The FBI has released information from its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, revealing insights from his former private chef, Adam Perry Lang. During a video conference in 2021, Lang described his experiences working for Epstein and detailed some of the high-profile guests who visited the financier’s properties.
According to the FBI files obtained by Us Weekly, Lang primarily reported to Ghislaine Maxwell, who was convicted in December 2021 on charges of sex trafficking a minor and conspiracy to transport minors to engage in sexual activity. The files indicate that Maxwell exhibited a range of behaviors, from upbeat to aggressive, while managing the household. Lang reported that Maxwell imposed restrictions on his interactions with guests, suggesting that she operated under pressure from Epstein.
The investigation also noted Maxwell’s excitement when members of the royal family, including Prince Andrew, visited. Lang recounted encounters with Andrew, recalling that the prince traveled on Epstein’s private plane and was seen at both Epstein’s Florida estate and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Both Andrew and former U.S. President Donald Trump, who dined at Epstein’s home, have denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein’s criminal activities.
In a significant twist, Prince Andrew was arrested on February 19, 2023, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. He has yet to publicly address the ongoing investigation surrounding his connections to Epstein. The FBI files further mention that Bill Clinton was also present on Epstein’s plane, where he reportedly ate off Lang’s cutting board. Clinton has testified before the House Oversight Committee regarding his ties to Epstein, maintaining his innocence by stating, “I know what I saw, and more importantly, what I didn’t see.”
Lang’s portrayal of Epstein aligns with a relaxed demeanor, although he described an incident where Epstein became aggressive after Lang took a personal day. The chef noted that Epstein’s energy shifted dramatically, which he found unsettling.
Epstein faced numerous federal sex trafficking charges before his death by suicide in August 2019 while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City. He was 66 years old at the time of his death, with allegations of abusing dozens of girls dating back to the early 2000s.
In a recent letter to Congress, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that the Justice Department has released all files pertaining to Epstein as mandated by law. However, additional records are anticipated to be disclosed in the future.
