Beau Donaldson was an FBI Special Agent assigned to the New York Field Office who played a role in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein that culminated in the July 2019 federal arrest. His work included examining financial records, flight logs, and witness accounts.

Maxwell Trial Testimony

At the Ghislaine Maxwell trial in November-December 2021, Donaldson testified as one of the government’s witnesses on investigative findings. His testimony addressed the documentary evidence assembled by the investigation, including flight records and financial transactions.

Investigative Context

The FBI’s 2019 investigation built on the foundation of civil litigation records, flight logs, and victim accounts that had accumulated since the original 2008 Palm Beach investigation. The SDNY case involved coordination between FBI agents, SDNY prosecutors, and analysts.

His role as a case agent in the Epstein investigation and subsequent Maxwell prosecution made him part of the long arc of the federal accountability effort.
