Jeffrey Epstein could not have set up an industrial-scale network ferrying around teenagers for sex, without help. Cash was critical. Many banks claim not to have known what he was up to. But the facts were largely out in the open. We took a look at Deutsche Bank and its role, quite late in the day. reuters.com/sustainability…

Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of trafficking children for sex, bought a property in New Hampshire where she was found hiding in 2020. UBS released the money for the purchase on her behalf in 2019 despite a subpoena over Maxwell's money, DOJ files show reut.rs/4rZKTqn

Maxwell is in prison for her role in a child abuse ring. She was an essential part of Epstein’s global trafficking operation, says Senator @RonWyden

The bank itself told her she was out as a client. Yet the money to buy the hideout flowed. Normally, we don’t get to see what banks do for their customers. But the Epstein files give us an unprecedented glimpse of documents that would normally be out of sight.

Ghislaine Maxwell was Jeffrey Epstein’s chief accomplice, grooming children for sex. Yet, in 2019, when there was certainly no question about this and FBI agents were closing in, Swiss bank UBS released her millions.👇 reut.rs/3PBf6P1

Let me explain what just happened 👇 5 minutes before the President announced a halt to attacks on Iran… someone placed a $1.5 BILLION bet on stocks going up and dumped $192 million in oil. 5 minutes… These trades were 4 to 6 times larger than anything else in the entire market. Whoever did this wasn’t guessing. You don’t risk $1.5 billion on a hunch. There was zero public indication this announcement was coming. No leaks. No press. Nothing. The only people who knew were in the room when the decision was made. Someone in that room picked up a phone. And within minutes they made more money than most Americans will earn in a thousand lifetimes. In a single trade. On a war that cost you $4+ a gallon gas and $16 billion in tax dollars. American citizens funded this war. Politicians are profiting from it. This is not the first time. Every major announcement from this administration has had massive suspicious trades right before it dropped. Tariff reversals. Policy shifts. War decisions. This is the most blatant insider trading operation in the history of American politics. It’s not even close. And it’s happening over and over in broad daylight. You would go to federal prison for trading on a tip from your cousin. These people are front running war decisions with billion dollar bets and nobody will ever ask a single question. Nobody will be investigated. Nobody will be charged. By tomorrow this will be buried under the next satisfying headline. Just like last time. And the time before that. The game is rigged. And they’re not even trying to hide it anymore…

New: Leon Black has said he paid Jeffrey Epstein $170M for tax and estate planning. But a NYT investigation found that Epstein provided a range of other services as well, including helping Black obscure millions of dollars in payments to women. 🎁🔗 nytimes.com/2026/03/23/bus…

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

✈️ Just landed back in #Brussels after seeing situation on ground in #Beirut. 🇮🇱 Israel are now collapsing residential buildings in central #Beirut, a city of over 2m people. This is the Gaza playbook. Again, @vonderleyen is silent.

I just viewed part of the unredacted Epstein Files. The reach of this criminal enterprise is deeper than imaginable. What I saw proved what we already know: perpetrators are not being held accountable & survivors still deserve justice.

I have been deliberately silent on social media for a while. I use all my social media platforms to promote education & make dreams come true for young minds. I rarely post anything about family or politics. This morning, Israel demolished the building I have an apartment in. It took 22 years of my work here & 20 years of my wife’s work to own this apartment. This madness has to stop.

I am a US citizen & Surgeon who took care of the Boston Maraton Bombing victims in 2013. I paid for 7 years to own a small apartment in downtown #Beirut for my 3 kids to enjoy summers there. Today, #Israel reduced my dream home to rubble, with american weapons, paid by my taxes.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC. May God bless America.

Here’s a little Epstein Files update.

Bombing the center of a capital should be unthinkable. Apparently it depends on the city — and who’s dropping the bombs. In London, Paris or Washington this would be a global crisis. Here it barely registers.
