co., was registered in the Virgin Islands — a jurisdiction notorious for secrecy — and functioned more as a private shell than a real investment firm. Epstein's wealth seemed to appear out of thin air: properties worth hundreds of millions, private jets, an island compound, and a Manhattan mansion allegedly “gifted” to him under murky circumstances. Forensic accountants and federal investigators alike have repeatedly noted that his books were impenetrable, his paper trail incomplete, and his supposed “financial empire” more illusion than reality.Beneath that illusion, Epstein's fortune was a web of offshore accounts, shadow foundations, and undisclosed transfers tied to an elite network of billionaires, politicians, and institutions. Many of his most conspicuous assets were owned through opaque LLCs or layered trusts that obscured true ownership, allowing him to move money between jurisdictions without detection. His close ties to figures like Leslie Wexner and Leon Black raised deeper questions about whether Epstein's wealth came from management fees, blackmail leverage, or participation in illicit financial schemes. Even after his death, forensic efforts to trace his full financial structure have been hampered by missing records, sealed documents, and non-cooperative entities. To this day, Epstein's finances remain one of the most sophisticated examples of how power, secrecy, and corruption can blur the line between wealth and criminality.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

It's Fun Day Monday on the Majority Report On today's program: National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett has been making the media rounds, spreading misinformation by claiming that prices are falling across the board and that there is no job crisis. Instead, he insists we're simply in a "quiet time," arguing that AI has made current employees so productive that employers no longer need to hire new college graduates. Journalist Murtaza Hussain, who covers national security and foreign affairs for Drop Site News, joins the show to discuss his four-part series on Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Israeli intelligence. Check out Murtaza's incredible reporting here. In the Fun Half: Trump has a third annual physical this year, seems like he is hiding some sort of medical issue or treatment. On CNN, Epstein biographer Barry Levine believes that the reference to the Trump being "the dog that hasn't barked" indicates that Trump was an informant to the Palm Beach investigation into Epstein. The Washington Post released a video that syncs Jeffrey Epstein's texts to the Virgin Islands' delegate to Congress with questions asked during a hearing. Vivek Ramaswamy is asked about what he would do as governor of Ohio to combat child poverty and he gives an answer that vacillates between nonsense and misinformation. Trump and Majorie Taylor-Greene trade jabs as MTG tries to carve out her own space in the GOP. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) stops short of endorsing Chuck Schumer when asked if he still supports him as Senate minority leader. All that and more The Congress switchboard number is (202) 224-3121.

Congress releases over 2,300 Epstein emails naming Trump, Clinton, and Obama. Patrick Bet-David's panel dissects the leaks, alleged Virgin Islands collusion, and survivors demanding full transparency. As Trump says, “release it all,” the debate turns to justice, blackmail, and national security.

After Jeffrey Epstein's death in 2019, Ghislaine Maxwell filed a lawsuit against his estate claiming that she was owed reimbursement for legal fees, security costs, and personal protection expenses she allegedly incurred as a result of her long association with him. Filed in the Virgin Islands, the suit portrayed Maxwell as a scapegoat left to fend for herself financially and legally after Epstein's demise, asserting that he had promised to cover her defense and related expenses stemming from their partnership. Her attorneys argued that Epstein had verbally guaranteed her financial protection for the “years of work” she performed for him and that his estate was unjustly withholding funds that would allow her to defend herself amid mounting criminal investigations.The move sparked widespread outrage and disbelief, as it came while Epstein's victims were still fighting for restitution through the same estate. Maxwell's claim — reportedly for millions of dollars — positioned her in direct competition with survivors seeking compensation for the abuse she was accused of facilitating. Critics viewed the lawsuit as a calculated attempt to secure money before the estate was depleted by victim settlements. The estate's executors disputed her claims and sought to dismiss the suit, but the filing underscored Maxwell's audacity and self-preservation instincts, reinforcing public perception that even in Epstein's absence, those in his inner circle remained focused on protecting their wealth, not reckoning with the devastation they helped cause.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Devon O'Neil is a journalist, author, and longtime friend of mine whose new book "The Way Out: A True Story of Survival in the Heart of the Rockies" is one of the best pieces of outdoor nonfiction I've read in years. The book tells the harrowing true story of a backcountry ski trip near Leadville, Colorado, that turned tragic—and the years-long process of understanding what really happened, and how a mountain town wrestled with loss, resilience, and the complicated relationship we all have with risk and wild places. It's gripping, deeply reported, and beautifully written—equal parts survival epic, community portrait, and meditation on how we find meaning in the aftermath of tragedy. Devon has spent more than two decades as a writer and reporter based in Summit County, Colorado, covering everything from adventure sports and avalanches to the cultural and emotional undercurrents of life in mountain towns. Before turning his attention to this book project, he worked in newspapers, wrote for Outside, Men's Journal, and ESPN.com, and somehow managed to balance all of that with being a hardcore athlete and a dedicated dad and husband. He's one of those rare writers whose empathy and endurance match the people that he writes about. In this conversation, Devon and I dig into the story behind "The Way Out"—how he first heard about the tragedy, earned the trust of a close-knit community, and spent years piecing together a complete and compassionate account. We talk about the ethical tightrope of telling other people's hardest stories, how his own brushes with danger shaped his perspective on risk, and what this project taught him about the fine line between adventure and recklessness. We also get into his childhood growing up on a sailboat in the Virgin Islands, his evolution as a journalist and athlete, and the hard-earned wisdom that comes from spending a lifetime chasing stories in the mountains. "The Way Out" is available now wherever you get your books, so follow the links in the episode notes to grab your copy. Big thanks to Devon for the chat, and thank you for listening.

Jeffrey Epstein's financial relationship with JPMorgan Chase ran deep — and lasted far longer than it ever should have. From the late 1990s until 2013, JPMorgan acted as Epstein's primary bank, managing his wealth, routing payments, and processing more than $1 billion in transactions even after his 2008 sex-crime conviction. Internal compliance teams repeatedly flagged Epstein's suspicious activity — massive monthly cash withdrawals, wire transfers to foreign accounts, and payments to women listed as “assistants.” Yet those warnings were ignored or overridden by senior executives, including Jes Staley, who maintained close personal contact with Epstein and allegedly visited him multiple times at his Manhattan townhouse and private island. The bank only cut ties in 2013, years after regulators had already raised red flags and long after Epstein's name had become synonymous with criminality.Subsequent lawsuits exposed just how intertwined the relationship was. The U.S. Virgin Islands and Epstein's victims both accused JPMorgan of enabling his trafficking operation by providing unrestricted financial access, arguing the bank “knowingly facilitated” his crimes to retain a lucrative client. The bank settled for $290 million with Epstein's victims and $75 million with the USVI, while internal communications revealed that top leadership — including Mary Erdoes and Jes Staley — had authority to drop Epstein but didn't. Emails showed Staley referring to Epstein with familiar tone and discussing visits to his properties. Even after his conviction, Epstein remained a valued client, reflecting how profit and personal connections outweighed compliance or morality. The scandal didn't just tarnish JPMorgan's reputation — it exposed how the world's most powerful financial institutions became complicit in shielding a predator for the sake of money and influence.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Fateful Secret: Mackenzie's Panic and the Wardroom's Verdict of Death. Richard Snow discusses how the crisis began on Friday, November 24, 1842, when Philip Spencer detailed his plot to crew member Wales, claiming to have recruited at least 20 people to turn the Somers into a pirate ship. Wales reported the plot to First Lieutenant Gansevoort, who reported to Captain Mackenzie. Mackenzie initially dismissed the claim but quickly became convinced and panicky, ordering Gansevoort to spy on Spencer. On Saturday, Mackenzie confronted Spencer and had him put in irons. Mackenzie grew increasingly suspicious, eventually arresting Boatswain's Mate Cromwell and Seaman Small. The ship's environment became one of "collective insanity" and extreme paranoia. Mackenzie suspiciously delegated the choice by asking his wardroom officers to convene an investigation, and the officers delivered a verdict: for the safety of the vessel, Spencer, Small, and Cromwell had to die. Despite being only hours from fortified land in the Virgin Islands, the verdict was executed.
