The latest Epstein file dump—millions of unredacted DOJ documents released in early February 2026—lays bare not just one predator’s web but the historic privilege of America’s white billionaire class. * The often-overlooked fact is that Jeffrey Epstein didn’t operate in a vacuum. * He was not a lone perpetrator. * His trafficking ring, implicating presidents, princes, and power brokers, thrived because the ultra-wealthy live by rules that crush everyone else. Ghislaine Maxwell’s deposition dodge (Fifth Amendment on all substantive questions) and her lawyer’s tease—“Both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent”—only sharpen the indictment: deviance among the elite is not punished; it’s protected.
