Jeffrey Epstein was the subject of a previously undisclosed U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency investigation a five-year-plus probe targeting him and 14 other individuals for suspicious money transfers possibly linked to illegal narcotics, a newly uncovered document in the Department of Justice's Epstein files reveals.
"DEA reporting indicates the above individuals are involved in illegitimate wire transfers which are tied to illicit drug and/or prostitution activities occurring in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New York City," the 2015 document says.
The 69-page memo is marked "law enforcement sensitive" and remains heavily redacted, concealing the names of the 14 other targets and much of the substantive detail surrounding the investigation.

I forgot to mention the FOX News cult, by my assessment, a for profit propaganda and misinformation enterprise.

In 2016 we already knew about a golden showers pee tape. How quaint. And we knew Putin had interfered in our election.

I believe murder was also involved. Epstein purchased 220 gallons of sulphuric acid, possibly to dispose of bodies.
