In connection with Whitney Webb’s upcoming book on the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, One Nation Under Blackmail, Unlimited Hangout filed a Freedom of Information request asking UK law enforcement and the Ministry of Defence the identity of two sitting US senators who were present at Foxcote House in North Warwickshire, UK on September 1, 2002. UH contributor Johnny Vedmore had previously obtained information from eyewitnesses of that meeting that, not only were two US Senators present at that location that day, but that Metropolitan Police officers had supplied security for the meeting. The FOI request was filed to Metropolitan Police, the UK Ministry of Defence and North Warwickshire Police and only a response from the Metropolitan Police was received.

The motive for UH’s FOI request is as follows. It is known that Jeffrey Epstein, as attested to by Epstein’s flight logs, was present in this part of the UK during this same period (from August 31, 2002 to September 2, 2002) and eyewitnesses saw him attend this specific meeting at this location with two attractive and glamorously dressed women on each arm. One of these women was Nicole Junkermann, a former model and apparent intelligence asset as revealed in Vedmore’s previous investigative work. The other woman was described by eyewitnesses as a tall brunette. Per those eyewitness accounts, Epstein personally escorted the two women into the room where the two senators were waiting.

Notably the house where this meeting took place, Foxcote House, has been owned by the family of Leslie Wexner, specifically his wife Abigail Wexner, since 1999. Wexner’s role in financing much of Jeffrey Epstein’s activities, legal and illegal, is a major focus of Webb’s upcoming book and Wexner has encountered considerable difficulty in explaining away his relationship with Epstein, despite the largely servile posture of mainstream media in this regard.

Given the circumstances, it seems highly likely that this meeting was a high-profile instance of Jeffrey Epstein engaging in the sexual blackmail of sitting American politicians. However, due to the well-known scandal around Jeffrey Epstein, his name was not used in our FOI request in order to avoid potentially “spiking” the response.

Despite the omission of Epstein’s name, Metropolitan Police responded to the request stating that they can “neither confirm nor deny whether it holds” the requested information. Their response goes on to state that confirming or denying “whether any United States of America (USA) senators were afforded protection could undermine the safeguarding of national security.” It also notes that it blocked providing the requested information on four other grounds aside from “national security” (five in total), including “international relations”, “law enforcement”, “health and safety”, and “personal information.” It also states that providing the requested information could place “those who are afforded protection, protection officers and members of the public at risk.”

UH has since re-filed a new, related FOI request asking why Metropolitan Police officers were providing protection to a meeting where Jeffrey Epstein was present, since his criminal activities are undeniable.

  5. This is the gold standard of investigative journalism. Really really great work.

    Anyone know anything about what Seymour Hersh is up to? he was going to publish a book on Vice president Cheney but that was too hot to publish so he published his memoirs instead.

    I believe that in 2002 Biden was Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. (Ranking member would have been Jesse Helms, who I cannot imagine would have been involved in any sexual hanky panky.)

    Minor quibbles:

    #1 There is no North Warwickshire Police force. Its just Warwickshire Police.

    #2 Also, looking at a map, the house itself would appear to be located at the southern most end of Warwickshire.

    Take your pick. Being a sexual deviant is one of the top job requirements for being a “public servant” in Washington.

    Well McCuck was indeed muh Israel personified. All and all a pretty disgusting weasel of a man who made a career out being a POW. How many POW had to come home and actually hold down real jobs or ended up homeless or on the street. Nepotism and cuckery at its finest, just say John McCuck.

    Honorable mentions:

    John Kerry. Blumenthal. Quite a few others.

  13. Speaking of Jeffrey Epstein, think there’s any chance he’s related to that other intel operative Ray Epps?

  14. There is no chance that another FOI request will be successful (though this is not a reason not to try).

    When there are five separate grounds for rejection, even if one can be erased, the other four will remain.

    There are probably valid “national security” grounds for withholding the names of the senators, although without knowing much about the meeting, it is hard to guess what they might be.

    Simply because the Met – and it’s Secret Service liaison division, Special Branch – in it’s unbridled arrogance and power-tripping, unilaterally involves itself in anything to do with foreign dignatories, diplomatic visits, “politically-sensitive” operations of all kinds, and anything to do with “VIPs” – especially American political or showbiz VIPs. The Metropolitan Police – who over many decades have transformed themselves without public debate into the sole people-of-colour-serving “Guardians” of the undeclared City-State of Londonistan – believe they are the only ones entitled to “safeguard” these high-profile visitors on British soil – as if the local Police forces are too disorganised, inexperienced or incompetent to do the “big” jobs properly (they often are, but that’s a seperate issue).

    “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

    Well, he didn’t. He had sodomitical relations with her.

    His other true statement was that he didn’t inhale. Of course not. That’s exactly what a manipulative sociopath would do in such a situation– remain clear-headed while his “friends” space out.

    Interesting article, but John Craig himself seems to miss the point of Clinton’s word-smithing. Flowers claimed a 12 year “affair” while Clinton claimed that he only “had sex with her once”. Both statements can be true. During a 12 year “affair” Clinton may have only “had sex” with her once, because all other acts may have been “sodomitical relations” with her. I doubt Ms Flowers would be interested in revealing the ratio of “sodomitical relations” to “sex”.

  20. As I have said from the outset of the entire Epstein drama, there is much more to the story than we will ever be allowed to know. That Epstein was engaged in illegal activities is almost certain. The scope of those activities is unknown. One problem I continue to have with all of the allegations surrounding his alleged trafficking, is that there appears to be no actual proof, beyond allegations of the “victims” that a crime was committed. The linked article regarding Nicole Junkerman is instructive of the thought process used. “The Flight Manifest” is a record of who traveled and when, nothing more. Dershowitz admitted he was on the plane. A number of the “victims” were also on the plane, with “chaperones” according to the pilot testifying at Maxwell’s trial. Yet the article states that was part of Epstein’s “child trafficking molestation machine”, with no evidence. Similarly, the article states

    At that time, Junkermann was 27 years old, so it’s very unlikely that they were dating, as everyone knows Jeffrey Epstein isn’t interested in fully sexually developed adults.

    Apparently Ghislaine Maxwell isn’t/wasn’t a fully sexually developed adult. Statements like the above, and references to “eyewitnesses” who are unknown and no indication of how they were in a position to be “eyewitnesses” damage the credibility of the claims. The articles are loaded with invitations for us to make assumptions.
    While I appreciate Webb’s attempts to uncover the truth, at this time, virtually everything is speculation based on the controlled dribble of information. My speculation is that the real story is much too sinister ever to be disclosed, and that the “child trafficking molestation machine” is a distraction.

    What’s the big mystery? Maxwell is the daughter of a famous Mossad operative. One can infer that, Maxwell and Epstein (plucked from obscurity) were career Mossad agents tasked with creating honey traps/rewards for influential shabbos goys and diaspora Jews.

    The American Jews who claimed to have been invested in Epstein’s ‘hedge’ fund were simply doing their duty to Israel by obscuring the funding of Epstein’s operation. This is an old intelligence trick; e.g. CIA doled out its money through the Ford Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers fund.

  22. eah says:

    Regarding FOI requests generally, if the government or a government agency has something to hide, i.e. the government is not a disinterested or neutral party, the answer to an FOI request is not necessarily going to be truthful or reliable, no matter if ‘national security’ is invoked to justify a non-answer or not, right? — that seems pretty obvious.

    A Senator doubtless has something like an appointment calendar, meaning some way to know where they are and what they are doing — I realize there are ways to maintain some confidentiality about that (‘unannounced visits’ etc), still I have a hard time believing a Senator could take a trip like that and it would not leave a trace — so perhaps the place to look for this information is on the other side of the Atlantic.

    Wasn’t Teddy Kennedy still alive and “serving” in the Senate at that time? He would have been only 70.

  24. A pretty good explanation of Jeffrey Epstein.

  25. One of my top five favorite investigative reporting teams is Whitney Webb’s Unlimited Hangout. The depth of her work is shocking. Anyone watching MSM for unraveling truth can only expect clown show disinformation from the usual cast and crew.

    The photo of Hunter Biden in an open bathrobe with a little 5YO! asian girl in red lingerie.
    From the laptop and presumably the first photo in the sequence. no doubt the others are unpublishable.
    Epstein or Chinese honeypot blackmail.

    Very odd the DoJ showed no interest in Hunter’s apparent child sex tourism.
