Epstein-friendly lesbians managing fraud-plagued Manhattan club in hot water — again



Core, an invitation-only private club in Manhattan where membership fees reportedly range from $15,000 to $100,000 a year, has counted among its approximately 1,500 members Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, former Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold, and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.

Dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was also a longtime patron of the club as well as a founding member.

Jennie and Dangene Enterprise — the lesbian couple who run the club — are both under intense scrutiny over their friendship with the child sex offender in light of new insights from the Epstein files.

Jennie Enterprise, however, might be in especially hot water over the apparently irreconcilable sworn statements that she allegedly provided about her club's finances in two separate cases regarding COVID fraud and rent delinquency.

Competing claims

The club entered a 20-year lease with 711 Fifth Ave Principal Owner LLC in 2021 and took over four floors of the building in 2023.

In the years since, the Enterprises have been engaged in a bitter legal battle with property developer Michael Shvo. For instance, the Core Club reportedly sued Shvo in 2024 for $600 million, alleging that he failed to deliver promised upgrades to the 711 Fifth Ave. property and other locations. Shvo, in turn, accused the Core Club of defaulting on its lease at the Transamerica Pyramid in San Francisco.

Last year, the landlord served the Core Club with a termination notice, alleging that it had "defaulted on its obligation to pay the Base Rent and/or Additional Rent under the Lease in the amount of $3,633,787.13 by Aug. 1" as purportedly required under the lease.

The Core Club, in response, sought what is called a Yellowstone injunction barring the landlord from terminating the lease and evicting the club.

A judge with New York County’s Commercial Division court obliged the Enterprises in September, finding that their club had "established 'it is prepared and maintains the ability to cure the alleged default by any means short of vacating the premises.'"

Attorneys for the landlord have pointed out an apparent discrepancy between the story that Jennie Enterprise and the Core Club told the court and what they told the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York in their COVID-era relief fraud case in August.

The landlord's attorneys alleged in a court filing on Wednesday that the Core Club secured its injunction "by making materially misleading representations to this Court about its financial health," and has "repeatedly been delinquent" on its use and occupancy payments.

The attorneys noted that in September 2025, the club "represented to the Court that it had a more than sufficient financial ability to cure its default of over $3.5 million in past due rent and that it could continue paying Rent at the Least rate."

'You have influenced my life in a really amazing way.'

While supposedly able to pay millions in allegedly past-due rent, the attorneys noted that the club managed in August to avoid paying back most of the over $4 million that Core Club entities — controlled by Jennie Enterprise — fraudulently received in COVID-era relief funds and paid only a fraction of the $8.1 million consent judgment against the club.

The attorneys highlighted that court documents show that Jennie Enterprise's sworn financial disclosures about the Core Club's "financial condition" to the USAO-SDNY led the government "to accept in compromise" a settlement of only $366,000 spread over several years.

The Wednesday court filing alleged:

These apparent representations by the SDNY Core Defendants to the United States Attorney regarding their supposed inability to pay a civil penalty greater than $360,000 over five years flies directly in the face of Tenant’s representations to this Court regarding its supposed ability to cure its default of over $3.5 million in past due rent and continue paying Rent at the Lease rate.

The landlord suggested that under the circumstances, the injunction should be vacated and further relief should be conditioned on the Epstein club's payment of the outstanding rent.

When asked for comment, the Core Club's attorney Marc Kasowitz said in a statement to Blaze News, "Shvo's latest attempt to relitigate issues the Court has already addressed will fail, just as his others have. Shvo's motion falsely claims that Core violated the Yellowstone order, but Core is current on rent and has fully complied with the Court’s directives."

Kasowitz suggested that the apparent function of the filing was to distract from "pressures surrounding Shvo's broader real estate ventures" and noted, "Core will oppose this motion vigorously and is confident the Court will recognize it as another meritless attempt to manufacture a default where none exists."

Shvo's office did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

Epstein's gal pals

The latest trove of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice provides insights into Epstein's involvement with the club and the Enterprises, whose relationship with the pedophile apparently thrived after his guilty plea in 2008 for solicitation of a minor for prostitution.

Epstein not only routinely visited the club's spa and had women in his network attend but clearly made an impression on Jennie Enterprise, who appears to have written to the pedophile just months after his guilty plea, "You are and have always been sooooo special too me ....not sure u will ever know how much you have influenced my life in a really amazing way."

The club recently downplayed Epstein's involvement, telling the Wall Street Journal in a statement that the pedophile was one of 150 members who belonged from 2003 and 2007 but continued thereafter as a client of the club's spa.

Dangene Enterprise often applied Epstein's skin treatments, reported the Journal.

"The Enterprises were never part of this individual’s social world," the club alleged. "He was a sounding board for the Enterprises on a variety of subjects, as he was known to be a highly in-demand, influential financial advisor and philanthropist in New York City."

Here's why Steven Crowder is considering a run for office



Until recently, Steven Crowder hadn't considered running for public office. However, on Tuesday's program, Crowder said his thoughts on running for office are changing.

Crowder told his audience he is afraid that because of the way Donald Trump [and his supporters] have been treated in the months following the 2020 election, "good people who actually want to change the country for good will be afraid to run."

Crowder expressed concern about the era of social media, and how "everyone has something online that could destroy their reputation."

"The only reason I would consider running for office would be because I have nothing to lose. I've made a lot of mistakes. My flaws are on full display," Crowder said.

He later clarified that he doesn't want Americans to think the government rules over them. He wants people to feel they can represent their constituents without a fear of having their lives destroyed by the ruling class in Washington, D.C. Watch the clip for the full story.

NYC GOP club defiant after criticism for holding holiday party that included 'unmasked conga line'



A New York City Republican Club has issued a response after facing backlash over a video showing they held a large holiday gathering where attendees joined in a conga line with no masks in sight, despite COVID-19 restrictions requiring that facial coverings be worn in restaurants unless eating or drinking.

The Whitestone Republican Club dismissed their critics, explaining that "adults have the absolute right to make their own decisions."

What are the details?

The New York Times reported that just days before Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) closed indoor dining in the Big Apple due to the coronavirus earlier this month, the Whitestone Republican Club held a holiday party at a Queens restaurant called Il Bacco. According to The Hill, "at least 50 guests" were at the indoor affair.

Footage circulated online showing revelers trotting to music in a line through the banquet, drawing condemnation on social media and from the governor himself, who said during a press conference, "Why would you do an unmasked conga line in the middle of a covid pandemic, whatever your political persuasion, defies a logical explanation."

The eatery was hit with an investigation by the State Liquor Authority over the ordeal, but the owner insists they were in compliance with the law, including the state's requirement that restaurants limit capacity to 25%.

The Whitestone Republican Club reacted with defiance to the uproar, and they did not hold back.

"So apparently the media is freaking out because we dared to celebrate the holidays in a perfectly ordinary and unremarkable way -- with a gathering of friends and family," the club said in a statement on their Facebook page on Tuesday. "We're now getting calls from the New York Times, Gothamist, the Washington Post and other outlets asking for our comments. On a holiday party. Let that sink in."

The club dunked on "idiot" Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) and "King Cuomo" before explaining:

"Yes, we held a holiday party. A good time was had by all. We abided by all precautions. But we are not the mask police, nor are we the social distancing police. Adults have the absolute right to make their own decisions, and clearly many chose to interact like normal humans and not paranoid zombies in hazmat suits. This is for some reason controversial to the people who believe it's their job to tell us all what to do. We ALL have the inalienable right under the First Amendment to peaceably assemble, and that's what we did. There's no pandemic clause in the Constitution, no matter how badly the media and Cuomo want you to believe otherwise."

"We urge ALL New Yorkers regardless of political affiliation to go out and enjoy the holidays in whatever way makes them happy and comfortable," they wrote, concluding, "Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, and best wishes to all for a peaceful and prosperous new year!"

The Hill noted that New York is currently seeing a surge in coronavirus cases, "especially in Queens," reporting that "as of Tuesday, the state's department of health has recorded a total of more than 878,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with nearly 12,000 newly reported infections on Tuesday alone."

But The Times pointed out that "both Democrats and Republicans in the region have hosted risky get-togethers," reporting that "criticism abounded after Democratic leaders in Brooklyn held a birthday party in late November where many participants lacked masks."

Several high-profile Democratic politicians have been busted nationwide violating their own COVID-19 guidance, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Calif.).

Anything else?

The CDC recommends Americans limit holiday celebrations to members of their own households this year, due to the pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 300,000 people in the U.S.

Yet, even White House Coronavirus Task Force member Dr. Deborah Birx was caught flouting her own guidance by traveling over Thanksgiving weekend to gather with extended family for the holiday. Birx announced this week that she will be retiring due to the backlash she and her family have received since the hypocrisy was exposed.

Conflicting electors: Lawyer Bill Richmond explains how the Electoral College works



Steven Crowder's lawyer, Bill Richmond, clarified how the Electoral College process works. So what exactly is the process?

From a procedural standpoint, Richmond explained, the governors in the weeks following the election, create a certificate of ascertainment. That certificate says these are the electors for this party, these are the votes for that party, and how many votes each party received on Nov. 3. Watch the clip for more.
