The 2008 sweetheart deal between Alex Acosta and Jeffrey Epstein only named four women as Epstein’s co-conspirators:
The four women, identified as “assistants” to Epstein and Maxwell, were Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross, and Nadia Marcinkova.
But prosecutors didn’t limit the immunity to them. A point that has drawn scrutiny by legal experts and the public alike.
Epstein’s “sweetheart deal” extended to “any potential co-conspirators.”
This was a clause so broad it effectively protected pilots, drivers, and all of Epstein’s staff too.
Naming only the women contained the story and made it look narrower than it was — critics argue Acosta and the gov were shielding Epstein’s wider network in plain sight.
Sarah Kellen wasn’t just an “assistant.”
Survivors testified she scheduled the sexual “massages,” walked girls upstairs, and even participated in abuse.
Yet she was one of the four given immunity in Epstein’s 2008 deal. Instead of facing accountability, she was shielded.
Kellen changed her name multiple times and married former NASCAR driver Kevin Vickers, though they recently filed for divorce.
If you’re not following me yet, you should be. I’m on the Epstein case closely and not letting up.
Adriana Ross was a former model from Poland who became part of Epstein’s inner circle.
Survivors say she helped manage the homes and even removed evidence when investigators closed in.
Despite her role, she was one of the four women granted immunity in the 2008 deal.

Lesley Groff wasn’t just Epstein’s “assistant.” In 2001, she was making about $200,000 a year working for him. He also bought her a luxury car and paid for her a full time nanny for her children.
Survivors say Groff scheduled “massages,” arranged travel, and coordinated payments.
Emails showed she even joked about Epstein’s teen “massages.”
Groff lives in a multi-million dollar home in Connecticut and was protected in Epstein’s sweetheart deal..
Nadia Marcinkova was groomed by Epstein from the time she 15.
She was brought into his world as a “model” and then kept under his control for years.
Survivors testified she not only lived with him but also participated in their abuse.
Despite this, she was one of the four women given immunity in the 2008 deal.
Larry Visoski was Epstein’s private pilot for nearly 30 years.
He piloted the infamous “Lolita Express,” and admitted under oath that he flew survivors and high-profile passengers, and that he saw young girls on the planes.
He claimed he never witnessed abuse. Instead of being charged, he was treated as a cooperating witness.

David Rodgers was also one of Epstein’s longtime pilots.
His detailed flight logs became crucial evidence, showing the steady stream of high-profile passengers and young girls ferried to Epstein’s properties.
Despite holding the keys to Epstein’s movements, he was never charged, and instead treated as a cooperating witness.

Bill Hammond was another of Epstein’s pilots, mainly in the earlier years before fading from the spotlight.
Unlike Visoski and Rodgers, he’s less tied to the high-profile trial testimony, but he still flew Epstein and his guests.
He was never charged, quietly shielded as the network was contained.

Havana Syndrome survivors say the 60 Minutes coverage is part of a larger cover-up. Several survivors told me it’s the CIA trying to portray this as a foreign threat, even though Americans—including civilians—are being targeted.
These survivors are known as “targeted individuals.”
2/ In 1961, biologist Allan H. Frey, working at GE's Advanced Electronics Center at Cornell University, published a finding in the Journal of Applied Physiology that changed the physics of hearing: pulsed microwave radiation causes humans to perceive sounds (buzzing, clicks, hissing, and with sufficient modulation, even words ) directly inside their heads, with no external sound source whatsoever.
This is accomplished using rapid microwave pulses that heat brain tissue in micro-scale bursts — temperature changes of roughly 0.00001 degrees Celsius, too small to damage tissue but sufficient to create thermoelastic expansion.
Each pulse generates a pressure wave that travels through the skull to the cochlea via bone conduction — the same pathway used by bone-conduction hearing aids.
The auditory cortex registers the signal. The brain hears a sound.
3/ Here’s the point that psychological explanations routinely miss: the auditory cortex cannot tell a Frey Effect signal from a natural sound.
Both travel the same neural pathways, processed by the same mechanisms, and experienced as equally real.
It isn’t that the brain is broken or not functioning properly when it “hears” a Frey Effect—it’s doing exactly what it’s designed to do: listen.
Scientists have replicated this phenomenon in labs around the world since the 1960s. This is documented fact.
BREAKING
A newly released set of FBI interview notes from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation includes previously undisclosed allegations involving Donald Trump.
The documents were missing from the Justice Department’s public Epstein files database until recently.
Here’s what the records say. 🧵
2/ The files contain summaries of multiple FBI interviews with a woman who said she was sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein’s network.
She told investigators she was recruited and brought into Epstein’s circle while underage.
3/ In one interview summary, the survivor account says Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was about 13 years old.
She alleged the encounter occurred during the early 1980s while she was already being exploited through Epstein’s network.
Two stories I cover just intersected and it’s worth pointing out. 🚩
Umar Dzhabrailov (Russian billionaire, politician, and man who called Ghislaine Maxwell his “soulmate”) was found in a pool of blood in Moscow yesterday (reported suicide).
He’s pictured here with Sean “Diddy” Combs at Cannes in 2008, alongside his young daughter Alvina.
I covered Combs’ RICO sex trafficking trial in SDNY last year.
@innercitypress covered Combs trial live, from the courtroom.
Oh hey there @_whitneywebb thanks for the repost 🖤
Another interesting overlap worth noting: Maurene Comey was federal prosecutor at SDNY on both the Ghislaine Maxwell AND Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking cases.
She’s the daughter of Obama’s FBI Director James Comey.
She was also abruptly fired last year and has since filed suit against the DOJ, alleging she was targeted because of who her father is — the same man Trump fired during his first term for investigating Russian interference in 2016.
Retired U.S. Air Force Maj. Gen. Neil McCasland has reportedly been listed as missing since Friday, according to local authorities.
McCasland previously served as commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory and later oversaw special access programs for the Department of the Air Force.
2/ His name became publicly known in 2016 after released emails showed communication with Tom DeLonge regarding Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) discussions before To The Stars Academy was formed.
3/ His name appeared in the 2016 WikiLeaks email release, which referenced discussions about unidentified aerial phenomena. For years since, UFO researchers have speculated online about his proximity to advanced aerospace programs and classified research.
Russian businessman Umar Dzhabrailov was found in a pool of blood at a hotel in Moscow this morning.
2/ A photograph of a young shirtless Dzhabrailov recently surfaced in the Epstein files released by the Department of Justice, raising new questions about his connections to Epstein’s network.
When asked about the image, Dzhabrailov said he did not know when or where the photo was taken.
3/ Dzhabrailov was known for his connections to the kremlin and was a controversial figure long before the Epstein revelations.
In 1996, American businessman Paul Tatum was shot and killed in an elevator at the Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel in Moscow (a property he co-managed with Dzhabrailov)
Tatum was shot 11 times in the head and neck in what was widely considered a contract killing. After his death, Dzhabrailov and the Moscow city government swiftly assumed full control of the hotel business.
