Reporting based on the documents says Shuliak was named the primary beneficiary in Epstein’s last-minute estate planning, and Epstein referenced a 32.73-carat diamond ring along with 48 loose diamonds connected to a planned marriage.
On the property side, coverage says Epstein intended to leave Shuliak a large share of his marquee holdings, including his U.S. Virgin Islands private island property (commonly linked to Little Saint James), the Upper East Side Manhattan townhouse, Zorro Ranch in New Mexico, and residences tied to Palm Beach and Paris.
The key caveat: multiple reports stress it’s unclear how much, if any, of this was actually received, because the estate has been heavily shaped by victim compensation, creditor claims, taxes, and legal costs, with distributions dependent on what remains after liabilities.
Mexico’s January inflation data delivered a slightly cooler headline than markets expected, but a firmer core print, keeping the policy debate alive and making the read-through for the peso (MXN) more nuanced than a simple “cooling inflation” story.
MXN angle:
A softer headline can support expectations for eventual easing, but the hotter core argues for caution—often keeping rates and carry supportive for MXN, while also raising the risk that markets reprice policy “higher for longer” if core fails to cool.
Newly resurfaced estate documents show Jeffrey Epstein named Boris Nikolic—a former Bill Gates science adviser and biotech investor—as a successor (backup) executor in his Last Will & Testament, signed two days before Epstein’s death in 2019.
Nikolic said he was “shocked” to learn he’d been named and added: “I was not consulted in these matters and I have no intent to fulfill these duties, whatsoever.”
The will lists longtime Epstein associates Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn as executors, with Nikolic positioned as a fallback if needed—an odd detail that continues to fuel questions about Epstein’s last-minute legal planning and influence network.
A new set of posts circulating from the latest U.S. DOJ “Epstein files” dump claims an email exchange shows Steve Bannon outlining an explicit regime-change style agenda toward China—“break China… remove Xi…” and secure U.S. global hegemony for 100 years. The claim is being amplified largely through screenshots and social-media reposts, not through a published primary document with clear chain-of-custody, so the specific wording should be treated as unverified unless matched to the underlying DOJ release.
What is clearer from broader reporting around the dump is that the release contains communications linking Epstein to numerous political and power-broker figures, which has reignited scrutiny over how he used relationships to trade influence—even after his 2008 conviction.
Freshly released Justice Department material is fueling renewed scrutiny of the Clinton–Epstein overlap after reporting said Ghislaine Maxwell was involved in early planning for the first Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and obtained wiring instructions to send $1 million to Publicis Groupe for work described in an email as “the Clinton project.”
Crucially, the reporting notes the source of the $1 million is unclear—including whether it came from Epstein—while the emails indicate Epstein was aware of the payment and pressed Maxwell on why the money was being sent “now” and where it would go.
The images circulating alongside the claim (showing Bill Clinton with Maxwell and an unidentified person whose face is obscured) reflect the broader dynamic of the latest disclosure wave: large-volume document dumps that add texture about relationships and logistics, without necessarily proving illegality by named public figures. The DOJ release itself has been described as millions of pages plus thousands of videos/images, reigniting political and media attention around who knew what—and when.
A new viral claim tied to the latest U.S. Justice Department (DOJ) release of Jeffrey Epstein records alleges that an Epstein-linked entity ordered six 55-gallon drums of sulfuric acid (330 gallons total) in December 2018—timed, according to posts circulating online, to the same day federal investigators began or renewed scrutiny.
The allegation is spreading via screenshots and reposts, with some commentators implying evidence-destruction motives. But the underlying document and its context remain unclear in the public discussion, and sulfuric acid also has routine industrial uses—especially for remote-site operations such as water treatment, battery/solar systems, or maintenance.
The claim is surfacing amid a much larger wave of disclosures: DOJ says it has published roughly 3.5 million responsive pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, alongside thousands of videos and images—reigniting scrutiny, speculation, and calls for clearer sourcing and verification of high-velocity “file” claims circulating on social media.
A screenshot circulating online—presented as part of the latest “Epstein files” leak—shows a May 2018 email chain allegedly between Jeffrey Epstein ([email protected]) and Steve Bannon. In the message, Epstein brags about bringing a “very pretty American-looking” assistant who was “silently fluent” in multiple East Asian dialects, then attributes to Chinese/Korean diplomats a warning that includes an antisemitic slur (“be careful of the Jewish dog”). Bannon’s visible reply reads “Mine’s classier,” followed by Epstein joking that both Bannon and Kim Jong Un have “upgraded their advisors.”
The screenshot cannot be authenticated on its own (no underlying file hash/chain-of-custody is shown), but if genuine it reinforces two recurring themes in Epstein-related correspondence: objectification of women and casual bigotry, while also highlighting his continued contact with high-profile political figures years after his 2008 conviction.
Ghislaine Maxwell refused to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein during a closed-door House Oversight Committee deposition via video link, invoking the Fifth Amendment. In a statement relayed to lawmakers, her attorney David Oscar Markus said Maxwell is “prepared to speak fully and honestly” if granted clemency by President Donald Trump, and would testify that Trump (and Bill Clinton) are innocent of wrongdoing connected to Epstein.
Lawmakers from both parties criticized the move as an overt bid for a pardon/commutation, noting the committee effectively got no substantive testimony. Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal sentence and is pursuing post-conviction appeals, which her legal team cites as the reason for refusing to testify without clemency.
U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said Washington has approved a $11 million sale of surveillance/reconnaissance drone technology to Armenia, framing it as a security backstop to “make sure that the peace we’re creating sticks.”
The announcement is notable because it marks a first meaningful entry point for U.S. drone systems in Armenia’s defense procurement, even if the dollar value is modest, as Yerevan broadens partnerships amid a U.S.-supported regional peace push.
Vance also struck a values-and-development tone, saying he feels a strong affinity for Armenia as one of the world’s oldest Christian cultures, and argued the country could serve as an “important anchor” for regional economic development alongside deeper U.S. investment and technology ties.
An Associated Press review of internal U.S. Justice Department records says FBI investigators found extensive evidence that Jeffrey Epstein sexually abused underage girls, but did not find enough proof that he operated a broader sex-trafficking ring supplying powerful men. According to the AP’s review, photos and videos seized from Epstein properties in New York, Florida, and the U.S. Virgin Islands didn’t show victims being abused or implicate additional people in the crimes; prosecutors also wrote that a rumored “client list” did not exist in the FBI’s findings.
The AP account does not clear Epstein or minimize victimization: he was arrested in 2019 on federal sex-trafficking charges before dying in jail, and Ghislaine Maxwell was later convicted for recruiting and grooming victims. The key point is that, in the DOJ/FBI record AP reviewed, investigators said they couldn’t corroborate the most sweeping claims about an elite “ring,” so no additional high-profile men were charged based on the evidence available to them.
An internal prosecutors’ memo reviewed by the Associated Press says Virginia Giuffre acknowledged writing a partly fictionalized memoir about her time with Jeffrey Epstein that included descriptions of events that “didn’t take place,” and that she gave shifting accounts during investigator interviews. The memo also notes two other Epstein victims, Giuffre said, were “lent out” to powerful men, but told investigators they had no such experience.
AP stresses investigators said they confirmed Giuffre was sexually abused by Epstein, but prosecutors wrote they could not verify several of the most sensational trafficking claims and ultimately did not bring further charges beyond Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
Ghislaine Maxwell refused—via closed-door video deposition—to answer questions from the U.S. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, instead invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, according to multiple reports.
Lawmakers said Maxwell would not respond to substantive questions and was expected only to deliver (at most) a prepared statement, frustrating investigators who want details on Epstein’s network and potential enablers.
Maxwell is serving a 20-year federal sentence for her role in Epstein’s abuse scheme; her attorneys have argued she is pursuing post-conviction challenges, which they say is why she is declining to testify.
