Lieu suggested the woman may have been a victim of sex trafficking as he questioned US Attorney General Pam Bondi about why Andrew has never faced prosecution, according to a report in the Daily Mail.<h3>Andrew denies his wrongdoing</h3>"Please put the photos back up, we are looking at a sex trafficking victim under the federal Victims Trafficking Protection Act. Not only is Jeffrey Epstein guilty, but anyone who patronised Epstein's sex operation is also guilty of a crime. That's why I find it absolutely despicable that you sought to protect Epstein's clients, like former Prince Andrew," California Congressman Ted Lieu said.&nbsp;"These two photos staring you in the face are evidence of a crime, and more than enough evidence to predicate an investigation against former Prince Andrew. So I asked you, Attorney General Counsel, why did you shut down this investigation last July? And why have you not prosecuted former Prince Andrew?, he questioned.&nbsp;In the latest release, the Department of Justice of the US has published over three million documents related to Epstein. The released file has never come up with charges against former Prince Andrew. All the women in connection with Epstein were described by the US as sex trafficking victims under federal law, but in the case of the woman in the Andrew photos.

US Representative Ro Khanna has publicly identified six men whose names were previously blacked out in documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Among those named is billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner, whom an FBI document reportedly described as a co-conspirator of the late convicted sex offender. Khanna, a Democrat from California, reviewed unredacted records at the Department of Justice alongside Republican Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky. After spending roughly two hours examining the files, Khanna revealed the names during remarks on the House floor. Massie later posted images online indicating that a 2019 Justice Department record had removed redactions from Wexner’s name and photograph in a document referencing Epstein.<h2>Who is Leslie Wexner?</h2>Leslie “Les” Wexner, 88, is a prominent American retail executive and founder of L Brands, the company behind well-known chains such as Victoria’s Secret, Abercrombie &amp; Fitch, and Bath &amp; Body Works. He led the business for more than five decades, transforming it into one of the country’s largest specialty retail groups.&nbsp;Born on September 9, 1937, in Dayton, Ohio, Wexner is the son of Henry Wexner, a Russian immigrant. He built his fortune from modest beginnings and is widely regarded as Ohio’s wealthiest individual.

Wexner’s entrepreneurial journey started in 1963 with a $5,000 loan from his aunt, which he used to launch a clothing store called The Limited. The concept focused on fast-selling women’s apparel, and its early success led to rapid expansion. The company went public in 1969 under the ticker symbol LTD on the New York Stock Exchange. Throughout the 1970s, Wexner grew the brand aggressively.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/china-shoppers-snub-nationalism-for-foreign-brands-1770817851540/embed">https://www.wionews.com/videos/china-shoppers-snub-nationalism-for-foreign-brands-1770817851540/embed</a>&nbsp;In 1982, he acquired Victoria’s Secret for $1 million, at a time when the lingerie retailer was struggling. Under his leadership, it evolved into a globally recognized brand. Wexner maintained a professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein for roughly two decades, from 1987 to 2007, during which Epstein managed his financial affairs. In 2019, Wexner stated that Epstein had misappropriated funds from him.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from a US House committee on Monday (February 9), citing her constitutional protection against self-incrimination, according to lawmakers. Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year federal sentence for sex trafficking, had been ordered to testify before the House Oversight Committee about her role in Epstein’s criminal network and her relationship with the late financier.

The unclassified Epstein files email reveals that Epstein was centred on his offer to facilitate meetings between businessmen and the Chinese side through former “Prince Andrew”, claiming that the latter enjoyed a close relationship with &nbsp;President “Xi”. Official records confirm that Prince Andrew met President “Xi Jinping” in Beijing in 2016 and 2018, and sat next to him during the Chinese President's state visit to Britain in 2015. Documents suggest Epstein had links to major Chinese figures, including Li Yuanchao, former Vice President of China and Wang Qishan, a close ally of Xi Jinping. He also had multiple interactions with a US and Chinese billionaire and the executive chairman of the ultra-fast fashion company Shein, Donald Tang. However, there are no allegations that the Chinese President is involved in Epstein's sex trafficking activity or any other scandals.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Leeds, 69, the founder of Leeds Equity Partners, has allegedthat Elizabeth, 43, carried on a prolonged affair with Miami businessman Alberto Alejandro Tawil, 66, and became pregnant during the relationship. The claims appear in divorce filings in Palm Beach County, Florida, where the couple’s legal battle is currently unfolding.&nbsp;In a series of emails submitted to the court, Leeds accused his wife of secretly meeting Tawil while he was away and used crude language to describe the alleged relationship. In other correspondence, he derided Tawil as a dishonest real estate operator. The divorce places a vast real estate portfolio in jeopardy. According to media reports, assets potentially subject to division include a storied apartment at 740 Park Avenue in Manhattan, a sprawling Southampton estate, and a waterfront Palm Beach mansion. Collectively, the properties are valued at roughly $100 million based on public records.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/over-1-000-google-employees-sign-petition-to-cut-ties-with-ice-and-border-agencies-1770544730247">Over 1,000 Google employees sign petition to cut ties with ICE and border agencies</a>&nbsp;Leeds further claims that his wife improperly used marital funds to financially support Tawil, including investing more than $275,000 in one of his ventures in Mozambique. He also alleges she paid salaries for Tawil’s extensive household staff and spent additional money on luxury and intimate items, all without his consent. Tensions between the couple are also reflected in text messages cited in court filings, including one in which Leeds criticized Elizabeth’s involvement as a parent to their two children.&nbsp;The divorce filings have drawn renewed attention to Leeds’ past association with the late Jeffrey Epstein. Leeds’ name appears repeatedly in previously released Justice Department records related to Epstein, and he once publicly praised Epstein in a 2002 New York Magazine profile.

In her own court submissions, she accused Jeffrey of waging “financial warfare,” attempting to intimidate her friends through aggressive subpoenas, and engaging in harassment. She claimed that Leeds targeted individuals close to her, including Tawil and a New York jeweler, Anne Baker, whom Leeds alleges sold Elizabeth several high-value pieces of jewelry. Elizabeth contends that the subpoenas were designed to harass rather than uncover relevant evidence.&nbsp;Elizabeth also accused her husband of stalking her at one of their children’s school events and behaving aggressively in public. Additionally, she alleged that Jeffrey sent private photographs of her to intimidate and humiliate her during the divorce proceedings. The case remains ongoing.

In the newly released Epstein File, an email exchange between Jes Staley and Jeffrey Epstein shows an exchange about elite manipulation of the masses using popular culture. The email, dated February 3, 2014, shows Jes Staley, a former banker and former CEO of Barclays, suggesting that the working class is busy with circuses instead of overthrowing the financial elite.&nbsp;“You want to know why we are not Sao Paulo? Watch the TV ads on the Super Bowl. It's all about hip blacks in hip cars with white women. The group that should be in the streets has been bought off by Jay Z,” wrote Staley.In 2014, Brazil had a nationwide protest against the rising cost of living, as billions were channelled towards hosting the FIFA World Cup. But in the US, the public has been pacified by popular culture icons like “Jay Z” to protest against the elite and financialisation of the economy. Marxist critique, Antonio Gramsci has previously elaborated this criticism in his concept &nbsp;“cultural hegemony”. It argues that capitalism reproduces itself through culture to maintain the validity of the system by manufacturing consent. Thus legitimise the hegemonic structure, producing icons like "Jay Z" with an illusion of upward mobility.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/epstein-files-mark-epstein-trump-authorised-murder-fbi-false-1770529199730">Epstein Files: Mark Epstein alleges Trump ‘authorised’ Jeffrey Epstein’s murder</a>&nbsp;

The file contains many such references that reflect the deeply disturbing, racist and classist attitude of elites. One such<a href="https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%2010/EFTA02020599.pdf"> email</a> reveals that Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein were supposedly discussing, "how do we get rid of poor people as a whole". Similarly, another email exchange between AI theorist Roger Schank and Jeffrey Epstein discusses how Jewish people made a fortune in the past ten years, selling short the shipping futures. Whereas the “Goyim” were involved in the real work of shipping, they do not understand complicated financial instruments like forward freight agreements (FFAs). Jews avoid any real productive activity; instead, seek financial gain through the speculation of prices and the exploitation of others' labour. This is supposedly how “jews make money”. Industry used to reject this kind of speculative trading, but over time, this paper market grew, becoming larger than the original shipping market.&nbsp;

Newly released Epstein files show emails discussing cultural manipulation, class control and disturbing elite mindsets involving finance, race and power.

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. The document also referenced “George Bush 1,” though it remains unclear whether this was meant to refer to former US president George H.W. Bush. These claims, however, originated from unverified online accounts.&nbsp;WATCH: https://www.wionews.com/videos/nepal-bus-tragedy-death-toll-hits-13-in-baitadi-crash-1770368762978/embedd<h3>Fact-checking against Jeffrey Epstein</h3>While examining the claims circulating online, a fact-checking website, Snopes, confirmed that although the DOJ documents include references to cannibalism and ritual sacrifice, the authenticity of these allegations could not be established. Snopes reported that the claims stemmed from an alleged 2019 interview between FBI officials and an anonymous individual.&nbsp;The person claimed to have witnessed “ritualistic sacrifices” and “babies being dismembered” aboard Epstein’s yacht in 2000. However, DOJ records show that the individual failed to present any evidence to support these assertions. Further, the documents revealed that the anonymous man did not mention "cannibalism" during the interview, but the consumption of human faeces.&nbsp;However, terms like "cannibal" or "cannibalism" have surfaced elsewhere in the files released by the department, but there is no evidence or charges of cannibalism connected to Epstein himself. The file also disclosed that the man accused multiple prominent people, including Epstein, of sexually assaulting him on a yacht in 2000.&nbsp;In the FBI Officials' email, the man claimed he "was a victim of a type of ritualistic sacrifice in which his feet were cut with a scimitar, but left no scarring. On the yacht, he witnessed babies being dismembered, their intestines removed, and individuals eating the faeces from these intestines."&nbsp;Snopes noted that among the more than three million documents released in phases by the US Justice Department, the term “cannibal” appears 52 times and “cannibalism” six times. However, none of these mentions support the allegations made by the anonymous individual.&nbsp;The case against the late financier dates back to a 2006 complaint filed by the parents of a 14-year-old girl, who alleged that Epstein had molested their minor daughter at his Florida residence.

British media mogul Robert Maxwell father of Ghislaine Maxwell, who died under mysterious circumstances, has been mentioned in the Epstein Files. In the recently released Epstein's mail, he was claiming that Robert Maxwell threatened to expose all Mossad operations unless he was paid £400 mn to save his collapsing business empire.&nbsp;Epstein claimed that Robert had access to Margaret Thatcher in Downing Street and Ronald Reagan in White House. He was also acting as the unofficial ambassador of the Soviet Bloc."In that time, he had free access to Margaret Thatcher's Downing Street, t= Ronald Reagan's White House, to the Kremlin and to the corridors of power throughout Europe," wrote Epstein.Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/epstein-emails-jewish-supremacist-conspiracy-elite-dinners-1770096649080">Epstein emails expose elite dinner talk on Jewish supremacist conspiracies</a> &nbsp;

Robert Maxwell was once the owner of 400 companies and an MP in the British parliament. He was allegedly involved in the Iran-Contra money affair, using his empire for money laundering. Iran-Contra was one of the darkest scams of the CIA-Mossad, where they sold weapons to Iran to fund the Nicaraguan rebels, who were fighting the communist government. It was later discovered in 1986 when a supply plane was shot down over Nicaragua, and arms were found in the plane. Robert was also the backbone of the PROMIS Software Scandal; he globally distributed the bugged PROMIS software used by Mossad to spy on other governments.&nbsp;Whistleblower Ari Ben-Menashe alleged that he diverted the funds from his companies to further his espionage goals. “Maxwell passed on all the secrets he learned to Mossad in Tel Aviv. In turn, they tolerated his excesses, vanities and insatiable appetite for a luxurious lifestyle and women,” wrote Epstein. "He told his controllers who they should target and how they should do it. He appointed himself as Israel's unofficial ambassador to the Soviet Bloc." &nbsp;His life mirrors the life of Jeffrey Epstein, both had the story of rags to riches, both were connected to Mossad, KGB and MI6; and both had Ghislaine Maxwell along with them.&nbsp;Maxwell died falling from his yacht, “the Lady Ghislaine,” after a supposed heart attack. Even though the official explanation denied foul play, reports suggest that there were discrepancies in his pathology test, there were bruises on his body, it was found almost 100 miles away from the yacht, and not a single crew hear any splash of him falling in water. Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh and others suggested that when Maxwell's debt became unassailable, he tried to blackmail Mossad to bail him out, which led to his death. These speculations were further fueled when he received a state funeral in Israel, where six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence, and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir were present. Shamir stated that Maxwell “has done more for Israel than can today be said.”&nbsp;

Epstein Files cite claims that British media tycoon Robert Maxwell threatened Mossad over a £400 million bailout, alleging deep intelligence links and blackmail.

The recent tranche of Epstein emails released by the DOJ had mentioned a dinner table conversation between Epstein and his anonymous guests. Epstein was recollecting the conversation where they were discussing the Jewish supremacist conspiracy theory. These emails have once again become the fodder for speculations about the existence of a hidden power.&nbsp;Epstein was asking one of his guests, presumably right-wing, why they are so “anti-semitic”, the other person responds the historical stereotype about jews pulling strings behind the government. Then one of them pointed to “Epstein”, he supposedly laughed it off.&nbsp;"At my dinner table I asked "why are you right wing guys so anti - semetic" One said- "historically we all know its actually been the Jews behind the govts actually pulling the strings".

Another such email between Jeffrey Epstein and Peggy Siegal, a well-known celebrity publicist, from August 2010, shows a conversation about a party. Peggy was asking whether it was going to be “100% Jew night”. Epstein replied, “No, goyim in abundance- jpmorgan execs brilliant wasps.” Goyim is a modern slang used by Jews to describe non-Jews. He further says that there is an event called “Yom Kippur Redemption” that sounds like a “wrestling event”. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, was communicating within networks of people in entertainment, finance, media and categorising them on religion and ethnicity, shows the disturbing mindset among the elites. One of Epstein's former victims, Maria Farmer, alleged that Epstein belonged to a network of Jewish supremacist which was dismissed by mainstream media, but recent revelations are corroborating Farmer's claims. DOJ has released 3 million+ Epstein files with heavy redaction; further 3 million more will never be released due to concerns of US national security.&nbsp;

The Trump DoJ, as per reports, in its latest Epstein Files release of over three million pages, including photos and videos, published dozens of unredacted images of victims, including minors.<h2>DoJ debacle revealed: Victims unmasked, paedophiles protected</h2>The US Justice Department, in its latest Epstein files dump, accidentally published dozens of unredacted nude images. The images, which appeared on the department’s public website, showed young women, and in some cases possibly teenagers, whose photographs were stored in Epstein-related records.Under the law governing the disclosure, the government was required to redact all sexually explicit material and any information that could identify victims. That clearly did not happen. The blunder was spotted by journalists at The New York Times, who were reviewing the more than three million pages. They discovered nearly 40 explicit images that had not been redacted.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/epstein-files-claim-bill-gates-sought-to-drug-wife-melinda-after-sex-with-russian-girls-report-1769845202831">Epstein files claim Bill Gates sought to drug wife Melinda after sex with ‘Russian girls’ | Report</a><h2>Trump protected</h2>The controversy has also exposed shocking inconsistencies in how the files were handled.

Annie Farmer, who has testified in court about being groomed and abused as a teenager by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, said the release was “extremely disturbing,” and said she felt she was naive to believe that the US government would protect victims. “It’s hard to imagine a more egregious way of not protecting victims than having full nude images of them available for the world to download,” she said.Other victims and their lawyers have also expressed outrage. Brittany Henderson, who represents a woman named in the files despite never being publicly linked to Epstein before, described the redaction failures as “abhorrent” and accused the department of showing a shocking lack of care. “We are frankly shocked by the level of carelessness that the department has shown towards these women,” she said.

Jeffrey Epstein’s final will reveals that the convicted sex trafficker intended to leave a substantial portion of his wealth and properties to his girlfriend just days before he died in federal custody. Epstein signed the will on August 8, 2019, two days before he was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial. At the time, his estate was estimated to be worth around $288 million and included luxury real estate and assets spread across multiple countries. The document was formally signed by his attorney, Darren Indyke, eight days after Epstein’s death.&nbsp;Despite detailed instructions naming dozens of beneficiaries, the estate never paid out as intended.
