The New York Times reported in 2019 that

“Mr. Epstein and Mr. Staley soon became friends, and Mr. Epstein began referring rich individuals to Mr. Staley, who over the next decade converted dozens of those referrals into clients of JPMorgan’s private bank.”

There is no greater favour you can offer a banker than wealthy clients, who will bring profitable business with them. Epstein allowed Staley to build his career at JP Morgan and his reputation as a great financier in the wider banking world.

The faster Staley’s career advanced, of course, the more help he could offer Epstein,

Bondi behaved like a spoiled child and sat there with that smug smile because she thinks her lord and savior Donald Trump will sheild her from any consequences. She doesn't know that the devil requires absolute loyalty but he gives none in return. Trump will throw her under the bus as soon as it is expedient to do so.

Not sure. She's seen the reality these people impose and may understand that doing her job properly means being not long for this world. It'll catch up with her anyway but the delusional front might simply be abject fear.

That's what I saw, too. She is in full-on panic mode.

Good!

Epstein Files: X Users Are Asking Grok to 'Unblur' Photos of Children - bellingcat

Bellingcat reviewed dozens of requests for Grok to generate the faces of children and women that had been redacted from the latest documents.

www.bellingcat.com

In the days after the US Department of Justice (DOJ) published 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, multiple users on X have asked Grok to “unblur” or remove the black boxes covering the faces of children and women in images that were meant to protect their privacy.

After the latest release of documents on Jan. 30 under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, thousands of documents had to be taken down because of flawed redactions that lawyers for the victims said compromised the names and faces of nearly 100 survivors.

But X users are trying to undo the redactions on even the images of people whose faces were correctly redacted. By searching for terms such as “unblur” and “epstein” with the “@grok” handle, Bellingcat found more than 20 different photos and one video that multiple users were trying to unredact using Grok. These included photos showing the visible bodies of children or young women, with their faces covered by black boxes. There may be other such requests on the platform that were not picked up in our searches.

School Picture Days Canceled, Investigations Launched After Rumors Link Popular Photo Company To Epstein

One of the nation’s largest school photography companies is facing canceled photo shoots and district-wide investigations amid unsubstantiated online rumors suggesting that children’s photos could have been accessed by a person named in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Several school districts announced this week that they have launched investigations into the popular company Lifetouch due to its former, indirect ownership by billionaire businessman Leon Black, who was an associate and friend of the late child sex offender.

“At this time, no evidence has been presented indicating misconduct involving Lifetouch’s operations within our schools or any compromise of student information. Nevertheless, we believe it is appropriate to review the matter carefully and transparently,” Clifton Public Schools, one of New Jersey’s largest school districts, wrote in a letter to parents on Wednesday.

Even some Texas schools are not having it.

What is wrong with the headline? I guess it could be more concise "School picture days cancelled over Leon Black child rape ties to Epstein"

What is wrong with the headline? I guess it could be more concise "School picture days cancelled over Leon Black child rape ties to Epstein"

Exactly, the headline is just far too wordy and not at all elegant. If I was writing it I'd do something like:

"School Picture Days cancelled over Photo Company's ties to Epstein."

Husted took donations from Epstein 'co-conspirator' Les Wexner, then voted to block file release

Campaign records show Sen. Jon Husted took $116,892 from Les Wexner since 2001, including months before voting to block release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.

tiffinohio.net

Ohio Republican Senator Jon Husted has accepted $116,892 from Les Wexner between 2001 and 2025, according to Federal Election Commission and Ohio Secretary of State campaign finance records reviewed by TiffinOhio.net.

Wexner, the billionaire founder of Victoria’s Secret parent company L Brands, was publicly identified this week as a “co-conspirator” of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in FBI documents.

Husted took $3,500 from Wexner as recently as July 3, 2025 — just two months before voting on September 10, 2025 to block a bipartisan Senate amendment that would have directed the Attorney General to publicly release documents related to Epstein.

The financial relationship spans Husted’s entire political career, from his time in the Ohio legislature through his current role as U.S. Senator. Campaign finance records show Husted is the only senator up for re-election in 2026 who accepted contributions from Wexner during the 2025-2026 election cycle.
