October 11 Mega Edition: Ted Waitt And The Transcript From His Epstein Related Trip To Congress (Part 1-3) (10/10/26)
Ted Waitt told the House Oversight Committee that he met Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein at a Hong Kong dinner in November 2003 and began dating Maxwell the following year, remaining in a relationship with her until September 2010. Waitt portrayed his own contact with Epstein as extremely limited, saying he had only a brief introduction at the dinner, one arranged meeting at Maxwell’s New York residence and two later chance encounters. He said he never communicated with Epstein by phone or email and had no business or financial relationship with him. Waitt testified that Maxwell described Epstein positively as a brilliant investor and money manager and told him that, after their romantic relationship ended, she continued working as an estate manager overseeing his properties and staff.

Waitt said he wanted Maxwell to stop working for Epstein because Epstein was her former boyfriend, but claimed he had no knowledge at the time of their criminal conduct and never witnessed abuse, coercion or trafficking. He repeatedly said he could not confirm how much work Maxwell continued doing for Epstein while they dated, despite their seven-year relationship, and he denied knowing whether Epstein manipulated or abused her. Waitt also acknowledged that Maxwell had been around his four children, three of whom were girls, and said that had he known then what he knows now, he never would have befriended her or allowed her near them. His testimony largely presented him as someone who was intimately involved with Maxwell for years while remaining unaware of the reality of her relationship with Epstein and the crimes for which she was later convicted.

October 11 Murder In Moscow: The Alternative Perpetrator Motion And Inconclusive Data Motion In Limine
In Case No. CR01-24-31665, the defense filed Motion in Limine #5 titled "Re: Inconclusive Data," seeking to exclude certain evidence deemed inconclusive. The court granted the defense's request to seal this motion, as indicated in an order dated March 3, 2025. Consequently, the specific details and arguments presented in the motion are not publicly accessible.

In Case No. CR01-24-31665, the State filed a Motion in Limine on February 21, 2025, to restrict the defense from introducing or arguing alternative perpetrator evidence without first meeting specific relevance and admissibility standards as outlined in the Idaho Rules of Evidence (I.R.E.) 401, 402, and 403. The State contends that during the investigation, thousands of tips regarding possible perpetrators were received, but none, except those related to the defendant, were substantiated. Allowing the defense to present alternative perpetrator theories without concrete evidence directly connecting others to the homicides could mislead and confuse the jury, result in undue delays, waste time, and unfairly prejudice the State's case.

October 11 Murder In Moscow: Criminologist Casey Jordan Gives Her Take On The Murders
Casey Jordan argued early on that the Moscow murders looked less like a spontaneous crime of passion and more like the work of an organized offender acting out a violent fantasy. She said the lack of an obvious motive, the nighttime entry into the house, the use of a knife, the absence of an immediately identified suspect and the killer’s ability to leave the scene all suggested planning rather than an impulsive eruption. After Bryan Kohberger’s arrest, Jordan said that theory fit even more closely with what investigators were alleging, especially given his criminology background. She described the killings as “overkill,” but said that did not necessarily mean they were driven by personal rage against the victims; in her view, the excessive violence could instead point to someone trying to satisfy an internal fantasy or need for bloodletting.

Jordan later went further and rejected the popular theory that Kohberger killed because he wanted to be part of the victims’ social circle and was rejected. She instead framed the murders as potentially consistent with an incel-type grievance rooted in sexual and social isolation, powerlessness and resentment toward women. She pointed to reports about Kohberger’s lack of meaningful romantic relationships and theorized that he may have selected the King Road house because it provided an opportunity to watch and approach the victims rather than because he personally knew them. Jordan has consistently treated the crime as fantasy-driven and predatory, not simply as retaliation against one particular victim. That remains her interpretation rather than an established motive, and authorities have never publicly identified a definitive motive for the murders.

October 11 Judge Rules Search Warrants Used Against Prince Andrew Were Unlawful (10/10/26)
A London High Court judge ruled that the search warrants used by Thames Valley Police to raid the homes of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly Prince Andrew, were unlawful because police sought them under the wrong section of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. The warrants were executed in February 2026 after Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office tied to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, with police searching properties at Sandringham and Windsor and seizing documents, computers and other material. Justice Nicholas Hilliard said the applications contained a significant legal error because some of the material being sought potentially fell into categories requiring a different warrant procedure. Andrew’s lawyers challenged the searches through judicial review, and police ultimately accepted that the warrants should be quashed.

The ruling was a meaningful legal victory for Andrew, but it did not end the criminal investigation or amount to a finding that the underlying allegations were unfounded. Police said their investigation into possible misconduct in public office remains active, and the High Court specifically emphasized that invalidating the warrants did not invalidate the investigation itself. The next major fight concerns what happens to the material police seized under those unlawful warrants: authorities are seeking permission to retain at least some of it, with further proceedings expected to determine whether it can still be lawfully used. The investigation grew out of renewed scrutiny of Andrew’s dealings with Epstein while Andrew served as Britain’s trade envoy, including allegations stemming from released Epstein-related records that he shared sensitive or official information with Epstein. Andrew has denied wrongdoing and has not been charged.

October 10 Epstein Survivor Annie Farmer Calls on Ohio State to Remove Wexner’s Name (10/10/26)
Jeffrey Epstein survivor Annie Farmer has joined the campaign to remove Les Wexner’s name from buildings at Ohio State University, aligning herself with survivors of former OSU team doctor Richard Strauss, who sexually abused hundreds of students. Farmer argued that the continued presence of Wexner’s name on university facilities is especially troubling given his long relationship with Epstein and his role on Ohio State’s Board of Trustees during the years Strauss was abusing students. Farmer’s sister, Maria Farmer, has alleged that Epstein abused her at Wexner’s New Albany estate in 1996, and Annie said she has long found it difficult to believe Wexner was unaware of Epstein’s conduct, pointing to the depth of their personal and financial relationship. Wexner has denied knowing about any abuse of Maria Farmer and has not been criminally charged in connection with Epstein.

The push has put renewed pressure on Ohio State, which is still reviewing hundreds of requests to remove the Wexner name from campus facilities, including the Wexner Medical Center and the Les Wexner Football Complex. Farmer also criticized the university’s years-long legal fight with Strauss survivors, noting the bitter irony that students who suffer sexual assault are directed to a medical center carrying Wexner’s name. Strauss survivors Michael DiSabato and Al Washington Sr. joined Farmer in calling for the name to come down, arguing that the university cannot credibly claim to support survivors while continuing to honor one of its most powerful former trustees amid the unresolved questions surrounding his relationship with Epstein. Ohio State has said it has a formal review process for renaming buildings and that any removal ultimately requires approval from its Board of Trustees.

October 10 Katie Phang Responds To Todd Blanche's Latest Motion To Postpone (Part 2) (10/10/26)
Katie Phang’s lawyers asked Judge Emmet Sullivan to reject Todd Blanche’s latest attempt to postpone production of the administrative record in her lawsuit, arguing that DOJ had once again waited until the last possible moment to avoid a court-ordered deadline. The filing noted that Sullivan had already ordered Blanche to file a certified index of the administrative record by October 1 and produce the full record to Phang by October 15. Instead of complying, Blanche filed a motion after business hours on October 1 asking to suspend those deadlines while the court considered his separate motion for judgment on the pleadings. Phang’s attorneys characterized that maneuver as part of an ongoing pattern of delay, pointing out that Blanche had previously missed his deadline to answer the complaint, sought a broader stay that Sullivan rejected, and failed to oppose Phang’s earlier request for production of the administrative record. They argued that Blanche’s latest request violated Sullivan’s standing order governing scheduling changes, effectively attempted to grant himself an extension simply by filing for one, and improperly sought to relitigate issues the court had already decided.

Phang’s team also attacked DOJ’s substantive argument that the administrative record was unnecessary because Blanche’s Rule 12(c) motion supposedly presented only legal questions and no disputed facts. They argued that the motion itself relied on agency records and raised factual issues, making the underlying administrative record potentially essential to determining whether DOJ’s actions were lawful. More broadly, the filing said Blanche had not met the standard required to justify reconsidering Sullivan’s previous rulings and accused DOJ of trying to recycle arguments it either already made or could have made earlier. Phang therefore asked Sullivan to deny the postponement request, immediately require Blanche to file the certified list of the administrative record, and keep the October 15 deadline for producing the full record intact. In blunt terms, the filing portrayed DOJ’s latest motion not as a legitimate scheduling dispute, but as another attempt to delay reaching the merits of the case after the court had already ordered the government to move forward.

October 10 Raskin and Dean Send DOJ a Letter Demanding a Botstein Investigation (10/10/26)
Reps. Jamie Raskin and Madeleine Dean are demanding that Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel open a federal investigation into former Bard College president Leon Botstein after congressional investigators uncovered communications they say raise serious questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and a young woman Epstein was allegedly trafficking in 2014. The centerpiece of the October 7 letter is an email sent from Botstein’s Bard account after Epstein arranged for the young woman, described as a foreign model and aspiring singer, to meet him for supposed educational and musical guidance. In that email, Botstein allegedly asked Epstein whether the woman was “for me” or whether Epstein was keeping her for himself. Raskin and Dean argue that the message cannot be viewed in isolation because Epstein was allegedly grooming the woman at the time through promises of education, career assistance and financial support while arranging extensive travel for her between Europe, Canada, New York, Florida, New Mexico and his Caribbean island. They also say Epstein later enlisted Botstein to help reassure the woman’s parents about him, including arranging special treatment and orchestra tickets. The lawmakers contend that these records easily satisfy the federal threshold for beginning an investigation into whether a crime “may have occurred,” while Botstein has denied authoring the disputed email and denied participating in Epstein’s criminal activity.

The letter also delivers a broader attack on DOJ and the FBI for maintaining that their review of the Epstein files uncovered no evidence warranting investigations of additional uncharged associates. Raskin and Dean argue that the Botstein material directly challenges that position and accuse federal authorities of possessing the information for roughly 18 months without meaningfully pursuing it. They additionally question why DOJ releases allegedly exposed the young woman’s name hundreds of times and included images showing her face while Botstein’s email address was redacted, demanding to know who authorized that disparate treatment and why. Beyond Botstein, they call for investigations into other Epstein associates, naming Leon Black, Jes Staley, Les Wexner, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Richard Kahn, Darren Indyke, Lesley Groff and Larry Visoski, while also demanding release of the complete Epstein files with survivor identities protected and congressional investigators given access to unredacted material. The fundamental argument of the letter is that the government cannot simultaneously claim there was insufficient evidence to investigate Epstein’s wider network while its own files contain communications that lawmakers say plainly warranted further inquiry.

October 10 Mega Edition: Ghislaine Maxwell Asks The Court To Serve Her Sentence In The UK (10/10/26)
After Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced in June 2022 to 20 years in federal prison for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse operation, her family publicly pushed for her to eventually serve the remainder of that sentence in the United Kingdom. Maxwell, who holds British citizenship and spent much of her early life in England, was eligible in principle to seek a transfer under international prisoner-transfer procedures, although such a move was never automatic. Her brother Ian Maxwell said the family wanted her returned to Britain, arguing that she was fundamentally British and would be closer to relatives there. At the time, her supporters also pointed to her complaints about conditions in U.S. federal custody as another reason for pursuing a transfer.

Any transfer, however, would have required approval from both the United States and British governments and would not have altered Maxwell’s underlying 20-year sentence. British guidance makes clear that prisoners serving sentences abroad have no automatic right to be transferred home, and both countries must agree before such a request can be granted. Maxwell’s sentencing judgment committed her to the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons, with the court recommending placement at FCI Danbury, meaning the decision about where she served her sentence initially rested with U.S. prison authorities rather than with Maxwell herself. The effort to return her to Britain was therefore a request to change the country in which she served her punishment, not an attempt to erase or shorten the conviction imposed in New York.

October 10 Mega Edition: Jeffrey Epstein And The Fate Of His Palm Beach Mansion (10/10/26)
Jeffrey Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion at 358 El Brillo Way, one of the most notorious properties associated with his abuse, was sold by his estate after his death and then completely demolished. Epstein had purchased the roughly 14,000-square-foot waterfront home in 1990, and it later became central to the original Palm Beach investigation after police searched the property in 2005. Following Epstein’s death in 2019, the estate sold the mansion in March 2021 for about $18.5 million to developer Todd Michael Glaser. Rather than renovate or preserve it, Glaser moved quickly to erase the structure altogether, saying the house carried an irreparable association with Epstein and what had happened there. Demolition began in April 2021, reducing the residence to an empty waterfront lot and eliminating one of the most recognizable physical symbols of the Epstein scandal.

The effort to sever the property from Epstein went even further. Glaser successfully had the address changed from 358 El Brillo Way to 360 El Brillo Way, part of an attempt to break the connection between the land and its infamous former owner. After demolishing the mansion, Glaser resold the vacant property in September 2021 for approximately $25.845 million to venture capitalist David Skok, producing a substantial profit in only a matter of months. The result was striking: a house that had been searched by police, described by survivors as a location of abuse and permanently identified with Epstein was physically wiped from the Palm Beach landscape. The land remained valuable waterfront real estate, but the building itself — and the address most closely associated with Epstein’s Palm Beach operation — disappeared.
