Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell 'boasted of collecting compromising material on the rich and famous'

Jeffrey Epstein whined about getting compromising material on “millions ” of both rich and famous men and women, it’s been claimed, although his British confidante Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly told friends she and Epstein were videotaping everyone who seen Epstein’s island in the Caribbean. The claims came as expectation mounts his long-term companion Miss Maxwell, 57, might be hunted by New York prosecutors for questioning because of a potential witness, since they continue their query to Epstein’s activities, after his passing. Even the Brooklyn-born financier was discovered dead in his prison cell on Saturday, in what’s thought to be suicide. He had been anticipating a trial on behalf of sexual trafficking of minors. On Tuesday the warden of the prison where Epstein expired, the Metropolitan Correctional Centre in Manhattan, was sentenced to another prison, and the two guards on duty at the night he died were put on leave. William Barr, the attorney general, declared he had “led at the Bureau of Prisons to briefly assign” warden Lamine N’Diaye into a regional division, pending the results of internal investigations into Epstein’s passing. Mr Barr has criticised the prison for permitting Epstein to die. Numerous Epstein accusers have claimed that Miss Maxwell served as Epstein’s recruiter and enabler. She has denied some accusations of erroneous, and hasn’t been billed. Ghislaine Maxwell pictured with her father, newspaper owner Robert Maxwell, in Cannes in 1987 Geoffrey Berman, US attorney for the Southern District of New York, confirmed on Saturday that ldquo;his investigation of the conduct charged in the Indictment — which included in conspiracy count — remains continuing. ” William Barr, the US attorney general, went further, focusing on Monday that “some co-conspirators shouldn’t rest easy. ” On Monday the FBI raided Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands, which was chased by natives “Paedophile Island”. Epstein purchased the picturesque island off the coast of St. Thomas for $7.95 million (£6.6m) in 1998. He went on to build a sprawling estate featuring a 24,000-square-foot personal house, two pools, a spa and a strange blue-striped arrangement, described as a temple, which has been the subject of endless online interest. Former workers on the island also have advised of numerous young girls being seen at the expansive property. A swarm of federal agents has been seen fanning out over Little St James in clubs about 10:30 am.

We're all really curious why it's happening now.” Epstein was understood to work with the island as a gathering area for his or her guests. Bill Clinton was reported as having seen — although he has denied ever setting foot on the island. A friend of Miss Maxwell on Tuesday told Vanity Fair that Miss Maxwell stated she and Epstein filmed the guests around the island ldquo;as an insurance policy, as blackmail. ” Miss Maxwell's attorneys, contacted by The Telegraph, are yet to reply to the accusations. Miss Maxwell's whereabouts are currently unknown. James Stewart, a business correspondent for The New York Times, reported Tuesday particulars of a strange assembly with Epstein in August 2018, conducted off-the-record amid rumours that Epstein was advising Elon Musk on Tesla. “The predominant impression I took away from our roughly 90-minute dialog was that Mr Epstein understood an astounding number of rich, famous and powerful individuals, and had photos to prove this,” composed Stewart. “He claimed to know a whole lot about these individuals, some of it potentially damaging or embarrassing, including details about their supposed sexual proclivities and recreational drug use. ” Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump, pictured in Mar-a-Lago in 1997 Stewart described Epstein, who had been convicted of procuring minors for prostitution in 2007 but dodged federal fees and just served as a 13-month sentence, as “unapologetic”. “His very notoriety, he stated, was what made so many individuals prepared to confide in him,” he composed. “Everyone, he suggested, has secrets and also , he added, with his own, they seemed benign. People confided in him without feeling awkward or embarrassed, he claimed. ” Stewart noticed how the door to Epstein’s palatial house in New York was started with a young girl, a teenager or in her early 20s, having an Eastern European accent. “Given Mr Epstein’s beyond, that struck me as far too near the lineup,” he composed. “Why could Mr Epstein desire a reporter’s first impression to be the a young lady opening his door? ” Epstein later contacted Stewart to invite him for dinner with him and Woody Allen, and then with writer Michael Wolff and Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon. Epstein then indicated to Stewart that he compose his autobiography. “Already leery of some further ties to me , I was relieved I could state that I was busy with another book,” he explained. “That was the last I learned from him. Following his arrest and suicide, I’m left to wonder: What might he have explained? ”
