  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 begin taking
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a look at the lawsuit filed by multiple Epstein survivors
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: against the United States of America. Case number 925-CV-80880 Jane
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Doe 1, Jane Doe 2, Jane Doe 3, Lauren Newman,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe 4, 5, 6, Sandra Ward, Jane Doe 7,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Jane Doe 32, versus the United States of America. Fourth
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: amended complaint, the nature of the acts. The American people
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: trust the FBI and the Department of Justice to protect them.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: That truth is all the more critical and justified when
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the FBI and Department of Justice receive tips that women
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and children are being sexually abused, trafficked, or the subject
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: of child pornography. In fact, those acts, all of which
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: are criminal, are so grave that the FBI and Department
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: of Justice have mandatory rules which require action when they
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: receive such tips. In those circumstances, the FBI, Department of Justice,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: are often the only law enforcement agency in the U.S.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: that can properly investigate and prosecute such crimes. Sadly, never
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: has the FBI nor Department of Justice violated its own
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: mandatory rules or the American People's Trust more despicably than
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: how they handled reports of Jeffrey Epstein's sex crimes. For decades,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein raped, trafficking, molested, and abused children, including plaintiffs.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Several victims, banks, and other law enforcement agencies told the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: FBI that Epstein was abusing and trafficking children. Those victims, banks,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and law enforcement agencies relied on the FBI to investigate Epstein.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: For decades, the FBI had mandatory policies and procedures, some
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: of which are found in the Manual of Investigative Operations
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and Guidelines, or MIOG, which existed as early as the 70s.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: The FBI must conduct preliminary inquiries and investigations to prevent, detect,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: prosecute federal law violations. Preliminary inquiries and investigations governed by
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: these guidelines are conducted for the purpose of preventing, detecting,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: or prosecuting violations of federal law. Per the 1991 MIOG,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: the FBI prioritized the investigation of sex crimes against children.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: The FBI also... has had a mandatory policy and procedure
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: arising from the Innocent Images National Initiative from 1995. The
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: FBI also has had a mandatory policy and procedure in
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the MIOG, including those arising from Innocent Image National Initiative
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and elsewhere, requiring them to investigate allegations of child sexual abuse, trafficking,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and possession of CSAM. For decades, the FBI repeatedly violated
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: those policies. For instance, in 1996, Maria Farmer told the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: FBI that Epstein was abusing and trafficking children, and that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: he was in the possession of CSAM. The FBI's own
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: document showed that no action was taken on that tip. Further,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: in 2005, a report was made to the FBI about
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Epstein's sex abuse and sex trafficking of plaintiff Audra Christensen.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: No action was taken on that tip either. If the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: FBI had followed its procedure... and investigated Ms. Farmer and Ms.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Christensen's allegations, or the many that followed, Epstein would not
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: have abused and trafficked countless other women and children, including plaintiffs.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: The FBI failed to comply with the MIOG regarding Ms.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Farmer and Ms. Christensen's reports. In particular, the FBI failed
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: to conduct a thorough investigation of federal law violations concerning
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the interstate transportation of obscene matters and the sexual exploitation
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: of children. failed to carry those matters to a logical conclusion,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and failed to exhaust all logical leads to ensure that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: no legitimate law enforcement interest justified their involvement. The FBI
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: also failed to conduct proper prelim inquiry to prevent, detect,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and prosecute multiple federal law violations. These MIOG rules were
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: not discretionary. They were mandatory, and the FBI clearly violated
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: them in its handling of Jeffrey Epstein. The complaints and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: tips of Ms. Farmer and Ms. Christensen merely scratched the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: surface of the numerous ways the FBI and Department of
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Justice learned definitively that Jeffrey Epstein was committing heinous sex
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: crimes against women and children, including other victims and banks. Unfortunately,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the FBI and the Department of Justice ignored that critical
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: information despite obligations to act. This action seeks justice. for
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the countless survivors who were needlessly sex-trafficked and abused by Epstein.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: This action also seeks to hold the FBI and Department
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: of Justice accountable for its grave breach of the American
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: People's Trust jurisdiction, venue, and timelines. This court has jurisdiction
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: over all Jane Does, and they'll proceed herein under the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Federal Tort Claims Act. This action, in part, arises under
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the Federal Tort Claims Act The court is vested with
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: jurisdiction pursuant to U.S. Code 28, Section 1346B, as this
• 5:49

• 6:08
  Speaker 1: where the United States, if a private person, would be
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: liable to the claimant, in accordance with the law, of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the place where the act or omission occurred. If the defendant,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: United States of America, were a private individual, based on
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the facts alleged herein, it would be liable to plaintiffs
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: in accordance with the laws of Florida. The defendant owed
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: duty to plaintiffs, breached that duty, and caused injury to plaintiffs.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Pursuant to U.S. Code 42 Section 233 G1A, At all

• 6:41
  Speaker 1: exclusive remedy for injuries caused by all agents, servants, and
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: or employees of the FBI and DOJ. The claims set
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: forth herein were presented to the FBI via proper notice
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: by mailing a Standard Form 95 to the FBI on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: behalf of each plaintiff as required by 28 CFR 14-2.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Each of those claims has been denied by the FBI. Therefore,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: all conditions precedent to a plaintiff's filing this action have
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: been satisfied. The courts also have supplemental jurisdiction of the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: state law claims recounted below pursuant to U.S. Code 28
• 7:19

• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Florida is where the negligence continually occurred, where the FBI
• 7:48

• 8:09
  Speaker 1: regarding defendant's culpability, which is the predicate for plaintiff's timely
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: claims against defendant, has been willfully hidden from plaintiffs by
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: defendant for years. In fact, defendant is so persistent in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: its willful suppression of such information, Congress passed a bill,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: which the President signed into law, to force defendant to
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: disclose such information. The information regarding defendant's culpability is has
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: only been recently and partially revealed to plaintiffs and the public.
• 8:38
