The Epstein Files

On March 19, 2026, a video of Peter Simel — a retired Palm Beach real estate executive — went viral after bystanders shouted "Epstein is alive" at him. Known online as Palm Beach Pete, Simel came forward on March 20 to deny being Jeffrey Epstein. In doing so, he confirmed he attended parties where Epstein was present, though he says they never spoke.This episode uses that admission as an entry point into the documented Palm Beach social circuit Epstein maintained for decades. FBI intake records from EFTA00021171 contain a witness account of Epstein's Christmas 2000 party at his Palm Beach Island property — the wi...

Kahn was Epstein's accountant and co-executor of his estate alongside Darren Indyke.This episode examines what executor records and the civil docket show about decisions in the hours and days after August 10, 2019, including Kahn's closed-door deposition on Capitol Hill, what lawmakers asked about Epstein's wealth and business ties, and what the deposition record confirms versus declines to answer.

The Justice Department fought off a special master in January, then declared compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Three months later: Trump-related files had been withheld, Deputy AG Todd Blanche personally blocked a DEA drug probe document, and AG Pam Bondi had been subpoenaed and walked out of a Congressional briefing. This is the documented pattern of the DOJ's war against disclosure.

How does a man fly Jeffrey Epstein's planes for 25 years — over a thousand flights — and claim he never saw a thing? His name is Larry Visoski. He was Epstein's chief pilot. And the documents tell a very different story than the one he told under oath.This episode examines Visoski's Maxwell trial testimony, the flight logs documenting named victims on his planes, the $106,654 in tuition payments Epstein made for his daughter at Syracuse University, the 40 acres of New Mexico land, and the 2017 email proving Visoski researched a CIA rendition plane for Epstein's fleet.Sources for this...
