Wow—the complaint above dated 1996 was made by Maria Farmer:
Maria has been accused over the years of fabricating her story that she had gone to the FBI. After finding the document in the trove, I called her. She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years. I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

This Epstein files document says that Epstein allegedly threatened to burn a young woman’s house down if she revealed that he had stolen and sold personal photographs she had taken of her sisters.
The sisters were 12 and 16 years old.

So the Epstein Files are:
–not complete
–comically redacted
–not in a “searchable” format
The Trump-Vance administration had months to recover from the embarrassing influencer binder photo-op and this is what they came up with.

This stuff was just on an absolutely industrial scale. This is a girl who was aged 14 to 16 and she alone saw Epstein *100 times*. This, btw, was at the peak of Epstein's influence and his celebrity friendships:

The Block The Bombs Act, which would legally suspend a large portion of American offensive military assistance to Israel, now has 60 cosponsors in the House of Representatives.
It is also endorsed by the Congressional Progressive Caucus, the first ever Israel-Palestine related bill to acquire it.

It's worth reading through the whole thing, not just these horrific excerpts. Most important: not a single person -- with the exception of a guy who says he'll turn on CNN if he's out of other options -- gets their news from actual journalists. It's all RW podcasts, YouTubers and TikTok.
