Journalist on maternity hiatus. Priors: @thedailybeast @nypost @brooklynpaper.
Joined February 2009
After 9 great years, my run with The Daily Beast is over. I’ve decided to stay on maternity hiatus a few months longer. So grateful to have worked with a crackerjack crew chasing stories on crime, justice, and politics. Here's my attempt at a thread.

The fact that Jeff Bezos is not paying for this is astoundingly offensive.
Former Washington Post reporters launch GoFundMe to help repatriate international staff who was fired and now facing logistical challenges getting out of their countries and back home.

If there’s any group of people that comes out looking better from the Epstein files, it’s woman journalists. @jkbjournalist and @TinaBrownLM of course, but also @kbriquelet and @emilypostnews, who wrote articles in 2018 that got under Epstein’s skin
take it from the great tina brown (@tinabrownlm), who was on to epstein early: this is how you handle a meeting with jeffrey epstein as a journalist

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail. You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history. 👉 https://t.co/OJ43Zm6seT

The filmmaking legend’s abuse allegations are currently being explored in “Allen v. Farrow.” But he also harbored a tight bond with the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Two eyewitnesses say former White House lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler was at Epstein’s arraignment in July 2019—and that the two had a “professional relationship.”

Now-Goldman Sachs top lawyer Kathryn Ruemmler apparently attended Jeffrey Epstein's Manhattan arraignment on sex-trafficking charges, according to this old @kbriquelet story. (Thanks to @TVolscho for bringing it to my attention) https://t.co/bvS3Fucmw5

@kbriquelet and I did a story on a similar 2002 situation in Singapore. Epstein made a lot of connections on the 2002 trip, Clinton made a lot of money giving speeches. The link below https://t.co/BR3vDDQT7W photos first uncovered by @JohnnyVedmore

A few years ago, the great @KBRiquelet and I dug into longtime Jeffrey Epstein lawyer Darren Indyke's background. We found his connections ran through the firm Gold & Wachtel and a notorious tax dodge run by his father.

Nicole Parke dazzled Hollywood’s elite with her billionaire persona. Now, lawsuits allege she deceived investors, friends & employees. An exclusive investigation by my fellow Daily Beast alum @noah_kirsch for @marieclaire. https://t.co/mgqOaaL4yo

Nicole Parke styled herself as a billionaire benefactor. Now, a wave of lawsuits casts her as a master of deception, Marie Claire exclusively reports.

Kathryn Ruemmler (ex-White House counsel) is listed as a successor executor in a copy of Epstein's last will and testament from January 2019. I previously reported she was at Epstein's arraignment the following July. https://t.co/nucXDOm4Je

Epstein's finance pals condoned and cheered on his depravity. What happened in 1983?

There is a whole section of Epstein's Birthday book labeled "Children," with photographs of a very young girl posing and what appears to letters in a child's handwriting.

This is the beginning of a letter that one of Jeffrey Epstein's close childhood friends wrote for his 50th birthday.

A letter from Leon (Leon Black). A bit strange for a "client" of financial services to note such things.

Jeffrey Epstein was recommended by one of his music teachers for Interlochen. Gifted at music. His mother noted about his log cabin there and that he was a Cosmo Bachelor of the Month @kbriquelet
