Welcome back to The Red Letter.

Since publishing my investigation into John Kerry’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) told me that Kerry “should be called in for questioning to [the House] Oversight [and Government Reform Committee].” Kerry’s spokesperson did not respond when asked whether the former secretary of state would voluntarily testify before the committee.

For years, Kerry’s ties to Epstein have faced little scrutiny.

Over months, I reviewed thousands of documents and conducted interviews with witnesses and survivors connected to Epstein’s world. The records paint a picture of a decades-long relationship between Epstein and one of the Democratic Party’s most enduring foreign policy figures — a man whose influence stretched across multiple Democratic administrations as a senator, presidential nominee, secretary of state, and climate envoy.

The documents show Epstein repeatedly attempting to broker or peddle access to Kerry to figures including Steve Bannon, tarred Dubai shipping executive Sultan bin Sulayem, and disgraced Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen.
