There’s been persistent speculation that Jamie Dimon, long-time CEO of JPMorgan Chase, might make a run for the U.S. presidency or at least take a high-tier government role. Some analysts and commentators have pointed to his reputation as a steady, pragmatic leader who speaks openly on economic and geopolitical issues as evidence that he could mount a compelling candidacy. For instance, a Yale SOM piece noted that his stature as a “systemic stabilizer,” combined with his willingness to critique U.S. policy, gives him appeal in periods of political turbulence.


Despite this, Dimon has consistently downplayed or rejected the idea of running. He has said the notion of him winning is unlikely, and he has emphasized the demands of his family life, the lack of prior political experience, and his commitment to JPMorgan as reasons he wouldn’t pursue it.



In his deposition held on May 26, 2023, Jamie Dimon asserted under oath that he had never met, emailed, or communicated with Jeffrey Epstein, and claimed he was not involved in any internal decisions regarding Epstein’s bank accounts.  He acknowledged that a 2011 internal email from JPMorgan’s then-general counsel, which said Epstein “should not be a client, period,” was not known to him at the time, though he said he was aware of it later and agreed that had the bank known what we know now about Epstein’s criminal behavior, the relationship would have been severed earlier.

Former President **Bill Clinton’s inscription to Ghislaine Maxwell — “To Ghislaine, with love” — in a signed copy of his memoir is more than just a casual gesture; it reeks of intimacy and poor judgment. At a time when Maxwell was already deeply enmeshed in Epstein’s world, such a public figure choosing to gift her a personalized keepsake raises troubling questions about the depth of his relationship with her. It underscores the hypocrisy of powerful leaders who later sought to distance themselves from Epstein and Maxwell, even as evidence continues to surface showing they were more than passing acquaintances.

In 2002, a photograph surfaced showing former President Bill Clinton receiving a shoulder massage at an airport from Chauntae Davies, who later became one of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers. The image was taken during a stopover while Clinton’s jet refueled en route to Africa on what was described as a humanitarian mission. Davies was 22 at the time. She later said that the massage was solicited by Ghislaine Maxwell, and that Clinton had complained of stiffness from sleeping in his seat. She characterized Clinton’s behavior as “perfect gentleman” and denied any inappropriate conduct occurred

Rumors circulating in late 2024 suggest that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie have intervened behind the scenes to plead with King Charles to forgive their father, Prince Andrew, and ease tensions within the royal family. According to insiders, the sisters have asked their uncle to “mend fences” and allow Andrew to remain at Royal Lodge, appealing not just on Andrew’s behalf but also to protect their mother, Sarah Ferguson, from displacement

These reports also link their efforts to a broader family dispute over Andrew’s living arrangements and status. King Charles reportedly wants Andrew to move out of Royal Lodge and into a smaller property closer to Windsor (such as Frogmore Cottage), citing costs and maintenance. The daughters’ plea is seen as part of a push to keep Andrew’s current residence and preserve his connection to their family home.....

Reports suggest that King Charles has remained largely unmoved by pleas from Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to forgive Prince Andrew and restore his standing within the royal fold. Despite their attempts to persuade him to allow their father to stay at Royal Lodge and soften his position, the king appears set on enforcing stricter measures, such as pushing Andrew to downsize his residence and potentially relocate to a less prominent property.

Some insiders interpret Charles’ stance as signaling that there is “no path back” for Andrew—that familial appeals will not sway decisions about titles, finances, or living arrangements.

After Queen Elizabeth II’s death in September 2022, Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson took responsibility for her beloved corgis, Muick and Sandy. The pair had been gifts from Andrew to his mother during the pandemic, meant to provide companionship and comfort. They were moved to Royal Lodge in Windsor, where Sarah Ferguson has since embraced the role of caretaker, publicly calling the dogs “national treasures” and even remarking that she feels the Queen’s presence through them. The arrangement was presented as a fitting continuation of the late monarch’s bond with the breed, with Ferguson openly expressing gratitude for the chance to keep the Queen’s memory alive through the animals.

Prince Andrew was caught off guard when Virginia Roberts (Giuffre) filed her lawsuit in August 2021, accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 under Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking network. The filing in U.S. federal court blindsided Andrew, who had long denied any involvement and believed that distance from Epstein might shield him. Instead, the case forced him into the spotlight with renewed scrutiny, intensifying his public disgrace and sparking demands for accountability at the highest levels.


His legal team tried to derail the lawsuit by citing Roberts’ 2009 settlement with Epstein, but a judge rejected this strategy, allowing the case to move forward. The mounting pressure was swift and severe: Andrew was stripped of royal titles and patronages, cut off from official duties, and isolated within the monarchy. With a trial looming and the reputational damage mounting, he agreed to a multimillion-dollar settlement in February 2022, underscoring how blindsided he truly was by the lawsuit’s sudden and devastating impact.

Prince Andrew has long faced accusations of behaving disgracefully toward staff, with accounts painting him as arrogant, demanding, and quick to anger. Former aides and biographers have described a toxic atmosphere in his household, where employees were often subjected to verbal abuse, sudden outbursts, and demeaning treatment over even minor mistakes. He was said to bark orders in a domineering tone, issue unreasonable demands, and belittle those who worked for him, creating a reputation as one of the most difficult royals to serve. These reports highlight a stark contrast between Andrew’s treatment of staff and the conduct expected of a senior royal.

Over the years, multiple stories have circulated of Andrew insisting on trivial tasks being handled by his staff—things he could easily have done himself—while berating them if they failed to meet his exacting standards. Accounts range from him losing his temper over perceived breaches of protocol to obsessing over minor details and punishing employees when his rigid expectations weren’t met. Collectively, these stories have contributed to a broader portrait of entitlement and insensitivity, reinforcing the narrative of a prince whose personal conduct toward those in his service has repeatedly damaged both his own reputation and that of the monarchy.

In 2016, attorneys representing Epstein’s survivors brought what they described as extensive documentation and testimony to the Southern District of New York. They met with Amanda Kramer, then the top human trafficking prosecutor, and laid out evidence of a trafficking network that extended beyond what had been handled in Florida. Lawyers such as David Boies argued that the evidence clearly showed Epstein’s continued criminal conduct and Maxwell’s role, urging SDNY to act decisively. Survivors also lent their voices, recounting their experiences in hopes of finally seeing a meaningful federal investigation in New York.

Despite these efforts, SDNY declined to pursue charges. Prosecutors reportedly reasoned that much of the material overlapped with what had already been covered by Epstein’s controversial 2007 Florida non-prosecution agreement. Others inside the office were wary of reopening a case that had been deemed “resolved,” citing concerns about jurisdictional conflicts and political complications. Survivors and their attorneys left the meeting frustrated, believing the federal government had once again turned its back on credible evidence and missed an opportunity to intervene years before Epstein’s 2019 arrest.

The Gilgo Beach murders refer to a string of killings uncovered in December 2010, when police searching for missing woman Shannan Gilbert discovered multiple sets of human remains along a stretch of Ocean Parkway on Long Island, New York. Over time, investigators identified at least ten sets of remains, including four women—Maureen Brainard-Barnes, Melissa Barthelemy, Megan Waterman, and Amber Lynn Costello—collectively known as the “Gilgo Four.” These women were sex workers who had advertised services online and were believed to have been targeted in similar ways. Their remains were all found within a quarter mile of each other, suggesting the work of a single serial killer.

The case quickly grew more complex as other bodies were found in the vicinity, including those of men and a toddler, raising questions about whether multiple killers were involved. The murders became one of the most notorious unsolved cases in the U.S., plagued by investigative missteps, accusations of police corruption, and years of stagnation. In 2022, renewed investigative efforts using modern forensic techniques and cellphone data led authorities to Rex Heuermann, a Long Island architect who was arrested in 2023 and charged with several of the murders. His arrest has provided long-awaited answers, but the full scope of the killings—and whether all the victims can be linked to one perpetrator—remains unresolved.

Newly disclosed U.S. congressional records show that Prince Andrew was listed as a passenger on Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane on May 12, 2000, traveling from Teterboro, New Jersey, to Palm Beach, Florida. In a related “general ledger,” Andrew is referenced as having paid $200 for “massage, exercise and yoga” services in February 2000 — the same amount Epstein’s victims have said they were paid for massages linked to abuse. The documents also place Andrew on Epstein’s jet in later years, including 2002 and 1999 trips to the U.S. Virgin Islands, with his name appearing multiple times in the flight logs

Though Andrew has consistently denied any improper conduct, the revelations are intensifying calls from U.S. officials to subpoena him to testify, alongside several other high-profile figures named in the released materials. The documents, part of over 8,500 records surrendered by Epstein’s estate, also reveal connections between Epstein and prominent public figures such as Elon Musk, Steve Bannon, and Peter Thiel — with potential meetings and visits to Epstein’s island documented in his calendar logs.

Andrew ‘flew on Jeffrey Epstein’s jet and received massages’

A newly proposed bill in the New Mexico legislature seeks to launch a formal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged activities at Zorro Ranch, establishing what proponents call a “truth commission” with subpoena power to force document production rather than relying solely on voluntary disclosure. State Representative Andrea Romero has announced plans to introduce the measure in January, contending that the commission should uncover the “truth about what went on” in Santa Fe County—even if some alleged offenses now fall outside existing statutes of limitations.  The proposal also includes provisions to change state law in order to allow victims whose claims might otherwise be time-barred to come forward and seek some form of recourse. While the mechanics are still being drafted, the initiative reflects growing pressure in New Mexico to revisit the legacy of Epstein’s ownership of the ranch and the lingering shadow his crimes cast over local communities.


A newly surfaced People report highlights an internal FBI memo from September 2008 confirming that Jeffrey Epstein “provided information to the FBI as agreed upon.” The memo, tied to his 2007 non-prosecution agreement, undercuts later statements by FBI Director Kash Patel, who claimed Epstein was never a source. The document closed out a subfile on Epstein’s alleged asset forfeiture and suggested prosecutors found utility in his cooperation even as they opted not to pursue broader charges at the time. This revelation has reignited debate over how much intelligence Epstein offered and whether his cooperation shielded him from more serious exposure.

The Epstein estate has delivered a new batch of unredacted documents to the House Oversight Committee, including calendars, call logs, cash ledgers, and message books, adding to earlier releases such as Epstein’s will, his 2007 non-prosecution agreement, and his infamous “birthday book.” While the Committee has pledged to redact victims’ names before any public release, the handover intensifies bipartisan pressure for full transparency, with Democrats pushing to expose all connections and Republicans warning against selective publication. The disclosures have deepened scrutiny of Epstein’s networks and raised fresh questions about the powerful figures named within.
