men from Texas have been charged with conspiring to seize control of a remote Haitian island through armed force, with federal prosecutors alleging they planned to kill all the men and sexually assault women and children.\n\nGavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, both from the Dallas area, were indicted on Thursday on charges of conspiracy to murder, maim or kidnap in a foreign country, the US Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Texas announced.\n\nBoth also face charges of producing child pornography for allegedly persuading a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.\n\nCourt documents accuse the men of planning to recruit homeless people from the Washington area to join their attempted coup in Haiti, purchase a sailboat and seize power on Gon\u00e2ve Island, home to some 87,000 residents.\n\nOnce there, they allegedly planned to kill all the men on the island and use \u201cthe women and children as sex slaves,\u201d according to the indictment.\n\nGon\u00e2ve covers roughly 751 square kilometres and is the largest of the islands surrounding Hispaniola. The island is suffering from poverty, a lack of access to water, and is disconnected from the rest of Haiti.\n\nLawyers for both defendants said on Friday their clients will plead not guilty. \"They never tried to do any of this,\" said John Helms, representing Thomas.\n\nHelms said that while he has not reviewed the government's evidence, he believes prosecutors will struggle to prove Weisenburg and Thomas genuinely intended to execute such a scheme.\n\nDavid Finn, Weisenburg's lawyer, urged restraint in judging the case. People have told him it is \"the craziest thing\" they have heard, he said, adding: \"Yeah, it is.\"\n\nFire academy in Dallas and sailing school in Thailand\n\nThe indictment alleges the men worked on the plot from August 2024 through July. Preparations allegedly included researching weapons and ammunition and planning to acquire military-style rifles. Prosecutors claim both men attempted to learn Haitian Creole.\n\nWeisenburg allegedly enrolled in a fire academy near Dallas to gain valuable training for the attack but failed to complete the programme. He then travelled to Thailand with the intent to learn sailing but never enrolled in lessons due to cost, according to the indictment.\n\nThomas enlisted in the US Air Force in January and told Weisenburg via social media he had joined the military to advance their planned attack, the indictment states.\n\nWhile serving, Thomas changed his assignment to Andrews Air Base in Maryland to assist in recruiting homeless people in Washington, prosecutors allege.\n\nThe US Air Force Office of Special Investigations was among the agencies investigating, according to the US Attorney's Office. The Air Force did not immediately respond to enquiries about Thomas' service on Friday.\n\nBoth men face up to 30 years in prison if convicted on the child pornography charge and up to life imprisonment if found guilty of conspiracy.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Two men from Texas have been charged with conspiring to seize control of a remote Haitian island through armed force, with federal prosecutors alleging they planned to kill all the men and sexually assault women and children.<\/p>\n<p>Gavin Rivers Weisenburg, 21, and Tanner Christopher Thomas, 20, both from the Dallas area, were indicted on Thursday on charges of conspiracy to murder, maim or kidnap in a foreign country, the US Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Texas announced. <\/p>\n<p>Both also face charges of producing child pornography for allegedly persuading a minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct.<\/p>\n<p>Court documents accuse the men of planning to recruit homeless people from the Washington area to join their attempted coup in Haiti, purchase a sailboat and seize power on Gon\u00e2ve Island, home to some 87,000 residents. <\/p>\n<p>Once there, they allegedly planned to kill all the men on the island and use \u201cthe women and children as sex slaves,\u201d according to the indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Gon\u00e2ve covers roughly 751 square kilometres and is the largest of the islands surrounding Hispaniola.

You can just say yes. OK?\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s easier. It\u2019s easier than explaining it. I don\u2019t mind.\u201d\n\n\u201cWe\u2019re going to be helping him to make everybody\u2019s dream come true, having a strong and very safe New York,\u201d the president said.\n\nAll about making New York City affordable\n\nFor Trump, it was a high-profile chance to talk about affordability at a time when he\u2019s under increasing political pressure to show he\u2019s addressing voter concerns about the cost of living.\n\nMamdani, who takes office in January, said he sought the meeting with Trump to talk about ways to make New York City more affordable. Trump has said he may want to help him out \u2014 although he has also falsely labelled Mamdani as a \u201ccommunist\u201d and threatened to yank federal funds from the city.\n\nBut Trump on Friday didn\u2019t sling that at the mayor. He acknowledged that he had said he had been prepared to cut off funding or make it harder for New York City to access federal resources if the two had failed to \u201cget along,\u201d only to pull back from those threats during the meeting.\n\n\u201cWe don\u2019t want that to happen,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI don\u2019t think that\u2019s going to happen.\u201d\n\nWith some dramatic public Oval Office faceoffs this year, including an infamously heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, many had feared the worst.\n\nAhead of the meeting, Mamdani said Thursday that he was not concerned about the president potentially trying to use the meeting to embarrass him publicly and said he saw it as a chance to make his case, even while acknowledging \u201cmany disagreements with the president.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhat I really appreciate about the president is that the meeting that we had focused not on places of disagreement, which there are many, and also focused on the shared purpose that we have in serving New Yorkers,\u201d Mamdani said.\n\nUltimately, both men avoided a public confrontation in a remarkably calm and cordial series of comments in front of news reporters.\n\nWith tensions subdued, Trump seemed sympathetic to Mamdani\u2019s housing-building policies.\n\n\u201cPeople would be shocked, but I want to see the same thing,\u201d the president said.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>US President Donald Trump on Friday met the man who had proudly proclaimed himself Trump\u2019s \"worst nightmare,\u201d but seemed to find the opposite in what turned out to be a very cordial meeting between the two.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking repeatedly of their shared goals to help New York rather than their combustible differences, Trump and New York City\u2019s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani were warm and friendly. <\/p>\n<p>Trump, who had in the past called Mamdani a \u201c100% Communist Lunatic\u201d and a \u201ctotal nut job,\u201d spoke openly of how impressed he was with the man who had called his administration \u201cauthoritarian.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think he is going to surprise some conservative people, actually,\u201d Trump said of the democratic socialist as Mamdani stood next to him in the Oval Office.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting offered political opportunities for both men.

Department now has 30 days to publicly release files regarding investigations into Epstein, as well as his longtime confidance and girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell. The bill also directs the Justice Department to release its internal communications on Epstein and his associates, and information regarding his death in prison.\n\nHowever, certain exemptions still apply. The legislation specifies that the Justice Department may withhold personally identifiable information about victims, any child sexual abuse material, and information that the administration considers classified for reasons of national defence or foreign policy.\n\nThe total number of files amount to roughly 100,000 pages, according to a federal judge who has reviewed the case.\n\nTrump had initially been against making the files public, after it was alleged that he may personally be implicated. However, pressure from both political opponents and within his own party grew, pushing him to provide greater transparency regarding the files.\n\nThe US president repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, claiming he had cut ties with Epstein years ago.\n\nWho was Jeffrey Epstein?\n\nJeffrey Epstein was accused of having trafficked women, many of them underage, and forced them to perform sexual acts on his friends, largely comprised of entrepreneurs, lawmakers and wealthy individuals from the US and abroad, in parties on his infamous Little Saint James private island in the US Virgin Islands.\n\nMany of the world\u2019s richest and most influential people were alleged to have participated in Epstein\u2019s parties, including Trump, Elon Musk, the former-Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and others, all of whom denied any wrongdoing.\n\nAllegations started surfacing around Epstein\u2019s crimes in 2005. He first faced criminal charges a year later at a Florida court where he was indicted on a single charge of soliciting prostitution.\n\nSince then, many more victims came forward, accusing Epstein of trafficking them on his island, along with his longtime partner and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.\n\nEpstein was later arrested in 2019, after more than a decade of accusations against him. He was charged with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. Epstein died in prison in August of the same year by suicide while awaiting trial.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>Donald Trump signed a bill approving the release of the case files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the US president revealed in a state on his social media platform, Truth Social. <\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department now has 30 days to publicly release files regarding investigations into Epstein, as well as his longtime confidance and girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell.

The legislation specifies that the Justice Department may withhold personally identifiable information about victims, any child sexual abuse material, and information that the administration considers classified for reasons of national defence or foreign policy.<\/p>\n<p>The total number of files amount to roughly 100,000 pages, according to a federal judge who has reviewed the case.<\/p>\n<p>Trump had initially been against making the files public, after it was alleged that he may personally be implicated. However, pressure from both political opponents and within his own party grew, pushing him to provide greater transparency regarding the files. <\/p>\n<p>The US president repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, claiming he had cut ties with Epstein years ago. <\/p>\n<h2>Who was Jeffrey Epstein?<\/h2>\n<p>Jeffrey Epstein was accused of having trafficked women, many of them underage, and forced them to perform sexual acts on his friends, largely comprised of entrepreneurs, lawmakers and wealthy individuals from the US and abroad, in parties on his infamous Little Saint James private island in the US Virgin Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the world\u2019s richest and most influential people were alleged to have participated in Epstein\u2019s parties, including Trump, Elon Musk, the former-Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Bill Clinton and others, all of whom denied any wrongdoing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image widget--size-fullwidth widget--animation-fade-in widget--align-center\" data-ratio=\"0.8447265625\">\n <div class=\"widget__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"widget__ratio widget__ratio--auto\">\n <div class=\"widget__contents\">\n <figure class=\"widget__figure\">\n <img class=\"widgetImage__image\" loading=\"lazy\" src=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////static.euronews.com//articles//stories//09//48//59//41//808x685_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg/" alt=\"FILE &#x2014; This March 28, 2017 photo, provided by the New York State Sex Offender Registry, shows Jeffrey Epstein. \" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/384x324_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 384w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/640x541_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 640w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/750x634_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 750w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/828x699_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 828w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/1080x912_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/1200x1014_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/static.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/48\/59\/41\/1920x1622_cmsv2_bac5ee6e-6fbd-5d05-8c01-d42c4f236d83-9485941.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 95vw, (max-width: 1024px) 80vw, (max-width: 1280px) 55vw, 728px\"\/>\n <figcaption class=\"widget__caption\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionWrap\">\n <span class=\"widget__captionText\">FILE &#x2014; This March 28, 2017 photo, provided by the New York State Sex Offender Registry, shows Jeffrey Epstein. <\/span>\n <span class=\"widget__captionCredit\">New York State Sex Offender Registry via AP, File<\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/figcaption>\n <\/figure>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>Allegations started surfacing around Epstein\u2019s crimes in 2005.

to the US President Donald Trump reversing his position and announcing that he would endorse the House vote on the release of the Epstein files, one journalist clearly hit a nerve by asking about the files, leading to a sexist insult made by Trump to go viral.\u00a0\n\nWhen addressing reporters on board Air Force One last Friday, Trump was asked about recently released emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, specificially the ones which mentioned the president.\u00a0\n\nEpstein called Trump \u201cdangerous\u201d, wrote that he had \u201cmet some very bad people...none as bad as Trump\u201d, and claimed that the US President \u201cknew about the girls\u201d.\u00a0\n\nTrump claimed ignorance on the matter and said the focus should be on others named in the emails, including former US President Bill Clinton.\u00a0\n\nWhen Catherine Lucey, Bloomberg\u2019s White House correspondent,\u00a0tried to ask a follow-up question on Epstein, Trump turned to her and said: \"Quiet. Quiet, piggy.\"\u00a0\n\nCharming.\u00a0\n\nWhile his remark on Air Force One did not initially gain much traction, attention has picked up online, leading critics from both sides of the aisle to accuse Trump of trying to \u201cshut women journalists up\u201d with \u201cdemeaning language.\u201d\u00a0\n\nCNN anchor Jake Tapper described the incident as \u201cdisgusting and completely unacceptable\u201d on X, while former Fox News anchor Gretchen Carlson called the remark \u201cdisgusting and degrading\u201d. \u00a0\n\nWhen asked for comment about Trump\u2019s insult, a White House official\u00a0stated: \u201cThis reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane.\u201d\u00a0\n\nNo evidence for this allegation was provided. \u00a0\n\n\u201cIf you\u2019re going to give it, you have to be able to take,\u201d the statement shared with The Guardian continued.\u00a0\n\nWhen asked for specifics regarding what Lucey had done that was \u201cinappropriate\u201d, the White House did not respond.\n\nThe disparaging phrase \u201cQuiet, piggy\u201d has now begun trending online, with many posting images of Trump as a pig.\n\nGovernor of California Gavin Newsom, who has been using is social media platforms to beat Trump at his own game, led the charge by mimicking Trump\u2019s memetic warfare.\n\nMany online followed suit,\u00a0highlighting the vile nature of Trump's outburst and how it is beneath the office of the President of the United States. \u00a0\n\nOthers pointed out that as awful as the comments were, the fact that none of Catherine Lucey\u2019s colleagues objected or defended her was worse. \u00a0\n\nIt\u2019s worth noting that this sexist insult\u00a0seems to be a favourite for Trump, as he called comedian and TV host\u00a0Rosie O\u2019Donnell - with whom he has had an ongoing feud for many years - a \u201cbig, fat pig\u201d in 2006, and previously referred to 1996\u2019s Miss Universe Alicia Machado as \u201cMiss Piggy\u201d, before telling her to lose weight.\u00a0\n\nTaking a further step back, misogynist comments and gendered attacks are a pattern for Trump, who rarely passes up an\u00a0opportunity demean female journalists in the aim of shutting them up.\u00a0\n\nDuring his first presidential campaign, then Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly asked Trump about him referring to women as \u201cfat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals\u201d. Trump smirked and interjected that he only used those kinds of words about O'Donnell. Later, when talking about the debate, Trump said of Kelly: \u201cThere was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.\u201d\n\nIn 2018, the International Women\u2019s Media Foundation (IWMF) called on Trump\u2019s Whte House to be more respectful toward female journalists. The organisation referred to \u201crecent demeaning language from the president against female journalists of colour\u201d.\u00a0\n\nAn example of this came in 2020, during a press briefing about COVID-19. Trump insulted journalist Yamiche Alcindor and told her to \u201cbe nice, don\u2019t be threatening\u201d.\n\nAnd only yesterday, during a White House visit with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Trump denounced ABC News' Mary Bruce as a \u201cterrible reporter\u201d and threatened the network's license to broadcast after she asked him questions at the White House.\u00a0\n\nBruce asked Trump whether it was appropriate for his family to be doing business in Saudi Arabia while he was president, and asked the Saudi leader: \u201cYour Royal Highness, the US intelligence concluded that you orchestrated the brutal murder of a journalist\u201d - referring to 2018, when Saudi officials lured Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi to Turkey and dismembering his body with a bone saw. \u201c9\/11 families are furious that you are here in the Oval Office. Why should Americans trust you? And the same to you, Mr. President.\u201d\u00a0\n\nTrump retorted by calling ABC \u201cfake news\u201d and dismissed the US intelligence findings that the prince likely had some culpability in\u00a0Khashoggi\u2019s murder. He said \u201ca lot of people didn't like\u201d Khashoggi. For his part, Prince Mohammed said Khashoggi\u2019s death was painful and \u201ca huge mistake.\u201d\n\nTrump went on to\u00a0criticise Bruce for asking the prince a \u201chorrible, insubordinate and just a terrible question.\u201d\n\nWhen Bruce about why the White House was waiting for congressional action to release more details about Epstein\u2019s correspondence, Trump doubled down by saying: \u201cIt\u2019s not the question that I mind. It\u2019s your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter. It\u2019s the way you ask these questions.\u201d\n\nMeanwhile, Bloomberg News has now issued a comment on Trump referring to Catherine Lucey as \u201cpiggy\u201d.

The government's last jobs report was for August, and inflation for September.\n\nSeptember jobs data will finally be published on Thursday, and are expected to show a small gain of 50,000 jobs that month and an unchanged unemployment rate at a still-low 4.3%.\n\nFor now, Wall Street investors put the odds of a December rate cut at 50-50, according to CME Fedwatch, down sharply from nearly 94% a month ago. The decline has contributed to the stock market's drops this week.\n\nAfter cutting their key rate in September for the first time this year, Fed policymakers signalled they expected to cut twice more, in October and December.\n\nBut after implementing a second reduction 29 October, Powell poured cold water on the prospects of another cut, describing it as \u201cnot a foregone conclusion \u2014 far from it\u201d.\n\nAnd speeches last week by a raft of regional Fed officials pushed the market odds of a December cut even lower. Susan Collins, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, said: \u201cin all of my conversations with contacts across New England, I hear concerns about elevated prices.\"\n\nCollins said that keeping the Fed's key rate at its current level of about 3.9% would help bring inflation down. The economy \u201chas been holding up quite well\u201d even with interest rates where they are, she added.\n\nManaging the inflation risk\n\nSeveral other regional presidents voiced similar concerns, including Raphael Bostic of the Atlanta Fed, Alberto Musalem of the St. Louis Fed, and Jeffrey Schmid at the Kansas City Fed. Musalem, Collins, and Schmid are among the 12 officials who vote on policy this year. Schmid dissented in October in favour of keeping rates unchanged.\n\n\u201cWhen I talk to contacts in my district, I hear continued concern over the pace of price increases,\u201d Schmid said Friday. \u201cSome of this has to do with the effect of tariffs on input prices, but it is not just tariffs \u2014 or even primarily tariffs \u2014 that has people worried. I hear concerns about rising health care costs and insurance premiums, and I hear a lot about electricity.\"\n\nOn Monday, however, Waller argued that sluggish hiring is a bigger concern, and renewed his call for a rate cut next month.\n\n\u201cThe labour market is still weak and near stall speed,\u201d he said. \u201cInflation through September continued to show relatively small effects from tariffs and support the hypothesis that tariffs ... are not a persistent source of inflation.\u201d\n\nWaller also dismissed the concern \u2014 voiced by Schmid and others \u2014 that the Fed should keep rates elevated because inflation has topped the Fed's 2% target for five years. So far that hasn't led the public to worry that inflation will stay elevated for an extended period, Waller noted.\n\n\u201cYou can\u2019t just sort of say it\u2019s been above target for five years, so I\u2019m not going to cut,\u201d he added. \u201cYou got to give us better answers than that.\u201d\n\nThere could be consensus for an interest rate cut if, say, new data for October and November show the economy shedding jobs, according to Esther George, the former president of the Kansas City Fed.\n\nIt's also worth noting that many economists had expected multiple dissents in September, but instead only Stephen Miran, a governor appointed that month by President Donald Trump, voted against the rate cut decision, in favour of an even bigger reduction.\n\n\u201cRegistering a dissent is a hard decision, and I think you\u2019re going to find people that are speaking today that wouldn\u2019t follow through with a vote in that direction,\u201d she said. \u201cI think you\u2019re going to find enough consensus, whichever way they go.\"\n\n","htmlText":"<p>What was once seen as a near-certain cut in interest rates next month now looks more like a coin flip as Federal Reserve officials sharply disagree over the economy's health and whether stubborn inflation or weak hiring represent a bigger threat.<\/p>\n<p>In several speeches in the past week, some policymakers have registered greater concern over persistent inflation in an echo of the \u201caffordability\u201d concerns that played a large role in elections earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, another camp is much more concerned about meagre hiring and the threat that the \"low-hire, low-fire\" job market could worsen into one where layoffs become more widespread.<\/p>\n<p>The turmoil on the Fed's 19-member interest-rate setting committee reflects a deeply uncertain economic outlook brought about by multiple factors, including tariffs, artificial intelligence, and changes in immigration and tax policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s reflective of a ton of uncertainty,\u201d said Luke Tilley, chief economist at M&amp;T Bank. \u201cIt\u2019s not surprising at all that there\u2019s a wide divergence of opinions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fewer rate cuts by the Fed could leave borrowing costs for homes and cars elevated.

raft of emails and documents released by a US House committee relating to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is drawing renewed attention to his ties to elite business and financial networks. The fresh wave of scrutiny comes long after Epstein's 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.\n\nOn 2 September 2025, the committee released over 33,000 pages of current records provided by the United States Department of Justice related to Jeffrey Epstein.\n\nIn mid-November, the committee then released roughly 20,000 pages of additional materials from Epstein\u2019s estate, including newly-seen emails. All of the documents are publicly available.\n\nSo far, one of the most high-profile business world figures to be named in the emails is former US treasury secretary and former Harvard president Larry Summers.\n\nSummers wrote in one email exchange with Epstein: \"I\u2019m trying to figure why (the) American elite think if u murder your baby by beating and abandonment it must be irrelevant to your admission to Harvard, but hit on a few women 10 years ago and can\u2019t work at a network or think tank. DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT.\"\n\nMost of Epstein's email interactions with leading business figures are written in a casual and conversational tone and often feature typos and haphazard grammar, as well as crude remarks many of these figures likely never expected to go public.\n\nSummers also made a reference to women's IQ, writing: \"I observed that half of the IQ in (the) world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51% of population.\"\n\nThese comments are being read against the backdrop of his earlier 2005\u201306 controversy at Harvard, when remarks he made about women\u2019s representation in science and engineering contributed to his resignation as university president.\n\nSummers has said he will step back from public commitments after emails showed he maintained friendly contact with Epstein for years, even as he advised companies, governments, and technology firms.\n\nOnce heralded as the best-known macroeconomic policymaker of his generation, Summers was a prominent figure in the administrations of former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.\n\nThe Harvard professor said in a statement sent to the university's student newspaper on Monday, The Harvard Crimson, that he wanted to \"rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me\".\n\n\"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognise the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr Epstein,\" he said.\n\nBelow is a non-exhaustive list of other key economic, financial industry, and investment players mentioned in the emails. Inclusion in the emails alone does not signal legal wrongdoing.\n\n1. Peter Thiel\n\nWho he is: Co-founder of PayPal and Palantir, early Facebook investor, prominent figure in the US and global tech sector, and venture capital investor.\n\nWhat the records show: Newly released material and earlier reporting show Epstein cultivated contact with Thiel in the mid-2010s after Epstein pled guilty in Florida to solicitation of prostitution involving a minor in 2008. One email cited in coverage has Epstein emailing Thiel, writing: \u201cthat was fun, see you in 3 weeks.\u201d\n\nOther accounts describe Epstein approaching Thiel around potential investments, including emergency-services start-up projects, though no major deals are publicly reported to have resulted. Thiel\u2019s presence in the correspondences underlines that Epstein, though a disgraced financier, remained a contact among top-tier technology investors.\n\n2. Reid Hoffman\n\nWho he is: Co-founder of LinkedIn and a partner at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Greylock Partners.\n\nWhat the records show: Hoffman is named in the Oversight Committee cache of Epstein-related documents. Separate reporting, predating the latest email dump, documented his participation in meetings involving Epstein linked to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u2019s Media Lab and at least one visit to Epstein\u2019s private island, which Hoffman has since apologised for.\n\n3. Jes Staley\n\nWho he is: Former head of JPMorgan\u2019s investment bank and later CEO of Barclays, one of the UK\u2019s largest lenders.\n\nWhat the records show: UK regulators found that Staley and Epstein exchanged more than 1,200 emails between 2008 and 2012 while Staley was at JPMorgan, with contact continuing after Epstein\u2019s release from jail in 2009.\n\nThe UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) concluded that Staley recklessly misled it about the nature and extent of the relationship when questions were raised after he joined Barclays. Staley has admitted he had intimate relations with an \"Epstein assistant\".\n\nThe Upper Tribunal has since upheld the FCA\u2019s decision to ban him from senior roles in financial services.\n\n4. Kathryn Ruemmler\n\nWho she is: Chief legal officer at Goldman Sachs, former White House counsel to President Barack Obama, and a former federal prosecutor.\n\nWhat the records show: Emails released in recent days show Ruemmler maintained contact with Epstein after his conviction. In one exchange about Donald Trump, she reportedly described the former president's success as \"seriously scary\".\n\nGoldman Sachs insisted that Ruemmler met Epstein as part of her work as a lawyer and never accepted an invitation or an opportunity to fly with him anywhere.\n\nIn 2023, Ms Ruemmler told the Wall Street Journal: \"I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein.\"\n\nRuemmler co-leads Goldman\u2019s reputational risk committee. Her emails with Epstein are therefore being seen as a test of how a major global bank treats conflicts between personal networks and institutional values.\n\n5. Les Wexner\n\nWho he is: Founder of L Brands, the company behind Victoria\u2019s Secret.\n\nWhat the records show: Epstein managed aspects of Wexner\u2019s personal fortune for years and at one point had power of attorney over some of his finances. Epstein used a Manhattan townhouse owned by a Wexner-linked entity as his primary residence. In 2019, Wexner said he severed ties with Epstein \"nearly 12 years ago\".\n\nGoing forward\n\nTaken together, these cases do not demonstrate that the executives and investors above participated in Epstein\u2019s criminal activity.\n\nThey do show that senior figures at major banks, funds, technology firms, and law firms continued to interact with him, sometimes on highly favourable terms, even after his conviction was a matter of public record.\n\nNow that both the House and Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday night to pass a bill forcing the Justice Department to release its files on Epstein, it is possible new names will surface of other business or financial figures who either interacted or collaborated with the convicted sex offender.\n\n","htmlText":"<p>A raft of emails and documents released by a US House committee relating to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein is drawing renewed attention to his ties to elite business and financial networks.

DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT.\"<\/p>\n<p>Most of Epstein's email interactions with leading business figures are written in a casual and conversational tone and often feature typos and haphazard grammar, as well as crude remarks many of these figures likely never expected to go public.<\/p>\n<p>Summers also made a reference to women's IQ, writing: \"I observed that half of the IQ in (the) world was possessed by women without mentioning they are more than 51% of population.\"<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id=\"\" data-event=\"widget_related\">\n <div class=\"c-widget-related__title\">\n <b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b>\n <\/div>\n <ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n <li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2025//11//12//white-house-slams-emails-suggesting-trump-knew-about-epsteins-conduct-as-fake-narrative/">White House slams emails suggesting Trump knew about Epstein's conduct\u2028as 'fake narrative'<\/a><\/li><li class=\"c-widget-related__item\"><a class=\"c-widget-related__article\" href=https://www.euronews.com/"https:////www.euronews.com//2025//11//17//in-a-rare-reversal-trump-calls-on-house-republicans-to-vote-to-release-epstein-files/">Trump calls on House Republicans to vote to release Epstein files<\/a><\/li>\n <\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>These comments are being read against the backdrop of his earlier 2005\u201306 controversy at Harvard, when remarks he made about women\u2019s representation in science and engineering contributed to his resignation as university president.<\/p>\n<p>Summers has said he will step back from public commitments after emails showed he maintained friendly contact with Epstein for years, even as he advised companies, governments, and technology firms. <\/p>\n<p>Once heralded as the best-known macroeconomic policymaker of his generation, Summers was a prominent figure in the administrations of former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama.<\/p>\n<p>The Harvard professor said in a statement sent to the university's student newspaper on Monday, The Harvard Crimson, that he wanted to \"rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me\".<\/p>\n<p>\"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognise the pain they have caused.
