As of this writing, survivors of abuse by Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, were, in fact, planning to hold a news conference on Sept. 3, as Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., first announced in Aug. 11 social media posts. In those posts, Massie and Khanna said they would speak at the event about their co-sponsored bill to release the so-called "Epstein files."
President Trump’s former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta will testify in front of a House Oversight panel next month about brokering a plea deal with the dead serial sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Acosta was the former U.S. attorney for South Florida when he offered a nonprosecution agreement to Epstein back in 2008, allowing him to plead guilty to a single state charge, which ended the FBI’s investigation without federal charges. In his first term, Trump appointed Acosta as labor secretary; he was forced to resign in 2019 following criticism of his handling of Epstein’s plea deal.
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has subpoenaed the executors of Jeffrey Epstein's estate for records that may include the alleged "birthday book," a document said to list high-profile names linked to the late financier. The request marks an escalation of the panel's investigation into how federal authorities handled Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
A Miami federal judge has rejected an attempt by an artificial intelligence company to file an unsolicited legal analysis in President Donald Trump's defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent companies, and News Corp founder Rupert Murdoch. In an August 25 order, U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles denied a motion from Mindcast AI LLC, which had sought to submit an 8,500-word amicus curiae brief. The company said its analysis could help the court identify "systematic litigation manipulation patterns" in the case.
