There's a powerful man whose relationship with Jeffrey Epstein has shockingly escaped scrutiny.
And that's the man in his picture with Epstein's housekeepers. John Kerry, a former senator, a presidential nominee, a secretary of state, a climate envoy, and a member of Biden's National Security Council. He has held these titles at the highest levels of U.S. government and intelligence apparatuses for the past three decades.
And yet, here's Kerry.
“In a Facebook picture, posted by Epstein's housekeeper,”
John Loom, Fontania, in Epstein's home. So why is it important? Well, what drew me to Kerry was my initial shock when I learned from Virginia Jufrae, but she encountered him during the height of Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Virginia Jews, governor Bill Richardson, former Prince Andrew,
Maine Senator George Mitchell, and the former Prime Minister of Israel, at Hood Baroque, a sexual abuse. She met Kerry just years before he ran for president in 2004. Virginia and I became close when I traveled around the country with her, finding witnesses who could speak to the abuse that she and so many others suffered
under Epstein and his rich and powerful friends who had faced no accountability for their crimes.
Everybody who went into Jeffrey's house knew what was going on. You couldn't be a pizza delivery boy and walk in Epstein's houses and not know what's going on. You walk into the houses, naked pictures everywhere, young girls everywhere, old dude, not married, like it's not hard to just put two and two together really. She told me about Kerry and three others. So I dove into the files. It took me 10 months.
I looked through thousands of documents and what I found was a paper trail. The painted an intricate web between Epstein and Kerry. One in which John Kerry was not only present at his home and on his plane, according to Sworn testimony, but where Epstein was offering to introduce a number of room characters, like Trump's adviser Steve Bannon, a disgrace to Norwegian diplomat Terjay Rod Larson,
who's being investigated by Norway's economic crimes unit, and a Tard Emeroddy shipping tycoon who wrote an email to Epstein about how much he loved the torture video. It's a long and complicated trail that I plan to lay out for you in this episode. Although you can look through all the documents yourself if you go to terapomary.com. By becoming a paid subscriber, you can support this kind of relentless, exclusive,
investigative journalism. This has never been reported before by mainstream media,
because they've missed the crux of the Epstein story, and it's one that the survivors have held the keys to for so long. I keep saying it, listen to the women. They know what happened. Because of my investigation, Democratic Congressman Rokana said he'll call John Kerry to testify before the House Oversight Committee about his relationship with Epstein. So far, Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton have been called, along with Trump's
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik, and his former attorney general, Bill Barr, among many others. I want to start by saying that back in 2019, when Epstein was arrested for the second time, John Kerry spokesperson maintained that the former Secretary of State did not know him personally, but now we have a much more clear picture thanks to the release of the Epstein files,
“well, at least some of them. Remember, at least 2.5 million, we haven't seen”
for national security reasons, and this story may explain why. This investigation is not only based on the files and Virginia's words to me, but also the sworn testimony of Epstein's former chef, David Richard Mullin, when he spoke to the FBI in 2006, he said that he recalled seeing Kerry on Epstein's plane. And of course, Kerry was an Epstein's little black book, but there's more. Epstein seemed to have put a bet on Kerry a long time ago that his political star would be
lasting. He donated $2,000 to his Senate campaigns in 1991, and then again, to his presidential campaign in 2002, something which Kerry spokesperson, who didn't want to be named, by the way, called a negligible amount, compared to the $28 million Kerry has raised over his political career. There are emails in which Epstein is straight up fantasizing about Kerry reemerging
Into national politics as late as 2016.
about a scenario in which Hillary Clinton gets indicted and Kerry jumps into the race at the last
“minute, because he has the money to do it, and he won more states than Biden. He then fantasized”
about this scheme with others, like Obama's former deputy council, Kathy Romler. But here's the thing it goes even further back to when Kerry was secretary of stay at the height of his power. Epstein was acting as an unofficial broker to him. He tried to connect him with a disgrace more region diplomat, Terry Rod Larson, who helped Epstein get visas for victims, borrowed money from
him, and Epstein planned to give his two children $10 million in his will.
Sadly, Terry Hayes son, 25 year old son, died last month by suicide, as both of his parents are being investigated for their tie to Epstein. This was all happening as Kerry was negotiating the Iran nuclear deal, and Rod Larson had a lot of interest in it, and how it turned out. In fact, he was tracking it every day in emails with Jeffrey Epstein. They were sending emails daily, almost, about John Kerry and what he was doing. Notably, Rod Larson was the main architect
of the Oslo Accords, the first agreement between Israel and Palestine in 1991, which many of seen as favoring Israel. Israel was paying very close attention to the Iran deal, and as we know, Epstein was very close to Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and donated to a number of pro-segment foundations. "You're not going to be a dictator, are you?"
“"I said, "No, no, no other than day one." How did Donald Trump turn the presidency into a king?”
Well, it didn't start with him. It was the goal of a decade's long master plan. "When the president does it, it is not illegal." "I'm the Decider, and I decide what is best." "Where they won't act, I will." I'm David Sarota from the Lever. On our new season of the award-winning

And then there's just a controversy that's been hanging over the Oslo Accords and the missing files. They're still missing to this day. And now we know that the person who was at the center of it all, Rod Larson and his wife, he had poor judgment. He was willing to accept money from Jeffrey Epstein from shady people like him, which if he was doing that back in 1991, could have left him vulnerable to outside influence. And then there's the Emirati shipping executive assault
in Ahmed Bin Solomon, who asked Epstein to connect him to carry when carry was visiting the United
“Arab Emirates as Secretary of State. You'll remember him. He was the one who loved the torture video”
and at first that email was redacted. His name was redacted by the Department of Justice until US law makers called it out and said, "Why is this man's name redacted? That is not for national security reasons." It wasn't just carry. Epstein appeared to be working carry's deputy secretary of state, too. William Burns, who went on to serve as CIA director under Biden.
So Epstein wasn't just grooming his victims, but the powerful men who he tried to move around
like chess pieces by offering proximity to power, jobs, money, and influence. Burns met with Epstein twice while he was deputy secretary of state. Once in Washington, and then again, it's home in New York. Both times after Epstein was a sex offender. By the way, if you know anything about the state department, it's deeply tied to the CIA. diplomats often run assets for the CIA from their official postings abroad. Now, Burns spokesperson said he discussed potential business
opportunities with Epstein as he was getting ready to leave for the private sector. But there a relationship appeared to be even closer than that. Epstein invited him and his wife to his island where so much of the depravity happened. Burns turned him down because he had to go on another assignment abroad as deputy secretary of state. Burns's spokesperson said they had no relationship outside of the two meetings, but admitted that Epstein may have connected Burns to tech billionaire
Peter Thiel over email. Epstein also tried to connect him with LinkedIn founder, Breed Hoffman. In one email, Epstein claimed that he's planning to have Peter Thiel, Bill Burns, and the former Prime Minister of Israel echoed Brock at his home in New York. Burns spokesperson said he didn't
Attend that meeting.
advisor, Epstein was offering to introduce him to John Kerry in Washington. He sent a text message
to Bannon saying Kerry was coming in and if he wanted to meet him, he then learned Kerry was no longer visiting DC and offered Burns instead. I tried to reach Kerry personally to talk about this. He didn't pick up. His housekeeper did, though. Can I leave a message for him? This is Tara
“Paul Mary. I'm writing a piece about him. Do you want to call him like probably in two hours?”
Okay, I can't thank you. Okay, I'll try him back in two hours. Thank you. Since then, I have not heard back from Kerry spokesperson as to whether Kerry would willingly testify before the house oversight and government reforms committee. Now that Rokana says that he is going to call for it. But I can tell you this. His spokesperson refused to give me his name on the record. And when I read you, his statement to me, you will see
that it is entirely toned up. This is a man who represents the former Secretary of State. And this is his statement to me. Quote, we've needed an Ouija board to guess why Epstein suggested Steve Bannon meet Kerry in Washington, D.C. in 2018. Secretary Kerry went home to Boston after
the Obama administration ended. He wasn't in Washington, D.C. was never scheduled to be in Washington.
And did not have a meeting or meeting request from that cast of characters period, which isn't surprising since he didn't have a relationship with Bannon or Epstein and wasn't in contact with either of them. John Kerry wasn't in Washington ever in 2018. It's a pretty definitive statement. When I asked Kerry spokesperson what they received from Epstein in the Fed Act, said he said to Kerry, days after he launched a super PAC when his campaign for presidency failed and he needed a vehicle
for relevance, they were even more uptos. Fed Act, no clue what it was. In the year following
his presidential election, both his PAC office and his Senate office were bombarded with people
“mailing unsolicited books, articles, memos, letters, all kinds of materials. I remember how vividly”
our Senate mail room was with people mailing him stuff from all over the world. Well, this wasn't the Senate mail room. It was his PAC, by the way. And just days after he launched it. So he must have gotten the inside scoop on that one. After all, what would Epstein be sending Kerry after his campaign fell apart? Unless he saw Kerry as someone who's going to have outsized influence for the next two decades, which he did. And Epstein in turn, petled access to that influence. And that access
is currency in Washington. And everywhere, really. Thank you for listening to this. If you support this kind of cleared eye accountability reporting on Washington, relentless tracking down the stories, that the mainstream media misses please go to terapolpmerry.com. That's TARAPL
