U.S. politicians on video with underage sex slaves? Accuser of blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein cited prominent Americans One largely unasked question surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein affair is whether any current or former U.S. political figures were videoed frolicking with the financier’s alleged ring of underage “sex slaves.” There is evidence Epstein kept cameras hidden in the bedrooms of his various homes.

In Police Rift, Mayor de Blasio’s Missteps Included Thinking It Would Pass Not long after Mayor Bill de Blasio sat beside the Rev.
