Democracy Now! Anand Giridharadas on the Elite Network around Epstein

Nov 25, 2025 | While much of the recent interest in Jeffrey Epstein has focused on the late sexual predator’s relationship with President Donald Trump, his emails also reveal his close relationships with other powerful figures from the worlds of politics, finance, academia and beyond.

The thousands of files released by the House Oversight Committee earlier this month include his correspondence from April 2011 through January 2019, after he was already a registered sex offender for abusing underage girls in Florida.

The fact that so many prominent and influential people could ignore those crimes is indicative of their membership in a “borderless network of people who are more loyal to each other” than anything else, says journalist Anand Giridharadas.

“He had chosen this particular kind of social network, this American power elite, because he could be sure that it would be able to look away.”

Giridharadas is author of Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World and recently wrote about the Epstein emails for The New York Times opinion section.

Scams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons: The Untold Story of How Jeffrey Epstein Got Rich

THE NEW YORK TIMES: For years, rumors swirled about where his wealth came from. A Times investigation reveals the truth of how a college dropout clawed his way to the pinnacle of American finance and society.

One evening in early 1976, a bushy-haired Jeffrey Epstein showed up for an event at an art gallery in Midtown Manhattan. Epstein was a math and physics teacher at the city’s prestigious Dalton School, and the father of one of his students had invited him. Epstein initially demurred, saying he didn’t go out much, but eventually relented. It would turn out to be one of the best decisions he ever made.

At the gallery, Epstein bumped into another Dalton parent, who had heard tales of the 23-year-old’s wondrous math skills. The parent asked if he’d ever thought about a job on Wall Street, according to an unreleased recording of Epstein and a document prepared by his lawyers. Epstein was game. The parent dialed a friend: Ace Greenberg, a top executive at Bear Stearns. Epstein, the friend told Greenberg, was “wasting his time at Dalton.”

Greenberg invited Epstein to the investment firm’s offices at 55 Water Street at the southern tip of Manhattan. Epstein showed up in a turtleneck. Greenberg was impressed — even though the young man didn’t have the foggiest idea of how Wall Street worked. Greenberg had helped build Bear Stearns into one of the industry’s scrappiest firms by eschewing the traditional investment-banking practice of hiring Ivy Leaguers with M.B.A.s. He preferred what he called P.S.D.s: those who were poor, smart and had “a deep desire to become rich.”

Epstein fit the bill. He grew up in a working-class family in Coney Island. Friends described him as a math whiz and a piano virtuoso. And, as Greenberg and his colleagues would soon learn, he yearned for wealth. That trait had been apparent as early as ninth grade: A classmate told us that Epstein predicted to her that one day he would be very rich. » | David Enrich, Steve Eder, Jessica Silver-Greenberg and Matthew Goldstein | Tuesday, December 16, 2025

The reporters, who have been investigating Jeffrey Epstein since 2019, interviewed dozens of his former colleagues, girlfriends, business partners and others. They also dug through archives, reviewed photos, notes and emails and scoured thousands of pages of public records.

Aux États-Unis, l’onde de choc des dossiers Epstein

LE FIGARO : RÉCIT - La publication le 19 décembre prochain des dossiers de la justice américaine promet de nouvelles révélations.

L’ouverture prochaine des dossiers Epstein est attendue avec espoir et inquiétude. Les espoirs sont de voir révélés les dessous d’une sordide affaire criminelle devenue un scandale d’État. Plusieurs victimes d’Epstein et leurs avocats, et les élus du Congrès qui les ont soutenus, espèrent que seront dévoilés les complicités et les soutiens dont il a bénéficié, et qui lui ont permis de poursuivre dans une quasi-impunité des activités criminelles dont la plupart de ses relations étaient largement au courant.

Mais les attentes sont aussi politiques. Les adversaires de Donald Trump et les démocrates espèrent de nouvelles révélations compromettantes pour le président américain, qui fut longtemps un ami d’Epstein avant de rompre avec lui. Les républicains comptent surtout sur celles impliquant des personnalités démocrates, nombreuses à avoir entretenu d’étroites relations avec Epstein, notamment Bill Clinton, qui pourrait voir sa réputation détruite, comme vient de l’être celle de son ancien secrétaire au Trésor Larry Summers. » | Par Adrien Jaulmes, correspondant à Washington | dimanche 30 novembre 2025

Trump Knew about Epstein’s Conduct, Newly Released Emails Suggest

THE GUARDIAN: In messages released by House Democrats, Epstein wrote ‘of course [Trump] knew about the girls’

Damning new emails that suggest Donald Trump knew about the conduct of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were released Wednesday, including one in which Epstein said “of course [Trump] knew about the girls” that were procured for his sex-trafficking ring.

The release of the three messages by Democrats on the House oversight committee is likely to add significant pressure on the White House to release the so-called Epstein files, reportedly detailing the long-running scandal that has overshadowed Trump’s second term of office.

Numerous victims have said they were assaulted at Epstein’s infamous parties that took place at his home in New York, his Florida mansion, and at his compound at Little St James in the US Virgin Islands, to which “clients” would be ferried by private jet. » | Richard Luscombe | Wednesday, November 12, 2025

This is TRULY DISGUSTING! And these are the people that the “little people”, the so-called “subjects”, are supposed to look up to! Maybe the time has come to give the possibility of a REPUBLIC some serious consideration. The state gives these people the means to live in the lap of luxury and they still can’t behave themselves. — © Mark Alexander
