New Developments: Epstein Guard to Testify, NYC Art School Returns Donations, CNN Exposes Royal Ties
Multiple breaking developments include Congressional testimony from Epstein's jail guard, New York Academy of Art giving away Epstein donations, and new details on Sarah Ferguson's connections.
Guard Testimony and Congressional Action
A significant development emerged as NewsNation reported that a jail guard from Jeffrey Epstein's final incarceration is set to testify in a House investigation. This marks a potential breakthrough in understanding the circumstances surrounding Epstein's death in federal custody. Separately, WMUR reports that Rep. Ro Khanna is drawing attention in New Hampshire for his ongoing work on releasing additional Epstein files, indicating continued political momentum for transparency.
Institutional Responses and Financial Fallout
The New York Times revealed that the New York Academy of Art has decided to give away money previously donated by Jeffrey Epstein, joining other institutions distancing themselves from tainted funds. Meanwhile, PR Newswire announced a securities fraud class action against Apollo Global Management over their undisclosed relationship with Epstein, which resulted in a 16% stock decline when revealed. The LA City Council has also called for reevaluating Casey Wasserman's leadership role in the 2028 Olympics committee due to his connections revealed in the Epstein files, though Deadline reports that LA28 is ignoring the rebuke.
New Revelations and Document Releases
CNN's investigation has uncovered new details about Sarah Ferguson's association with Jeffrey Epstein, adding another high-profile figure to the growing list of people with documented connections. The BBC referenced what they termed an Epstein files photo "bombshell," though specific details were not provided in their headline coverage. Additionally, EWTN News published an exclusive interview with the rancher whose family originally sold Zorro Ranch to Epstein, potentially offering new insights into how the financier acquired his New Mexico property.
These developments demonstrate continued fallout from the Epstein case across multiple sectors, from government accountability to institutional finance and royal connections. The guard's upcoming testimony could provide crucial new information about the circumstances of Epstein's death in federal custody.
