An informant has told Attorney General Pam Bondi that FBI officials in New York have failed to disclose “thousands of pages of documents related to the investigation” of Jeffrey Epstein, despite orders to release them.
Here are disturbing facts about what FBI officials in NY did in this case:
Two days after Epstein’s arrest in 2019, the Department of Justice sent a letter to a judge arguing that he should be denied bail. The letter, co-signed by Maurene Comey (daughter of Jim Comey), reveals that a search of Epstein’s New York residence on the night of his arrest found:
• “an extraordinary volume of photographs of nude and partially-nude young women or girls.”
• “compact discs” in “a locked safe” with “hand-written labels” like “Girl pics nude” and “Young [Name] + [Name].”
Maria Farmer, a victim of Epstein who reported him to the FBI in 1996, told CBS News that Epstein’s mansion in New York was loaded with hidden cameras. Describing a surveillance room with a large number of monitors, she said, “I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, bed, bed, toilet, bed.” She also said the house was “videoed, all the time,” and when she asked Epstein “What do you do with this?” he replied, “I keep it. I keep everything in my safe.”
Incredibly, after the feds cut open Epstein’s safe, they abandoned its contents and left the home unguarded. When they came back four days later, the contents of the safe were gone. These facts only came to light in 2021 during the sex trafficking trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, not because the Department of Justice disclosed them to the public.
The official transcript of the sixth day of the trial—obtained exclusively by Just Facts—shows that the search team leader of Epstein’s home, FBI Special Agent Kelly Maguire, testified under oath to the following:
• The FBI executed a search warrant of Epstein’s mansion on the day of his arrest (July 6, 2019), but the warrant limited what could be searched and seized, so the agents obtained a broader warrant on July 7, which they executed that day.
• Under those two warrants, agents located Epstein’s safe, cut it open, and found in it “binders that contained CDs,” “external hard drives,” “jewelry,” “loose diamonds,” and “large amounts of U.S. currency and passports.”
• Instead of seizing all of this evidence, the FBI agents placed it on the top and side of the safe, took a picture of it, and left it completely unguarded.
• The alleged reason why they didn’t seize the contents of the safe is that they didn’t “have legal authority to seize all of the CDs that day”—even though they had already obtained a second broader warrant.
• Evidencing that the warrant didn’t exclude all CDs, Maguire was asked, “Now, at the time you observed these CDs on the safe, did you have legal authority to seize all of the CDs that day?” and she replied, “No, not all of them.”
• When Maguire returned to Epstein’s house on July 11 with a search warrant that gave her “legal authority” to seize what they left behind, she “observed that all of the items” shown in the “photograph that I had previously seen were missing.”
• Maguire then had a 3-way phone call with an “associate of Mr. Epstein named Richard Kahn and his legal counsel named Andrew Tomback.”
• Within 30 minutes of “that telephone conversation, Richard Kahn came to the residence of Jeffrey Epstein” and “brought all of those items” back to Maguire “in two suitcases.”
• Maguire said that the contents of the suitcases “appeared to be all of the items that had been previously located in the safe,” but she “didn’t look at what was on any of these CDs” before Epstein’s associates took them.
Just Facts shared the facts above with a veteran police detective and asked for his thoughts. The detective, who has been involved in the execution of more 100 search warrants, replied:
• “This is unprecedented in my experience and violates basic protocols.”
• “There is no apparent reason why a warrant in a child sex trafficking case would prohibit a search team from seizing items from a safe, especially CDs labeled with the names of potential victims.”
• “Even if the warrant was so oddly restrictive, law enforcement has a duty to guard the evidence until another warrant is obtained to seize it.
• “FBI agents, who are highly trained and heavily resourced to handle such matters, undoubtedly know that you don’t abandon evidence.”
Adding to the stench of a cover up, the person who took the contents of the safe (Richard Kahn) is not merely an “associate” of Epstein but is heavily implicated in his crimes. A 2021 civil complaint filed by the government of the U.S. Virgin Islands states that Kahn and another person named Darren Indyke:
• were “the indispensable captains of Epstein’s criminal enterprise, roles for which they were richly rewarded.”
• “organized, controlled, and directed almost every aspect” of Epstein’s dealings.
• were “officers in virtually every corporate entity that Epstein created to fund and conceal his activities.”
• “directed, approved, enabled, and justified millions of dollars in payments that fueled the Epstein Enterprise’s sex trafficking.”
• helped create “a steady supply of vulnerable female children”—including “numerous girls between the age of 12 and 17 years old”—who were placed “into sexual servitude in service of Epstein’s desires, and those of his associates.”
• are the co-executors of Epstein’s estate and continue to “engage in a course of conduct aimed at concealing the criminal activities of the Epstein Enterprise.”
• have “approved the release” of funds from Epstein’s estate to “pay for the legal fees and costs of persons” who allegedly “participated in the criminal activity of the Epstein Enterprise.”
To this day, the federal government hasn’t revealed the names of the people that were written beside the “young” females on the CDs in Epstein’s safe. Again, this is where Epstein kept the footage from his hidden cameras, according to Maria Farmer.
The FBI is also keeping other information under wraps. After Epstein died, Farmer told CBS News that the FBI “failed” her by not acting on the complaint she filed in 1996 and added, “They are trying to pretend I do not exist. I want my report and I want it printed out so I can show everyone how much they failed. I don’t know if I’ll ever get it. We’ve been requesting it forever.”
