What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. The New York Times has a new piece out about Corinia Schuliac, Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend at the time that he died. And there's certainly a lot of questions that still hang in the air when it comes to Corinia Schuliac and where exactly she fits in in the story overall. So in this episode, we're going to jump into an article from the New York Times and talking about Corinia Schuliac and providing us a bit more context about who she is and what her role was. Like I said, this article was published by the New York Times and the headline meet the Woman who Stands to Inherit Much of Jeffrey Epstein's Fortune. This article was authored by Matthew Goldstein and Sharon Otterman. The young dentist was smiling and soft spoken, wearing a Columbia University fleece jacket and holding her long hair back with a clip. She was introduced by her assistant, simply Dr. Corinna. But what the patient who had come to the office in December expecting to see a different dentist didn't know was that she was being treated by Dr. Corinna Shuliak, the notorious sex offender. Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend. Yeah, probably not the person I want rooting around in my mouth. Can I have somebody besides Nurse Ratched, please? Dr. Schuliac was the last person Mr. Epstein called before he killed himself in his jail cell in 2019. Allegedly. I'm glad they're so sure about everything, huh? I mean, Matthew Goldstein and Sharon Otterman. I'm sure they trust the Trump administration in all other areas, but all of a sudden they're sure. That Epstein killed himself, huh? Okay, I guess. She could inherit as much as 100 million from his estate, including a 33 karat diamond ring, according to a trove of investigative records released by federal authorities. But on that winter day, Dr. Schuliak was working as a part time dentist in an unremarkable office in downtown Brooklyn. According to dentist who work, or used to work at the practice. That must be wild. You find out that you were working with one of Jeffrey Epstein's, you know, girlfriends, one of his confidants. And look, I don't know what Crinia Schuliac was up to, if anything, as far as Jeffrey Epstein's criminal operation goes, but I'm sure she has some information that could be helpful. Whether that's incriminating or not, I have no idea. But she was certainly around. She has intimate knowledge of who that dude was, what his mind frame was, and what was going on that final phone call. And I think that's very important for us to hear, and I think Congress should subpoena her. Her attempt to forge something of a normal life, though, was soon shattered when the Justice Department released 3 million pages of investigative files and emails it had gathered on Mr. Epstein. The files, released in late January, included thousands of intimate emails between Dr. Schuliak and Mr. Epstein and dozens of photographs of her and them together. Not exactly the kind of information you want to go down in the record, right? Yeah. You know Jeffrey Epstein's girlfriend. No big deal. Suddenly, their nearly eight year relationship was on vivid display for all to see. They had fights about sex, with both wanting more at different times. She placed orders to a sexual wellness company for couples. She periodically sent them links to graphic pornographic videos. In some emails, they discussed birth control pills and acne medications and treatments. Dr. Schuliak, 37, emerges as a complicated and unusual figure in Mr. Epstein's world, based on a close review of the files and conversations with several people familiar with her. A native of Belarus who met Mr. Epstein when she was 21. She's not identified herself as a victim, nor have federal authorities considered her a co conspirator in Mr. Epstein's sex trafficking. And that's what I'm talking about. She's occupying a pretty complicated space here. Like she hasn't called herself a victim. And we have no information that she was partaking in any of the abuse. So where does she fit in? In my opinion, she fits in as somebody that has a whole lot of knowledge. She can fill in some gaps. She can provide maybe some details about some situations that they don't have a complete picture of. And if they would have done a real investigation from the very beginning, you would think that they'd call her in, right? Sit her down. What did you guys talk about on that last phone call? What happened? What did he tell you? What was his state of mind? Is there anything that we might have missed? But God forbid they do that, right? God forbid they have a real investigation. There's no indication that the Federal Bureau of Investigations ever interviewed her. And lawyers for hundreds of his victims have never deposed her. The last person to talk to him, and the authorities never bothered to talk to her. Yeah, nothing odd about that. Everything is on the up and up here. Meanwhile, we have the attorney general at the time, Bill Barr, going to visit Stone Reyes at his house after he was released from jail. Okay, cool. Can we get some contemporaneous notes on that? What did they talk about? He once called her his favorite and often told her he loved her. She had free use of a credit card to buy whatever she wanted. They jetted around the world together, and he funneled payments of nearly 1 million to her over the years. He also sent tens of thousands of dollars to her parents in Belarus, the files reveal. And there is abject poverty in Belarus. Well, they have money for weapons of war, right? They have money to help their boy Putin. But besides that, not exactly what you would call a rich country. And when you have somebody sending tens of thousands of dollars back to your family, certainly not the kind of thing you want to let go of. Over the years, she earned enough of his trust to help manage his properties and staff, and even played a critical role in this effort to buy a Moroccan plane just weeks before his 2019 arrest. So she basically stepped in and took over the role of Glenn Maxwell and Sarah Kellen Vickers. Maybe not with the abuse and the criminal end of it, but the logistics, taking over Epstein's household, calling the shots, you know, that kind of thing. And again, look, I'm not saying she was involved in the abuse. We've seen no indication of that. But she was around, and I think that that's very important. And I think that if you were around something like this, you probably saw stuff, even if you don't know it. And that's why it's important for everybody to sit down with investigators. Mr. Epstein controlled the relationship, but there's little doubt she benefited from it professionally, personally, and financially. The emails reveal new details about how Mr. Epstein helped her get into Columbia University's dental school and how he helped her obtain u. S. Citizenship by asking one of his female victims to marry her. Well, who told you about that? I told you there was marriage fraud and immigration fraud and a whole host of other nobody's talking about. And look, epstein didn't do all of that on his own. There was somebody at the immigration office that was playing ball. There was somebody that was like, okay, we can do this. Send over the paperwork now. We'll probably never find out who that is because the government doesn't want to show their ass. And we've seen that with the redactions in the files, we have no idea who was engaging in the investigation. So how do we know who to hold accountable? And obviously the law says that we should know who is engaging in these conversations and certainly who made the decision to not go after Epstein, to go after this one, to go after that one, and to give this one or that one a pass. All of that should be known to us. In one email, he suggested that the fastest way to a green card was through a same sex marriage. This year, Congressional Democrats accused Mr. Epstein of exploiting the immigration system and called out Dr. Schuliac's marriage to an american woman, which ended in divorce, as potentially illusory. One US immigration authorities have not challenged the process through which Dr. Schuliak obtained her citizenship because that would give up the game. They'd have to admit then that what I've been telling you is true. And look, don't get this shit confused with the nonsense you see coming from people like candace owens and charlie kirk. We have evidence, mountains of it. They have speculation. And if you're looking for a real cover up, this is it. This is the whole game right here. And that's why they're fighting tooth and nail to make sure you never see the real details. As of this spring, Dr. Schuliak had been living in the upper east side condo building in which Mr. Epstein's brother Mark has a financial stake. And that's the building at East 66th Street. And if you remember, that's where epstein kept all of his models and his employees, and through a partnership with his brother, allegedly, they had access to a group of apartments in that building. Through her lawyer, she declined to comment. In a brief interview, mark epstein said, I only wish that woman the best. Oh, I'm sure. Do you wish any of the survivors the best, Mark? Anybody ask him about that? A friend of Dr. Schuliac's from Belarus who once shared an apartment with her in brooklyn and asked not to be named to protect her Privacy said she believed Dr. Schuliak truly loved Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that's possible. I'm not gonna say that, you know, she wasn't in love with him, but I will tell you this. He didn't love her. This man was incapable of real love. He was a monster, okay? A straight up monster. And I'm not just talking about the sexual deviancy. All of it. The shit he was engaging in, arms running, collecting kompromat, ruining people's lives. All of it is just heinous. Everything this guy was involved in. Corinna Schuliak had lived in New York for only nine months when she met Mr. Epstein. In late March of 2001, she had moved from Belarus on a temporary student visa to study English at a school in Manhattan. She was making about 15 an hour as a dental assistant and applying for waitressing jobs while she tried to figure out how to continue the dental education she had begun in Belarus. A young woman from Siberia who introduced her to Mr. Epstein. The file show. And that's how deep this dude's reach went, all the way into Siberia. Make no mistake, he had his boy, Jean Luc Brunel on the prowl. And Jean Luc Brunel had no problem going to far flung places to find girls to abuse for him and Jeffrey Epstein to share. And when I tell you it was worldwide, this is what I mean. The woman said in an interview with the New York Times that she had periodically been expected to recruit other young women, presumably to provide Mr. Epstein with sexualized massages. And that appeared to be Mr. Epstein's intention with Dr. Schuliak. Yeah, he had to have a whole roster, right? He had a menagerie of. Of women and girls that were, quote, unquote, coming to give him massages. We all know what that means. They weren't going to give him massages. Just like you're not going to the weed dispensary to buy a six pack of beer. The woman, who asked not to be named because she said Mr. Epstein had abused her, had sent Mr. Epstein a photo of Dr. Schuliak, describing her as pretty. After some back and forth, it was decided that the woman, Dr. Schuliac and her roommate from Belarus, one, would meet Mr. Epstein at his Manhattan mansion. Go slow, the woman advised Mr. Epstein in an email. Their first encounter fit the familiar pattern he used with other women. Epstein flattered, pampered, and tried to manipulate her. The file show. Almost immediately, he offered to help her realize her dream of becoming a dentist. And the trap was set. Hook line sinker. But the emails show that Dr. Schuliak pushed back, at least in the first few months. A few weeks after they met, she wrote to Mr. Epstein, telling him she had thought he was a remarkable person. But she added that she could not accept his help due to some views which strongly stay in my mind, no matter how stupid it may look. I wish you all the best and I apologize if I wasted your time, she added, though she doesn't specify what upset her. Their introduction occurred after Mr. Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to a charge of soliciting prostitution from an underage teenager and had been accused of abusing dozens of other teenagers. His response was to berate her for listening to rumors and stories. She responded, this world is very cruel sometimes, and in most cases we have to pay a certain price for things. I should say that I have read some information about you. Mr. Epstein, who was 58 at the time, did not take no for an answer. The emails released by federal prosecutors show that he bought Dr. Schuliak and her roommate tickets to see the Lion King on Broadway and dinners at restaurants. He treated her to a scenic helicopter ride around Manhattan. By July 2011, she had visited his New Mexico ranch. A few months later, his private island residence in the U. S. Virgin Islands.
