The House Judiciary Democrats’ 53 Page Trump/Epstein Report (Part 3) (10/27/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to dive right
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: back in to the new report put out by the
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Democrats about Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump. As documented by
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: interviews conducted by the House Judiciary Committee, Epstein would attend pageants, parties,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and other events that Casablancas and Trump would host, including
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at Mar-a-Lago to pray on young women. Ron Rice, the
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: founder of another beauty pageant, told reporters that he would
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: send models and pageant contestants to Mar-a-Lago for parties at
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the request of both Trump and Casablanca. The first-hand accounts
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of these parties are chilling. Former teen model Tina Davis
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: said in an interview that in 1994, when she was
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: 14 years old, her booker instructed her to dress sexy
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and attend Mar-a-Lago party where young, underage girls were applied
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: with alcohol. At that party, Marla Maples, then married to
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, cornered David's mother and reportedly told her, whatever
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you do, do not let her around any of these men,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and especially my husband. Other reports of young models around
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Trump and Casablanca justify Marla Maples' concerns. Several years after
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: that incident in 1996, a young woman named Lisa Boyne
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: attended a dinner with Trump, Casablanca, and six models on
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the Lower East Side. During the dinner, Boyne alleges that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Trump and Casablanca made the women dance on the table,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: peeked under their skirts, and described their underwear. Boyne stated
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that both Trump and Casablanca refused to leave their seats
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: at the end of the table, meaning the women were
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: forced to climb over them or the table in their
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: skirts to leave. Donald Trump also pursued modeling ventures of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: his own. In 1993, he hosted the American Dream Calendar
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Girls competition in also called the Donald J. Trump American
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Dream pageant at his casino in Atlantic City and his
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Plaza Hotel in New York. He later bought the Miss
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Universe pageant and then found Trump Model Management poaching numerous
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: staff from Casablanca's agency. In some industry experts' view, this
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: represented an attempt to gain access to a steady stream
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of women without the middleman of model agents. One explained,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: if you have your own agency and you're the owner,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: you can tell your bookers to make a party. Three
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: former Trump models, all non-citizens of the U.S., told reporters
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in 2016 that TMM profited by using foreign models who
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: came to the country on tourist visas that did not
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: allow them to work here. Multiple models who worked for
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: TMM described it as akin to modern-day slavery. Epstein later
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: told a journalist how Trump used to offer other men
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to have a great time with the models
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in his contests. Jeffrey Epstein evidently appreciated Donald Trump's business model.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: When years later, Jeffrey helped finance and set up the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: modeling agency MC Squared Model Management, he explicitly remarked that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: he wanted it run and organized just like Donald Trump's
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: modeling agency. Another key player in this world with close
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: ties to Trump, Casablancas, and Epstein was Paolo Zampolli, an
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Italian-born modeling agent who recently served as Trump's special envoy
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: for global partnerships. Zampoli remains a close friend of the
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: President and First Lady Melania Trump. In the 1990s, Zampoli
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: worked as a modeling talent scout and eventually found his
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: own firm, ID Model Management. Zampoli has long claimed credit
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: for hiring a young Slovenian model named Melania Nos and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: sponsoring her immigration to the United States, arranging for her
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: to receive an H-1B1 visa and setting her up at
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: a New York apartment in 1996. Both Trump and NOS
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: attended a party hosted in 1998. This has become the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: basis for Zampolli saying he introduced Donald and Melania Trump.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: In 2004, Zampolli and Epstein briefly became business partners in
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: a failed bid to buy the New York branch of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Elite from Casablanca. After that failed bid, Zampolli moved into
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the real estate business and spent time working for the
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Trump Organization. Summaries of witness interviews kept by the FBI
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: investigators known as FD302s, suggested Zampolli helped Epstein prey on
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: models working for him, and likely preyed on those same
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: models himself. An FD302 of an interview with Epstein's former assistant,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein Assistant 1, provides significant background on Zampolli's relationship to
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this world and on Zampolli and Epstein's relationship to Donald Trump.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Epstein Assistant 1 would have access to significant inside information
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: about Epstein's world. She was a young Polish model who
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: served as Epstein's close associate for several years, recruited other
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: women to give him nude massages, was reportedly abused by him,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: visited him in prison over 50 times, and was named
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: as an Epstein co-conspirator in the 2007 indictment, that was
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: never filed. In her FD-302, Epstein Assistant 1 noted that
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: when she first moved to the United States at age 19,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: she was introduced to Zampoli, who became her agent. Zampoli
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: arranged for Epstein Assistant 1 to live at a model
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: house on Varick Street, New York, with 10 other women
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: because she did not have the funds to pay for
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her own apartment. It was during this time that Epstein
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: discovered her. Epstein visited Zampoli at his modeling agency when
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: there were casting auditions for models and Epstein would look
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: through the portfolios and saw photographs of girls wearing only
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: swim bottoms. In a portion covered by redactions, she also
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: states that she had an affair with the agent who
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: promoted her meeting Zampoli. Redacted put Redacted in contact with
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: an agent named Paolo Zampoli, who worked with ID Models. Redacted,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Zampoli was trying to buy elite models with Epstein. Epstein
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: introduced Melania Trump to Donald Trump. Epstein was visiting Zampoli
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: at the agency. When there were casting auditions for models,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Epstein was looking through portfolios and saw Redacted's photograph of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: her wearing only swim bottoms. It's unclear why DOJ would
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: redact information indicating that Paolo Zampoli, then a senior Trump official,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: preyed on a barely-of-age model before he trafficked her to Epstein. Notably, Zampoli,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: when questioned about his connection and perhaps recognizing that any
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: relationship with Epstein confidant would prove problematic, gave multiple contradictory
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: answers in a single breath about his association with Epstein
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Assistant 1, stating, I remember that girl. I don't even remember.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: She was one of them, if you say so. You know,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: we have many models. People ask me this name, sometimes
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: models go with a different name. You know, an owner
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: of an agency does not need to know every single
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: model of his agency. Zampoli's blustering statement of not remembering,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: but also barely remembering, a young model he recruited, had
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: an affair with, and trafficked Epstein is most revealing. Epstein
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: assistant number one also credibly contradicted Zampoli's claim that he
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: was responsible for introducing Donald Trump to Melania. The FD302
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: states unequivocally, Epstein introduced Melania Trump to Donald Trump. Melania,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: of course, like Epstein Assistant 1, also lived in a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Zampoli-arranged house on Varick Street when she first came to
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the United States in the late 1990s. Zampoli's former partner
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of 19 years, the Brazilian model Amanda Angaro, likewise challenged
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Zampoli's account. Ongaro has asserted Zampolli was never the one
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: introducing Melania to Trump. It was Jeffrey Epstein. That's how
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: she met Donald Trump. In other words, two women who
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: had a sexual relationship with Zampolli around the time of
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the introduction both claim definitively that Epstein introduced Melania to Trump.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Melania Trump has denied these accounts. Zampolli appeared in many
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: ways to be an active participant in Epstein's sex trafficking operation.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: bringing models into the United States for Epstein to recruit
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: and abuse. Yet another FD-302 submitted by a different woman
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: relates how an 18-year-old model came to New York and
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: worked for Zampoli. Like Melania in Epstein Associate 1, Zampoli
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: arranged for her to receive a visa and put her
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: up on Varick Street. Around this time, she was recruited
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: to give a massage at Epstein's house where Epstein raped her. Traumatized,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: she left New York shortly thereafter. Redacted worked odd jobs
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and when she moved to New York. Redacted worked in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the service industry. When Redacted was 18 years old, she
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: signed with Redacted, whose founder was Paolo Zampoli. Redacted lived
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: in the model's apartment on Barrick Street with two other girls.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Zampoli was a sleazy and dated Redacted. Zampoli made her
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: get a short haircut and then let her go. Redacted
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: only lived in this apartment for approximately a year. This
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: modeling job was different than before. because all she did
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: was sit around the apartment a lot. Redacted moved with
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: another model, who Zampoli, rest is cut off. The available
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: evidence indicates Zampoli, Epstein, and Casablancas all worked to further
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a diffused, but interconnected, sex trafficking operation. As set forth below,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: this sex trafficking operation directly implicates Donald Trump. Casablancas died
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in 2013. Donald and Melania Trump have kept Zampoli close.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Throughout Trump's first term, Zampoli and Ungaro repeatedly socialized with
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Donald and Melania. In the final months of that term,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: at Melania's urging, Trump appointed Zampolli to the board of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the JFK Center for Performing Arts. In his second term,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Trump appointed Zampolli to be the global envoy of strategic partnerships,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a position he serves in until he was fired recently.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: He was also recently credibly accused of sexual assault by
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: a young Republican model who claimed Zampolli drugged and raped
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: her in 2023. Her complaint explains that from his early
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: career in the modeling industry to his current role as
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: a U.S. special envoy, Zampoli has leveraged his access to
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: young models to cultivate and maintain relationships within high-profile networks.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Her complaint also notes that Zampoli is a fixture within
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: President Trump's social and political circles. All right, folks, we're
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: going to wrap up this episode right here. In the
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: next episode, we're going to pick up with witness accounts.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: 11 Women Who Linked Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. All
• 10:52
