Tara Palmeri lays out her exclusive ten-month investigation into John Kerry's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — one that mainstream media has entirely missed. Kerry, who served as senator, presidential nominee, secretary of state, and Biden's climate envoy, was photographed in Epstein's home with his housekeeper, appeared in Epstein's little black book, and was seen on Epstein's plane according to sworn FBI testimony from Epstein's former chef. Virginia Giuffre told Tara she encountered Kerry during the height of Epstein's sex trafficking operation. But the paper trail goes deeper: Epstein donated to Kerry's Senate and presidential campaigns, fantasized about a "Kerry Scheme" in which Kerry jumped into the 2016 race, and acted as an unofficial broker while Kerry was secretary of state — trying to connect him with disgraced Norwegian diplomat Terje Rod-Larsen, an Emirati shipping tycoon who loved a torture video, and even Steve Bannon. Epstein was also working Kerry's deputy secretary of state, William Burns, who later became Biden's CIA director — Burns met with Epstein twice after he was a registered sex offender and was invited to his island. Because of Tara's investigation, Congressman Ro Khanna said he will call Kerry to testify before the House Oversight Committee. Kerry's spokesperson — who refused to go on the record by name — issued a tone-deaf denial claiming Kerry had no relationship with Epstein. The documents say otherwise.
