Jeffrey Epstein
July 16, 2026 — John Hinderaker
I was on the Rita Panahi Show last night. We talked about “trans” people fleeing America and Gavin Newsom’s dishonesty, and climate change causing child marriages. But most of the interview focused on JD Vance’s Joe Rogan interview. Vance made explosive comments about Israel and Jeffrey Epstein, with which I disagreed. The video starts with Lefties Losing It, and I come on following the video report that begins at 9:39

I usually do a couple of radio shows a week, and I don’t normally post them here. But I am making an exception for this appearance yesterday morning on Chicago’s Morning Answer, with John Anthony filling in for Dan Proft. John is a radio host in Detroit, on whose show I have also been a guest. We talked about the silliness of the Epstein List, Iran, AOC’s venture into foreign

I prepared these comments for a brief television editorial on the Epstein story, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and the list of prominent people who are mentioned in the Epstein emails. It sums up my view of the situation concisely; here it is, lightly edited: No one cared about the so-called Epstein files during the four years of the Biden administration, but when Donald Trump became president the Democrats, along

In a new column at his own site, Professor Jonathan Turley takes up the case of Rep. Ro Khanna and his “outing” the names of six men — four of whom had no connection to Epstein whatsoever — found in the Epstein files made public under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Khanna himself “wrote” with Rep. Thomas Massie. Proressor Turley reports that he has spoken with members who were

Margaret Thatcher’s name appears in the “Epstein Files.” Were you aware of that? The Department of Justice (DOJ) published a list of the more than 300 names (omitting victims) who appear in the millions of pages of “files.” Fox News includes the list at the bottom this this report (pages 4 to 6). Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004, appears on the list. Former Attorney General Janet Reno comes up

We must be well into the Salem witch trial phase of the Epstein file mania. Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are deep into it. They “wrote” the Epstein Files Transparency Act. You may have heard that Khanna read a list of six names on the House floor last week while asserting that they were “wealthy, powerful men that the DoJ hid” in the files recently released pursuant to the

Kathryn Ruemmler has one of the most gold-plated resumes of any lawyer in America. She was an associate counsel to President Clinton, an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia, and the deputy director of DOJ’s Enron Task Force. She was a partner in Los Angeles-based Latham & Watkins. In 2009, Ruemmler joined the Obama Administration as principal associate deputy attorney general. She then became President Obama’s White House

I have probably paid less attention than the average person to the Jeffrey Epstein saga, but in the wake of the latest, vast document dump I have been reading what some commentators are saying. So here, for what it is worth, are a few observations. First, the dog that isn’t barking. I take it that in all of the millions of emails that have now been released, there is no

This week, in addition to the Rita Panahi show, I was on the Rowan Dean Show and Gabriella Power’s Power Hour, all on Sky News Australia. In both cases, the conversations were wide-ranging. With Rowan, I talked about whether ICE should have taken a milder approach in Minnesota; interest rates under Kevin Warsh; negotiating with Iran’s mullahs; isolationism on the American right; and the phone call between Presidents Trump and

Serious question: hundreds of thousands of documents in the “Epstein files” have been released so far, what percentage of the total does that represent? 10? 90? Nobody knows? From what I can gather, we may be somewhere close to half-way-ish. The most shocking revelation so far was reported (7th paragraph) by The Hill newspaper this morning, Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing in connection to Epstein. No? Then

Last week Matt Taibbi published his column “The Jeffrey Epstein Saga is the Worst-Reported Story of All Time” at Racket News (behind the Racket News paywall). As he occasionally does, however, Taibbi has now had his column read into the record (by Jared Moore) via YouTube in the video below and on the ususal podcast apps. In the column Taibbi performed the kind of media critque at which he excels.

I wrote this more than a month ago, on the occasion of Senate passage of the bill to “release” the “Epstein files,” The entire exercise was engineered to disappoint and fail. But it will create a cottage industry involving federal lawsuits for the next half-century in the fruitless search for the real Epstein files. The entire subject doesn’t even hold a prurient interest for me. So as far as I can tell,

Rep. James Comer provided a dramatic reading of a fundraising email sent on behalf of “Brooklyn’s Barack” — that would be House Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries — on the floor of the House yesterday. The 2013 email is addressed to Jeffrey Epstein: “Dear Jeffrey.” Comer had good material to work with in his reading. He enjoyed himself. Like good poetry, according to the Roman poet Horace, Comer’s performance joins

Just yesterday (literally, Thursday), Trump was finished. It was so over. The wheels had come off. The long national nightmare had ended. He was vanquished, once and for all. The drape measuring had begun. The plans for the neocon restoration were set into motion. Then, unexpectedly, the sun rose on Thursday morning. The September payrolls number came out better than expected. Economic growth is looking strong. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

From The Hill newspaper, ‘The Epstein Files Transparency Act’: What’s in it? The article is the first one that I’ve come across that answers the question regarding the subject that has paralyzed Washington for the past week. The Act purports to mandate the release of The Epstein Files. The exceptions included in the Act swallow the rule. The Hill reports, Attorney General Pam Bondi has 30 days to “make publicly

All but one congressman in the House and the Senate voted in favor of The Epstein Files Transparency Act. The bill directs the Attorney General to release the documents under her control related to Jeffrey Epstein. It is now to be submitted to President Trump, who has said he will sign the bill when it gets to his desk.. The lone dissenter was (Republican) Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins. Higgins posted

Former Harvard President and leading Democratic Party intellectual Larry Summers has announced that he is “stepping back” from public activities as a result of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, as revealed in Epstein’s recently-released emails. Among other things, Summers visited Epstein’s notorious island. Now another Democrat is in trouble: Kathy Ruemmler, the General Counsel of Goldman Sachs: Emails reveal Ruemmler, a former Obama White House attorney who also referred to
