A French professional model scout who spent more than ten years connecting the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein with various models was found dead in his residence near Paris on Monday (July 20). Marie-Céline Lawrysz, deputy public prosecutor at the Nanterre Judicial Court, confirmed on Wednesday (July 22) that Daniel Siad's body was discovered at his home in Colombes, a suburb of the French capital. An autopsy is set to be conducted to establish the cause of death.

Siad claimed that Epstein had promised him his payments for his crimes, that “this would never happen with anybody” that he referred to him. “I trusted him and believed this guy was a professional person,” he told CNN. “I never heard anything from anyone I introduced to him who came back to me that they had a bad situation. I believed this guy was a professional person.” Siad also claimed that he thought of Epstein as a casting director for Victoria’s Secret and the modelling agency MC2. Meanwhile, files released by the Department of Justice revealed that late sex offender Epstein paid tens of thousands of dollars to Siad. In one message, Siad wrote: “Cute French girl in Marrakesh… She said that she will (be) happy to meet you.” Separately, Siad added that Epstein asked for his help in finding an assistant. In a 2018 email, Siad found writing that he was looking for a “good-looking young assistant” for Epstein. Similarly, in another message, he sent a photo to Epstein of a woman, explaining her as “very polite” with “potential” as a “model” or “assistant.”

Details are out on the contents of one of the six secret storage lockers of Jeffrey Epstein. The late paedophile financier hid computers, sex manuals, nude photos and VHS tapes in a Palm Beach storage locker before a 2005 raid. But the question is, what is still being hidden?

An interaction between Les Wexner, the former Victoria's Secret CEO, and his attorney has gone viral, after their whispering conversation was caught on the near mic amid his opening statement at the deposition. During the conversation, Wexner’s lawyer was caught on the microphone threatening to “kill” him for giving a long explanation related to his involvement with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The incident surfaced while Wexner was appearing before the House panel to testify in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation after the Justice Department released the latest batch of files related to the late convicted child sex offender. During the conversation, Wexner’s lawyer said, "I will f‑‑‑ing kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, OK.” Both of them briefly laughed during the exchange, with Wexner appearing to suppress his laughter as the attorney reminded him to “answer the question.” Wexner responded with an “OK,” and the deposition continued.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">YIKES—During Les Wexner&#39;s deposition with the House Oversight Committee on the Epstein case, his lawyer gives him this SHOCKING advice. &quot;I’ll f**king kill you if you answer another question with more than five words, ok?&quot; <a href="https://t.co/hsqyfCgh7L">pic.twitter.com/hsqyfCgh7L</a>&mdash; DeVory Darkins (@devorydarkins) <a href="https://twitter.com/devorydarkins/status/2024619711523410419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 19, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

<h3>Les Wexner's connections with Jeffrey Epstein</h3>Wexner, who is associated with major brands such as Bath &amp; Body Works, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, and Victoria’s Secret, has for years faced criticism over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, who served as his financial adviser from the 1990s through the early 2000s. Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Epstein who died by suicide last year, alleged that she was trafficked to Wexner, an accusation he has consistently denied. Documents released by the Department of Justice list Wexner as a co-conspirator in a 2019 Federal Bureau of Investigation file related to the Epstein case, though he has never been charged with any offence. During Wednesday’s deposition, Wexner said he had no direct knowledge of Epstein’s sex-trafficking activities. He told the committee that Epstein led a “double life,” deceived both him and his wife, and stole money from their family. Wexner added that once Epstein pleaded guilty and his betrayal became clear, he severed all ties with him and did not visit him while he was incarcerated, according to a report in FOX 24. “Let me state from the start: I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man. And while I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide,” he said. “Let me be crystal clear: I never witnessed nor had any knowledge of Epstein’s criminal activity,” Wexner added.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/was-jeffrey-epstein-really-involved-in-cannibalism-here-s-what-doj-files-reveal-1770370197051">Was Jeffrey Epstein really involved in cannibalism?

Retail tycoon Les Wexner on Wednesday (Feb 18) told lawmakers that he was “conned” by Jeffrey Epstein, denying any knowledge of his crimes during a House Oversight Committee hearing as part of the investigation into the late sex offender and his associates. The former Victoria’s Secret CEO was subpoenaed after his links to Epstein surfaced following the release of millions of documents by the Department of Justice.“I was naive, foolish, and gullible to put any trust in Jeffrey Epstein. He was a con man,” the 88-year-old said during his closed-door testimony. “While I was conned, I have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide.”Democratic lawmakers said Wexner downplayed the closeness of his relationship and provided few new details as they grilled him over his ties with Epstein. The lingerie magnate repeatedly said that he could not recall key events.Despite only a few new details emerging from Wexner’s testimony, Congressman Robert Garcia of California said that it was important in understanding how Epstein amassed the wealth that funded his crimes.&nbsp;“There would be no Epstein island, there’d be no Epstein plane, there would be no money to traffic women and girls – Mr. Epstein would not be the wealthy man he was – without the support of Les Wexner,” Garcia told reporters. During the testimony, Wexner also denied having any sexual contact with Epstein victims, as alleged in the court filings.Wexner met Epstein in the 1980s, with the former granting the sex offender power of attorney over his finances that enabled him to manage his investments and major property deals. Wexner is alleged to be Epstein’s primary client, who helped establish his stature in the elite circles.&nbsp;The former Victoria’s Secret CEO claims that he cut ties with Epstein in 2007 after learned he was charged with soliciting a minor and had stolen large sums from his family.Wexner is not a target in the Epstein investigation and has never been charged with a crime, the DOJ said. His legal team said that he cooperated with federal authorities in 2019, the year Epstein was found dead in his jail cell.

‘I was naive’: Former Victoria’s Secret CEO Les Wexner tells US lawmakers he was ‘conned’ by Epstein

Another investigation by the police on Tuesday night in connection with Jeffrey Epstein's activities in the UK has put pressure on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. The Essex Police examined the allegations in recent days, where detectives are 'assessing information' coming out from the bombshell trove, which suggests that&nbsp;Epstein trafficked sex victims to the UK using private flights via Stansted airport. The latest inquiry will put more pressure on the former Duke of York, who featured a number of times in the tranche of documents. "We are assessing the information that has emerged in relation to private flights into and out of Stansted airport following the publication of the US Department of Justice Epstein files," an Essex Police spokesman said, the Daily Mail reported. Flight records disclosed that the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, known as the “Lolita Express,” either landed at or departed from UK airports as many as 90 times between the 1990s and 2018. The disclosures have intensified calls for a criminal investigation into Prince Andrew following a series of damaging revelations in recently surfaced files.<h3>Hidden reports</h3>Senior officers at Thames Valley Police are reviewing allegations that Epstein arranged for a young woman to travel to the UK for a sexual encounter with Andrew at his Royal Lodge residence in Windsor in 2010. He forwarded hidden reports while a trade envoy for the UK in order to examine whether or not Andrew should be probed for the offence of misconduct in public office over allegations Andrew, who lost his remaining royal titles last year due to his association with Epstein, served as the UK’s Special Representative for International Trade and Investment from 2001 to 2011. The position enabled him to travel globally at public expense and provided access to senior political and business leaders. However, emails reportedly suggest that he, along with Peter Mandelson, used the role to pass on official papers, including sensitive material, to Epstein. Separately, the Metropolitan Police has already opened a criminal investigation into Mandelson over allegations that he leaked confidential information to Epstein while serving as business secretary in 2009. Last week, Former prime minister Gordon Brown said that the cops need to probe urgently if victims were trafficked on Epstein's flights to the UK. He added that Andrew must be questioned, noting that Stansted was an airport where women were transferred from one Epstein plane to another. &nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/-stop-this-bulls-t-trump-denies-links-with-epstein-again-shares-supporter-s-post-amid-cover-up-claims-1771380757159">'Stop this bulls**t': Trump denies links with Epstein again, shares ally's post amid cover-up claims</a>

Epstein UK flight trail sparks new police scrutiny, pressure mounts on former Prince Andrew

The newly released files related to the investigation into late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has releaved how his network managed the immigration status of several foreign women through student visas, sham marriages, English-language programs, and work permits. The emails among the documents showed how Karyna Shuliak, Epstein’s long-term girlfriend, secured her US citizenship through a fake marriage to another woman in New York.According to a Bloomberg report, the Belarus-born woman had moved to the United States as a transfer student. Epstein had arranged her admission to Columbia University’s dental school through a complicated process that started in 2011. In July 2012, the late pedophile reached out to his network to ensure Shuliak’s immigration status, seeking to quietly restore her student visa.However, by 2013, her legal status in the US had become uncertain. The emails in Epstein files revealed that the sex offender sought legal assistance to resolve the complications in her student visa and a pending asylum case.“She’s overstayed,” one lawyer said, warning that her reinstatement would be challenging.“We will need to decide if pushing the asylum and redoing it is a more likely path to success than the prosecutorial descretion re the reinstatement,” Epstein wrote in an email.In October 2013, Shuliak married a woman named Jennifer, who reportedly had been in a relationship with Elon Musk’s brother, Kimbal Musk. Following the marriage, Shuliak and her lawyer applied for a family-based green card. By early 2015, she received her green card and became a naturalised US citizen in 2018. She later filed for a divorce.“Now that she’s an american you should throw her a big ole party with a mechanical bull, red white and blue balloons, and deep fried snickers bars on flag toothpicks,” reads one email sent to Epstein by his immigration lawyers.The files also revealed that Epstein sponsored enrollment in English-language schools for several other foreign women to help them secure a US student visa. Apart from this, Epstein also filed a work visa application for a woman, citing her work with his company and modelling career.

The letter also outlined its justifications for the redactions made in the files in the six-page letter sent to the Senate and House Judiciary committees.The letter, which was first reported by Politico, notes that the names appeared in a “wide variety of contexts,” from individuals who directly emailed with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell to those who had no interaction with the sex offender but were mentioned in the documents. The letter does not specify which name appeared in what context.<h2>Who is named in letter?</h2>The names in the letter included Trump, Vice President JD Vance, former president Barack Obama, former president Joe Biden, and former vice president Kamala Hariss.

'Jesus watches over her… whoops': Disturbing Epstein files email mocking young victim’s faith goes viral

In a significant blow, Kathryn Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer has resigned on Thursday after the US Justice Department released new emails along with other material disclosing her good relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender. Earlier, Ruemmler and Goldman's representatives claimed she had a strictly professional relationship with Epstein. But the recent release of emails, text messages and photographs prompted Ruemmler to suddenly resign, surprising several.&nbsp;According to a report in the New York Times, the documents revealed that Ruemmler was a counsellor, confidante and friend to Epstein before joining Goldman in 2020. She assisted him in responding to tough questions in connection with his sex crimes, dating life, advised him to avoid unflattering media scrutiny and referred to him as “sweetie” and “Uncle Jeffrey.”&nbsp;In response, Epstein assisted Ruemmler with career advice, directing her to move to Goldman. Later, he introduced her to prominent businesspeople along with gifts of spa treatments, high-end travel and Hermes luxury items. The surprising fact is that Ruemmler's name appears in the Epstein file, along with over 10,000 documents.&nbsp;In addition, she has served as Goldman’s general counsel since 2021 and as a partner and vice chair of its reputational risk committee. She also acted as White House counsel under President Obama and was a white-collar defence lawyer at Latham &amp; Watkins. “My responsibility is to put Goldman Sachs’s interests first,” Ruemmler said in a statement while confirming her resignation.&nbsp;Following her resignation, David M. Solomon, Goldman’s chief executive, said he respected her decision and described her as “a mentor and friend to many of our people.”<h3>Reality of the relationship with Jeffrey Epstein</h3>Before stepping down, Ruemmler had said through intermediaries that her exchanges with the influential Epstein were limited to light-hearted banter and social contact aimed at securing introductions to potential clients. However, the records point to a much closer connection between the two beginning in 2014, which Ruemmler herself referred to in one email as a “friendship.”&nbsp;She also explained to him how the law distinguishes between minors who are victims of sex crimes and adult sex workers. “I think the point is that if she was underage, she could not legally consent to engaging in prostitution,” Ruemmler wrote to Epstein in 2015.&nbsp;In addition, she offered strategic guidance on undermining the credibility of one of his accusers, suggesting in an email that Epstein’s attorney could try to lure the woman into a “perjury trap.” Some of Ruemmler’s messages were signed “xoxo,” and the two exchanged photographs. She joked with Epstein about the weight of travellers at New Jersey rest stops and made remarks speculating about the sexuality of a prominent hedge fund billionaire.&nbsp;Across a series of meetings and messages, she also sought his counsel on both personal and professional issues, at one point expressing frustration in an email that “men aren’t interested in women my age.”&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/was-jeffrey-epstein-really-involved-in-cannibalism-here-s-what-doj-files-reveal-1770370197051">Was Jeffrey Epstein really involved in cannibalism?

And we had lunch on the island, that is true — for about an hour.” Lutnick made the admission after his position in the Trump administration came under threat amid growing bipartisan calls for his resignation, following the release of a new cache of Epstein files that revealed his personal and business connections with the disgraced financier. “Over a 14-year period, I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with that person,” he said.

In his testimony on Tuesday morning before the Appropriations panel’s subcommittee on commerce, justice, science and related agencies, Lutnick said he met Epstein after moving into a house next door to him in New York. “I’m glad to be here to make it clear that I met Jeffrey Epstein when he moved, when I moved, to a house next door to him in New York,” the Cabinet secretary testified.

Kate and William break silence on Epstein revelations, says they are 'deeply concerned'

In a shocking reveal, newly surfaced emails suggest that ex-British royal prince Andrew spent nine days as a guest of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, during which the financier reportedly arranged a timetable of meetings and parties. According to a Daily Mail analysis of the emails, the visit began with a cosmetic “facial” treatment. This contrasts with Prince Andrew’s earlier claim that he had stayed for only four days.&nbsp;In one of the emails, Epstein messaged that a car and driver were arranged for Andrew’s use throughout the week. Previously, Andrew had told BBC journalist Emily Maitlis that his visit was solely to formally end his association with Epstein.<h3>$5,000 for a girl of school age?</h3>The email cache also includes several messages from that period about a girl of school age. In one message, it says 'confirmed that she would come after school' while another email said 'someone will come after school'. The individuals are not identified, and the messages are not clear, indicating that they were sent from different devices. Meanwhile, on the same day, Epstein directed his accountant to bring $5,000 in cash. There is no direct explanation for these unexplained emails, but they surface alongside substantial independent evidence indicating that Epstein targeted school-age girls for abuse at his Florida residence, where he reportedly kept large amounts of cash to pay victims around $300 each.&nbsp;In his widely criticised 2019 BBC interview, the former Duke of York claimed that he visited Epstein’s mansion solely to formally end their association, stating that he had no further contact with him after that meeting. He also said it was a coincidence that a photograph of the two walking together in New York’s Central Park was taken around the same time.&nbsp;However, subsequent revelations suggest that the image was captured on the seventh day of what was actually a nine-day stay at Epstein’s 21,000-square-foot mansion. During this period, multiple young women were reportedly seen entering and leaving the property.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reports also indicate that one of the women present may have been the same 26-year-old Russian woman described by Epstein months earlier as “beautiful” and “trustworthy,” whom he had previously arranged for Andrew to dine with.&nbsp;Also read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/what-is-condition-red-why-uss-abraham-lincoln-s-crew-is-running-24x7-1770332942627">What is 'Condition Red' &amp; why USS Abraham Lincoln's crew is running 24x7</a> &nbsp;

Trump health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s bizarre link with paedophile revealed in latest Epstein file dump

The latest dumb of documents released by the Department of Justice from the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has reignited questions about his death in a New York jail in August 2019, with many suggesting he may still be alive. New files released highlighted unexplained activity near his cell hours before he was found dead.According to observation logs from surveillance footage at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, where the sex offender was held, investigators pointed out a “flash of orange” moving up the staircase toward the isolated L Tier, where Epstein’s cell was located. This unusual visual was captured at around 10:39 p.m. on August 9.According to an FBI memorandum, the reviews of the partially obscured image have led to conflicting conclusions by the FBI and the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General. While the FBI log describes the image as “possibly an inmate”, the inspector general report described it as an officer carrying orange “linen or bedding,” noting it in their final report as “an unidentified [corrections officer].”“It is possible someone is carrying inmate linen or bedding up the stairs,” read the DOJ Office of Inspector General’s analysis of video footage.A final report by the Inspector General stated: “At approximately 10:39 pm, an unidentified CO appeared to walk up the L Tier stairway, and then reappeared within view of the camera at 10:41 pm.”These findings appear to contradict earlier official statements that no one entered Epstein’s housing tier on the night of his death. Former Attorney General Bill Barr and then-deputy FBI director Dan Bongino had publicly stated that surveillance footage showed no one accessing the tier before Epstein was found dead.Epstein was discovered unresponsive in his cell shortly after 6:30 am on August 10 by a corrections officer delivering breakfast. Although his death was officially ruled a suicide, no precise time of death was ever determined.The newly released records also highlight lapses in jail procedures that night, including missed inmate counts and wellness checks, as well as inconsistent recollections from corrections officers on duty. Together, the documents add to longstanding concerns and unresolved questions surrounding one of the most scrutinised deaths in recent US history.

New DOJ video logs suggest an unidentified figure moved toward Jeffrey Epstein’s jail tier the night of his death, contradicting official claims that no one entered the area before he was found dead.

Foul play in Epstein’s suicide? Newly released video logs raise fresh doubts; show someone near his jail cell

Ever since the US government permitted the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release files related to late sex offender and wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein, multiple disturbing details have now surfaced. The Justice Department released more than three million files in connection with a convicted sex offender on January 30, 2026.&nbsp;After the DOJ released the files, multiple claims on social media accused Epstein of reportedly eating babies and engaging in cannibalism and in “ritualistic sacrifice.” A video dating back to 2009 has resurfaced showing a 21-year-old model, Gabriela Rico Jiménez, being detained in Guadalajara while making claims about elites eating people, rituals, and human sacrifices at an exclusive party. Since then, the allegations gained traction through multiple posts circulating on social media platforms.&nbsp;One of the released documents alleged that babies were dismembered and their intestines removed, claiming that some individuals even consumed faeces.

Recently released Epstein-related documents from the US Justice Department show that Donald Trump and Prince Andrew were among 11 “prominent names” listed in a 2025 FBI task-force briefing that compiled allegations and tips connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

US President Donald Trump and Britain’s disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor made it to a 2025 FBI shortlist of 11 'prominent names' accused of sexual abuse during their investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, as shown in the recently released documents by the US Department of Justice. The former Duke of York and the 47th POTUS featured prominently on a PowerPoint presentation drawn up by agents from the Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force last year, the Epstein Files show. They form part of more than three million documents released by the Department of Justice, many of which consist of raw, unverified material collected during investigations. Disclaimer: WION is only reporting the names that have been mentioned in the Epstein files and is not accusing anyone of any wrongdoing. Readers are advised to use their discretion on this article. 'Disgraced' royal and 'criminal' Trump According to documents compiled by agents from a Federal Bureau of Investigation child exploitation task force in 2025, Andrew and Trump's names appeared on a shortlist of "prominent names" referenced in tips and allegations submitted during the broader Epstein investigation. The material, presented in a PowerPoint-style briefing, summarised the claims of witnesses and complainants, though investigators did not confirm their accuracy.

It notes that a witness whose name is redacted was introduced by Epstein 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". Another allegation states “(Redacted) remember Epstein introduced her to Trump, saying 'This is a good one, huh' and Trump responded 'Yes'.” Allegations against Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in the FBI briefing The slide listing Andrew included several accusations connected to Epstein’s network.

A conspiracy theory claiming that Jeffrey Epstein is still alive has resurfaced after a document labelled EFTA00133623 was discovered in the US Justice Department's database. The document appeared as part of a fresh set of files related to the late, convicted child sex offender that were made public on Friday.&nbsp;A conspiracy theory began to circulate on social media claiming that he had faked his death, despite no evidence to support the assertion. This comes after public interest in Epstein and his dealings intensified. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell in August 2019, and authorities ruled his death a suicide.&nbsp;The emergence of the newly surfaced document has fuelled renewed speculation, with many online reviving the theory that Epstein is alive. Reacting on X, one user wrote, “POV: you are reading Epstein files thinking he is dead and suddenly EFTA00133623 came."

They’ll stall this shit till he dies of natural causes and we get stuck with all the people part of his agenda."&nbsp;Another wrote,"This right here proves that leftists only care about the Epstein files and the victims because it supposedly implicates Trump. They don't really care about anyone else in the files. They're so attention is all on Trump.
