With Massie on Epstein Cites Frederic Fekkai is Sued and Removes to SDNY Using DOJ Emails

With Massie on Epstein Cites Frederic Fekkai is Sued and Removes to SDNY Using DOJ Emails by Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Book Substack SDNY COURTHOUSE, Sept 8  Kersti Ferguson, Audra Christiansen and five Jane Does sued Frederick Fekkai and his employee Patrick Coombs in September 2025 in NYS court, citing Rep. Thomas Massie on the Epstein Files, apparently on Fekkia (a still from a video speech is attached). On September 8, 2026 Fekkai filed to remove the case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Inner City Press found the notice of removal, signed by Perry Law, noting that it is the second removal.    Fekkai largely mocks the claims and the claimants, saying the diversity jurisdiction is feigned and that Ferguson has been quoted saying Epstein did not try to have sex with her but rather "shriveled up." DOJ emails are attached.    Fekkai says, "Of course Jeffrey Epstein committed crimes and torts. But these Defendants cannot face liability simply because Epstein was generally evil." As to Patrick Coombs it points out the timeline doesn't work and while there is a Patrick in the Epstein files, "unsurprisingly, over a 20 year period at $400 million enterprise with hundreds of employees had (at least) two Patricks on the job."   The case is Doe 1, et al., v. Fekkai, et al., 1:26-cv-7655 (Unassigned)  *** Your support means a lot. As little as $5 a month helps keep us going and grants you access to exclusive bonus material on our Patreon page.
