FBI agents raided Jeffrey Epstein’s Virgin Islands home Monday, two days after the alleged child sex trafficker committed suicide in a Manhattan jail.
Epstein was arrested in July on sex trafficking charges. He was a convicted sex offender in Florida and had previously served time in jail for procuring a minor for prostitution. The multi-millionaire was accused of sexually exploiting girls as young as 14 in his New York City and Florida homes, and died of an apparent suicide Saturday morning.
The private island is called Little St. James, but many have referred to it as “Pedophile Island.” Residents on St. Thomas, another island, were concerned about the suspicion and security at Epstein’s private home, CNBC reported.
Some of the accusers have said that Epstein used the island to have sex with minors, the Washington Examiner reported. Footage by some news outlets showed agents landing on the island, where some got into golf carts and others began to scuba dive in the water.
The search came hours after Attorney General Bill Barr said that he was “appalled” by Epstein’s apparent suicide and told co-conspirators that they “should not rest easy.”
“This sex trafficking case was very important to the Department of Justice and to me personally,” Barr said during a speech Monday in New Orleans. “Let me assure you that this case will continue on against anyone who was complicit with Epstein. Any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”
Epstein’s apparent suicide came just one day after a federal judge in New York unsealed documents from a previous lawsuit against Epstein. The documents implicated multiple high-profile individuals as being involved in an international sex trafficking ring of minors. Former Democratic New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Prince Andrew and former Democratic Sen. George Mitchell are among those implicated in the documents.

The FBI will report soon that they found NOTHING! Surprised? NOT!
We will never know the truth and no one will pay. Business as usual for the what passes now for humans. All involved are nothing more than bottom feeders, and that is a insult to bottom feeders. Not a brave man or woman in the bunch not in any office anywhere, or in the news, back in the good old days the news would hunt this kind of story down now they help hide the truth, and spread lies. Burn in hell all of you. Billy and Killery we all know you are dirty. So That ship has sailed. Don’t try to spin this any other way. Obama you too.
And how much evidence linking some Democrats to his sex island will disappear? Like it did when they raided the Clinton compound! Oh wait they, the Clinton’s were tipped off regarding that raid. And had removed almost everything!
Well the Clinton’s, for sure wanted Epstein dead. So that means the FBI wanted him dead, and for sure no more evidence to be turned up. The day they pried the door open on Epstein’s NY apartment (when ringing the door bell for the butler would have been easier) they needed to be on the island. Just another display of premeditated incompetence.
What a joke! This will be the FBI’s second sweep. The first one was to move anything important to safe keeping and the second was for director Wrays photo opp to show nothing’s there incriminating anyone. What an obvious sham.
They should have been on that island the day he was incarcerated but they took their sweet time isn’t that strange? How long does it take corrupt police, FBI and politicians who don’t want to get caught to clean up. We will never know the truth!
No doubt bubba clinton’s DNA is all over that island.
too late
Who says you can’t commit suicide in less than 30 minutes?
They will all have to face the ultimate judge someday. And he already knows the truth.
Why didn’t they do this to all of his properties simultaneously as Epstein was arrested?
Way worse than evil and both Klintons are complicit. His demise was NOT a suicide!
How do we truly know that it was him that died and not someone else they substituted for him?
Epstein’s hard drive has been wiped with his murder. Whitey
Bulgar’s sentence /death destroyed major evidence.
Are the federal prison systems connected with the Clinton’s
in some way ??? Jus’ askin’………….
Epstein’s “pedophile island” should be full of relics from Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton.
They will not tell what they really found they are going to protect Clinton no matter what and I will give you one guess who had Epstien killed!! CMI = Clinton Murder Inc.
the FIBBERS always make sure they are late to the scene…WRAY is a colossal POS…another bum appointment by POTUS TRUMP…i’d drain that damn swamp if he’d let me….allanallen
Not to worry, the investigators already have the goods they need. The perps will get their punishment. The crimes are too horrific and many. All will come out.
hang em high………
There is no place in this world for this sin-soaked soul…!!
I agree – this place should have been cracked open as soon as he was arrested – all I can say follow the wiring from cameras to origination – find the recordings and check for transmission capabilities to backup location(s). Come in GET IN IT – anyone that has been involved must be brought to justice – GET IN IT NOW!!!!
Akancite and not sure if anyone is gonna go to jail
I STILL think that the investigation will turn up plenty of information, ESPECIALLY about Bill
Clinton !
This shows the incompetents of law enforcement. The day they raided the Park Avenue place this should have been done as well. The lawyers for Epstein have already cleaned this place out. My guess law enforcement is also implicated in this so they don’t want to do the job right. One report has place Director Wray on the Lolita Express. That’s a good excuse not to search
Got there just in time to find no evidence that can be used to prosecute anyone.
Wouldn’t it be nice of AG Barr were as energized to pursue the OBVIOIUS CORRUPTION at the FBI and DOJ!
You think the scuba divers are looking for evidence of foul play? maybe even bodies of young females that they were worried wouldn’t keep quiet? I wouldn’t just look in the immediate area around the island but maybe a mile or so out from it.
THERE WAS AN ARKANSAS SWEEPER TRUCK DRIVEN BY BILL BOY CLINTON!! IT SWEEP THE ENTIRE ISLAND BEFORE ANY OF THE ROOKIES GOT THERE TO SEARCH IT!!
So what did they find on the island?
A raid happens with no warning. Pedo island just sat there for months. Plenty of time to clean up with Clorox and an incinerator.
so what did they find?
Hillary had plenty of time to set up this, as always the Deep State is protecting them, and Hillary is the expert at destroying evidence!
Full investigation is in proper order.When it comes to children in trouble no holds barred.Full and fast.
“What they find is chilling” Where in this article does it say what they found?
What have they found? Every story is the same, nothing new! This case can’t be secluded as too much has already been put out to the public. Please stop with stories until something concrete has been uncovered! We facts!
After reading all the comments I find that i am not alone in being angry at the misleading headlines etc.
Ok, this article is no better than the liberal media BS. Please, get it together!
“WHAT THEY FIND IS CHILLING” your come-on heading states.
Then you mention NOTHING THAT WAS FOUND —–??????
Y’all suck is what is chilling, Political Insider.
CHILLING, as in cold or cold case. It’s cold now; they waited too long. The last step in the cover-up was eliminating the main evidence.
So I read this article expecting to see “What They Find Is CHILLING” only to find they didn’t find s**t. Fake news is so commonplace now (maybe it has always been), it’s hardly worth reading.
I think they stumbled across a refrigator
What they found was CHILLING?!!! For crap’s sake… wasting my time.
Wonder why Wray has not been relieved of his duties? Has anyone seen Why Barr has not fired Wray? I may have missed it!
Trump needs to find another “William Barr” to replace Wray as FBI Director. Myself, and many others will not be convinced that the corruption has been removed until we see some indictments and some people getting jail time. The only things you can believe is what you see AG Barr say personally.
Slimeball Wray is involved in Epstein’s Phedophile Island Name in Pilots Log Book
Manny Hi Prof, Dems on the List
The truth will NEVER come out with Chris Wray leading the investigation . Wray adamantly refuses to cooperate with Barr’s investigation into FBI corruption.
it is to get you to look at the ads, follow the money
Yes. I don’t like that either. It undermines their credibility and wastes my time.
The “shocking” part would have been if there was actually anything “shocking” in the article! They keep changing the headlines on these Epstein stories to make it look like something new, but they are RERUNNING the SAME two or three stories over and over!
ha ha…that’s the “shocking” part
Chilling? Not anything that was mentioned in this article. I do not like these false headlines leading to nothing. Just to get people to read and ends up as a “nothing burger”…
