    Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein's high profile associates are in for a New
    Year's surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be
    released in the first days of 2024.

    The pedophile's powerful friends are set to be exposed as part of a vast unsealing that a judge ordered on Monday will take place in 14 days.

    That will take the release day to January 1 – but as that is a holiday it
    is likely the files will be made public the following day.

    Some 177 people will be identified across hundreds of files which will
    shed new light on the late financier's sex trafficking operation and his network of influence.

    A judge has ruled to unseal documents that would name 177 Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters and victims within the coming weeks

    Victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrive to court

    Judge Loretta Preska wrote 'unsealed in full' next to the names of 177
    Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters, victims and others whose names
    will be revealed when the material is released within the coming weeks.

    The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew's
    accuser Virginia Roberts in New York against Epstein's madam Ghislaine
    Maxwell.

    The hundreds of files will shed new light on the late financier's sex trafficking operation and his network of influence

    Roberts sued Maxwell for defamation in 2016 and while the case was
    settled, The Miami Herald – which published a bombshell expose of Epstein
    that led to his arrest in 2019 – sued to get the documents made public.

    Some of the Does are identified in the ruling through links to interviews
    they have given to the media, which the judge cited as a reason why they
    should not stay private.

    They include the housekeepers on Epstein's private island in the Caribbean where some of the worst abuse that he perpetrated was carried out.

    In her ruling Judge Preska gave 14 days for any Does who objected to their documents being made public to object, after which they would be unsealed.

    There will be documents about one of Prince Andrew's accusers, who claims
    he fondled her breasts at Epstein's New York mansion.

    There will also be material about Haley Robson, who was named as a
    recruiter in police files of Epstein's original investigation in 2006 in
    Palm Beach – though she has more recently claimed she was a victim too.

    The filing suggests some documents will relate to Jean-Luc Brunel, a
    French model scout who was close to Epstein and allegedly abused many
    young women. Brunel hanged himself in a Paris prison cell in 2022 while awaiting trial on a slew of sex charges.

    The documents in the case have been released on a rolling basis since 2019
    when the first batch were made public days before Epstein also hanged
    himself in prison while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

    Among the revelations in previous batches of documents were emails between Andrew and Epstein in 2015 when Roberts made allegations about him.

    The batch of 177 Does is the final group and includes many who were
    notified by the court but did not object to documents with their name on
    them being made public.

    The material is likely to include depositions, emails, legal documents and other material not previously made public.

    Does three and four appear to be Miles and Cathy Alexander, a South
    African couple who managed Little St James, Epstein's private island in
    the Caribbean, for years.

    Judge Preska cited a 2011 interview the couple gave to the Daily Mail as
    one of the reasons why their names should be made public

    In the interview the couple claimed that it was not their place to 'judge' other people, even though they suspected some of the girls on the island
    were young.

    The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince Andrew's
    accuser Virginia Roberts in New York against Epstein's madam Ghislaine
    Maxwell

    Maxwell, 61, is serving 20 years after being found guilty of sex
    trafficking and procuring underage girls for late pedophile Jeffrey
    Epstein

    Ghislaine Maxwell wishes she had 'never met' Jeffrey Epstein

    Cathy described how the Duke of York arrived with a blonde brain surgeon
    in her 30s and that he urinated on her foot when she trod on a sea urchin.

    The tranche of documents will also include those referring to Annie
    Farmer, one of the women who gave evidence at Maxwell's trial – she is identified as Doe 63 as Judge Preska cites an interview she gave and notes
    she testified under her own name.

    Judge Loretta Preska wrote 'unsealed in full' next to the names of 177
    Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters, victims and others whose names
    will be revealed when the material is released within the coming weeks

    Doe 64 appears to refer to Farmer's sister Maria as it cites the same
    interview as her sister, in which both of them spoke.

    Doe 67 is one of the recruiters who was named during Maxwell's trial for
    luring a 14-year-old girl into Epstein's web.

    Carolyn Adriano, who testified at Maxwell's trial that she was recruited
    at age 14 and repeatedly raped by Epstein, is identified as Doe 5 due to
    an interview which the ruling cited

    Tragically she died earlier this year from an overdose in a hotel room in Florida.

    Doe 23 appears to be Brunel as it refers to a person who was 'subject to a widely publicized criminal prosecution abroad for sex trafficking'.

    Brunel was arrested for the crime in France but committed suicide before
    he could go to trial.

    Doe 24 is the only one who is identified by name, Harvard law professor
    Alan Dershowitz, who has publicly called for all material related to him
    to be made public.

    Judge Preska cited an NBC News interview she gave as the reason for
    unsealing material related to Doe 44.

    Among those who spoke out in that interview were Roberts and Epstein
    victim Anouska De Georgiou, who testified against Maxwell at her trial,
    along with Chauntae Davies, another woman who says she was repeatedly
    raped by the pedophile.

    Also featured in the interview are Epstein victims Jennifer Aroaz and
    Rachel Benavidez – it is unclear which person the ruling refers to.

    Doe 154 is Haley Robson, who spoke out in the Netflix series Filthy Rich
    about Epstein's crimes and described how she was already a rape victim by
    the age of 16 when she got caught in his web.

    In the interview cited by Judge Preska, Robson says that her image as
    portrayed in police reports – she bragged that she was like Heidi Fleiss,
    the infamous Hollywood Madam – she was not mature enough to understand
    what was happening to her at the time.

    Perhaps most alarming for Prince Andrew is the inclusion of Johanna
    Sjoberg, one of Epstein's underage girls, in the list of Does.

    Judge Preska effectively names Sjoberg as Jane Doe 162, by citing a Daily
    Mail article about her from 2021.

    So far only small excerpts of her depositions have been made public, and
    those have been damning for the Duke.

    Doe 24 is the only one who is identified by name, Harvard law professor
    Alan Dershowitz, who has publicly called for all material related to him
    to be made public

    It was in 2007 that she first told of the alleged encounter with Andrew at Esptein's East 71st Street mansion in New York.

    In depositions she recalled that she returned to the grand home after some 'sightseeing' and 'Prince Andrew was there and a couple of other girls my
    age'.

    Andrew was very charming,' she said. 'She (Maxwell) came down with a
    present for him – a latex puppet of him from Spitting Image,' a satirical British TV show.

    Sjoberg added that Andrew had thought the puppet 'funny because it was
    him'

    She said in a deposition: 'I just remember someone suggesting a photo and
    they told us to get on the couch. And so Virginia (Roberts) and Andrew sat
    on the couch and they put the puppet on her lap.

    'And so I sat on Andrew's lap, I believe of my own volition, and they took
    the puppet's hands and put it on Virginia's breast and so Andrew put his
    on mine.'

    It was all done in 'a joking manner' and 'everybody laughed,' Sjoberg
    said. 'Ghislaine... had a very dirty sense of humor.'

    There are 10 Does whose names will not be made public, Judge Preska ruled, because they are minor victims whose names have not been publicly revealed before.

    In those cases, their privacy outweighs the public's right to know, the
    ruling stated.

    In previously released documents in the case Roberts named for the first
    time other powerful men she alleges that she had sex with including former
    New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who died in September.

    Other names include wealthy financier Glenn Dubin and now-deceased MIT scientist Marvin Minsky along with 'another prince' a 'foreign president',
    a 'well-known prime minister' and the owner of a 'large hotel chain' in
    France.

    Emails sent by Andrew to Maxwell showed the panic that gripped him in
    early 2015 when Roberts made her allegations against him.

    In an email to Maxwell at 5.50am on January 3, 2015 the duke wrote: 'Let
    me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you about
    Virginia Roberts.'

    Maxwell replied: 'Have some info. Call me when you have a moment'.

    Roberts sued Andrew in 2021 at a court in New York for battery and
    infliction of emotional distress.

    They settled the case in February 2022 for a reported $12m.

    Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in an interview
    that he never remembered meeting Roberts, who now lives in Australia and
    goes by her married name Giuffre.

    Dozens of Jeffrey Epstein's high profile associates are in for a New
    Year's surprise as they will be named in court documents set to be
    released in the first days of 2024.

    The pedophile's powerful friends are set to be exposed as part of a
    vast unsealing that a judge ordered on Monday will take place in 14
    days.

    That will take the release day to January 1 – but as that is a
    holiday it is likely the files will be made public the following day.

    Some 177 people will be identified across hundreds of files which
    will shed new light on the late financier's sex trafficking operation
    and his network of influence.

    A judge has ruled to unseal documents that would name 177 Does who
    are Epstein's friends, recruiters and victims within the coming weeks

    Victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrive to court

    Judge Loretta Preska wrote 'unsealed in full' next to the names of
    177 Does who are Epstein's friends, recruiters, victims and others
    whose names will be revealed when the material is released within the
    coming weeks.

    The material is related to a defamation case brought by Prince
    Andrew's accuser Virginia Roberts in New York against Epstein's madam

    They include the housekeepers on Epstein's private island in the
    Caribbean where some of the worst abuse that he perpetrated was
    carried out.

    In her ruling Judge Preska gave 14 days for any Does who objected to
    their documents being made public to object, after which they would
    be unsealed.

    There will be documents about one of Prince Andrew's accusers, who
    claims he fondled her breasts at Epstein's New York mansion.

    recruiter in police files of Epstein's original investigation in 2006

    Does three and four appear to be Miles and Cathy Alexander, a South
    African couple who managed Little St James, Epstein's private island

    Tragically she died earlier this year from an overdose in a hotel
    room in Florida.

    Doe 23 appears to be Brunel as it refers to a person who was 'subject
    to a widely publicized criminal prosecution abroad for sex
    trafficking'.

    Brunel was arrested for the crime in France but committed suicide
    before he could go to trial.

    Doe 24 is the only one who is identified by name, Harvard law
    professor Alan Dershowitz, who has publicly called for all material
    related to him to be made public.

    Judge Preska cited an NBC News interview she gave as the reason for
    unsealing material related to Doe 44.

    Among those who spoke out in that interview were Roberts and Epstein
    victim Anouska De Georgiou, who testified against Maxwell at her
    trial, along with Chauntae Davies, another woman who says she was
    repeatedly raped by the pedophile.

    Also featured in the interview are Epstein victims Jennifer Aroaz and
    Rachel Benavidez – it is unclear which person the ruling refers to.

    Doe 154 is Haley Robson, who spoke out in the Netflix series Filthy
    Rich about Epstein's crimes and described how she was already a rape
    victim by the age of 16 when she got caught in his web.

    In the interview cited by Judge Preska, Robson says that her image as
    portrayed in police reports – she bragged that she was like Heidi
    Fleiss, the infamous Hollywood Madam – she was not mature enough to
    understand what was happening to her at the time.

    Perhaps most alarming for Prince Andrew is the inclusion of Johanna
    Sjoberg, one of Epstein's underage girls, in the list of Does.

    Judge Preska effectively names Sjoberg as Jane Doe 162, by citing a
    Daily Mail article about her from 2021.

    So far only small excerpts of her depositions have been made public,
    and those have been damning for the Duke.

    Doe 24 is the only one who is identified by name, Harvard law
    professor Alan Dershowitz, who has publicly called for all material
    related to him to be made public

    It was in 2007 that she first told of the alleged encounter with
    Andrew at Esptein's East 71st Street mansion in New York.

    In depositions she recalled that she returned to the grand home after
    some 'sightseeing' and 'Prince Andrew was there and a couple of other
    girls my age'.

    Andrew was very charming,' she said. 'She (Maxwell) came down with a
    present for him – a latex puppet of him from Spitting Image,' a
    satirical British TV show.

    Sjoberg added that Andrew had thought the puppet 'funny because it
    was him'

    She said in a deposition: 'I just remember someone suggesting a photo
    and they told us to get on the couch. And so Virginia (Roberts) and
    Andrew sat on the couch and they put the puppet on her lap.

    'And so I sat on Andrew's lap, I believe of my own volition, and they
    took the puppet's hands and put it on Virginia's breast and so Andrew
    put his on mine.'

    It was all done in 'a joking manner' and 'everybody laughed,' Sjoberg
    said. 'Ghislaine... had a very dirty sense of humor.'

    There are 10 Does whose names will not be made public, Judge Preska
    ruled, because they are minor victims whose names have not been
    publicly revealed before.

    In those cases, their privacy outweighs the public's right to know,
    the ruling stated.

    In previously released documents in the case Roberts named for the
    first time other powerful men she alleges that she had sex with
    including former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who died in
    September.

    Other names include wealthy financier Glenn Dubin and now-deceased
    MIT scientist Marvin Minsky along with 'another prince' a 'foreign
    president', a 'well-known prime minister' and the owner of a 'large
    hotel chain' in France.

    Emails sent by Andrew to Maxwell showed the panic that gripped him in
    early 2015 when Roberts made her allegations against him.

    In an email to Maxwell at 5.50am on January 3, 2015 the duke wrote:
    'Let me know when we can talk. Got some specific questions to ask you
    about Virginia Roberts.'

    Maxwell replied: 'Have some info. Call me when you have a moment'.

    Roberts sued Andrew in 2021 at a court in New York for battery and
    infliction of emotional distress.

    They settled the case in February 2022 for a reported $12m.

    Andrew has always denied any wrongdoing and told the BBC in an
    interview that he never remembered meeting Roberts, who now lives in
    Australia and goes by her married name Giuffre.

    We are about to find out why Dick Durbin blocked a subpoena to release
    the list. I would love to be a fly on the wall in his office when that happens.

    Canada would love to get rid of a doe named "Trudeau".

    How many of those on the list will not make it to the unveiling?

    HAHAHAHA! Fuck you Joe Biden.

    WASHINGTON – An appeals court ordered the Border Patrol on Tuesday to stop cutting razor wire installed by Texas, handing a win to state officials as
    the surge of migrants hits unprecedented levels.

    The ruling reverses a lower court order allowing federal authorities to
    remove the sharp fencing at will, infuriating Gov. Greg Abbott, who has deployed massive resources to tighten security along the Rio Grande.

    State Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Department of Homeland Security
    and accused its agents of illegally destroying state property.

    The ruling applies to 29 miles of wire installed in Maverick County, which includes Eagle Pass, where tens of thousands of migrants have arrived this
    week – an overwhelming surge that prompted federal authorities to shut
    down an international rail crossing to free up personnel.

    The 19-page ruling focused mostly on whether the state has the right to
    sue the federal government in this case. It does, the judges said.

    The ruling also suggested that, rather than impeding federal law
    enforcement, Texas’ actions supplement it. There is “substantial public interest in having governmental agencies abide by the federal laws that
    govern their existence and operations,” the court wrote, citing an earlier case.

    Razor wire is one of many tools Abbott has used as part of his $10 billion Operation Lone Star, the state’s effort to address a border crisis that Republicans blame on lax enforcement by the Biden administration.

    On Dec. 1, a different three-judge panel of the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed a major defeat to Abbott, ordering removal
    of a 1,000-foot buoy barrier the state installed in the river to deter migrants.

    placed at the border
    Texas and federal authorities agree that the concertina wire must be cut
    in case of emergency – to save a migrant from drowning, for instance, or
    when officers witness an assault on the far side.

    “We’re doing it to go rescue somebody,” Texas Department of Public Safety Director Col. Steve McCraw recently told The Dallas Morning News. “We’re
    not doing it to allow a large number of migrants to enter between the
    ports of entry. We want them to go to the ports of entry.”

    He and other state officials say federal agents have removed concertina
    wire simply to let migrants enter the United States, and sometimes without notification.

    On Oct. 30, federal Judge Alia Moses of the Western District of Texas
    issued a temporary order barring Border Patrol agents from destroying,
    damaging or removing the razor wire that Texas has installed along the
    border, except in an emergency.

    She found that, as Texas asserted, Border Patrol sometimes cuts the
    concertina wire “for no apparent purpose other than to allow migrants
    easier entrance further inland.”

    That was a temporary win for Texas. But a month later, the judge issued a
    new order – this time siding with the Biden administration, agreeing
    federal authority preempts state authority at the border.

    Tuesday’s ruling came from a panel of three judges, all named to the bench
    by Republicans: Catharina Haynes, appointed by George W. Bush, and Don
    Willett and Kyle Duncan, both appointed by Donald Trump.

    Judge Moses is also a Bush appointee.

    The 5th Circuit is among the most conservative federal appeals courts. The panel on the buoys case included two judges named by Democratic
    presidents, both of whom sided against Texas.

    Texas is appealing that ruling.
