Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's secluded hideout hits the market
Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's former New Hampshire mansion has been listed for $2.5 million nearly five years to the day after the FBI tracked her to the property ahead of her arrest and conviction on sex trafficking charges, according to a new report.
The 156-acre mountaintop property sold for $1.1 million in 2019, according to Realtor.com -- purportedly to a limited liability company with ties to Maxwell.
She is currently appealing a 20-year prison sentence in connection with the Epstein case. He died in a federal jail cell in 2019 while awaiting his own trial.

The property includes a luxe main home that features a fieldstone fireplace, a sun room with its own wood-burning stove, and floor-to-ceiling windows. There's also a converted barn and freestanding garage.
The 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denied Ghislaine's latest appeal in December. She has filed a writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking a review at the highest level.
EPSTEIN VICTIMS NUMBERED OVER 1,000 – FAR MORE THAN PREVIOUSLY KNOWN, FEDERAL INVESTIGATORS SAY
Maxwell's appeal centers on a 2007 non-prosecution agreement between Epstein and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, which stated that "the United States also agrees that it will not institute any criminal charges against any potential co-conspirators of Epstein."
Maxwell is serving her sentence at FCI Tallahasee, where exclusive photos published by Fox News Digital over the weekend show she is keeping up a jailhouse fitness routine as she vies for her freedom.

Epstein's plea deal came from a controversial child trafficking case in the early 2000s, details of which did not emerge for more than a decade.
He received a punishment of 13 months for soliciting prostitution from a minor in Palm Beach, Florida.
The deal gained intense scrutiny years later after the Miami Herald uncovered details about the crime – so concerning that Florida lawmakers years later passed a bill that allows for the release of secret grand jury files in certain cases.

Authorities arrested him in 2019 to answer for more crimes – but he died in a New York City jail just a month later, in what was officially ruled a suicide by hanging.
The following summer, the FBI arrested Maxwell in the New Hampshire hideout.
Her former London townhouse also went up for sale recently – for nearly $4 million. It's in the UK city's upscale Belgravia neighborhood, across the street from the Nag's Head Pub and near the upscale Pantechnicon complex.

Candidates file financial reports in crowded congressional races as Jesse Jackson Jr. lays groundwork for comeback effort
With Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin and Rep. Jan Schakowsky set to retire and Rep. Danny Davis potentially ready to join them, next year's election will mark a significant changing of the guard in Illinois' congressional delegation. But one member of the old guard says he's gearing up for a comeback attempt. Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. this week filed paperwork to create an exploratory committee for a possible run in the state's 2nd Congressional District, the seat he held for almost 17 years before resigning amid a corruption probe. Jackson said in a statement that 'it is my intention to secure a place on the ballot' by circulating nominating petitions in the 2nd Congressional District. Jackson's attempt at political redemption comes a decade after he was released from federal prison for violating campaign finance laws by using $750,000 in campaign money for personal purchases that included a Rolex watch and Michael Jackson and Bruce Lee memorabilia. The 2nd District would be one of what could be four hotly contested Chicago-area congressional races in reliably Democratic districts, with candidates this week filing campaign fundraising reports covering the three-month period that scrambled Illinois politics. In addition to retirement announcements from Durbin, of Springfield, and Schakowsky, of Evanston, two of the state's Democratic members of Congress announced they'd make primary bids for the Senate seat Durbin has had a virtual lock on since 1997. The seat Jackson occupied from 1995 to 2012 is open because his successor, Rep. Robin Kelly of Matteson, is seeking to replace Durbin rather than running for another term representing a district that now stretches south along the Lake Michigan shoreline and the Indiana border from 43rd Street in Chicago to Danville in central Illinois. Jackson would be joining a field that includes seven declared Democratic candidates in the heavily blue district. Leading the way in fundraising so far is state Sen. Robert Peters, a South Side native who's held a seat previously occupied by Attorney General Kwame Raoul and President Barack Obama since 2019. In the three months ending June 30, Peters raised more than $415,000, and he entered July with nearly $375,000 in his campaign account, Federal Election Commission records show. The largest contribution to Peters, whose endorsements include U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, is $10,000 from the Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee. He's also received several contributions from current and former Illinois Senate colleagues. 'To see this kind of enthusiasm fueling our campaign in just the first six weeks is humbling,' Peters, who entered the race in mid-May, said in a statement. 'This is grassroots energy we will need as we build a big, broad coalition to take on Donald Trump and his wrecking crew in Congress.' The quarterly reports for others in the race show Adal Regis, who worked in Kelly's district office on grants, raised nearly $22,000 and had almost $15,000 on hand as of July 1; while management consultant Eric France raised more than $13,000 and had more than $1,800 on hand. Yumeka Brown, the three-term village clerk of Matteson and a commissioner on the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District Board, had $500 in the bank at the end of June. Also in the race is Cook County Commissioner Donna Miller of south suburban Lynwood, who officially entered the race after the end of the previous reporting period. The lone declared Republican candidate is Ashley Ramos, who lost to Kelly in the 2024 general election and didn't report raising any money in the previous quarter. Jackson could dramatically alter the Democratic primary race. The son of civil rights icon the Rev. Jesse Jackson and brother of U.S. Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned the 2nd District seat Nov. 21, 2012, just weeks after he won reelection despite the revelation a month earlier that federal prosecutors and the FBI were investigating possible misuse of campaign funds. Jackson had largely disappeared from public view the previous June after taking a medical leave from the House for what aides initially described as exhaustion but was later diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota as bipolar depression. In February 2013, Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of wire and mail fraud and was sentenced that August to 30 months in prison. Jackson's now former wife, former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson, later served time for federal tax fraud in covering up the spending violations. Now a talk show host on WVON-AM, Jackson unsuccessfully sought a pardon during Joe Biden's tenure in the White House. Jackson was also involved in disgraced former Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich's attempt to sell the U.S. Senate seat of then-incoming President Obama in 2008. Jackson actively sought an appointment to the seat from Blagojevich and federal authorities alleged Blagojevich fundraiser and Jackson family friend Raghuveer Nayak offered to raise up to $6 million in campaign funds for the then governor in exchange for naming Jackson to the Senate. Jackson said he had no knowledge of the offer. Blagojevich, impeached and imprisoned on federal corruption charges, was pardoned in February by President Donald Trump. Also giving up a safe Democratic congressional seat in a bid to succeed Durbin is Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Schaumburg. His decision created what so far is a seven-way Democratic primary race in the northwest suburban 8th Congressional District. The top fundraiser over the last quarter was Junaid Ahmed of Barrington, who unsuccessfully challenged Krishnamoorthi in the 2022 primary. Ahmed reported raising more than $338,000 through June 30 and ended the quarter with more than $329,000 in his campaign account, federal records show. The next-highest haul went to Dan Tully, a veteran and lawyer from Carol Stream, who reported raising nearly $205,000 and had more than $199,000 remaining at the end of June. Cook County Commissioner Kevin Morrison of Mount Prospect and Hanover Park Trustee Yasmeen Bankole, reported raising nearly $183,000 and more than $109,000, respectively. Morrison, the first openly LGBTQ member of the Cook County Board, had nearly $153,000 on hand at the end of June, while Bankole, a former Krishnamoorthi staffer, had more than $105,000. Also cracking six figures was businesswoman Sanjyot Dunung, who reported raising nearly $109,000 but had a little less than $59,000 remaining. The Democratic field also includes Christ Kallas and Neil Khot. On the Republican side, Mark Rice, an energy entrepreneur who lost to Krishnamoorthi in the November election, raised $109,000 and had nearly $202,000. The most crowded Democratic primary field so far is in the race for Schakowsky's 9th Congressional District seat, representing portions of Chicago's North Side and North Shore and northwest suburbs. Illinois newcomer and social media content creator Kat Abughazaleh, who entered the race before Schakowsky announced her retirement, led the pack of 14 Democratic candidates with nearly $905,000 raised, records show. She spent nearly $238,000, ending the quarter with nearly $667,000 on hand. Her cash on hand total was nearly as much as the next-closest competitor, Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss, reported raising during the same period. Biss raised nearly $703,000, about half of which his campaign said was raised in the first 24 hours after he declared his candidacy in May. Biss, who on Wednesday received an endorsement from progressive U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, had more than $645,000 on hand at the end of the filing period. Rounding out the six-figure fundraisers were former Chicago Public Schools board candidate Bruce Leon, who loaned his congressional campaign $610,000, state Sen. Laura Fine of Glenview, who raised nearly $263,000 and had more than $237,000 in her account at the end of June, and Skokie School District 73.5 board member Bushra Amiwala, whose report shows nearly $199,000 raised and more than $191,000 on hand. Two other candidates with electoral track records, state Rep. Hoan Huynh and state Sen. Mike Simmons, joined the race after the close of the reporting period. Another candidate, former federal prosecutor Nick Pyati of Evanston, entered the fray Tuesday. Another heated race could be off and running if 15-term Rep. Danny Davis, 83, follows Durbin and Schakowsky into retirement. A campaign spokeswoman said Wednesday that Davis would make his decision known 'in a few weeks.' Candidates can begin collection signatures Aug. 5 for their nominating petitions to get on the primary ballot. While he could easily turn on the fundraising tap if he decides to run again, Davis reported raising less than $55,000 last quarter, finishing with a little less than $115,000 in his campaign coffers. Seeing an opportunity, political newcomer Jason Friedman, former president of Friedman Properties, reported raising more than $1 million in the preceding three months, with $906,000 left at the end of June. 'Our campaign to fight for our communities and bring relief to working families is resonating with people across the Chicago area,' Friedman said in a statement. 'As I meet with voters and local leaders, I'm energized by the strong support we've received since launching our campaign just a couple months ago and eager to build on that momentum to deliver results for the 7th District.' But the competition likely will be fierce if Davis chooses not to run. Last week, after the previous reporting period ended, Richard Boykin, a onetime Davis chief of staff and former Cook County commissioner, entered the race. Longtime state Rep. La Shawn Ford also has filed to run for the seat but has said he only will do so if Davis isn't on the ballot. Ford didn't report raising any money last quarter. Even if Davis does run again, Ford said he won't seek reelection for his state House seat next year. At the end of his current term, he'll have been in the legislature for 20 years. 'That's a long time, and I appreciate being able to serve that length of time,' Ford said in a brief interview Wednesday. Ford said he doesn't begrudge Davis for taking his time to make a decision about the future. 'Danny deserves the right to make a decision,' he said. 'I don't think his timeframe is going to hurt anyone who might want to run.' Chicago Tribune's Rick Pearson contributed. Solve the daily Crossword

Justice Department fires Maurene Comey, prosecutor on Epstein case and daughter of ex-FBI director
She didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment Wednesday. Advertisement The Trump administration has moved to fire Justice Department lawyers who have worked on cases that have provoked the president's ire, and Maurene Comey was long seen as a potential target given her father's fraught relationship over the last decade with the Republican president. James Comey was the FBI director when Trump took office in 2017, having been appointed by then-President Barack Obama. But his relationship with Trump was strained from the start, and the FBI director resisted a request by Trump at a private dinner to pledge personal loyalty to the president. Trump fired James Comey in May 2017 amid an investigation into potential ties between Russia and Trump's presidential campaign. The Justice Department recently appeared to acknowledge the existence of an investigation into James Comey, though the basis for that inquiry is unclear. Advertisement

Charlie Kirk Has A New Message For Trump Amid Epstein Firestorm
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Turning Point USA founder and staunch MAGA loyalist Charlie Kirk issued a new message to President Donald Trump on Wednesday, after the president went after Republicans and his own supporters for questioning the administration's handling of the investigation into the death of disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Kirk sought to smooth things over on Wednesday's episode of his show, saying MAGA's "emphasis" on the Epstein files is "because we care about you" and "want what's best for the presidency." Why It Matters The Department of Justice infuriated Trump's base when it released a memo last week concluding that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 in his Manhattan jail cell. It also concluded that the government is not in possession of a list of wealthy and powerful businesspeople and politicians connected to Epstein. The memo threw a wrench into years of conspiracy theories that Trump supporters peddled about Epstein's death, as well as public statements that administration officials—including Attorney General Pam Bondi and Vice President JD Vance—had made suggesting that the government was covering up his "client list." President Donald Trump is joined on stage with Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk as he finishes speaking at Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, Tuesday, July 23,... President Donald Trump is joined on stage with Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk as he finishes speaking at Turning Point USA Teen Student Action Summit at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, Tuesday, July 23, 2019. More Andrew Harnik/AP What To Know Trump this week lashed out at congressional Republicans who are pushing for the DOJ to release any "Epstein files" in its possession, as well as his supporters who he said got "duped" by the files, which his own officials repeatedly hyped. Kirk said on Wednesday's episode of his show that he believes the fissure between President Donald Trump and many of his MAGA supporters "is just a messaging misunderstanding." "What I'm going to say to the president if I see him soon, or if we talk on the phone ... is that Mr. President, the emphasis on Epstein is truly the best intentions of your most loyal followers," Kirk said. "We're not trying to score points with the CNNs or The New York Times. It's truly because we care about you. It's because we want what's best for the presidency." Kirk's comments on Wednesday came days after he said he was "done" talking about Epstein after having a phone call with Trump over the weekend. He issued his message to Trump after the president earlier in the day referred to the investigation and subsequent firestorm over Epstein as a "hoax" started by Democrats. Trump made that accusation despite the fact that Bondi said in February that Epstein's "client list" was "sitting on my desk" waiting to be reviewed and that the FBI had "thousands" of hours of videos showing Epstein with child sex abuse materials. FBI Director Kash Patel later said the FBI had no such evidence. Vance and Donald Trump Jr. also amplified MAGA claims about a client list before and during the 2024 campaign, with Trump Jr. writing on X in 2023: "Show us all the Epstein client list now!!! Why would anyone protect those scum bags? Ask yourselves this question daily and the answer becomes very apparent!!!" The president went after his supporters in a lengthy Truth Social post on Wednesday, calling them "weaklings" who "bought into this bulls***" and calling them "stupid people" later in the day. "I don't want their support anymore!" he wrote on Truth Social. Trump later softened his tone, saying in the Oval Office that Bondi can release "credible" evidence related to Epstein but maintaining that Republicans pushing for the files' full release were "stupid and foolish." Kirk pleaded with Trump on Wednesday to sympathize with his supporters while pointing out Trump's pledge to root out the so-called "deep state." "We are messengers here. We are relaying what we are hearing from your most loyal ultra-MAGA supporters all the time," Kirk said. "It's not that people are saying, you know, they want to learn about Epstein because they have any suspicion of President Trump ... No one thinks you're involved in any way in that stuff whatsoever." The president's backers in the MAGA sphere were joined in their dissatisfaction by half a dozen House Republicans, who are trying to force a floor vote calling on the DOJ to release any remaining Epstein-related documents it has in its possession in their entirety. The bipartisan motion for the floor vote is spearheaded by Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who frequently breaks with the president on budgetary issues, and Democratic Representative Ro Khanna of Florida. Massie has also been joined by five Trump loyalists: Republican Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Eric Burlison, Tim Burchett and Jeff Van Drew. The vast majority of House Democrats and Democratic activists have also called for the Trump administration to release the remaining Epstein files, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries suggestion that Trump has resisted authorizing the release because he has something to hide. House Speaker Mike Johnson also took the surprising step of calling for more "transparency" from the administration and Bondi regarding the Epstein files, despite Trump's claims that the files are a hoax and his public support of the attorney general. What People Are Saying Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia wrote on X last week: "RELEASE THE EPSTEIN CLIENT LIST!!!!" Republican Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky posted to X on Tuesday: "We all deserve to know what's in the Epstein files, who's implicated, and how deep this corruption goes. Americans were promised justice and transparency. We're introducing a discharge petition to force a vote in the US House of Representatives on releasing the COMPLETE files." Trump wrote in his Truth Social missive on Wednesday: "Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bull****,' hook, line, and sinker ... They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years." What Happens Next Bondi has not yet said whether the DOJ will move to release more information regarding Epstein.
