A new report by the Wall Street Journal claims that Jeffrey Epstein was a regular visitor to Mar-a-Lago. Despite his not paying a fee for Mar-a-Lago, he was treated “like one”. Several Mar-a-Lago staff have reportedly been sent to Jeffrey Epstein’s nearby residence for massages and spa services in the late 1990s and early 2000s. During those encounters, Epstein has reportedly come across as sexually suggestive behaviours and on numerous occasions exposed himself to young women during such visits. Epstein's associates, Ghislaine Maxwell, is said to have reportedly said to have used this arrangement to recruit spa workers for side jobs not authorised by the club.<h2>What led to Epstein's supposed ban from Mar-a-Lago?</h2>In 2003, an 18-year-old beautician who went to Epstein's residence reportedly came back and complained to the human resources team that she was pressured for sexual favours. The manager reportedly faxed Trump, relaying the information to which Trump reportedly said it was a good letter and appropriate to sever ties with Epstein. Trump has publicly said he broke with Epstein because he “stole” young workers from Mar-a-Lago, including Virginia Giuffre.&nbsp;The Journal claims that both continued to cross paths with each other and found themselves in direct competition for a Palm Beach property up for auction in late 2004. Trump reportedly won the bidding.&nbsp;“No matter how many times this story is told and retold, the truth remains: President Trump did nothing wrong, and he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for being a creep,” said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. She argues that the WSJ is “writing up fallacies and innuendo in order to smear President Trump.”

The Miami Herald investigative reporter, who is known for her reporting of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has found her flight details of an American Airlines flight in Epstein's files on the day Epstein was arrested. In a post on the social media platform, Julie called out the Department of Justice for why her flight details were present along with a grand jury subpoena. The flight date corresponds to the day Epstein was arrested by federal agents. He was charged with one count of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Does somebody at the DOJ want to tell me why my American Airlines booking information and flights in July 2019 are part of the Epstein files (attached to a grand jury subpoena)? As the flight itinerary includes my maiden name (and I did book this flight) why was the DOJ… <a href="https://t.co/m1mgP6pdgk">pic.twitter.com/m1mgP6pdgk</a>&mdash; julie k. brown (@jkbjournalist) <a href="https://twitter.com/jkbjournalist/status/2005374836881633511?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 28, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

In 2008, Epstein was convicted of sex trafficking of a minor. But he received a lenient sentence of 18 months in county prison. In prison, he was allotted a separate wing, and the door of the cell was always open. He would leave for 12 hours a day, six days a week, for work purposes. He was released after serving less than 13 months of that sentence. The deal also saw unconditional immunity for any possible coconspirator. The secret deal was struck between Alex Acosta, then United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and Epstein's lawyers Alan Dershowitz, Kenneth Starr, Roy Black, Jay Lefkowitz and Guy Lewis.&nbsp;Julie Knipe Brown's series of interviews with Epstein's victims in 2018, featured in the Miami Herald, has been credited with reactivating the investigation. She spoke to nearly 80 alleged victims of Epstein, as young as 13 or 14, during the time of abuse. Those interviews were collated and later published in her book “Perversion of Justice”. Her investigation led to the resignation of Alex Acosta in 2019, serving as the Labour Secretary for Donald Trump.&nbsp;Brown said she was expecting her name to appear in the Epstein files due to her extensive reporting on his crimes in South Florida; however, she was shocked to find her travel itinerary along with her maiden name. While some on social media argued that the DOJ subpoenaed the travel records of Epstein victims, and she might have booked a flight for a victim.&nbsp;

US President Donald Trump on Friday complained about the DOJ's focus on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He urged the department to release any documents naming the Democrats, to 'embarrass them'. He called the whole process a “Democrat inspired Hoax”, and it is turning attention away from the issues that are most important to them. In his Christmas Day Truth Social post, he alleged that “The Dems are the ones who worked with Epstein, not the Republicans.”“Release all of their names, embarrass them,” said Trump.The Justice Department trickled out some of the Epstein Files over the last week under the Epstein Transparency Act issued on November 19 by the President himself. Though did not provide any incriminating evidence on either Donald Trump or Bill Clinton, who have been repeatedly linked with the late sex trafficker. The release, however, gave an expansive view of the scale of the operations of Epstein.

"Now 1,000,000 more pages on Epstein have been found. DOJ is being forced to spend all of its time on this Democrat inspired Hoax. When do they say NO MORE, and work on Election Fraud etc." said Trump in a Truth Social post.The released documents have some of the FBI reports alleging about Trump's activities at his Mar-a-Lago, like hosting parties with prostitutes, rape allegations, and witness of murdering a baby, some of which the DOJ referred to as scandalous, have not been proven. The new release also had flight logs which mentioned Trump had flown in Epstein's jet &nbsp;“many more times”. Former US President Bill Clinton has also been pictured with numerous underage women whose faces were redacted. Clinton's spokesperson last week urged to release of "any remaining records" that have mentions of him or pictures of him. He said that Clinton has nothing to hide. Trump on Monday called the release a “terrible thing” that many people, like lawyers, bankers who have met Epstein once, will have their reputation tarnished.The legislation had set a deadline for thousands of documents to be made available by December 19. The DOJ's release was heavily redacted, underwhelming, and it had attracted bipartisan criticism. The DOJ is expected to release more over the coming weeks.

Donald Trump, frustrated with the DOJ's focus the Epstein files, urges the release of documents naming Democrats as more pages are discovered under the Transparency Act.

Sick of Epstein files redactions? Internet sleuths have discovered a hack to read almost EVERYTHING. Here's how

Among the newly released documents is a series of emails exchanged between Ghislaine Maxwell and an individual who signed off as “A” and used the alias “The Invisible Man.” The correspondence, dating back to August 2001, appears to place the sender at Balmoral, the Scottish estate of the British royal family. In one email, “A” writes to Maxwell: “I am up here at Balmoral Summer Camp for the Royal Family.” He follows it with a reference to Los Angeles and asks, “Have you found me some new inappropriate friends?” before suggesting a potential holiday between 25 August and 2 September, adding that he hoped to go “somewhere hot and sunny with some fun people” before returning to work commitments in the autumn.&nbsp;Maxwell responds cautiously, telling him, “So sorry to disappoint you; however, the truth must be told. I have only been able to find appropriate friends.” The exchange continues with “A” replying “Distraught!” and describing personal upheaval following the loss of his valet and his departure from the Royal Navy, which he refers to as the “RN”. He writes that his life is “in turmoil” and asks Maxwell for advice on how to “get my mind back on track,” signing off affectionately and adding: “See you real soon… I hope if you are coming over.” The message ends with the sign-off “A xxx”.&nbsp;Prince Andrew, whose full name is Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, left the Royal Navy in 2001. While the emails do not explicitly identify the sender, the details contained within them, including the reference to Balmoral, the timing, and the signature, have led to widespread speculation about his identity. There is no suggestion that the emails themselves indicate criminal wrongdoing.<h2>‘Two-legged sightseeing’: Emails referencing travel and girls</h2>Further correspondence from early 2002 appears to show Maxwell involved in arranging travel and social activities for “The Invisible Man,” including a proposed trip to Peru. In a February 2002 exchange, Maxwell forwards messages from a contact, Juan Estoban Ganoza, outlining possible sightseeing plans such as visiting the Nazca Lines. In one relayed email, Ganoza asks bluntly: “About the girls… how old is he?” In response, “The Invisible Man” tells Maxwell: “As for girls, well, I leave that entirely to you and Juan Estoban!”&nbsp;A follow-up message from Maxwell’s Peruvian contact expands on the plans, referring to “some sightseeing, some 2-legged sightseeing (read intelligent, pretty fun, and from good families)” and assuring Maxwell that discretion would be maintained. The message adds that the individual involved did not want to read about the trip in the press or see reports about whom he met. Prince Andrew undertook an official visit to Peru in March 2002, during which he was photographed in Lima, including with firefighters. Again, there is no suggestion in the released emails of criminal conduct, though the language used has drawn renewed scrutiny given Maxwell’s later conviction for sex trafficking-related offences. Buckingham Palace and Mountbatten-Windsor have been approached for comment.<h2>Trump responds as Epstein files reference him repeatedly</h2>The latest release of nearly 30,000 additional pages of Epstein-related documents also contains numerous references to Donald Trump, prompting the US president to publicly respond for the first time since the Justice Department began releasing the material. Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump expressed concern that individuals who had “innocently met” Epstein could see their reputations damaged. “Everybody was friendly with this guy,” Trump said, adding that he did not like seeing photographs of former President Bill Clinton and others resurfacing. “You ruin the reputation of somebody,” he said, arguing that being pictured with Epstein did not imply wrongdoing.&nbsp;However, the documents include an internal email from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, dated 7 January 2020, which states that flight records showed Trump travelling on Epstein’s private jet more frequently than previously reported. According to the email, Trump is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including several journeys on which Maxwell was also present. The records indicate that Trump travelled at various times with Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric. One flight allegedly listed only Trump and Epstein as passengers; another included Epstein, Trump, and a 20-year-old woman whose name was redacted.&nbsp;The document also notes that two women listed on separate flights would have been potential witnesses in the case against Maxwell. There is no indication in the files that these flights involved criminal activity, and inclusion in the documents does not imply guilt. In a statement accompanying the release, the Department of Justice said some material includes “untrue and sensationalist claims” submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 US election. The department stated that allegations against Trump were “unfounded and false” and said that, had they been credible, they would have already been used against him.<h2>Fake Epstein jail video was also included, later removed</h2>Included in the latest batch of files released overnight by the US Department of Justice was a now-deleted video that falsely appeared to show Jeffrey Epstein attempting to take his own life inside his prison cell. The 12-second clip, time-stamped 4.29 am on 10 August 2019, was uploaded without context and briefly circulated before being taken down.&nbsp;Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York at 6.30 am that morning, with his death later ruled a suicide. However, a separate document released alongside the files revealed that the video was not authentic. Investigators flagged it as a years-old fake clip that had previously circulated on the internet message board 4chan and was later promoted by a Florida-based conspiracy theorist.&nbsp;Several inconsistencies were noted, including the prison cell door in the video, which does not match Epstein’s actual cell. A Trump administration official also confirmed to the New York Post that the footage was fake and had been available on YouTube for years before resurfacing in the DOJ release. The episode has added to concerns around the uncontextualised release of thousands of pages of Epstein-related material. As the justice department continues to make documents public without accompanying explanations, it underscores the difficulty of verifying claims and reinforces that inclusion in the files does not, by itself, establish wrongdoing.

In one relayed email, Ganoza asks bluntly: “About the girls… how old is he?” In response, “The Invisible Man” tells Maxwell: “As for girls, well, I leave that entirely to you and Juan Estoban!” A follow-up message from Maxwell’s Peruvian contact expands on the plans, referring to “some sightseeing, some 2-legged sightseeing (read intelligent, pretty fun, and from good families)” and assuring Maxwell that discretion would be maintained. The message adds that the individual involved did not want to read about the trip in the press or see reports about whom he met. Prince Andrew undertook an official visit to Peru in March 2002, during which he was photographed in Lima, including with firefighters. Again, there is no suggestion in the released emails of criminal conduct, though the language used has drawn renewed scrutiny given Maxwell’s later conviction for sex trafficking-related offences. Buckingham Palace and Mountbatten-Windsor have been approached for comment. Trump responds as Epstein files reference him repeatedly The latest release of nearly 30,000 additional pages of Epstein-related documents also contains numerous references to Donald Trump, prompting the US president to publicly respond for the first time since the Justice Department began releasing the material. Speaking at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida, Trump expressed concern that individuals who had “innocently met” Epstein could see their reputations damaged. “Everybody was friendly with this guy,” Trump said, adding that he did not like seeing photographs of former President Bill Clinton and others resurfacing. “You ruin the reputation of somebody,” he said, arguing that being pictured with Epstein did not imply wrongdoing. However, the documents include an internal email from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, dated 7 January 2020, which states that flight records showed Trump travelling on Epstein’s private jet more frequently than previously reported. According to the email, Trump is listed as a passenger on at least eight flights between 1993 and 1996, including several journeys on which Maxwell was also present. The records indicate that Trump travelled at various times with Marla Maples, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Eric. One flight allegedly listed only Trump and Epstein as passengers; another included Epstein, Trump, and a 20-year-old woman whose name was redacted. The document also notes that two women listed on separate flights would have been potential witnesses in the case against Maxwell. There is no indication in the files that these flights involved criminal activity, and inclusion in the documents does not imply guilt. In a statement accompanying the release, the Department of Justice said some material includes “untrue and sensationalist claims” submitted to the FBI shortly before the 2020 US election. The department stated that allegations against Trump were “unfounded and false” and said that, had they been credible, they would have already been used against him. Fake Epstein jail video was also included, later removed Included in the latest batch of files released overnight by the US Department of Justice was a now-deleted video that falsely appeared to show Jeffrey Epstein attempting to take his own life inside his prison cell. The 12-second clip, time-stamped 4.29 am on 10 August 2019, was uploaded without context and briefly circulated before being taken down. Epstein was found dead in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York at 6.30 am that morning, with his death later ruled a suicide. However, a separate document released alongside the files revealed that the video was not authentic. Investigators flagged it as a years-old fake clip that had previously circulated on the internet message board 4chan and was later promoted by a Florida-based conspiracy theorist. Several inconsistencies were noted, including the prison cell door in the video, which does not match Epstein’s actual cell. A Trump administration official also confirmed to the New York Post that the footage was fake and had been available on YouTube for years before resurfacing in the DOJ release. The episode has added to concerns around the uncontextualised release of thousands of pages of Epstein-related material. As the justice department continues to make documents public without accompanying explanations, it underscores the difficulty of verifying claims and reinforces that inclusion in the files does not, by itself, establish wrongdoing.

The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has faced intense criticism, particularly from Democratic lawmakers, for its slow pace in releasing records related to the investigation into the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The release, which includes hundreds of videos and audio recordings, comes after months of delay and redaction, frustrating both victims and advocates. Among the newly disclosed material is surveillance footage from August 2019, the month Epstein was found dead in his jail cell while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.&nbsp;While the DOJ posted around 11,000 links to new documents online, some of them led to dead links, raising further questions about transparency. Victims' groups, already frustrated with the process, have pointed out that the files released were only a fraction of the expected documents and were heavily redacted without clear explanations.&nbsp;Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/crimes-of-do-kwon-freefall-of-south-korean-crypto-genius-fugitive-life-forged-passport-and-15-years-in-jail-terrausd-luna-ust-1766483420813">Crimes of Do Kwon: Freefall of South Korean crypto genius - fugitive life, forged passports and 15 years in jail</a>&nbsp;In response, bipartisan sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (EFTA), including Democrats like Ro Khanna and Republicans such as Thomas Massie, have threatened legal action against Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing her of failing to comply with the law, which required the release of all relevant files by last Friday (December 19).&nbsp;Adding to the controversy, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer introduced a resolution on Monday (December 22), calling for legal action against the administration for its failure to fully comply with the mandate.

Though Trump had initially sought to block the release of these files, he eventually signed the law under pressure from Congress, ensuring the public disclosure of the records despite having no personal involvement in the case.

Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has filed a new lawsuit seeking to overturn her convictions and be released from prison, according to court records made public on Wednesday (Dec 17).

‘I didn’t get a fair trial’: Jeffrey Epstein’s ex-associate Ghislaine Maxwell claims ‘collusion’, asks court to free her

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson slammed House Democrats for “selectively releasing cherry-picked photos” related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

‘False narrative’: White House slams House Dems over ‘cherry-picked’ Epstein photos released

US President Donald Trump shrugged off the new photos released from Jeffrey Epstein files by House Democrats on Friday (Dec 12). The pictures also included Trump with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who died of an apparent suicide in prison during his trial. This comes after the House Oversight Committee released dozens of images amid the 95,000 files, with many featuring Epstein with several prominent figures, including the US president. The release of new documents and photos come after Trump signed a bill last month ordering the public release of files regarding the Epstein case.“I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over, actually,” Trump said on Friday. “I haven’t seen it, but, I mean, everybody knew this man. He was all over Palm Beach. He has photos with everybody. I mean, there are hundreds and hundreds of people that have photos with him. So that’s no big deal. I know nothing about.”Trump can be seen in three of the undated images released by the Democrats.

‘No big deal’: Trump brushes off new Epstein photos, claims he ‘knows nothing’

A federal judge in New York has ruled that the US Department of Justice can publicly release grand jury records from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case. In the ruling, US District Judge Richard Berman has reversed his previous decision to keep the material sealed, citing a new law passed by Congress requiring the Justice Department to release files about Epstein. “The Court hereby grants the Government’s motion in accordance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act and with the unequivocal right of Epstein victims to have their identity and privacy protected,” he wrote in the four-page ruling. He explained that he agreed with attorneys for Epstein survivors, who he said wrote to the court to say that disclosure “CANNOT come at the expense of the privacy, safety, and protection of sexual abuse and sex trafficking victims.”&nbsp;Berman also referenced language from the law that laid out the type of personal material that should be withheld, including survivors’ personal and medical files. It’s unclear when the materials will be released.

US judge orders release of Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records from 2019 sex trafficking case

A US federal judge on Friday (Dec 5) ordered the release of grand jury transcripts from the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in Florida. This comes after US President Donald Trump signed a bill last month ordering the public release of documents regarding the Epstein case, following which the Justice Department had requested their unsealing.Prior request of the Justice Department to release the transcripts of grand jury proceedings, which are typically kept secret, from Epstein’s Florida case was rebuffed. However, on Friday, US District Judge Rodney Smith ruled that the Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates the release of the documents.Epstein was charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution in Florida and pleaded guilty to the offence in 2008. In 2019, the wealthy financier was arrested on charges of sex trafficking of minors in New York. He died during pre-trial detention, and his death was ruled a suicide.The Justice Department is also seeking the release of files related to the New York case and investigation of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting underage girls for Epstein.Trump, who once shared a close friendship with Epstein, had attempted to prevent the release of the documents. However, following mounting pressure from Congress, he signed a law on November 19, ordering the release of the materials to the public.Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials” in possession of the Justice Department, the FBI, and US attorneys’ offices related to Epstein and Maxwell are to be released within 30 days.Before signing the law, Trump slammed Democrats for pushing the “hoax” in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform following allegations that released emails written by the disgraced financier suggested that Trump “knew about the girls” – a claim the Republican denied.“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,’” Trump wrote.The 79-year-old president added that the Department of Justice has already started going through tens of thousands of pages and is looking at “various Democrat operatives”, including Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, and Larry Summers, and their relationship with Epstein.

Hillary Clinton is ready to part ways with her husband Bill Clinton in a $90 million divorce to "save her own skin". Bill Clinton's history with the famous sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein had been no secret; he had allegedly flown to his private island in his private jet, often called by the name “Lolita Express”. Hillary Clinton is quite shaken up by Bill's relationship with Epstein, sources close to the former Secretary of State said to Radar Online. Bill and Hillary had been married since 1975.&nbsp;&nbsp;“Hillary knows that once the House Oversight Committee and the DOJ investigations get going, and the FBI releases additional Epstein files, she is going to be humiliated,” said Leon Wagener, Presidential Historian, “She’s prepared to protect herself and her legacy - even if it means turning over damaging information about Bill’s involvement with Epstein.”&nbsp;James Comer, a Kentucky Congresswoman, suggests that walls are closing in on Bill Clinton. "The people around Hillary say she's finished with him and out for blood,” said another source close to Hillary Clinton as quoted by Radar Online.&nbsp;Hillary, 78, is "bracing for the worst" after President Trump ordered the release of all "unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials" &nbsp;related to Jeffrey Epstein. Experts suggest Hillary Clinton could boot her husband by providing details such as the “Lolita Express” logs, “child‑like curiosity” birthday note, island visit rumours and the Ghislaine Maxwell link to show that she is cooperating to salvage her political legacy.<h2>Bill Clinton and Jeffrey Epstein's relationship</h2>In his memoir Citizen, Bill said that he laments over his relationship with the late sex offender and wishes he had never met him. The relation between the two had spanned more than a decade. Bill was once photographed with a 22-year-old massage therapist pressing her hand on his chest.&nbsp;"He hurt a lot of people, but I knew nothing about it, and by the time he was first arrested in 2005, I had stopped contact with him. I’ve never visited his island," said Bill.Bill has vehemently denied ever being on the island. Virginia Giuffre, in her accounts, earlier claimed that Bill was there, but later backtracked. Ghislaine Maxwell had also denied such claims. Bill had been publicly documented with Epstein on several occasions, reportedly for philanthropic reasons. Epstein is also a donor to the Clinton Foundation. Clinton has been subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to testify in October and November.

Hillary Clinton's $90 mn divorce over Bill Clinton's Jeffrey Epstein connection

US lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, a former ally of US President Donald Trump, on Friday (Nov 21) announced that she was resigning from her seat in the House of Representatives amid the row over the Jeffrey Epstein scandal and some other issues. This comes a week after Trump pulled his support for the former staunch ally, branding her a “traitor” and “wacky”&nbsp;“I will be resigning from office with my last day being January 5, 2026,” Greene said in a statement on X. “Standing up for American women who were raped at 14, trafficked and used by rich powerful men should not result in me being called a traitor and threatened by the President of the United States, whom I fought for.”&nbsp;Greene added that she did not want her family and supporters to go through “a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms.”

The move comes amid growing debate among MAGAs over the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Democratic victories in this month’s elections, including Zohran Mamdani’s win in the New York mayoral elections, have also been a huge blow to Republicans.&nbsp;Greene, previously a big supporter of Trump, had been advocating for the release of the so-called Epstein files, over which she distanced herself from the US president. Earlier this week, Congress passed and Trump signed a law requiring government records on the millionaire sex predator to be made public. Trump, who had earlier made efforts to prevent the release of the documents, withdrew his support for “Wacky Marjorie”, slamming her as a “lightweight” and a “traitor” to the Republican Party.

‘Always been despised in Washington’: Key Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene resigns over Epstein files

Larry Summers, who stepped down from his teaching duties at Harvard University on Wednesday amid news of his ties with Jeffrey Epstein, &nbsp;visited the late sex offender’s notorious island on at least three occasions, including for his honeymoon, reports suggest. Summers is a former Treasury Secretary and ex-president of Harvard. Flight records show that they flew from Massachusetts on the convicted billionaire paedophile’s jet with Ghislaine Maxwell, The Harvard Crimson reported Thursday. Summers and his wife, Elisa F. New, travelled to Saint James aboard the infamous “Lolita Express”. “Mr Summers and Ms New spent their honeymoon in St. John and Jamaica in December 2005, which was long before Mr Epstein was arrested for the first time,” a spokesperson for Summers told the publication. “As part of that trip, they made a brief visit of less than a day to Mr Epstein’s island.”Also Read: <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/former-harvard-president-larry-summers-goes-on-leave-as-university-probes-epstein-links-1763635713439">Former Harvard president Larry Summers goes ‘on leave’ as university probes Epstein links</a> &nbsp;<h2>Larry Summers visited the Caribbean island three more times</h2>This happened six months after an investigation was initiated into Epstein for the rape of a 14-year-old girl. His mansion was also searched in October 2005. Summers' trip to the Caribbean island came on December 21, 2005. Besides this, he also took Epstein’s jet on three other occasions, during which time he was serving as Harvard’s president. This is the same jet that was allegedly used to ferry victims and accomplices in his sex trafficking rings. While Summers remains away from Harvard, the university will start an investigation into the links between faculty members and the disgraced financier, a spokesman for the school confirmed to the campus newspaper on Wednesday. Harvard is "conducting a review of information concerning individuals at Harvard included in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents to evaluate what actions may be warranted."&nbsp;Summers led the elite university between 2001 and 2006 and was a tenured economics professor there since 1983. He was also Bill Clinton’s former Treasury secretary from 1999 to 2001. Following uproar over his relations with Epstein, he also resigned from the board of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, on Wednesday. "In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI," said Summers, who joined the OpenAI board in November 2023.&nbsp;https://www.wionews.com/videos/epstein-scandal-pam-bondi-pledges-maximum-transparency-1763700792468/embed<h2>Summers talked to Epstein about a woman he liked</h2>The ghosts of Summer’s past tumbled out of the closet after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released over 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate.

One of the emails had them talking about a woman Summers was interested in.

Larry Summers visited Epstein's notorious island with his wife for their honeymoon, and then on three more occasions, according to The Harvard Crimson. Flight logs show he also went there three other times and corresponded with Epstein via email about a woman he was interested in.

New, travelled to Saint James aboard the infamous “Lolita Express”. “Mr Summers and Ms New spent their honeymoon in St. John and Jamaica in December 2005, which was long before Mr Epstein was arrested for the first time,” a spokesperson for Summers told the publication. “As part of that trip, they made a brief visit of less than a day to Mr Epstein’s island.” Also Read: Former Harvard president Larry Summers goes ‘on leave’ as university probes Epstein links Larry Summers visited the Caribbean island three more times This happened six months after an investigation was initiated into Epstein for the rape of a 14-year-old girl. His mansion was also searched in October 2005. Summers' trip to the Caribbean island came on December 21, 2005. Besides this, he also took Epstein’s jet on three other occasions, during which time he was serving as Harvard’s president. This is the same jet that was allegedly used to ferry victims and accomplices in his sex trafficking rings. While Summers remains away from Harvard, the university will start an investigation into the links between faculty members and the disgraced financier, a spokesman for the school confirmed to the campus newspaper on Wednesday. Harvard is "conducting a review of information concerning individuals at Harvard included in the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents to evaluate what actions may be warranted." Summers led the elite university between 2001 and 2006 and was a tenured economics professor there since 1983. He was also Bill Clinton’s former Treasury secretary from 1999 to 2001. Following uproar over his relations with Epstein, he also resigned from the board of OpenAI, the company that created ChatGPT, on Wednesday. "In line with my announcement to step away from my public commitments, I have also decided to resign from the board of OpenAI," said Summers, who joined the OpenAI board in November 2023. https://www.wionews.com/videos/epstein-scandal-pam-bondi-pledges-maximum-transparency-1763700792468/embed Summers talked to Epstein about a woman he liked The ghosts of Summer’s past tumbled out of the closet after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee released over 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein’s estate.
