Hugh Hefner, Jeffrey Epstein and the Warning the FBI Allegedly Ignored (8/14/26) · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. One of the favorite narratives from the DOJ
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and people that like to downplay Jeffrey Epstein is that
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: nobody knew what he was up to and that all
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the smartest people in the world quote unquote just happened
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to be blind about what Jeffrey Epstein really was. However,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: that doesn't really track when you compare it against the record,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: especially considering when we know that Maria all the way
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: back in the nineties ninety five ninety six reported Jeffrey
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Epstein to multiple law enforcement sources, and as we continue
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: to learn the story over the years, we've heard that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: from many different people. And now we're hearing a story
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: about Hugh Hefner. Yeah, that Hugh Efner and how he
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: called the FBI on Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein allegedly assaulted
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a playboy playmate. So you got a guy like Hugh
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Hefner calling you, and you're the FBI telling you someone's degenerate.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Probably a conversation you should have. I mean, if anybody
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: knows about degeneracy, it's the guy that walks around in
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: his pajamas cracking a bunch of young chicks every day, right,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I would say that Hugh Hefner might have
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: been somebody you might want to talk to. Probably a
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: good idea. But of course the FBI had no interest
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in stopping Jeffrey Epstein. And why is that? Well, why
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: would they want to stop their own asset. Today's article
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: is from News Nation and the headline Hugh Hefner reported
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein the FBI for alleged rape of playboy playmate.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Hell of a guy. That Jeffrey Epstein folks, hell of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a guy. This article was authored by Diana fall Zony.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Hugh Hefner reportedly notified the FBI that a playboy playmate
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was sexually abused and trafficked by disgraced financier you mean,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and others in his orbit. Wait a minute,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I was told that Jeffrey Epstein was just a loane
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: predator and that nobody else was involved. Could it be
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: that we were bullshitted? Could it be that we're being
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: lied to? Come on, that's never happened before. The federal
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Government's always on the up and up with the American people.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Right right. Court records state that Hefner was told by
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: then Playboy playmate Audra Christensen in two thousand and five
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: that she was an Epstein survivor and requested the Playboy
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: founder call the FBI, arguing he would have more status
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: than her with the authorities. You would think. I mean,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I know if I was in the FBI and Hugh
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Hefner called me and was like, Hey, this dude is
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a degenerate. He's out here assaulting women and abusing people.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, we have the Warren Buffett of degeneracy over here.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Hugh Hefner telling everybody that Jeffrey Epstein is an abuser
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: and nobody's paying attention. That has to be by design.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but it has to be. How many times
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: can you miss it? How many times can you overlook
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the story when so many people are telling you what's
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: going on. Hefner allegedly called the FBI several times with
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: the tip, who didn't investigate the claim for fifteen years,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: according to court documents, fifteen years plenty of time to
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: cover it up, plenty of time for evidence to walk away,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: plenty of time for people to pass away, and plenty
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of time for them to hope you forget. In a
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: legal complaint filed by thirty four Epstein's survivors against the
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: United States filed in the Southern District of Florida, Christiansen's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: alleged abuse is detailed. The complaint was reported by Miami
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Herald reporter Julie K. Brown in her Substack column. The
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: court document said in part that the FBI would assist
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Christiansen and follow up on her claims, but the agency
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: didn't reach out to her until October of twenty twenty,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: when Epstein was already burned. Epstein was burned as an
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: asset the second that second arrest happened. People need to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: understand how this works, and when you're no longer useful,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: you're done for. And by the time he was burned
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: as an asset, they had already cleaned up all the crumbs.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about the FBI or the DJ
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: as I've told you the crumbs, that's what the DOJ had.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: The cake, Well, the cake is at Langley. And if
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: you're wondering why they're so adamant that Jeffrey Epstein had
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: no ties to intelligence anywhere in the world, that's why
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: they don't want to have to give up the documents
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: from the CIA or the NSA or whatever scumbag organization
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: was running them. That's the last thing they want to do,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: because then you'd be hip to it, and then you'd
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: want accountability, and god forbid, we have that. For about
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fifteen years, the FBI did not investigate Miss Christiansen's tip
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: or follow up on our allegations. The core document said,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and over and over and over again. Look, a couple
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of times you can say, all right, it was a mistake.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: We should have followed those leads. But X, Y, and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Z happened. But we never even got that. We were
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: told that this was all investigated, every single door was
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: kicked in, every bush was shaken, and nothing turned up. Meanwhile,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the reality is something completely different. Every time we turn around,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: there's another piece of evidence. So what are they even
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: talking about? That nobody else is accountable, that nobody else
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: was around, that nobody else knew. The FBI exhibit stated
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: that Christiansen said, shortly after meeting Epstein, before she knew it,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: she was naked and raped by Epstein and then trafficked
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: for ten years. Well that tracks one hundred percent. I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: haven't seen any of the paperwork the documentation, but it
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: tracks with everything we know. So why would this lady
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: be lying and why would she lie in two thousand
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: and five before it was a thing, right before Epstein
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: was somebody that anybody even really knew about as far
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: as on the public stage. So we have to make
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: sure we keep things in context, make sure we're looking
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: at the timeline correctly, because back then, in two thousand
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and five, there would be no motivation for her to
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: come out against Epstein, right what would be the motivation?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: So I certainly give that allegation credibility. The complaint alleges
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that the FBI did not investigate the model's claim, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: by not doing, violated mandatory policies and protocols requiring it
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to investigate claims like Miss Christiansen of child sex abuse
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and trafficking. And failing to investigate credible tips such as
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Miss Christiansen's allegations, the FBI created a foreseeable zone of
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: risk to future victims of Epstein sex trafficking enterprise, including plaintiffs.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's fair. They did. And remember there's a lawsuit right
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: now by Epstein's survivors filed against the FBI. And I
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: think that that lawsuit should follow the same track as
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: what happened with Naser. The FBI should be held accountable
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and they should have to pay out a settlement at
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the very least. Eric Fadouli, who represents several Epstein survivors,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: told NewsNation the latest reporting about the FBI ignoring complaints
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: about Epstein in two thousand and five are devastating but
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: not surprising. Law enforcement has felled Epstein's survivors for decades
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and continues to do so today at the highest level.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Where's the lie, where's the bullshit? All of that's true.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Imagine being one of these women waking up every day
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and knowing somebody like Todd Baby Blanche is in charge
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of getting justice for you. Not exactly a comforting thought.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: The FBI is trying to dismiss the case filed by
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: the thirty four Epstein survivors, arguing they were too late
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to file since the cases were between nineteen ninety six
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and twenty seventeen. What a disgusting, disgusting defense. They should
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: be embarrassed. They won't be, but they should be. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: remember this is the same FBI that if you lie
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to them, you'll go to jail. But God forbid they
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: tell us the truth. You know, the people that actually
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: pay the bills, they might want to rethink the way
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: they're going about this, because at some point, the American
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: people they're gonna have enough. And once that point comes,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be big, sweeping changes. Now, I don't know
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: when that day is gonna come, but eventually it's going
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to arrive, and when it does, there's gonna be a reckoning.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Plaintiffs each had two years from the date of their
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: respective injuries to file an administrative claim with the appropriate
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: federal agency. The motion to dismissread. Hefner himself faced allegations
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of systematic manipulation and sexual misconduct. A docu series in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two made claims equal worst in drug women
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: into sex at the Playboy Mansion. Look, I wouldn't doubt
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: that either. Okay, when you have that much degenerous going
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: on on a regular basis, there's gonna be some behavior
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that is out of line. And my guess is I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: can't confirm this, obviously, but people have said this, that
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: that was happening at the Playboy Mansion. And remember we're
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: talking about a different time seventies, eighties, nineties, early two thousands,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: different time, and people were behaving a whole different way,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and they were moving funny. And when you're talking about
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: people like Epstein or Hugh Hefner, this was pretty much
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: par for the course. You got some weird, eccentric, degenerate,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you know, pervert, and due to the fact that they
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have some money and some power, they're able to, you know,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: bring people into their orbit. And when it comes to Epstein,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: he did that with coercion. No women were lining up
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to go visit Jeffrey Epstein if he had no money,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: forget it. Jeffrey Epstein was so successful because he had
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: so much money, so much power, and was connected. That's
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: why he was successful doing what he did for so long.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: The publication issued an open letter after the allegations were made,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: claiming Today's Playboy is not Hugh Hefner's Playboy. A lawsuit
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen accused Hefner of enabling comedian Bill Cosby
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: this sectually abuse a model at the mansion. The FBI,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Hefner's representative, and Christiansen did not respond to a request
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for comment at the time of publication. So, look, I
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: think the moral of the story here is that Anyone
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: saying that nobody knew what Epstein was, even all the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: way back in two thousand and five, is crazy, because
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the truth is all these people knew exactly what Jeffrey
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Epstein was, they just didn't care. All the information that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
