The Washington, D.C.-based Institute for Primary Facts has transformed New York's contemporary-focused Mriya Gallery into the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Reading Room, which holds 3,437 bound volumes spanning all of the released Epstein files. The reading room opened in Tribeca on May 8, and remains on view for guests aged 16 and over through May 21. Although limited walk-in slots are available, Primary Facts recommends scheduling an appointment through its platform, snidely titled Trumpsonian.
The Guardian examined more than a million emails released so far and identified over 150,000 unique emails between Epstein and a select group of elites and influential people (including those sent to or from assistants or close associates). In this two-part series, the Guardian analyses correspondence between more than 30 people and Epstein, and visualises the online relationships of seven high-profile figures.
We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments. I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.
According to the documents, Epstein had ties with former South African President Jacob Zuma; Karim Wade, a politician and son of Senegal's ex-president Abdoulaye Wade; and deceased Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe. The new files also shed more light on Epstein's connections to a relative of Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara, who appeared to connect the two men.
For two months, news desks on both sides of the Atlantic have been trawling through the Epstein files, daily releasing sensational details. This one story now years old is crushing out many others. The name of Jeffrey Epstein this past week has claimed precedence over Donald Trump, China, Iran and Ukraine. Each night's BBC television news has demoted Keir Starmer, the NHS, tax reform and student loans.
NPR's previous reporting found internal FBI and Justice Department outline documents related to allegations from a woman who, according to documents within the database, claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13 years old, Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Trump, "who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."
Peter Attia seems, in contrast, rather sensible. There's the fact that he went to medical school and practices as a doctor. His work has popularized the term healthspan-the years of one's life when physical and mental abilities are still sharp, before disability or disease settles in-and the goal to maximize this period.
Rather than exposing the powerful men who participated in the sexual trafficking of children and apparently escaped accountability, the dump of thousands of decontextualized pages created something closer to a controlled obscurement. The method was almost elegant: hide it in plain sight, all of it, at once, with no index, no context, and no map. Technically public. Practically unreadable. Volume becomes its own fog.
The emails show that Holman and Epstein became acquainted as far back as 2010. Politico's reporting claimed that Epstein made plans to meet with the technologist in 2013, although it isn't clear if the sex offender actually attended. Emails from the evidence bundle also appear to show that in the same year, Holman planned to stay at Epstein's residence in New York City, and introduced Epstein to other industry figures.
All of these business execs worked in very different spheres, but their sudden departures can be traced back to the same point of origin: their names cropped up again and again in the Department of Justice's (DOJ) latest trove of Epstein files, released in late January. Over the past few weeks, many prominent figures have stepped down from their high-profile positions amid growing scrutiny over their relationships with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
For weeks now, independent journalists, online sleuths, and citizens have been combing through the millions of pages of files, and last week, Congress got to see the unredacted entries that reportedly feature D*n*ld Tr*mp over 1 million times.
A Hayward man, 31-year-old Christopher Nadhan, has been charged with raping a woman whom he found sleeping in her car at the Walnut Creek BART station. The victim said she had been out drinking with a friend in San Francisco and decided to sleep a bit in her car on October 25, 2025, and she awoke to the suspect on top of her. [Bay Area News Group]
Okay, there were only four Republicans, only four of us that signed that discharge petition: Thomas Massie, myself, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace. Now, what was happening in the background for months leading up to when we finally got it released is we were getting pressure from the White House. Greene added: We were getting pressure from the speaker. Do not take your name off this discharge petition.
Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Congress on Saturday that the DOJ has released all Epstein-related records required by law. She listed over 300 names including Trump, Biden, Zuckerberg, and Tucker Carlson among politically exposed persons. Fox News carried the announcement prominently. And the administration's message was clear: case closed, move along. Almost nobody is moving along. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) went on ABC's This Week and called the Trump White House the Epstein administration, saying he's up against the Epstein class of billionaires.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) ripped President Donald Trump accusing him of being still in the Epstein class in a fiery interview on ABC Sunday. Speaking with Martha Raddatz on ABC's This Week, the Kentucky Republican who has relentlessly pushed for transparency on the Epstein files slammed the president, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and the administration as a whole. Raddatz began by asking Massie to weigh in on Bondi's combativeness at Wednesday's blockbuster House Judiciary hearing.
The sports and entertainment talent agent said in a memo to staff that he had "become a distraction" to the company's work and had started the process to sell the firm. Mike Watts, a long-time executive, would take on day-to-day control of the business, he said in the memo obtained by Bloomberg News. Some of Ireland's best-known personalities are signed to the global music and sports agency.
Wasserman explained in an email to 4,000 employees that he's become a "distraction" from the company's work, writing, "That is why I have begun the process of selling the company, an effort that is already underway. During this time, Mike Watts will assume day-to-day control of the business while I devote my full attention to delivering Los Angeles an Olympic Games in 2028 that is worthy of this outstanding city." He is currently the chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
