🚨 Epstein victim sues the FBI for $100 million over a cover-up In 1996, she called the FBI. They opened a file. Then they told her it had never existed. She spent 29 years being labeled a liar. September 3, 1996. A file is opened at FBI headquarters. “Classification: child pornography.” The woman who made the call has only been identified as “a professional artist.” She described the photos she had seen inside a mansion in Manhattan. She described the man who owned those photos. She described what she witnessed being done to the young girls. She gave them all the details. Then she waited. No one returned the call. Nine years later, a local detective in Palm Beach knocked on another door. He found forty victims. He handed the FBI photographs, videos, and documented evidence of trafficking of minors across multiple states. The FBI opened a formal investigation. Two years later, they closed it. A deal with prosecutors. Thirteen months. Leaving before noon every day with permission to work. The trafficking continued. The FBI kept receiving reports. For eleven more years, women were taken to his island, his Manhattan home, and his private ranch. And during those eleven more years, the file remained there. It took a newspaper journalist to force the arrest in 2019. Thirty-three days later, he “died.” Now, twelve women—identified only as Doe 1 through Doe 12—appear before a federal court. They are not suing his estate. They are suing the FBI. They want $100 million. And they want all internal documents, all memos, all emails that show exactly who received each report and who made the decision to do nothing. ❌ But here’s the part that changes everything. When the FBI released its own internal investigation in 2020, it did not mention the 1996 report. Not even once. For another five years, the woman who made that call was told: your report does not exist. In December 2025, the Department of Justice confirmed that it did. One page, dated September 3, 1996. Which means someone inside the FBI knew that file existed—and chose not to include it in their own review.

Hundreds of Jews and Palestinians gathered in Tel Aviv today to protest our government’s forever war in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Iran. We know this isn’t normal. We know all of us deserve better. Enough!

"It was a deliberate attempt to silence us..." British journalist Steve Sweeney talks about surviving Israeli bombing.

“They say that Spain is alone. They said the same when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. We are not alone. We are the first. Those defending the indefensible will be the ones left alone.” (Sánchez, March 9)

This is the first NYT headline acknowledging Israeli sexual violence against Palestinians — something human rights groups have documented for decades.
