Edmond de Rothschild private bank says it is working to protects the interests of its clients amid scrutiny over frequent contact between dead sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the bank’s current boss, Ariane de Rothschild.

After links between the two were exposed by the release of Epstein’s emails, the bank said in a statement on Wednesday that its board of directors is “closely monitoring the situation”, according to the Reuters news agency.

The bank has also taken the “necessary measures to protect the interests of its clients, employees and shareholders”, it said.

Clintons wanted to testify publicly if they were going to be forced to participate. Comer did not grant them that.
Boebert is now leaking photographs in real time.
Deposition currently paused as lawyers confer, Clinton is objecting to the leak if press is not allowed in.

The Justice Department is under fire after newly released Jeffrey Epstein case materials reportedly included unredacted nude images and photos involving minors.

Analysis by CNN uncovered nearly 100 explicit pictures of two naked young women on a beach, the news outlet reported. The materials also included photos showing a young girl kissing Epstein on the cheek. At least one unredacted image depicted Epstein alongside a nude female, and additional selfie-style nude photos of at least two other unidentified females were also published, with their ages unclear, according to CNN.

Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which Congress passed and President Trump signed in late November, the DOJ is obligated to omit sexually explicit imagery and anything that might identify victims.

Clinton told the congressional committee that she had no information about Epstein's crimes, never recalled encountering him and had never visited his island or flown on his plane, accusing the panel of trying to "protect one public official": Trump.

Clinton challenged the panel, saying, "if this committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein's trafficking crimes (...) it would ask [Trump] directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files.

Police are now investigating whether Epstein’s victims were transported on his private jet to commercial airports in Britain as well as to Royal Air Force Northolt, a base that plays a central role in the country’s defense. Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister, has asked military authorities and the Metropolitan Police to examine whether Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used the RAF base to carry out flights linked to Epstein.

The documents also show that Epstein’s associates arranged flights from Heathrow Airport to New York for a Russian woman whose name was redacted from the records a month before his arrest. The flight departed June 1, 2019, with the return flight eight days later. After The Telegraph asked Epstein’s representatives whether Andrew had helped arrange the landing, Epstein contacted his pilot, Larry Visoski, and then emailed his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, writing: “I spoke with Larry, it is true.

The Justice Department said Thursday that it is examining whether it wrongly withheld FBI files that contained allegations against President Donald Trump in its release of millions of pages from the investigatory files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Three summaries of interviews the FBI conducted in 2019 with a woman who had accused Trump of sexually assaulting her are missing from the files, multiple news outlets have reported. The woman had accused Trump of sexually assaulting her decades earlier while she was a minor. No evidence has emerged publicly to corroborate that accusation.

The Justice Department will look into whether it improperly withheld FBI files that contained allegations against President Donald Trump in its release of millions of pages of investigative files it released recently related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to media reports.

What specific allegations are detailed in the missing 302 reports?
Three summaries of interviews the FBI conducted in 2019 with a woman who had accused Trump of sexually assaulting her appear to be missing from the "Epstein Library" files released to the public in recent months, according to independent journalist Roger Sollenberger, NPR and other news outlets.

"I apologize, but under state law I can't divulge any information without written consent from the client or his estate," Kiraly said.

Epstein's team fought to keep computers from FBI
The FBI believed a private investigator near Miami named Paul Lavery took the three computers and gave them to Bill Riley, a private investigator with the firm Riley Kiraly. An email from Riley to Epstein confirmed it.

"Over the weekend I learned that plaintiff's counsel are looking to get from me the computers and paperwork I ⁠took from Jeff's house prior to the Search Warrant," Riley wrote, the email among the thousands recently produced by the Justice Department. "I have them locked in storage and would like to know what to do with ⁠them

"If the majority was serious, it would not waste time on fishing expeditions," Clinton told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee during a deposition at the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center near her home in suburban New York. "What is being held back? Who is being protected? And why the cover-up?"

Rep. James Comer, R-Kentucky, who is leading the inquiry, said lawmakers wanted to learn more about how Epstein raised his money and how he accumulated a social network of rich and powerful men. He said lawmakers would ask why Epstein raised money for the Clinton family foundation and why his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, attended her daughter's wedding.

“No one is accusing, at this moment, the Clintons of wrongdoing,” Comer told reporters before the deposition. “But we have a lot of questions.

But only one of the law enforcement officials involved had appeared before the committee, Ms Clinton said.

She said the committee had held zero public hearings "despite espousing the need for transparency" and had made "little effort to call the people who show up most prominently in the Epstein files".

Ms Clinton said the committee's "institutional failure is designed to protect one political party and one public official, rather than to seek truth and justice for the victims and survivors".

Justice Department Exposed Cooperating Witnesses in Epstein Files

The disclosure is the latest example of how the urgent push to release the files led to the government publicizing information it would normally keep under wraps.

www.nytimes.com

The simple words, “proffer at 500,” amounted to a sign that seven of the defendants listed on two 2019 documents released in the files were either cooperating with federal prosecutors or seeking to do so.

And in fact, several of the men whose names appeared with that phrase on the internal documents did cooperate, after talking to prosecutors in what are known as proffer sessions at 500 Pearl Street, the address of the federal district courthouse in Manhattan.

By failing to redact the names of those seven people, who were being held at the Manhattan jail where Mr. Epstein was awaiting trial, the government may have put them in harm’s way. The disclosure of the names could also send a chilling message to anyone else considering whether to cooperate with the authorities.

Clinton speaks to the press after her House Committee appearance.

She said it was mostly unproductive, repetitive questions, and that one member asked her about UFOs and pizzagate. Sadly, I couldn't even guess which member that was because there are too many likely candidates. moo

Speaking of “girls,” here is another famous Chopra to Epstein email: “God is a construct. Cute girls are real.” That friendly message played a major role in this week’s “Crossroads” podcast, in which we discussed the meager mainstream press coverage connecting the dots between these two men in the digital black hole that journalists and politicos call the “Epstein files.”

Here are some relevant questions: Is it accurate to call Chopra a “religious leader”? It’s clear that he was considered an important moral and religious voice in mainstream news and entertainment media (surf this file of Chopra material on CNN). That said, did his connections to Epstein receive the level of news coverage that would have been granted to similar shady doings by, let’s say, a famous Christian apologist or the televangelists of old? Hold that thought.

It’s also important that this unconventional religious leader’s social ties to Epstein continued long after the financier became a convicted sex offender, after he pled guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl.

Former President Bill Clinton was set to tell the House Oversight Committee in testimony about Jeffrey Epstein that “I saw nothing and I did nothing wrong” during their times flying together or socializing

First, I had no idea of the crimes Epstein was committing,” Clinton planned to say during his closed-door deposition, which was underway in Chappaqua, New York.

“No matter how many photos you show me, I have two things that at the end of the day matter more than your interpretation of those 20-year-old photos. I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see,” Clinton said to say.

“I know what I did, and more importantly, what I didn’t do,” he planned to say. “I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong.”

“As someone who grew up in a home with domestic abuse, not only would I not have flown on his plane if I had any inkling of what he was doing — I would have turned him in myself and led the call for justice for his crimes, not sweetheart deals,” Clinton planned to say.

“But even with 20/20 hindsight, I saw nothing that ever gave me pause.”
