New Lawsuit Against the FBI Alleges They Deliberately Sabotaged the Jeffrey Epstein Investigation

Nearly two years after the conviction of Ghislaine Maxwell for partnering with accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, a client list still has not been revealed and no other parties have been brought up on charges. Along with Epstein's brother presenting new evidence of a cover-up surrounding Epstein's death, the Epstein accusers refuse to go down quietly either and are mounting a case against the U.S. government and the FBI for their failure to pursue the investigation into Epstein to its fullest extent.

A dozen of Jeffrey Epstein's accusers have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government alleging that the FBI failed to properly investigate the financier's sex-trafficking crimes as far back as the 1990s.

"Jeffrey Epstein’s penchant for teenage girls was an open secret in the high society of Palm Beach, Florida and the Upper East Side of Manhattan which was disregarded by the FBI," reads the lawsuit on behalf of 12 Jane Does. "Epstein orchestrated an illegal sex trafficking ring for the elite and the FBI failed to adequately investigate the abuse, failed to interview the victims, failed to investigate the crimes and did not follow routine procedure or offer victim assistance notwithstanding credible reports and tips."

The lawsuit, filed Wednesday, alleges that all 12 women were victimized by Epstein and "co-conspirators" because of the FBI's alleged past failures and that current FBI Director Christopher Wray has done nothing to "right that wrong," as Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn requested he do in a December 2023 hearing.

They have legitimate receipts. Former President Bill Clinton, Epstein's major frequent flyer on his "Lolita Express," allegedly threatened Vanity Fair to bury the information it had on Epstein. Accuser Virginia Giuffre's January documents release from her lawsuit against Ghislaine Maxwell also revealed the name of billionaire Thomas Pritzker (and cousin of Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker) as a procurer of Epstein's sex services. A release of the Epstein client list would probably reveal many high-profile names in government and industry, which is probably why we may never see it.

These individuals do not want to be exposed in any way, so the lightweight efforts and incomplete investigations done by the FBI are probably part of that agenda.

Allegations of child sex trafficking emerged as early as 1996, according to the lawsuit, when Epstein accuser Maria Farmer told police in New York City and the FBI that she and her sister had been victims of Epstein and his accomplice and former lover, Ghislaine Maxwell.

But the FBI allegedly "'hung up' on her and did nothing to investigate the report," according to the lawsuit.

Allegations continued to crop up until Epstein was arrested for having sex with a child prostitute in 2005. Even his bank, JP Morgan Chase, alerted the government of "suspicious transactions" around this time – however, that information remained secret for almost 20 years, according to the lawsuit. 

The victims' lawyers also took aim at the long delay before his prosecution and the lenient plea deal he reached with the Justice Department in 2008.

"Epstein served 13 months in jail, during which time he was allowed to leave for work release during the day," the lawsuit reads. "He continued to sexually abuse victims during his work release in close proximity to those who were supposed to be monitoring him."

With the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny and this new lawsuit, the allegations against Epstein, the conviction of Maxwell, and the possible people on his client list along with those conspiracy theories surrounding it have gained fresh life. This is exactly the opposite of what the members of the Epstein client list want, but what the Epstein victims and the public need.
