How the Epstein Files Finally Put Prince Andrew on the Witness List (5/3/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

0:00
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
0:03
Epstein Chronicles. Now, folks, I know you're gonna be very,
0:06
very shocked by this revelation, but the Joe Exotic of
0:11
the Windsor family has been outed once again in the
0:14
new files. And just like I told you for years,
0:18
this dude not only was credibly accused of partaking in
0:22
the abuse, he was adjacent to the abuse as it
0:26
was happening, according to accusers. And this was all in
0:29
the court documents that we've previously went through. Imagine being
0:32
at somebody like Jeffrey Epstein's house and he's abusing girls,
0:37
and of course you know what's going on because you
0:39
had a girl traffic to you. And not only that,
0:42
but you're at the house while girls are getting molested,
0:45
while girls are getting diddled, while girls are being raped. Yeah, buddy,
0:49
you're a piece of shit. And anybody defending this dude,
0:53
they can get it too. If you haven't figured it
0:55
out by now, I've had enough of all these people
0:58
that are running cover, all these people that have stood
1:00
in the way of justice, and all these people that
1:02
still stand in the way of full transparency. When we
1:05
talk about the enemy that's who we're talking about. It's
1:08
not just the bankers, it's the people that are doing
1:10
the banker's dirty work. And that includes influencers. That includes
1:14
people that are running cover and anybody talking about laundering
1:19
reputations of people that have been outed as being adjacent
1:22
to Epstein. That's the enemy. You have the people in
1:26
the financial sector behind the scenes that are controlling the dance,
1:29
and then you have these so called influencers and quote
1:32
unquote new media that pick up the baton and dance
1:36
to their tune. And it's rather obvious who's doing that.
1:40
And I want you to pay close attention to people
1:42
that get platformed. Those are the people that they feel
1:45
they can manipulate. And wouldn't you know it, nine times
1:47
out of ten, it's the very same people who run
1:50
around yelling about ssyops this and syops that, only to
1:54
be part of a gigantic syop themselves. Funny how that works.
1:58
Today's article is from The un Son and the headline
2:01
Andrew probe Andrew knew that Golaine was the sex madam
2:05
Epstein cops believed as new docs reveal efforts to quiz
2:08
Royal under caution. Look, this was a gigantic battle that
2:13
was happening in real time while everybody else was talking
2:16
about Russia Gate and the Culture War. We were tuning
2:19
all that side quest shit out and we were pounding
2:21
the pavement because we knew the story was a lot
2:24
bigger than they were telling us. And how do we know, Well,
2:27
we listened to the survivors for one and for two.
2:31
I read all the court documents. And not only did
2:33
I read the court documents, but I have a very
2:36
good friend that I grew up with who is a
2:38
fantastic lawyer. So not only was I going through these
2:41
court documents with my own stupid ass, whenever I ran
2:45
into an issue or something I didn't understand, I conferred
2:48
with him and he was able to guide me in
2:50
the right direction. And his guidance using things like Pacer
2:54
was invaluable at the beginning because there was a lot
2:57
to get through, right, a lot to cover, a lot
2:59
to dive into, and certainly a lot to digest. But
3:04
Prince Andrew has always been directly in the middle of
3:07
all of it. He's not adjacent, he's not an enabler.
3:11
He was credibly accused of taking part in the abuse.
3:16
So we have to remember that there's levels to this,
3:18
and I think I'm gonna have to make an episode
3:19
about that that talks about the different levels of people
3:22
that were around Epstein and how that all works out
3:26
because you have different levels and not everybody is as
3:29
guilty as everybody else. You know, an enabler is not
3:34
as guilty as somebody that took part in the abuse.
3:36
Now does that alleviate them from any blame? Of course
3:39
it doesn't. But it's not the same kind of blame
3:42
as somebody that's credibly accused of taking part in the
3:45
abuse themselves, right, And I think that gets conflated a lot.
3:49
So either later on today or tomorrow, we'll have an
3:52
episode going through all of that as well. This article
3:57
was authored by Paul Simms and Scion Bos. The Department
4:03
of Justice on Tuesday released the fourth batch of investigative
4:06
files related to the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile. At
4:10
least eleven thousand documents related to the case of Epstein
4:13
were available on Tuesday on the Department of Justice website.
4:17
It's the largest batch of Epstein docks released so far,
4:20
with nearly thirty thousand more pages. The new files include
4:24
hundreds of videos, as well as audio recordings, including prison
4:28
surveillance footage from August twenty nineteen, when Epstein was found
4:32
dead in his jail cell. And I can't really comment
4:34
on all these videos because I haven't went through them
4:36
all yet, so I'm not going to sit here and
4:38
act like I did. But the one video I did
4:41
see was the fake suicide video that was released. How
4:44
the fuck does that even get into the docket? How
4:47
does that get into the possession of the DOJ, And
4:49
not only that, but end up in these files, even
4:52
though these files should have been sanitized. This whole entire
4:55
thing has been nothing but negligent, from them not following
5:00
what the law says, to them releasing redacted files, to
5:03
them releasing bullshit that should have never been in the
5:05
docket in the first place. Also featured in the documents
5:10
are core transcripts, FBI and dj records, emails, and news clippings.
5:16
The DOJ posted around eleven thousand links to new documents online,
5:20
but some of them appeared to lead nowhere. An explosive
5:23
twenty two page document released in the latest tranch of
5:27
files list Andrew in his then full title HRH Prince
5:31
Andrew Albert Christian Edward, the Duke of York, as a
5:34
witness relating to two ongoing criminal investigations. Not only that,
5:39
but he was a person of interest. Let's not forget
5:42
that part. I encourage all of you to go back
5:46
in time and listen to what Jeffrey Berman, who was
5:50
at the SDNY at the time, had to say about
5:52
Prince Andrew. In fact, you know what, maybe you will
5:55
revisit that as well, because it's very important to add
5:58
as much context as we can. This is not a
6:01
surface level issue. You have to really do the work here.
6:04
And if you don't do the leg work and you
6:06
don't do the investigating yourself as far as you know,
6:09
knowing the who's, the what's in the whns, you're gonna
6:12
be left behind. And that's why we stay on top
6:14
of it every day, because it's not one of these
6:17
topics where you can drop it and then come back
6:19
to it and just pick right back up. There is
6:22
just so much going on. Referring to the probe into Epstein,
6:25
it says the investigation to date has revealed that Prince
6:29
Andrew may have been witnessed to and or participant in
6:32
certain events of relevance to the ongoing investigation. Yeah, like
6:35
the orgy that he had on the island, you know,
6:38
the one that he was accused of having. Sounds like
6:41
something that might be a bit relevant. No, probably something
6:44
you should look into. For example, one victim has alleged
6:49
that Maxwell introduced her to Prince Andrew, who, according to
6:52
this victim, was present for certain of the victim's interactions
6:56
with Epstein and Maxwell. Well, yeah, Epstein and Max Well
7:00
knew they could trust Prince Andrew, so when he was
7:02
over for one of their little creepy ass diddler's sleepovers.
7:06
Well you think Jeffrey Epstein wasn't having a grolover or two.
7:09
And you have to remember people don't even talk about this,
7:13
but it's a fact. Jeffrey Epstein had these little girls
7:16
that were coming from South America, coming from Eastern Europe
7:21
to do quote unquote modeling gigs, and they'd end up
7:24
living at that townhouse. Oh you don't believe me, Well,
7:27
that's because you don't know the story. Why don't you
7:30
go back and check the Maritza Vasquez deposition about what
7:34
she said about Jean Luke Brunel mc squared and Jeffrey
7:37
fucking Epstein because I gotta tell you, I trust somebody
7:40
that was involved. I trust somebody that was there a
7:43
lot more than I trust these idiots who are trying
7:46
to refurbish the reputation of Jeffrey Epstein's friends. Additionally, documentary
7:52
evidence uncovered during the course of this investigation as revealed
7:56
information suggesting that Prince Andrew had knowledge that Max Well
8:00
recruited females to engage in sex acts with Epstein and
8:03
other men. Virginia told us all of this, I really
8:09
wish everybody that's interested now was interested back when this
8:12
was happening, when we could have really had some motion.
8:16
It's hello depressing to think about now. I try not
8:18
to live in the past, obviously because it does us
8:21
no good. But boy, we really could have made some
8:23
ground if everybody would have paid attention then. And I
8:28
was yelling from the rooftops. I can't tell you how
8:31
many people in my real life got tired of hearing
8:33
about it. I mean, me and the homie loub my
8:36
boy Brian, we went on this hiking adventure when I
8:39
first started the podcast, and he was cracking up. He
8:42
was like, Yo, everything I heard you say on that
8:44
podcast is the same kind of shit you say in
8:46
the backyard when we're hanging out, and it's true. This
8:50
is the kind of shit I've been talking about for
8:52
years and years and years because it's fucked up, and
8:56
it doesn't take a genius or a great investigator to realize.
9:00
My eyes were really opened when the FBI went after
9:03
my own family member, when they were going after my grandfather.
9:07
The way they did it was so out of line
9:09
and so disgusting that it really woke me up to
9:13
how abusive the government can be. And what really launched
9:16
me into the Epstein investigation was when I heard that
9:19
there weren't RICO charges. I have several friends and family
9:23
members who have been charged with RICO, and I promise
9:26
you they weren't up to half the shit that Jeffrey
9:28
Epstein was up to. They weren't hurting nobody as far
9:31
as violence. They certainly weren't trafficking people. They were involved
9:35
in illegal gambling, so you know, wire fraud shit like that.
9:39
But they got hit with RICO. But Jeffrey Epstein's bitch
9:42
ass does it. Neither does Glenn Maxwell. And when I
9:45
saw that go down, when I saw the charges first
9:48
come in, I knew that the fix was in, and
9:51
that's when I started diving into the case. It was
9:54
all based on that, and then from there everything just
9:57
mushroom for me. I was contacted by people, started talking
10:01
to survivors behind the scenes who heard the podcast, and
10:05
that's when I started to really build a repository of
10:07
knowledge as far as what was going on behind the scenes.
10:11
But this is something that's been happening for years and
10:13
years and years, and look, I'm very thankful that everybody's
10:16
here now one hundred percent. I just feel like we
10:19
could have got a lot more done when this was
10:21
actually happening in real time. Finally, there's evidence that Prince
10:27
Andrew engaged in sexual conduct involving one of Epstein's victims.
10:32
US prosecutors also wanted Andrew interviewed under caution over sex
10:36
trafficking claims against Epstein. Well, look, Virginia told the truth.
10:41
I'm sorry people don't want to believe it, or they're
10:44
still denying it. Whatever, she told the truth. Prince Andrew,
10:48
on the other hand, has lied every step of the way.
10:52
So when you show me who you are and you
10:54
tell me who you are, you better believe I'm paying attention.
10:58
A statement from the DOJ stated that some of the
11:00
docks also include untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump.
11:05
It read to be clear the claims are unfounded and false,
11:09
and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly
11:12
would have been weaponized against President Trump already. The newly
11:15
released files into the investigation of Epstein show the DOJ
11:19
invoked a legal treaty with Britain in April twenty twenty
11:23
to question the disgraced royal about Epstein, and we covered
11:27
that at the time. It was an MLA request, I
11:30
believe it was called. And that's when the government of
11:33
America or the UK reaches out to the government vice versa,
11:38
and they want to talk to somebody of importance. And
11:41
obviously Prince Andrew was that. The bombshell request of the
11:46
Home Office, first revealed by The Sun, demanded the voluntary
11:49
interview with material Witness PA to be videotaped and recorded
11:53
in the presence of the FBI, the district Attorney and
11:56
a detective from the NYPD. Never happened. Andrew was protected,
12:01
he was hidden and he was shielded. Keep that in
12:04
mind when you hear these assholes out here trying to
12:06
launder these idiot's reputations. They've earned every bit of scrutiny
12:10
they're getting. And just because you avoid a bill doesn't
12:14
mean that that shit doesn't come due later on down
12:16
the road. And guess what before it was fuck around time.
12:20
Now it's find out time. And if they don't like it,
12:24
or their supporters don't like it, I don't care. Call
12:27
Parter your faves, all of your favorite politicians, all of
12:31
your favorite people, they're all scumbags. Run home and tell
12:35
that it. States US authorities seek to conduct an investigative
12:42
interview of Prince Andrew. US authorities specifically requested to conduct
12:47
the questioning themselves in the presence of UK authorities, to
12:50
ensure that all necessary lines of inquiry are completed in
12:54
the most efficient fashion. The specific subject matter of questioning
12:58
are set forth in the attack. US authorities requests that
13:02
the interview be recorded using both video and audio recording equipment.
13:07
US authorities further request that the witness meant of a
13:10
voluntary interview, that if he were to provide false information
13:14
to authorities, he could be prosecuted for perverting the course
13:18
of justice in the UK and may be prosecuted for
13:21
making false statements in the US. Unfortunately that never happened,
13:25
but it should have. I promise if it was you
13:28
or I, we'd be in prison right now. The document
13:32
states that the royal outcast stripped of all of his
13:34
titles over the scandal, is not presently a target of
13:37
the investigation, and that US authorities have not to date
13:41
gathered evidence that he has committed any crime. But it
13:44
goes on. If the witness declines to participate in either
13:47
type of voluntary interview requested above, US authorities requests that
13:51
UK authorities conduct a compelled interview under oath employing the
13:56
subject matters set out and attachment ce noted above. If
14:00
it would assist UK authorities, US authorities will produce a
14:03
list of specific questions covering each of the topics outlined.
14:08
Prior to conducting the compelled interview, US authorities request that
14:11
the witness be read the following caution on the record.
14:15
Andrew's caution details sex trafficking allegations involving minors, and reads
14:20
you may refuse to answer any question if a truthful
14:23
answer to the question would tend to incriminate you. Anything
14:27
you say may be used against you. If you have
14:30
retained counsel. You will be permitted a reasonable opportunity to
14:33
consult with counsel if you so desire. Note that if
14:37
you make any knowingly false statement, you can be prosecuted
14:40
for perverting the course of justice and other related crimes
14:43
under the laws of the UK. As part of their probe,
14:47
the US wanted all communication including email, text, recorded or
14:51
transcribe voicemail between him and Epstein, and any other written
14:55
correspondence or notes of oral communication. Stuff that should have
15:00
been given and Prince Andrew should have willingly went to
15:03
the FBI's office to talk to them. He didn't do it.
15:07
I wonder why. But they also demanded the requests set
15:12
out under the ninety four Treaty of Mutual Legal Assistance,
15:15
that's the MLA in criminal matters between the US and UK,
15:19
be kept confidential in a bid to protect the integrity
15:22
of their investigation. It goes on because the person's referenced
15:26
in the request are generally aware of the US authorities investigation.
15:30
US authorities are not requesting that the existence of this
15:34
legal assistance request be kept confidential. However, premature notification of
15:39
the specific subject matter and the questions outlined in the
15:42
attachments to the request could seriously jeopardize the investigation or
15:47
compromise any trial by prompting a witness to alter or
15:51
prepare his or her answers two specific questions, by prompting
15:55
others to destroy or tamper with evidence, change patterns of behavior,
15:59
and timidate potential witnesses or alert others who could do
16:03
the same. Andrew's legal team claimed the disgraced royal had
16:07
offered three times to give a written statement. In a
16:10
statement issued in June of twenty twenty, Andrew's legal team
16:13
accused US prosecutors of publicly seeking and giving an entirely
16:18
misleading account of what was going on. The lawyer's statement
16:21
said the Duke of York has, on at least three
16:23
occasions this year, offered his assistance as a witness to
16:27
the DOJ. Unfortunately, the DOJ has reacted to the first
16:31
offers by breaching their own confidentiality rules and claiming that
16:35
the Duke has offered zero cooperation. That's because he hasn't
16:39
offered it. Did he give it? Oh he didn't, right,
16:42
so please shut up. In doing so, they are perhaps
16:46
seeking publicity rather than accepting the assistance proffered. They claim
16:50
us attorney Jeffrey Berman breach confidentiality when on January twenty seventh,
16:55
following an initial contact with the then Duke, he claimed
16:59
there was a wall of silence and zero cooperation. The
17:02
lawyers added these statements were inaccurate and they should not
17:05
have been made. They said. A further statement by mister
17:09
Berman that the Duke had shut the door on cooperating
17:12
was also inaccurate. The lawyers added, it's a matter of
17:16
regret that the DOJ is seen fit to breach its
17:19
own rules of confidentiality, not least as they are designed
17:22
to encourage cooperation. He was never going to cooperate in
17:26
the first place. That's why they shamed them. Come on,
17:30
far from our client acting above the law, as has
17:33
been implied by press briefings in the US, He's being
17:36
treated by a lower standard than might reasonably be expected
17:39
for any other citizen. Oh yeah, sure, Ask Khalif Browder
17:42
about that. Ask my homie f dog about that. Who
17:46
ended up doing a gigantic bid fuck out he here man.
17:51
In a blistering response, New York prosecutors said, today Prince
17:55
Andrew yet again sought the falsely betray himself to the
17:58
public as eager and willing to cooperate with an ongoing
18:01
federal criminal investigation into sex trafficking and related offenses committed
18:06
by Jeffrey Epstein. The Prince is not given an interview
18:10
to federal authorities and has repeatedly declined our request to
18:13
schedule such an interview. Nearly four months ago, he informed
18:17
us unequivocally, through the very same council who issued today's release,
18:22
that he would not come for an interview. If Prince
18:26
Andrew is in fact serious about cooperating with the ongoing
18:29
federal investigation, our doors remain open, and we await word
18:33
when we should expect them. Secret of maal exchanges between
18:37
Andrew's lawyers and US prosecutors among thousands of files released today,
18:41
shed fresh light on the row. In one message, Gary Bloxam,
18:45
Andrew's lawyer, complains, on January tenth, twenty twenty, you personally
18:50
assured me that any contact between the Duke of York
18:53
and the DOJ was confidential and would remain confidential within
18:57
the investigation team in the DOJNFBA. At no point did
19:01
you suggest that because of a press statement made on
19:04
behalf of the Duke in November, you were your colleagues
19:07
and the investigation team would feel able to provide a
19:10
public commentary on the DOJ's views on the degree of
19:13
cooperation provided by the Duke. In other words, how dare
19:16
you out the Duke for being a scumbag? And this
19:19
is the kind of bullshit that I'm tired of. This
19:21
is the kind of bullshit that I'm done with. I
19:27
object to your wholly inaccurate statement that the Duke has
19:29
created a public misimpression. The Duke is made clear that
19:33
he has a strong desire to cooperate fully with the
19:36
ongoing investigation by the District Attorney Investigator. The communications between
19:41
us were not intended to enable him to provide that cooperation.
19:45
In order for this process to continue, I need to
19:48
emphasize that we regard the confidential treatment of all contacts
19:52
between the DAI and the Duke as essential. Trying to
19:56
set the terms. You don't get to set the terms
19:59
when you're in in a human trafficking ring that's abusing children,
20:02
You dumb fuck the DOJ hit pack. You're aware of
20:07
our position, and we don't believe any further rehashing of
20:10
our prior conversation is productive at this point. That said,
20:14
we can confirm that our standard practice to refrain from
20:18
publicly commenting on the substance of any witness interview, and
20:21
we intend to abide by the practice in this case.
20:24
Beyond that, we can make no commitments. Please advise as
20:27
to whether Prince Andrew will agree to be interviewed, and
20:30
if so, when such interview will take place. A US
20:34
attorney said public statements about Andrew's cooperation with requests for
20:38
information in their probe into Epstein should not rehash all
20:42
of the various factual inaccuracies in his account of the past.
20:46
Newly released email show, an unnamed attorney from New York
20:49
told mister Berman on June eighth, twenty twenty, jeff As discussed,
20:53
I've put together a short proposed statement responding to the
20:56
press release issued by Prince Andrew's council this morning. If
21:00
we do issue something in response, as you'll see, I
21:03
would recommend to keep it short and forward looking, rather
21:06
than trying to rehash all the various factual inaccuracies in
21:09
his account in the past. So look, there is no
21:13
doubt that Prince Andrew was neck deep in all of this,
21:17
and there's no doubt that Prince Andrew knows a lot
21:19
more than he's ever come forward and said, and that
21:22
was certainly the thinking of the prosecution at the time
21:25
as well. They knew that Prince Andrew had vital information
21:28
and they wanted to talk to him. But instead of
21:30
talking to the authorities, what did he do? He hid?
21:34
And if he had nothing to hide, then why was
21:36
he hiding? Why didn't he come out and just be
21:39
honest with everything and up front? Well, I'll tell you why,
21:44
because breaking news, Prince Andrew wasn't telling the truth. And
21:48
as I've said from the very beginning, I don't think
21:50
he's told the truth about anything. And I think that
21:53
as we get more information, more emails, more receipts, I
21:56
think that it's going to become undeniable that Prince Andrew
22:00
lied this whole entire time. And with all these new
22:03
receipts and the emails and the information coming forward, that's
22:07
no longer speculation in my opinion, It's documented fact. All right, folks,
22:13
that's gonna do it for this one. Now. As far
22:16
as the next couple of days, with it being the holiday,
22:19
I'm gonna still have episodes coming out, but we're gonna
22:21
be diving into some documents, and we're gonna be going
22:24
through some more records because I think it's super important
22:27
that we get those added to the catalog as well.
22:30
So over the next few days, expect more of that.
22:33
Like yesterday when we had the Grand Jury transcripts, there's
22:37
gonna be a lot more of that over the next
22:38
few days. And of course we're still going to be
22:40
diving into articles and I'll still have narratives about what
22:44
I'm thinking, but with so many documents coming out, I
22:47
want to make sure that we get some of the
22:48
more important ones added to the catalog. As for this episode,
22:53
all of the information that goes with it can be
22:55
found in the description box.
