Investigative reporting on the Epstein case. Every claim cites specific documents from our corpus of 1.6 million court filings, depositions, and government records.
On June 28, 2008, Ruslana Korshunova fell from the ninth floor of a Manhattan building. She was 20 years old. Two years earlier, she had boarded Jeffrey Epstein's private jet bound for Little Saint James. The man who would handle her estate paperwork at the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg went on to become Epstein's most prolific procurer of young women.
Mainstream coverage of the Trump-Epstein connection fixates on a handful of familiar data points: the 2002 quote, the Mar-a-Lago ban, the Jane Doe lawsuit. But buried across 3,932 documents in the EFTA release are at least seven evidence threads that have received little to no press attention.
Brad Wechsler asked Apollo staff to keep Jeffrey Epstein copied on tax materials for all three co-founders' family offices — not just Leon Black's. The instruction, uncovered by the Senate Finance Committee, reveals Epstein's role at Apollo extended far beyond his $158 million relationship with Black.
David Mullen spent 14 months as Jeffrey Epstein's private chef, living in his properties and flying on his jets. When the FBI interviewed him in 2006, he described seeing 4-5 teenage girls arriving at Epstein's Palm Beach estate every day for 'massages.' His testimony is among the most detailed firsthand accounts of daily life inside Epstein's operation.
Among the 3.5 million pages released in the DOJ's EFTA document dump, one name surfaces more than almost any other — not a president, a prince, or a professor. David Mitchell, a mid-tier NYC real estate developer, is linked to 9,600 documents. This investigation follows the money.
Christmas Day 2017 emails show Epstein reassuring Mottola — "You are safe" — after the music mogul panicked over a victims' attorney, then fabricated a cover story for his wife. Nearly 800 documents trace years of gifts, visits, and architectural plans.
DOJ-released EFTA documents contain email exchanges between Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein spanning 2009 to 2012. The correspondence, now part of the public record, includes references to social engagements, property arrangements, and business introductions that have prompted a UK Metropolitan Police investigation.
EFTA emails reveal a May 2018 dinner at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse planned for Ehud Barak, Steve Bannon, with an invitation extended to Noam Chomsky — three figures from opposite ends of the political spectrum, all connected through a convicted sex trafficker.
Darren Indyke, the attorney who controlled the movement of Jeffrey Epstein's funds across 140 bank accounts and $1.3 billion in flagged wire transfers, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee on March 5, 2026. He has never faced criminal charges.
DOJ documents reveal Epstein ran a recruitment pipeline through Russian and Ukrainian modeling agencies, maintained connections to FSB-linked officials, and pursued relationships with Kremlin-adjacent oligarchs while the DEA tracked $50 million in suspicious wire transfers.
Leon Black paid Jeffrey Epstein at least $170 million through Virgin Islands shell companies called Southern Trust and Financial Trust. But the money did not flow in a single stream. Harvard wire transfers routed through Martin Nowak, back-to-back scheduling blocks with Epstein's other contacts, FBI witness reports alleging abuse, and a Senate investigation that found $12 million more than Apollo's own review revealed a relationship built on far more than financial advice.
A systematic review of thousands of pages of DOJ-released documents reveals Peter Mandelson did not simply know Jeffrey Epstein. He served as Epstein's personal intermediary to Oleg Deripaska, arranged a Russian visa through Deripaska's office, coordinated strategy around the Prince Andrew scandal, exchanged messages about an upcoming EUR 500 billion bailout while serving in cabinet, and provided confidential political intelligence. Bank transfers, dozens of personal emails, scheduling notes, and financial records for his partner confirm a relationship far deeper than Mandelson has publicly acknowledged.
