After analyzing the Justice Department's files, veteran journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodríguez concluded Jeffrey Epstein's advanced communications infrastructure is tied to U.S. intelligence.
Valdes-Rodríguez identified military-grade technology at Epstein's Zorro Ranch compound in New Mexico, including a "private microwave communications link" still maintained by current owner Don Huffines, an ally of President Donald Trump, according to her Substack.
She found the compound was likely built by Bradbury Stamm, a government-linked contractor that "does not build individual homes." A 2016 email exchange showed Epstein choosing the most expensive communications option requiring "industrial/military grade equipment" specifically to make message interception "effectively impossible."
Valdes-Rodríguez connected these findings to reporting by journalist Kait Justice, suggesting Epstein may have been recruited as a CIA asset as a teenager, potentially with help from Donald Barr, father of Trump's former attorney general William Barr.
No official confirmation exists from the CIA or the Justice Department.
