Late financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reportedly had six secret lockers that have never been searched, according to reports Monday.

A report from The Telegraph found that Epstein apparently paid private investigators to remove computers and photographs from his Florida home, including computers from his private island in the Caribbean, and hide the items in an attempt to obstruct investigators. Credit card payments for the storage units continued through 2019, the year he died while awaiting trial on federal charges related to his exploitation of underage girls.

"Search warrants reviewed by The Telegraph suggest US authorities never raided the lockers, raising the possibility that they may contain unseen evidence relating to Epstein and his associates, including Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord [Peter] Mandelson," the outlet explained. ...

The arrest of ex-Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has highlighted a core issue the Department of Justice has yet to clarify regarding Jeffrey Epstein's files.

While all files, including email correspondence and logs, were ordered for release by the end of 2025, it is believed that millions of files are yet to be shared by the DoJ. CNN analyst Stephen Collinson believes the recent arrest of a Royal Family member will bring into question the DoJ's handling of the Epstein files.

The arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor could affect the United States, according to a political commentator who believes a precedent has been set.

The ex-Prince was arrested earlier today (February 19) on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The Mirror columnist Christopher Bucktin described the arrest as an "almost surreal" moment that would have longer-term consequences for those in the US.

WASHINGTON — Donald Trump’s connections with the former Prince Andrew are “very close,” a biographer of the disgraced British royal said, rejecting Trump’s denials and saying evidence of the relationship had been taken out of files relating to investigations of Jeffrey Epstein released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

“The connections with Trump are very close,” Andrew Lownie said. “I mean, clearly this stuff's been taken out of the released papers, but Andrew and Trump had a very close relationship.

“Same interest in golf, making money, in women, there are lots of crossovers between them and lots of ‘locker room discussions’ going on. I mean, when Trump says he doesn't know who Andrew is, there are plenty of pictures of the two of them together. That kind of says everything.”...

WASHINGTON – In a posthumously published memoir, the Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre makes an impassioned plea for the release of all files and records related to the late financier and sex offender who abused young girls and facilitated abuse by powerful men.

“I hope for a world in which predators are punished, not protected; victims are treated with compassion, not shamed; and powerful people face the same consequences as anyone else,” Roberts Giuffre writes.

Prince Andrew's ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was fired Monday from her role with a children's hospice over emails revealing she called the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein her “supreme friend," according to reports.
