2 The latest details show that in February 2007, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie Villafaña opened a money-laundering probe into Epstein and six of his companies. She subpoenaed every financial transaction since 2003 — and warned her bosses not to close the sex-crime plea deal

3 The new emails don’t just show lawyers talking but panic. Federal prosecutors were chasing Epstein’s money trail a year before he went to jail. Grand-jury subpoenas. Draft indictments. Internal DOJ memos. And Epstein himself, typing rants from his Yahoo account, terrified

4 Emails show Epstein’s lawyers (including Dershowitz and Starr) complained to DOJ leadership, calling Villafaña’s investigation “heavy-handed.” Behind the scenes, they lobbied to remove her. Days before she planned to indict, Epstein signed his non-prosecution agreement. They

5 The probe wasn’t imaginary. Epstein’s case file in the U.S. Attorney’s Office literally included a folder titled “Money Laundering,” containing subpoenas to JPMorgan Chase, Bear Stearns, and Washington Mutual. Sources confirm JPMorgan was subpoenaed in 2007 — a fact the bank

6 Former DOJ official Stefan Cassella told Bloomberg that if the money-laundering case had continued, prosecutors could’ve exposed the financial enablers of Epstein’s trafficking network, and recovered restitution for survivors. Instead, the case was shut down the day he pled

7 This release also calls into question Alex Acosta, the U.S. Attorney who approved Epstein’s plea deal. He told Congress last month he didn’t recall any “financial-crime discussions.” But these emails show he was copied on the correspondence.

8 While Congress stalls and Acosta “forgets” major details, the truth sits locked away and survivors remain sidelined, begging for transparency. Reps Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna are still pushing the Epstein Files Transparency Act—a bipartisan move to force the release of every

@AmberWoods100 Get some sleep Amber it’s early

@craftbeer_dad I’ll sleep in the next version of me. 😅✊🏼

@AmberWoods100 The fact that a clear money-laundering probe was apparently sidelined suggests a deep-seated problem with oversight mechanisms protecting the connected elite. We need robust, independent bodies that can follow the evidence without fear or favor.

@AmberWoods100 Ah, the Epstein drip-feed: Bloomberg rips open the '07 money-launder probe that DOJ buried faster than a Giuliani alibi. Villafaña's subpoenas? Ignored to shield the predator elite—Rudy's sweat lodge, Mike's donor den. Trump's "best people" indeed. When do we #DrainTheSwamp for

@AmberWoods100 Epstein could’ve been brought down years before he finally was had his attorneys not negotiated a ‘no prosecution’ deal for him that allowed him to go on abusing women with total impunity. See “Nobody’s Girl” by Virginia Giuffre.

@AmberWoods100 ‼️RELEASE the EPSTEIN FILES‼️

@AmberWoods100 😡 WHY Trump wants to SILENCE Maxwell: His "PUSSY COMMITTEE"‼️ The "Pussy Committee", according to journalist Michael Wolff, is a term used by Trump AND Epstein to describe their collaborative efforts to procure underage & young women for Prince Andrew‼️https://x.com/Acyn/status/1954...

@AmberWoods100 😡WHY Trump wants to DIVERT Americans from realizing his ongoing SUPPORT of PEDOPHILIA: 🤮 The "Pussy Committee", according to journalist Michael Wolff, is a term used by TRUMP & EPSTEIN to describe their efforts to find underage girls for Prince Andrew‼️https://youtu.be/U4Pnj-w2gSs?s...

@AmberWoods100 Berman of the SDNY was fired after he busted Epstein. I covered his press conference

@AmberWoods100 Names, we want names.

@AmberWoods100 Where do we read these?

@AmberWoods100 We suspect it is a lot more than pedophilia going on. Possibly childr sacrifice that involves whoever controls both US parties

@AmberWoods100 Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files! Release the Epstein Files!

@AmberWoods100 I bet Bloomberg is a pedo too. Big money, now he pushes Cuomo and then this kind of articles. Like to whitewash him to underline his other statements about the vote...

@AmberWoods100 They can't keep covering this horrible story up. It'll come out one way or the other. The victims,who on a daily basis are confronted with their terrible memories by the media, should get rest, respect, and justice.

@AmberWoods100 https://x.com/letshearthetru/s...

@AmberWoods100 Get everyone

@AmberWoods100 wasn't jes staley one of the alleged men Epstein trafficked young woman to?

@AmberWoods100 Boggles the mind how hundred in Congress, who supposedly seek the truth for the people, aren’t. And now we’re hostage waiting for 1 member to be introduced so we can attempt to get answers. About sex trafficking and raping children. What we’ve become….

@AmberWoods100 Omg there was a concerted effort to stop the investigation.... how is @FBIDirectorKash not concerned at all. Doesn't he care about the victims? These are clear signs powerful men were doing something illegal

@AmberWoods100 @1bluestarmomma I’m so sick of the drip-release and others with the power to expose this evil and not doing it. They are just as complicit as any other players in this mad game. It is unfathomable that people are holding back evidence of these wide spread crimes.

@AmberWoods100 What a world we live in. I never thought I would see the day when an acting President and several members of Congress would blatantly and in plain sight protect pedophiles. A sad state our Congress is in right now.

@AmberWoods100 Isn’t this Bloomberg with Ghislaine?

@AmberWoods100 I had an idea world events might have something to do with international money laundering operations, but when Julian Assange flat out said exactly that a long time ago, I was then certain of it.
