The FBI is facing fresh calls to release hundreds of 'missing' pieces of evidence raided from Jeffrey Epstein's $51 million New York townhouse following the release of a new list of his associates.
Among the items said to be missing are tapes, CDs, passports and pictures all located inside a safe within the property during a siege on the home in July 2019, shortly after Epstein was arrested.
It comes as speculation continues to swirl that Epstein was working as an agent for Israeli intelligence agency Mossad prior to his suicide while awaiting trial for child sex offences.
FBI agent Kelly Maguire previously testified the agency broke open a safe at his home in July 2019 to reveal the cache of evidence, along with 'loose diamonds' and 'large amounts of US currency'.
Speaking at the sex-trafficking trial of Epstein's madam Ghislaine Maxwell, she told the court the agents only photographed the contents as they did not have a warrant for its removal, the Telegraph reports.
When the agency returned to seize the evidence on July 11, it had vanished according to Maguire who claimed it was subsequently returned in two suitcases by Richard Kahn, Epstein's former lawyer and executor of his estate.
She could not confirm if the content on the CDs was the same as the ones photographed but said all items had been accounted for.
The agency alluded to the contents of the safe in an application to a judge to deny Epstein's bail.
Boxes of CDs and hard drives were also discovered in several rooms in Epstein’s Upper East Side, including in a massage room.
On the fifth floor FBI agents found meticulously labelled CDs in black binders which they said contained photos.
The disclosure fueled speculation that Epstein may have been running a honeypot entrapment operation, gaining valuable 'kompromat' material to blackmail political and business elites.
Former Israeli spies have gone on record stating as much and claiming that Epstein was brought into the spy game by Ghislaine Maxwell's father Robert Maxwell, who was also identified as a Mossad agent by Ari Ben-Menashe, who worked worked for Israel 's Military Intelligence Directorate from 1977 to 1987.
Reports at the time of the raid on Epstein's home also stated that stacks of lewd photographs of children were uncovered in the safe.
The mansion had 40 rooms which took the FBI 12 hours to sweep, according to Maguire.
The townhouse was given to Epstein by lingerie tycoon Leslie Wexner who reportedly gifted it to him for just $1.
Wexner was among several high profile names who appear on the new associate list, which also includes Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is among those raising questions over the FBI's conduct.
'The FBI raided Epstein's island in 2019 and confiscated tapes and evidence of child rape and human trafficking,' she wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
'If the FBI was legit the child rapists would be in jail but instead they hide the evidence and protect the rich and powerful elites in order to keep them under control.'
DailyMail.com has contacted lawyers for Kahn for comment.
