Sergey Kislyak - Wikipedia

Kislyak held a low profile in the press but socialized in Washington, D.C. diplomatic circles, known for his lavish parties at the Russian compound at Pioneer Point, Maryland. The parties featured sexy bikini babes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Ki…

Pioneer Point is the former estate of wealthy business executive, and builder John J. Raskob.

Archmere Academy was founded in 1932 by the Norbertine religious order, initially as an all-boys school. It began on the former estate of U.S. industrialist John J. Raskob.

John J. Raskob was Treasurer for the Knights of Malta.

The moving spirit behind the launch of the American Liberty League was John Jacob Raskob, a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee and the foremost opponent of Prohibition, former director of General Motors

and a board member of DuPont.

Jouett Shouse, who had been prominent in Democratic politics and the anti-Prohibition movement, became the American Liberty League’s first chairman.

In early 1930s Shouse divorced his wife of twenty-one years and married the wealthy divorcee,

Catherine Filene Dodd. A native of Boston, Massachusetts, the new Mrs. Shouse was a daughter of A. Lincoln Filene, head of Filene's department stores.

In 1929, Filene's joined Abraham & Straus and Lazarus as the founding members of Federated Department Stores.

Abraham & Straus was founded in 1865 in Brooklyn, New York, as Wechsler & Abraham by Joseph Wechsler and Abraham Abraham. In 1893, the Straus family (including Isidor Straus and Nathan Straus), who acquired a general partnership with Macy's department stores in 1888, bought

out Joseph Wechsler's interest in Wechsler & Abraham and changed the store's name to Abraham & Straus.

Herbert Straus, the sixth of seven children born to Isidor and Ida Straus (co-owners of retailers R. H. Macy & Co.), never lived in the house, and work on the house was

canceled shortly before Straus's death in 1933. Straus's heirs never completed work on the house due to the high cost of property taxes. It was unfinished in 1944 when it was donated by the sons of Herbert Straus to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York for a hospital.

The Birch Wathen School occupied the house from 1962 until 1989, when it was purchased for $13.2 million by the billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner.

a spa attendant at Donald Trump's private Mar-a-Lago club while reading a book about massage therapy. Maxwell, a British socialite and daughter of the late media tycoon Robert Maxwell, approached Giuffre, noted the book that she was reading, inquired about her interest in

massage, and offered her a potential job working for Epstein as a traveling masseuse with the assurance that no experience was necessary.

Manhattan (at the Herbert N. Straus House), with additional trips to Epstein's Zorro ranch in New Mexico and private island Little Saint James.
