Mega Edition: The Epstein Files And The Golden Nuggets Contained Within Them (4/30/26) · 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 that the Justice Department has released three
0:08
million more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein and the Epstein Files,
0:13
the journey through those files to see what they reveal
0:16
has begun. And while there's obviously way too many files
0:20
to go through in one day, there have been a
0:22
lot of people diving in and there certainly have been
0:25
some very interesting finds. And in this episode, we're going
0:29
to dive in and take a look at some of
0:31
the things that have been discovered. And to do that,
0:35
we have an article from CNN headline What's inside the
0:40
latest Epstein files released by the Justice Department. This article
0:45
was authored by CNN staff. The Justice Department on Friday
0:49
released more than three million pages of files related to
0:53
the investigation into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein after Congress
0:58
passed the law last year, seeing the Trump administration to
1:01
do so. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said at a
1:05
news conference the Justice Department has now completed its review
1:09
of the files and that the White House had no
1:12
oversight on the process. Sure they didn't. Does anyone really
1:16
believe that Donald Trump of all people had no oversight
1:21
over this process. They really think that everybody out here
1:24
is as stupid as Sean Hannity or a cat turd.
1:29
The documents released Friday contained references to President Donald Trump
1:33
and other powerful figures, including Elon Musk, Bill Clinton, and
1:37
a former Obama White House Council. CNN reporters have been
1:42
going through the documents and you can read the highlights below.
1:46
And obviously we're just going to use this as a canvas.
1:49
I'm doing my own investigation as we speak. But as
1:52
you all know, I'm not about speed. I'll let other
1:55
people rush to be first. I'm more interested in being
1:59
as z accuate it is possible, So that takes some time.
2:02
We have to go through, we have to make sure
2:04
everything is what it is, and we have to make
2:06
sure we're not engaging in any stupid ass side quests,
2:10
because that's what they're hoping for. They're hoping that people
2:13
latch on to the most salacious information and run with
2:16
it because they don't want people really digging into the
2:21
verifiable fuck up of the institutions. So of course it's
2:25
important to follow along with what's going on when it
2:27
comes to the salacious stories but don't lose sight of
2:30
the endgame. And the endgame is exposing the institutional corruption
2:35
that allowed all of this to occur. Trump's doj canpile
2:40
the list in twenty twenty five of tips that made
2:43
allegations against Trump, Well, that's a big shock, huh. Donald
2:49
Trump didn't want to be embarrassed by his relationship with
2:51
Jeffrey Epstein. That is one of the biggest shocks in
2:54
the history of shocks, said nobody ever. Officials that the
2:58
FBI can pile the lists of sexual assault allegations related
3:02
to President Donald Trump this past August, many of which
3:05
appear to have come from unverified tips, and the list
3:09
was included as part of the millions of documents in
3:12
the new Jeffrey Epstein files released by the Justice Department
3:16
on Friday. And this is what I'm talking about with
3:19
salacious side quests. They want you to focus on the
3:23
most salacious, unverifiable elements of this whole, entire, sordid ordeal.
3:28
The more people that are caught up in that swamp
3:32
means the less people that are actually digging into the
3:34
nuts and bolts about who made all of this work,
3:37
who let it all happen, and While everybody's going crazy
3:41
about the salacious stories, I'm over here wondering why there's
3:45
all these redactions still protecting co conspirators and the people
3:49
that were involved in the investigation. That's not what the
3:52
law calls for. Transparency means transparency as far as the
3:56
people who were making the decisions as well, And I
3:59
think that that's a part of this that people are missing,
4:02
the people that were involved in this on the ground level,
4:05
the people that were making the decisions, the people that
4:07
decided not to pursue the co conspirators, the people that
4:11
decided to give them the NPA. All of that should
4:14
be outed. That's what the law calls for, and that's
4:17
the only way we're ever going to get any kind
4:19
of accountability. But we're just going to blame the whole
4:23
institution and we're not going to hold anybody accountable for
4:26
making those decisions. And that's what they're really terrified of.
4:29
They're terrified of us holding the whole entire institution accountable.
4:34
It's not clear why the FBI officials created the list
4:37
of allegations related to Trump last year. The document included
4:41
in emails that were sent by officials in the FBI's
4:44
New York Field office on the Child Exploitation and Human
4:48
Trafficking Task Force. Trump has long denied any wrongdoing related
4:52
to Epstein. So look, I would be very cautious of
4:56
unverified tips, and not because I'm saying that they're not true,
5:01
But I don't know who put the tips in there.
5:04
Did the Trump administration put those tips in there to
5:06
throw people off the scent, to make it look like
5:08
everybody's going after Trump, like everybody's crazy. Possible? Do I
5:14
think that happened. I don't know. Again, I don't put
5:17
anything past this Justice Department, and that's because they've shown
5:21
us their ass right. They've shown us exactly what they are.
5:25
And you better believe on paying attention. When somebody tells
5:29
me who they are and then they show me what
5:31
they are, well, I believe them. There are more than
5:36
a dozen allegations included in the document. Yellow highlighting is
5:41
for the slacious Peace One Official Rights to explain how
5:44
the allegations were being sorted. Two versions of the document
5:48
appeared to have been removed from the Justice Department's website
5:51
for a time Friday afternoon, before they were restored without
5:55
any apparent changes. A DOJ official said the document was
5:59
down due to overload and was back online. You know
6:03
what's crazy. I found about ten documents so far that
6:08
have just about all the names of the girls from Florida.
6:12
Can you imagine they spend all this time, all this
6:15
tax payer money, and they're still not getting the right
6:18
names redacted, and they're still redacting names that shouldn't be redacted.
6:22
And make no mistake about it, the idea of dumping
6:25
three million documents at once is to confuse people. They're
6:29
hoping that people are just going to be like, no way,
6:31
I can't dive into all of that, But I think
6:34
that they've underestimated how many people are using weaponized autism
6:38
when they're diving through these files. You have some people
6:41
out here that are looking for anything and everything that
6:44
might be used as the gotcha moment. And look, that's great.
6:48
The more people that are looking at the files, the better.
6:52
But for me, there's a lot more here than just
6:55
a gotcha moment, and it has to do with receipts
6:58
and backing up the things we've talking about for years.
7:02
It's vindication, right, how many people told you you were crazy?
7:06
How many people told you that these rich disgusting fuck
7:09
bags in the financial sector weren't doing what they were doing,
7:13
And now that it's becoming a reality, there are so
7:17
many people out here that are just so shocked by it.
7:20
But not you, folks. You knew all of this years ago,
7:24
and now these chickens are coming home to roost, and
7:26
all the people that ignored this as they chased other
7:29
salacious nonsense are now getting hit directly in the face
7:32
with the fact that they look the other way while
7:35
Jeffrey Epstein and his buddies were trafficking and abusing children.
7:40
The allegations appear to be unverified, and the officials note
7:43
that some are secondhand information. They appear to have been
7:47
allegations that were received through the FBI's National Threat Operation Center,
7:52
which takes tips by phone and electronically. The document notes
7:56
that in many instances there was no contact made with
7:59
the end of who sent in the allegation, or no
8:02
contact information was provided. Well, that's just bad work. Now.
8:08
If there's no contact information provided, obviously you can follow up.
8:12
But if there's contact information and somebody is making an
8:15
allegation like this, you don't follow up on it? Why not?
8:20
I mean, look the deeper we get in. The further
8:23
we move, the more it looks like a cover up
8:25
in action, a cover up in real time, and a
8:28
cover up that started during Trump's first administration. Some of
8:31
the allegations were followed up on. One was sent to
8:34
the FBI's Washington Field office to conduct an interview, and
8:38
another was deemed not credible. According to the document, was
8:42
there anything in the file follow up with the blow
8:45
individuals three to zero two's, et cetera one official rights?
8:49
Now look, as long as it was followed up on
8:51
and deemed not credible, I'm okay with that. None of
8:56
these should ever be ignored, though at the very least
8:58
there should be a follow what phone call from an
9:01
FBI agent. There are also allegations made in the document
9:05
against former President Bill Clinton, who has denied wrongdoing related
9:09
to Epstein asked for comment on the allegations against Trump
9:13
in the documents, the White House referred to a reporter
9:15
to the Justice Department press release, which says this production
9:19
may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos,
9:24
as everything that was sent to the FBI by the
9:27
public was included in the production that is responsive to
9:31
the Act. Now listen, you notice they include all of
9:33
this right because they want to make it look crazy.
9:36
You know what they didn't include though, the three to
9:38
zero two s, the proffers, the interviews, all of that
9:41
information has not been included, and in my opinion, that's
9:45
all by design, every last bit of it. Some of
9:49
the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump
9:54
that were submitted to the FBI right before the twenty
9:57
twenty election. To be clear, the claims are unfound and
10:00
false and if they have a shred of credibility, they
10:04
certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already. Yo.
10:08
That's like the going narrative for MAGA, and it's dumb
10:10
as fuck. Not that I'm shocked coming from the q
10:13
A non group, but it's stupid as hell. You ever
10:17
hear a mutually assured destruction? Folks? And have you been
10:20
paying attention to who's really in charge? Breaking news? It's
10:23
not the Democrats or the Republicans, it's the financial sector. Okay,
10:29
that's who's in charge. Wake the fuck up. I'm starting
10:32
to get agitated, honestly with how many people that just
10:35
don't understand what they're even talking about. If you don't
10:40
know what you're talking about, and you have no idea
10:42
what's going on. Here's an idea, shut your yap and
10:46
listen for a little while. But instead all these people
10:49
run out with their dumbass narratives and make themselves look
10:53
honestly not only foolish, but like they're protecting pedalphiles. And
10:59
it's so pathie to think that the people that ran
11:02
around for so long yelling about Isaac Cappy, yelling about
11:06
pizza conspiracies, yelling about hot dogs, yelling about Wayfair, yelling
11:11
about Tom Hanks and adreno chrome on islands and how
11:15
people are in Guantanamo Bay, Well, now they're confronted with
11:19
real evil. They're confronted with real child abusers, real trafficking,
11:24
and they want to make pretend it's a hoax, or
11:26
that it's all overblown, or it's all being weaponized against Trump.
11:30
It's so dumb, so stupid, and people running around with
11:35
that narrative, you can just tell that they're an NPC, right,
11:38
somebody that watches Fox News, somebody that listens to cat Turd,
11:42
somebody that has no fucking idea what they're talking about.
11:47
And if that offends you, I'm sorry, but get some
11:50
mac right. Diagram shows parts of Epstein's in her circle,
11:55
but were das some close associates. Now, why would you
11:58
do that? Why would you redact anybody unless you're trying
12:02
to protect them. The Justice Department laid out a list
12:06
of Jeffrey Epstein's potential co conspirators as part of its
12:09
investigation into Ebstein, but documents released Friday redacted several figures
12:15
who were part of his inner circle. The undated diagram
12:19
shows the names and photos of several known close associates
12:23
of Epstein, including convicted co conspirator Glenne Maxwell and Jean
12:28
Luke Brunell, a model agent with longtime ties to Ebstein
12:31
who faced rape charges in France. Brunell died by suicide
12:35
in a French jail in twenty twenty two. And honestly,
12:39
the more I look into the Jean Luke Burnell situation,
12:42
the more it looks weird to me. How are you
12:46
going to explain all these deaths, all these suicides surrounding
12:51
one man. Now, the government they'll tell you that it's
12:55
all a coincidence. But I don't believe in coincidences, not
12:59
at the level we're talking about here. The other people
13:02
identified by the DOJ were known Epstein employees, none of
13:06
whom were charged in the investigation, though the document indicates
13:10
that the DOJ was investigating people close to the convicted
13:14
sex offender for potential involvement. Well, it was supposed to
13:18
be a rico case, but then they got told from
13:21
on high that that's not going to occur. Now, who
13:24
gave them that direction, I don't know, bar Trump, whoever?
13:27
Somebody did. The Justice Department redacted names and photos of
13:33
five other individuals, including Maxwell's assistant and for Epstein employees,
13:38
one of whom was listed as a girlfriend employee. Victims
13:42
and advocates have criticized the Justice Department for what they
13:46
argue are heavy but inconsistent redactions of names and details
13:50
in the millions of release files. Well, that might have
13:54
something to do with the fact that they, you know, lied,
13:58
the fact that they're not in compliance with the law.
14:02
Nobody said you're here to protect Jeffrey Epstein's buddies or
14:05
co conspirators. All the redactions were supposed to protect survivors,
14:11
nobody else. But here we are with all these dumb
14:13
ass redactions and no answers to the questions The document
14:18
list other close associates, including Epstein's personal chef Pilots and
14:22
Peter Listerman, a model scout described in the file as
14:25
a subject witness and model matchmaker. It also lists Leslie Wexner,
14:30
the billionaire business magnate who employed Epstein as a money manager,
14:35
who has said he severed ties with Epstein in two
14:39
thousand and seven. And we all know that's BS two.
14:42
That was all built in, That was all part of
14:45
the cover story of Epstein, was ever kneld. Oh, I'll
14:47
just say that you stole money from me, and that
14:50
will you know, give us our split, That'll give us
14:52
our cover. And maybe that's just the cynic in me.
14:56
But I don't believe for a second that less Wexner
14:58
and Jeffrey Epstein had a fall. Draft indictment from two
15:04
thousands included alleged co conspirators. The latest batch of documents
15:08
indicates that at least at one point, prosecutors felt they
15:11
could charge more than just Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell
15:15
with crimes. A draft indictment from the Southern District of
15:18
Florida from the two thousands would have charged Epstein alongside
15:22
apparently three others who are described as having been employed
15:26
by Epstein. They are mostly described as facilitating appointments between
15:30
Epstein and girls, but their names are adapted. The document
15:34
which followers of the case had been hoping to see
15:37
describes all of them as having conspired to persuade, induce,
15:41
and entice individuals who have not attained the age of
15:44
eighteen years to engage in prostitution. It's not the much
15:49
rumored client list that many have hoped to see, but
15:52
that the Justice Department has denied exists, but is likely
15:56
to lead to questions about who these people are and
15:59
why they weren't ultimately charged. We all know who they are.
16:02
Come on, Leslie Groff, Adriana Ross, Sarah Kelln Vickers, Nadia Maarsenkova.
16:10
The only people who don't know that are the people
16:12
who have not been following along Epstein's sweetheart deal to
16:16
avoid much more serious charges. In the late two thousands,
16:20
he pleaded guilty to prostitution related charges. Is a major
16:23
piece of this scandal. Yes, yes it is. The NPA
16:28
and the whole entire deal should be done away with,
16:31
and it's not even a discussion. Honestly drafted unsigned indictment
16:36
included details of alleged abuse of miners, a threat, and
16:40
three co conspirators. A draft indictment that was never brought
16:44
against Jeffrey Epstein alleged that from two thousand and one
16:47
to two thousand and five, Epstein and three unnamed defendants
16:51
engaged in a conspiracy to procure females under the age
16:55
of eighteen to engage and elude conduct for money to
16:58
satisfy Jeffrey Epsteins interests. Instead of bringing the sixty count
17:04
indictment against the four people, federal prosecutors in two thousand
17:07
and seven reached a non prosecution agreement with Epstein, who
17:11
avoided federal charges and served thirteen months in state prison
17:15
overstate prostitution charges. In a twenty twenty review, the Justice
17:20
Department found that former US Attorney for the Southern District
17:24
of Florida, Alex Acosta, had used poor judgment in the deal,
17:27
but did not find that Acosta had engaged in professional misconduct.
17:32
Sure sounded to me from the interview with OIG that
17:36
they weren't buying Acosta's shit. So the question is, once again,
17:41
who was in control of that report, And unfortunately the
17:45
answer is the DOJ now of course, the Inspector General
17:49
will say that they have the ability to do whatever
17:51
they have to do without any jurisdiction or oversight from
17:54
the DOJ. But that's not true. And that's why I've
17:57
said from the jump that the OIG report is but garbage.
18:01
The whole entire idea was to put a little sheen
18:04
on it right, make it look good so they could
18:07
sell it. Meanwhile, they knew that the engine was fucked up,
18:10
they knew that it didn't run right, but it looks good.
18:14
According to the draft indictment, the unnamed code conspirators would
18:17
call the girls to travel to Palm Beach, Florida for Epstein,
18:20
who would then use and pay the girls. The document
18:23
also says that at least one of the girls would
18:26
also engage in lude conduct with one of the unnamed
18:29
code defendants for Epstein. The nineteen girls mentioned in the
18:33
document all under Jane. Those pseudonyms range in ages, including
18:38
some as young as fourteen, and would be paid several
18:40
hundred dollars and sometimes be used to solicit other friends,
18:45
who would be asked if they were interested in engaging
18:48
in similar activities, not sometimes all the time. That was
18:52
one of the biggest components, because that made everybody else complicit,
18:56
at least in Epstein's mind. Well, if I get these
18:58
girls to be part of my Onzie scheme, then they're
19:01
going to look bad if they ever out me, because
19:03
they were involved in bringing girls to me. That's how
19:06
devious this fucking dude was. And I think people need
19:09
to understand that Jeffrey Epstein was thinking five steps ahead
19:13
all the time. And if you don't think his lawyers
19:16
laid out the plan, you're crazy. They did. They gave
19:19
him the template and he ran with it. One unidentified defendant,
19:24
according to the document, was often tasked with leading the
19:27
women from Epstein's kitchen to his master bedroom in Palm Beach,
19:31
where Epstein was waiting. The document is not signed by
19:34
a grand jury four person, and in the place for
19:37
Acosta signature is a blank unsigned space. Epstein victim told
19:44
FBI Maxwell once presented her to Trump and made clear
19:48
that she was available. One of Jeffrey Epstein's victims told
19:52
the FBI that is longtime associate Glenn Maxwell once presented
19:56
her to Donald Trump at a party and suggested that
20:00
she was available. According to an internal FBI memo released
20:03
on Friday, that shouldn't shock anybody. These two were tight
20:08
as could be, and they were both into the same shit.
20:12
Now I'm not saying that Trump was engaging in any
20:15
of the abuse. I don't know, but we have to
20:18
look at all of this information soberly, right, and we
20:21
have to look at it with wide open eyes. The
20:27
FBI memo is from mid twenty twenty one, a few
20:30
months before Maxwell was convicted on federal sex trafficking charges.
20:34
According to the memo, the witness set ultimately nothing happened
20:37
between her and Trump, who has never been accused by
20:40
investigators of involvement in Epstein or Maxwell's crimes. The victim
20:46
said Maxwell brought her to a party in New York
20:48
when she was about twenty two years old, though it
20:51
was unclear what year this took place. Maxwell seemed very
20:55
excited that there would be a lot of great men
20:58
for the victim to meet. According to the interview notes,
21:01
the victim said that during the party, Maxwell presented her
21:05
to Trump, and that the victim felt that Maxwell presented
21:08
her by giving a rundown of her accolades, similar to
21:11
a CV. The memo said that Trump invited the woman
21:16
to his Marlago club in Florida. She subsequently went on
21:19
a tour there with the future president Maxwell and Epstein,
21:24
and by the things that Maxwell said, it was made
21:27
clear that she was available. The memo said, Maxwell said
21:32
things such as, Oh, I think he likes you. Aren't
21:34
you lucky? According to the FBI memo, and also encouraged
21:38
the victim to wear clothes that she thought Trump would like.
21:43
It was set up very much like how Maxwell introduced
21:46
her to Epstein, the memo said. FBI memos like these,
21:51
known as three O two's, memorialized tips and allegations from witnesses,
21:56
but they do not typically contain information about whether the
21:59
FBI could corroborate the information. In response to questions about
22:04
the FBI memo, the White House referred CNN to a
22:08
Justice Department statement that said, the millions of documents in
22:11
Friday's batch of Epstein files may include fake or falsely
22:15
submitted images, documents, or videos because everything that was sent
22:19
to the FBI by the public was included in the
22:22
public release. Trump has previously denied any wrongdoing with respect
22:27
to Epstein. All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up episode
22:30
one right here, and in the next episode, we're gonna
22:33
pick up where we left off. All of the information
22:36
that goes with this episode can be found in the
22:39
description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode
22:43
of the Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're picking up
22:46
where we left off with that CNN article talking about
22:50
some of the things that were found in this new dum.
22:54
Once again, this article was authored by CNN staff. The
22:59
files include details of a nineteen ninety four rape allegation
23:03
against Trump from Jane Doe, who dropped previous lawsuits. The
23:07
Justice Department's newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein on
23:11
Friday include an FBI form that details the complaint from
23:15
a woman who accused Donald Trump of raping her when
23:18
she was thirteen years old. This anonymous accuser previously launched
23:23
lawsuits against Trump and dropped them, the last one right
23:26
before the twenty sixteen election. The FBI document details multiple
23:31
instances of alleged abuse of Jane Doe by Trump, including rape.
23:36
It also says that Epstein was allegedly angry that Trump
23:40
was the one to take those virginity and also rape Doe.
23:45
These descriptions mirror the allegations that Jane Doe made in
23:48
her twenty sixteen lawsuit. Now, look, there's a lot of
23:52
discussion about this lawsuit and about whether it's true or not,
23:57
and all I can say is I don't know. But
23:59
one thing I'll say you have to be cautious about
24:02
is whenever you're dealing with a political minefield, you have
24:05
to be very very cautious about allegations against anybody, because
24:09
you know that whenever there's a situation like this, there's
24:12
going to be false allegations. We saw it here, we
24:15
saw it with Diddy, and we'll see it time and
24:17
time again. Now, with that being said, that doesn't mean
24:20
that this allegation isn't real, that it didn't happen. Again,
24:23
I don't know, but I think it's very important to
24:25
make sure that we go into all of this with
24:27
our eyes wide open and understanding that not everything's going
24:31
to be true or real. And that's all part of
24:34
the sy op, right, that's all part of the confusion.
24:38
It's up to us to dig through the bs and
24:41
find the gold. Trump had previously denied the woman's allegations,
24:45
and the Justice Department is said of the documents, this
24:49
production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents, or videos,
24:54
as everything that was sent to the FBI by the
24:56
public was included in the production that is responsive to
25:00
the act. Jane Doe was expected to appear at a
25:03
news conference in la in November of twenty sixteen, but
25:07
the event was abruptly canceled. Her lawyer at the time,
25:10
Lisa Bloom, said her client was too afraid to show up. Now, look,
25:14
I'm not a fan of Lisa Bloom, as you all know.
25:17
But does that mean that this isn't true? It doesn't.
25:21
And does that mean that this young lady wasn't threatened?
25:23
It doesn't. Very possibly she was, And then, of course
25:27
we have to keep in mind the other side. Could
25:30
this have been some kind of operation to try and
25:32
get Trump. That's possible. There's a lot of people out
25:35
there that don't give a shit about anything, but they're
25:39
politics and if that means using Epstein's survivors and this
25:42
disgusting story as a prop, that's what they're gonna do.
25:47
Asked by CNN for comment on Friday, Bloom said she
25:50
was no longer the woman's attorney and declined to comment.
25:53
So I'll leave that up to you to decide. I'm
25:56
not gonna sit here and try and convince you one
25:57
wire or the other. We've read the court documents here,
26:01
You've heard the stories. Now's up to you to decide.
26:04
I thought you said not to involve Donald, Epstein told
26:07
an email. In newly released email chain shows Jeffrey Epstein
26:12
and someone who appears to have been Glenne Maxwell strategizing
26:15
in twenty eleven about how to deal with new allegations
26:19
from a woman who claimed she had worked at Trump's
26:22
mar A Lago. Epstein's first email a former executive with
26:27
Trump's resort Empire named Nicholas Reebis about the girl in
26:31
the new papers who had claimed to have worked at
26:34
mar A Lago in nineteen ninety eight at the age
26:36
of fifteen. What Epstein thought it was two thousand when
26:40
she was seventeen. Who would I go to verify? I
26:43
don't know how Donald would respond, Epstein wrote. Epstein forwarded
26:47
the message to G Max, who responds, I thought you
26:50
said not to involve Donald, And in my opinion, this
26:53
sort of stuff is much more damning for Donald Trump
26:56
because there's no gray area here. There were obvious in contact,
27:00
They were obviously friends, and they were obviously discussing, you know,
27:05
certain situations that I don't think you need to take
27:08
too big of a lap to know that the situation
27:10
you're discussing is that of bounds and is degenerate. But
27:15
time and time again we're told by the smartest people
27:17
in the room they had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein
27:20
was But the truth is they all knew and how.
27:23
The hard part, obviously is proving that. But you have
27:27
to be very, very naive and stupid to think that
27:29
these people, the smartest people in the world, the richest
27:32
people in the world, the most powerful people in the world,
27:35
had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was up to. While
27:39
the name of the accuser is redacted, the details matched
27:42
the account of Virginia Roberts, whom Trump said last year
27:45
he was aware Epstein had recruited from mar A Lago.
27:49
Roberts also made our allegations public around the time of
27:53
these emails in twenty eleven. One of the big subplots
27:57
involving Trump is what he knew and when about why
28:00
Epstein was recruiting the likes of Roberts. Trump has never
28:04
been accused by law enforcement of wrongdoing related to Epstein's crimes,
28:08
and he has denied any wrongdoing. You gotta love that
28:11
plausible deniability, right. Oh, I had no idea what was
28:13
going on at mar A Lago. What you mean the
28:16
guy who was having dinner with and flying on his
28:18
planes was taking girls from my establishment to abuse in traffic.
28:23
I had no idea. And the sad truth is there's
28:26
a lot of people that will just suck that up.
28:27
Oh yeah, he had no clue. Our guy, our leader,
28:31
our fearless leader. He had no idea. Meanwhile, he obviously did.
28:37
FBI notes from witness interviews mentioned Trump and Bannon. The
28:41
Justice Department posted dozens of key FBI memos called three
28:45
twos on Friday, an important part of the massive drop
28:48
of files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. These memos
28:52
contained the notes taken by FBI agents when they interview witnesses.
28:58
They memorialize what the witnesses to hold investigators. They don't
29:01
describe subsequent attempts to corroborate the information, But victims have
29:06
been eager to see what's in these files. Yeah, the
29:09
three zero twos are important because they give us a
29:12
guideline and a basis for who did what and when. Okay,
29:16
this was reported Why didn't you do anything about it?
29:19
You interviewed this person, why weren't they indicted? So those
29:24
are all the questions that need to be asked and answered.
29:27
But one of the problems is when you look at
29:29
the names that are on the emails of agents and
29:32
people involved, it's all redacted. So how do we know
29:35
what agent, what supervisor, what sack made the decision? And
29:40
once again, that's not how it's supposed to be. The
29:43
law calls for transparency and it calls for all those
29:46
people being outed as well. OH witness told the FBI
29:52
in June of twenty twenty about former Trump advisor Steve
29:55
Bannon's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, but was hesitant to discuss
29:59
the matter in detail because Bannon was friends with powerful people.
30:03
According to one of the memos, the identity of this
30:07
witness is redacted, as is nearly all of the four
30:10
page document, but the FBI agents marked down the witness
30:14
previously worked in the marijuana industry. Bannon has never been
30:19
accused by law enforcement of any Epstein related wrongdoing. CNN
30:23
has reached out to bannon spokesperson regarding the new FBI memo.
30:28
Another of the three oz twos contains notes from an
30:31
apparent FBI interview with Virginia Roberts, one of the most
30:34
outspoken Epstein's survivors, who died by suicide in April. The
30:40
interview occurred in July of twenty thirteen at the US
30:44
Consulate in Sydney, Australia, where Roberts lived at the time.
30:48
The partially redacted memo indicates that Roberts told investigators about
30:52
working as a teenager at President Donald Trump's Mar A
30:55
Lago club in South Florida, how she was recruited from
30:58
there to work for Epstein, and about how sexual abuse
31:01
she was later subjected to by a redacted person that
31:05
appears to be Epstein. Law enforcement has never accused Trump
31:09
of wrongdoing regarding Epstein. The White House has said Trump
31:12
kicked Epstein out of his club because he was being
31:15
a creep, and Trump has said they had a falling
31:18
out because he stole people that worked for me, such
31:20
as Roberts. Regarding Robert's time working at Trump's social club,
31:25
he previously claimed she had no complaints about us, none whatsoever.
31:30
That's where this guy's mind's at. She had no complaints
31:33
about us, none whatsoever. Not like you know, it's terrible
31:38
about what happened to Virginia. I'm sorry that that happened
31:40
to her. I feel terrible that that happened at my place,
31:45
and I'd love to step up and help out any
31:47
way I can to put the people who are responsible
31:50
behind bars. Did this dumb motherfucker do that? No? What
31:55
did he do? Shoved another big mac down his throat
31:58
and talk shit. Meanwhile, some of the three O twos
32:01
have been completely redacted, revealing nothing. An underage victim told
32:05
the FBI Epstein sexually abused her after she confided in
32:08
him about a prior molestation. That was his mo. This dirty,
32:13
rotten son of a bitch look for girls that had
32:15
broken lives, that had already been through it, and then
32:18
he abused them because he knew that nobody would listen
32:21
to them, that nobody would believe them. And now, all
32:24
these years later, well that's coming true, isn't it. How
32:27
many of these dumb focks are out here running around, Oh,
32:30
none of this happened. This is all fake. It's a
32:31
big hoax. Imagine being that pathetic, Imagine taking that stance
32:36
when all of this evidence is available to you. Jeffrey
32:40
Epstein sexually abused an underage girl who had confided in
32:44
him about previously being molested, she told the FBI in
32:47
a twenty twenty one interview. The disturbing allegation comes from
32:52
an FBI memo known as a three O two, which
32:55
describes a witness interview, but the document does not show
32:59
whether the FBI was able to corroborate the claims. Many
33:03
of the hundreds of survivors of Epstein's abuse have said
33:06
they were eager for documents like these to be made
33:09
public so their stories could be told and the depth
33:12
of Epstein's misdeeds could be fully revealed. The partially redacted
33:17
document says the girl told Epstein when she was around
33:20
fourteen years old that her childhood was shitty because she
33:23
had been molested. Epstein responded that he was sorry about that,
33:27
according to the interview notes. According to the notes, the
33:31
witness told investigators that she later gave on comfortable massages
33:35
to Epstein on multiple occasions where they were both naked.
33:39
She said Epstein sometimes touched her sexually against her wishes,
33:43
and she tried to rebuff them. The notes say the
33:47
victim felt degraded when she went to Epstein's home and
33:50
that she felt taken advantage of, but she said she
33:53
also felt happy because she had a bunch of money
33:55
from the paid massages. Well, yeah, when you come from
33:58
a broken home and you have no money, you know,
34:00
doh nothing, A few hundred bucks goes a long way.
34:03
And for those of you out there that have never
34:05
been poor, I can't explain it to you. You can't
34:09
explain that kind of poverty to people that have never
34:11
suffered it. But an extra two hundred bucks, three hundred bucks,
34:15
four hundred bucks, that's the difference between being thrown out
34:19
and being able to have a place to live. And
34:22
if you don't think these girls weren't helping out their
34:24
families with this money, some of them, you're crazy. They were.
34:28
But the whole entire point was Jeffrey Epstein looking for
34:31
girls from broken homes so he could abuse them and
34:34
then later on down the road, like I was saying previously,
34:37
if he got outed, say they were lying. And how
34:42
many people are going to believe some girl from a
34:43
broken home with a drug addiction over a guy like
34:46
Jeffrey Epstein. Emails showed that Musk who said last year
34:51
he refused offers to go to Epstein's island, tried coordinating
34:55
multiple trips. Well, that's a shock degenerate, asked Eli wanted
35:01
to go to Jeffrey Epstein's island after all that shit
35:03
he talked, after all the nonsense about oh well, Donald
35:07
Trump's in the files and what did I tell you? Then?
35:10
So is Elon Musk? What about those dinners? He went to.
35:13
Imagine sitting at a table with Jeffrey Epstein and I'm
35:16
punching the dude's lights out. There is no scenario on
35:20
any planet, in any universe where I'm not giving Epstein
35:24
the business. If I walk into a room and I
35:27
see that dumb fuck, grinning, Bro's gonna end up at
35:29
the dentist with all of his teeth in a bag,
35:33
and I'll be the happiest son of a bitch ever
35:34
sitting in a jail cell, because it'll be worth it.
35:37
But this bitch ass clown Elon Musk can't even muster
35:41
up the courage to confront this dude, but wants to
35:43
get on his stupid ass little Twitter and talk a
35:46
bunch of nonsense like he's a tough guy. Elon Musk
35:49
exchanged multiple emails with Jeffrey Epstein to coordinate trips to
35:52
one of Epstein's Caribbean islands. According to documents released by
35:56
the Justice Department on Friday, Musk had previous claimed that
36:00
he rebuffed attempts from Epstein to get him to visit
36:03
one of the two islands Epstein owned, Great Saint James
36:07
and Little Saint James in the US Virgin Islands. Little
36:10
Saint James was an epicenter of Epstein's decade long abuse
36:14
of girls and young women, but communication between the pair
36:18
release Friday revealed that Musk tried in twenty twelve and
36:22
twenty thirteen to coordinate trips, at one point asking Epstein
36:26
which day or night on the island would be the
36:28
wildest party? You sick degenerate? Did you do a tuoffer?
36:33
Go over to Diddy's white party afterwards? Maybe diddle somebody
36:37
over there elon the diddler. Musk, no wonder this dude
36:40
wants to go to Mars. Can't get far enough away
36:43
from these Epstein allegations, can you. It's not clear from
36:47
the emails whether Musk ultimately visited. On November twenty fourth,
36:51
twenty twelve, Epstein em l Musk how many people will
36:55
you be for the helly to the island. Musk responded
36:59
the next day would probably just be him and his
37:01
then wife. What day night will be the wildest party
37:05
on equal our island, Musk added. On December thirteenth, twenty thirteen,
37:10
Musk emailed Epstein will be in the BVII Saint Barts
37:14
over the holidays. Is there a good time to visit
37:17
twenty thirteen? By the way, Epstein was already a convicted offender,
37:21
but sure a bang on some more Elon and his
37:24
supporters about how you care about the children? You pathetic
37:27
fuck you know what, Let me just say it. Fuck
37:30
all these people, every last one of them. This is
37:33
a burn the Bridges moment, folks. And to all you
37:36
people out there that support Elon Musk and Donald Trump,
37:40
how can you even do that anymore? You know he's
37:42
been lying to you. He's been lying to you from
37:44
the very beginning, and he continues to lie to you now.
37:47
Epstein responded two days later and said the beginning of
37:50
the new year would be good, adding always space for you.
37:54
On Christmas Day. Epstein said in another email, the two
37:57
or three would be perfect. I will come and get
37:59
you Musk first responded that he would need to fly
38:02
back to la on the night of January. Tewond before
38:05
saying he could push his departure back a day. When
38:09
should we head to your island on the second mus
38:11
asked Epstein. Representatives for Musk did not immediately respond to
38:15
a request for comment about the new emails. The emails
38:19
show a level of communication between the pair that had
38:22
not been previously revealed. Musk tried to denigrate his opponents
38:27
by tying them to Epstein during their explosive feud last year.
38:32
Musk suggested that President Donald Trump had slowed the rollout
38:35
of the Epstein files because the President's name was in them.
38:39
That was part of the breakdown between the President and
38:42
a man who had been one of his closest advisers.
38:45
In September, after Musk's name was included in another batch
38:49
of files, he sought to distance himself from the convicted
38:52
sex offender. He sent in a post on x at
38:55
the time that Epstein tried to get me to his island.
38:58
I refused. The email show us something completely different. They
39:02
show us that Elon Musk, like the rest of these idiots,
39:05
is a fucking liar, and I don't know about you, folks,
39:07
but I've had my fill of the tough guy act,
39:11
all these mega influenced people, all these mega adjacent people
39:14
with their tough guy act. Yeah, you're real tough, aren't you.
39:17
Unless it has to do with Jeffrey Epstein and kids
39:20
getting abused, then there's gray area. Then there's nuance. Well,
39:24
I'm here to tell you there is no gray area.
39:26
There's no nuance. You sons of bitches, collaborated and conspired
39:31
with Jeffrey Epstein for years and then after the fact,
39:35
you engaged in an active cover up. And so, like
39:38
your hero Dan bon Gino likes to say, QT, time
39:41
is now over All right, folks, we're gonna wrap up
39:44
right here, and in the next episode dealing with the topic,
39:47
we're gonna pick up where we left off. All of
39:49
the information that goes with this episode can be found
39:53
in the description box. What's up, everyone, and welcome to
39:56
another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. This episode, we're diving
40:01
right back into that CNN article talking about some of
40:04
the new Epstein files and what they revealed. Once again,
40:09
this article is authored by CNN staff. New email shows
40:13
Epstein telling Larry Summers he doesn't understand how dumb Trump is.
40:18
Multiple emails released on Friday between Jeffrey Epstein and Larry Summers,
40:22
former US Treasury secretary and Harvard University president, showed the
40:27
two men gossiping about President Donald Trump during his first
40:31
presidential term. How guilty is Donald Summers asked in May
40:35
of twenty seventeen email, in which he went on to
40:38
discuss the idea that Russia helped Trump win in twenty sixteen,
40:43
which Summers deemed plausible but not certain. Trump is long
40:47
denied any complicity with Russia in that election. Epstein replied
40:53
that your world does not understand how dumb he really is.
40:57
In an earlier October two thousand and six sixteen email,
41:00
Summers asked Epstein, how plausible is the idea that Trump
41:04
is a real cocaine user? Epstein replied zero. In July
41:09
of twenty seventeen, Summers wrote to Epstein, I think your
41:12
friend is mentally ill. Epstein responded that the person is
41:17
not my friend, and I've told you that before. While
41:20
neither referenced trump I name, they went on to discuss
41:23
his foreign policy action and whether, as Summers said, he
41:27
was better than Hillary. Epstein defended his record, citing work
41:31
with Israel and India. In earlier release of documents showed
41:35
that Epstein and Summers corresponded for years after Epstein's initial conviction.
41:40
Summers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
41:43
He previously told CNN he is deeply ashamed of his
41:47
correspondence with Epstein. Summers took leave from teaching in Harvard
41:52
in November. Oh, it was a lot more than that,
41:55
a lot more than just corresponding. Larry Summers and Jeffrey
41:58
Epstein were tight, very tight. And one of the things
42:02
that a lot of people don't want to hear is
42:04
that Jeffrey Epstein was completely insulated by a lot of
42:08
power players in the Democratic Party, whether it was Bill Clinton,
42:11
Sandy Berger, or whether it was somebody like Larry Summers.
42:16
Epstein pleaded the fifth in twenty sixteen deposition for every
42:20
question related to Bill Clinton. After Epstein victim, Virginia Roberts,
42:24
filed a defamation lawsuit against Glane Maxwell in twenty fifteen,
42:29
Jeffrey Epstein sat for a deposition in the case, which
42:32
was first unsealed in twenty twenty four. In the deposition
42:36
from September of twenty sixteen, Epstein repeatedly invoked his Fifth
42:40
Amendment right not to self incriminate when asked more than
42:44
a dozen questions about his relationship with former President Bill
42:48
Clinton or the Clinton Foundation. And we all know why
42:52
he didn't want out his buddy, and we all know
42:56
how much money he dumped into Bill Clinton's stupid ass foundation.
43:01
Some examples of the questions asked Abstein were to please
43:05
describe all dinners you've ever had with Bill Clinton, and
43:09
please list every place you and Bill Clinton have ever
43:12
been together. Lawyers also asked Epstein repeatedly about whether Clinton
43:16
visited his private island and flew on his private plane.
43:20
They also repeatedly asked Ebstein whether he's heard of the
43:23
Clinton Foundation and for all his interactions with it. For
43:27
every question, Epstein responded fifth. A spokesperson for Clinton has
43:33
repeatedly said the former president cut ties with Epstein before
43:37
he was charged with soliciting prostitution in two thousand and
43:40
six and didn't know about his crimes. Clinton has also
43:44
denied ever visiting Epstein's island. I don't believe that for
43:47
a second. I'm not going to beat that dead horse,
43:50
but we've heard from Virginia and we also heard from
43:53
mister Scully who said that he saw Bill Clinton on
43:55
the island. So it's up to you who you want
43:58
to believe. Do you want to believe Virginia or do
44:00
you want to believe Bill Clinton. I know where I fall. Recently,
44:05
the Clintons were abuff to subpoena from the Republican Ledhouse
44:08
Oversight Committee to have them testify in a congressional probe
44:11
related to Epstein. The House voted to hold the Clintons
44:15
in contempt earlier this month. And it wasn't just Republicans. Remember,
44:19
Democrats voted for that too, And I say, good props
44:23
to the Democrats for stepping up. We need more of that.
44:29
Howard Lutnik planned meetings with Epstein long after he said
44:32
he'd broken off contact email show my old boss. Howard
44:36
Lutnick not exactly what i'd call a good guy. And
44:41
the fact that he oversaw what happened here in Las
44:43
Vegas with Canner and never got clipped by it is
44:47
just bananas to me. When you have a whole ass
44:52
operation running through your sportsbook that's laying money off and
44:57
collecting money for organized crime, usually that ends in disaster,
45:01
but not for mister Lutnick, not for Leamidas, who was
45:05
the boss out here. The only person punished from Canner
45:08
was a mid level executive who was actually involved in
45:12
the moving of the money and the fraud. But usually
45:16
the man who's in charge, the boss, ends up getting
45:18
in trouble, right, Not Liamidas, not Howard Lutnick. Howard Lutnik
45:24
and Jeffrey Epstein corresponded through intermediaries several times in twenty
45:28
eleven and twenty twelve, years after Lutnik had vowed to
45:32
never be in the same room with Epstein again, Documents
45:35
released by the Department of Justice on Friday show and
45:38
if he's lying about that, what else is mister Lutnick
45:41
lying about? When it comes to Jeffrey Epstein. The documents
45:45
reveal a deeper relationship between Lutnik and Epstein than had
45:49
previously been known. Lutnick, the former chairman of Kenner Fitzgerald
45:54
and current Commerce Secretary, was a one time neighbor of
45:58
Epstein in New York, but he said in an interview
46:02
last year that after a two thousand and five encounter
46:05
at Epstein's home, he grew uncomfortable and vowed that he
46:08
will never be in the same room with that disgusting
46:11
person ever again, So I was never in the room
46:14
with him socially for business or even philanthropy. He said
46:18
in the October interview. That guy was there, I was
46:21
going because he's gross, just another liar, just like you
46:26
lied about my IPO five thousand shares for all managers
46:30
at the sportsbook. Huh that worked out great, you scumbag.
46:35
The documents released Friday undercut the claim and reveal Lutnik
46:39
sought to meet with or call Epstein several times since
46:42
two thousand and five, including after Epstein pleaded guilty or
46:46
procuring a minor for prostitution in two thousand and eight.
46:50
A spokesperson for the Commerce Department did not immediately respond
46:54
to a request for comment. Twenty eleven email to Epstein
46:59
from Epstein's assistant said, Howard Lutnick returned your call. Another
47:03
email to Abstein from his assistant reads Howard Lutnick will
47:06
come see you at five pm. That same year, the
47:10
heading of an alarm message reads drinks with Howard Lutnik.
47:14
The next year, both Lutnix's wife and assistant communicated with
47:17
an Epstein assistant to set up a visit and the
47:20
lunch at one of Epstein's Caribbean Islands email show, and
47:25
nobody's going to call him out. Everybody's just going to
47:28
be like, ah, he misspoke, No big deal, Howard Lutnick,
47:31
He's a great guy. Jeffrey understands you'll be down in
47:36
saying Thomas some over the holidays. Epstein's assistant wrote in
47:39
a November twentieth, twenty twelve email to Lutnick, Jeffrey requested
47:44
I please pass along some phone numbers to you so
47:47
the two of you can possibly get together the next month.
47:51
Lutnix's wife, Allison said, in an email that was forward
47:54
at to Ebstein, we're looking forward to visiting you, adding
47:58
the Lutnix were part of a large group that included
48:01
another family. We're heading towards you from Saint Thomas. Allison
48:05
Lutnick wrote, where should we anchor exactly? Representatives for Epstein
48:10
asked what type of boat the Lutnix would be arriving
48:12
on so they could properly coordinate a one hundred and
48:16
eighty eight foot yacht. Allison Lutnik responded, must be nice, huh.
48:21
Go down to Diddle Island, bring your whole family. No,
48:24
big deal, No big deal that the guy's already a
48:26
convicted sex offender, but let me bring my kids. What
48:29
the fuck is wrong with people? Trump Commerce secretary invited
48:35
Epstein to a twenty fifteen Clinton fundraiser that he hosted.
48:39
Howard Lutnick, the current US Secretary of Commerce and former
48:42
CEO of financial firm Counter Fitzgerald, was a longtime neighbor
48:46
to Epstein. Lutnick lived next door to Epstein in Manhattan's
48:50
Upper east Side neighborhood. Lutnick once described Epstein showing him
48:54
and his wife a massage room in Epstein's townhouse in
48:58
two thousand and five that this sc rusted the couple,
49:01
saying they decided they would never be in the room
49:03
with that disgusting person ever again. But an email from
49:07
the newest batch of Epstein files shows that Lutnick sent
49:10
an email to Epstein's longtime assistant in November twenty fifteen,
49:16
inviting Epstein to a Democratic fundraiser for Hillary Clinton that
49:19
Lutnik hosted. It's unclear whether Epstein attended. Oh I'm sure
49:23
he did, right next door. Well, you think Epstein's not
49:27
showing up to that kind of party and the money
49:30
that he gave the Clintons forget about it, so much
49:34
money it'll make your head spin. CNN reached out to
49:37
the Commerce Department for comment, but did not receive an
49:40
immediate response. Former Israeli PM Barrock stayed at New York
49:44
apartment Epstein owned. We all know this already. This is
49:48
not new news to anybody out there. Former Israeli Prime
49:52
Minister Elhwood Barrock and his wife Nilli Praiell stayed at
49:56
an apartment in New York owned by Jeffrey Epstein multiple times.
50:00
Documents released by the Justice Department on Friday show though
50:04
the couple's relationship with Epstein was previously known, email correspondence
50:09
released in the DOJS Epstein files on Friday shed new
50:12
light into the closeness of the Israeli politician and Epstein.
50:16
Not really like I said. If you've been following along,
50:20
you know just how deep Epstein's ties to Barack were.
50:25
Like many powerful figures in Epstein's orbit, Barack, who said
50:28
he first met the late financier pedophile in two thousand
50:31
and three, continued his association with Epstein for years after
50:35
he became a convicted sex offender. Following a controversial plea
50:39
deal in two thousand and eight. Barack has previously acknowledged
50:43
his personal relationship with Epstein, but has said he never
50:47
witnessed or participated in any improper behavior. Not what Virginia
50:51
tells us, mister Barock, you degenerate fuck bag. Praell emailed
50:57
Epstein in May of twenty seventeen, letting him know that
51:00
she and Barack would be leaving the apartment for a
51:03
few days to go to Harvard, and asked if a
51:05
cleaner could come by the place while it was vacant.
51:08
Epstein then forwarded the message to someone who said that
51:11
she would be there the next day. In a separate
51:14
email exchange from Epstein's assistant, Leslie Groff, she writes that
51:19
she will contact Priel about switching out the cable box
51:22
and Barock's apartment for an Apple TV setup. Other emails
51:26
showed Grof, Epstein and Priell often wrote each other about
51:30
when the Barocks would be visiting New York and setting
51:33
up meetings between him and Epstein. So that's all well known.
51:38
But again, it just provides receipts for everything we've talked
51:40
about for all these years. Former Obama White House Council said,
51:45
i Adorum after Epstein booked her a first class trip
51:48
to Europe. Kathlen Roumler, the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs
51:53
and a White House council under former President Barack Obama,
51:56
called Jeffrey Epstein wonderful Jeffrey and I adore in a
52:00
December twenty fifteen email exchange which appears to show Epstein
52:04
booking and paying for her to have a first class
52:07
trip to Europe. Imagine that, huh, mister diddler himself getting
52:13
you a nice little airline ticket to Europe. And again,
52:17
this is after we all knew that he was a molester.
52:19
This is when everything was outed. Virginia was already speaking,
52:23
he was already convicted of child molestation. But sure, let's
52:28
go get a ticket from Jeffrey fucking Epstein. You want
52:32
to tell me again how the upper crust of America
52:35
of the world isn't corrupted. And to all the people
52:38
out there that thought all this was fake, that thought
52:41
all these people that we've talked about for years really
52:43
had nothing to do with this, well, you can take
52:47
all the seats in the back row and shut the
52:49
fuck up. The email exchange dated December twenty fifth and
52:54
twenty sixth of twenty fifteen appears to show Epstein telling
52:57
or addacted individual to arrange room travel. The redacted individual
53:02
explicitly proposed booking the flight on Epstein's credit card. At
53:06
the time, Rumler was the head of white collar crime
53:09
practice at the law firm Lathlman Watkins, which has said
53:13
Epstein was never a client. When the redacted individual asked
53:17
Rumner if the trip needed to be organized on Christmas Day,
53:20
Rumler replied, Merry Christmas. No, no, no, I am so
53:24
sorry for the intrusion. Please enjoy the day. Jeffrey is
53:27
being wonderful Jeffrey. A day later, in response, Rumner provided
53:33
her frequent Flyer number and preferred route for an international
53:36
trip to Geneva, with uncertainty about where she would return from.
53:41
When the redacted individual organizing the trip for Rumler replied
53:45
that Epstein is so very kind, Rumner responded, I know,
53:49
and I never feel as if I can return the
53:51
kindness adequately. I hope you're having a wonderful day. The
53:55
redacted individual then told Rumler that Epstein considered her a
53:59
very good friend, to which Rumler responded, will I adore him?
54:03
It's like having an older brother. Is anybody going to
54:05
ask Obama's lawyer what she was up to and why?
54:10
Probably a good idea. No. The December twenty fifteen emails
54:14
add to a body of past K file reporting that
54:17
has raised questions about the nature and extent of Rumler's
54:21
relationship with Epstein. Well, CNN, if you would have paid
54:24
attention years ago, you would have known this. Again, this
54:27
is in some revelation. We've talked about Catherine Rumler now
54:30
for years. As previously reported, Epstein referred to Rumler in
54:35
a message as my great defender, sought her advice as
54:39
he faced renewed scrutiny over his abuse of underage girls,
54:43
and relied on her input while crafting responses to critical
54:47
media coverage. K File previously reported that Roumler appeared repeatedly
54:52
on Epstein's calendars for meetings, meals, and travel between twenty
54:56
fourteen and twenty nineteen, and that unsealed coure records describer
55:01
providing legal advice on matters including media strategy, correspondence with lawmakers,
55:06
and efforts to preserve Epstein's controversial two thousand and eight
55:10
non prosecution agreement. Imagine being that kind of scumbag helping
55:15
Epstein preserve that agreement, and we're not talking about somebody
55:19
that had no idea. This is after the fact, after
55:23
a lot of the information was already available, and she
55:26
still chose to get in bed with Jeffrey Epstein. Rumner
55:31
has said that she regrets ever knowing Epstein and has
55:33
denied representing him or advocating on his behalf. Goldman Sachs,
55:38
where she now serves as chief legal officer, has said
55:41
a relationship with Epstein was professional, as Kathy has repeatedly
55:46
said she had a professional relationship with Epstein. In fact,
55:49
the plane ticket you're highlighting was in relation to a
55:52
business meeting with the mutual client that Epstein referred to
55:55
Latham and wet Watkins. A Goldman Sachs spokesperson told CNN,
56:00
so why did he pay for it? That doesn't make sense,
56:04
and whoever that spokesperson is, I think they're lying. Email show.
56:08
Former Obama White House counsel asked for Epstein's thoughts on
56:12
statement declining Attorney general job. In October of twenty fourteen,
56:17
Kathlyn Rumler, as White House counsel to Barack Obama, sent
56:21
Jeffrey Epstein a draft public statement declining further consideration for
56:25
the position of US Attorney General and asked for his feedback.
56:30
The email, dated October twenty three, twenty fourteen, shows Rumler
56:34
writing simply draft statement thoughts Roomler's statement typos included read
56:40
I have always considered the Department of Justice my professional home,
56:44
and while I am deeply honored to be considered a
56:47
candidate for Attorney General, I have informed the President that
56:51
I must decline his further consideration. The Attorney General serves
56:56
a unique role in the President's cabinet and must be
56:59
perceived does independent from the White House. Any perception of
57:03
a lack of independence because of my prior role as
57:06
counsel to the President would not serve the President, the
57:09
Justice Department, or the country's interest at this time, and
57:13
I have so informed the President. Rumler had left Obama's
57:16
White House that May. She's currently the top lawyer at
57:19
Goldman Sachs. Epstein replied with suggested edits, advising Rumler add
57:24
the phrases I believe, and commenting on how the statement
57:28
would be received in international news reports by saying she
57:32
should add United States after attorney general. The email was
57:36
sent the day before Rumler publicly declined the role, though
57:40
it does not appear she used the statement she sent
57:42
to Epstein. Rumler has said she regrets ever knowing Epstein
57:47
and has denied representing him or advocating on his behalf.
57:51
Goldman Sachs, where she now serves as chief legal officer,
57:54
has said in the past her relationship with Epstein was professional.
57:58
Goldman Sachs and Rouler did not respond to multiple requests
58:02
for comment. Epstein's survivors say many victims' names appear unredacted
58:09
in the files. Yes, they do a whole lot of them.
58:12
And this is what I was talking about previously, like,
58:15
how are you going to redact the names of the
58:17
co conspirators but leave these girls' names right there in
58:21
plain daylight for anyone to see. And it sure looks
58:23
like they weren't bothered by trying to redact these names.
58:27
They were way too busy redacting the names of the
58:29
people that were engaging in abuse and enabling it. In
58:34
the immediate aftermath of the Justice Department releasing millions of
58:37
additional Jeffrey Epstein related files on Friday, some survivors tell
58:41
CNN that they have found numerous examples of victims' names
58:45
appearing unredacted throughout documents. One woman who has chosen to
58:50
remain anonymous as Jane Doe, has already found her name
58:53
in multiple places, including an email exchange she previously had
58:57
with Epstein. The woman's lawyer, Jennifer Plotkin, who represents multiple
59:02
Jane do Epstein victims, told CNN on Thursday that she
59:06
had previously reached out to the DOJ, asking that the
59:09
department correct the fact that his client's names was exposed
59:13
in previous batches of files. Plotkin said she never heard
59:17
back from the agency. You know, they care so much
59:19
about survivors, right, not even replying to the lawyers. Other
59:24
survivors tell CNN they have also uncovered their own and
59:27
other victims' names. The failure to properly redact victims' names
59:32
came despite Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche saying in a
59:35
press conference Friday that the agency prioritizes victims privacy and
59:39
well being. Still, he added, mistakes are inevitable, and he
59:44
encouraged anyone who sees problems to reach out to the
59:47
DOJ email tipsheet. Epstein cellmate pleaded with him to not
59:54
kill himself. According to interview with federal investigators. Jeffrey Epstein
59:58
cellmate Adam and Haht in prison pleaded with the convicted
1:00:01
sex offender not to kill himself in their shared cell,
1:00:05
The man told federal investigators in a lengthy interview days
1:00:08
after Epstein's death. The interview with ephrin REUS on August sixteenth,
1:00:13
twenty nineteen, in which he detailed the time he spent
1:00:17
with Epstein, was memorialized in several pages of handwritten notes
1:00:21
taken by one of the Justice Department officials who was there.
1:00:25
The names of the interviewers are redacted, but according to
1:00:29
the documents, the assistant US attorney who took the notes
1:00:32
and two FBI investigators were among the attendees. Reys with
1:00:36
Jeffrey Epstein's cellmate at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in the
1:00:40
Special Housing unit El Tiers, Cell two twenty until August
1:00:43
twenty nineteen, and FBI document reads Reys, who would go
1:00:48
on to plead guilty to federal narcotics charges, was transferred
1:00:52
out of the prison in a routine pre arranged move.
1:00:55
One day later, Epstein died by suicide in the cell
1:00:58
in which he was staying alone at the time. Reyes
1:01:02
told Epstein, don't hang yourself up in my cell. Don't
1:01:05
try to kill yourself in this cell. I don't want
1:01:07
to wake up and find you dead. According to the
1:01:09
notes released Friday, Epstein said, don't worry. I'm never going
1:01:13
to cause you trouble. Rayes told investigators that Epstein, a
1:01:17
billionaire inmate with an attentive legal team, would use his
1:01:20
wealth to his benefit to make life more comfortable in prison.
1:01:24
Epstein would ask correctional officers for things, and if they
1:01:27
said no, he would write down their name and say,
1:01:30
I'll tell my lawyer. Everyone on eggshells, Reyes said. According
1:01:34
to the notes, for example, though inmates in the Shoe
1:01:38
were not allowed to have pens, Epstein had two. Reyes said.
1:01:42
Rays died in November twenty twenty from COVID. So that
1:01:46
was the second person that was stationed in a cell
1:01:49
with Epstein. Don't get confused. The first person was Nicholas
1:01:52
tar Tagleoni. You know the guy that was in there
1:01:55
for four murders. That dude, and that's when Epstein allegedly
1:01:58
tried to kill himself, and Tartaglioni was the hero, which
1:02:02
is absolute bullshit, because Epstein himself told his lawyers and
1:02:07
the MCC that Tartaglioni attacked him. So I've always been
1:02:11
of the mind that Tartaglioni was there to send a message, look,
1:02:15
either you do it or we'll do it for you.
1:02:18
And the more we learn, the more information we get,
1:02:21
the more convinced I am of that scenario. Release includes
1:02:25
maxwell arrest photos and financial documents. The latest tranch of
1:02:29
Epstein documents released by the Department of Justice on Friday
1:02:33
include fresh information about his co conspirator Glenn Maxwell, including
1:02:37
booking photos with height weight details, as well as pictures
1:02:42
of her New Hampshire home from search warrant requests. The
1:02:45
newly released documents also contained dozens of Maxwell's financial records.
1:02:50
There are documents from maxwell linked accounts at ubs, including
1:02:54
one that described her investment and showed a balance of
1:02:57
seven hundred and seventy three thousand, one hundred and seventy
1:03:00
five dollars in March of twenty nineteen. There is also
1:03:04
a letter describing a one million dollar wire transfer in
1:03:07
twenty sixteen, as well as the irs documents about her
1:03:12
tax returns. So we all know Maxwell's broke his shit
1:03:15
right now, but previously she had a ton of money,
1:03:19
and all that money came from Jeffrey Epstein and their
1:03:22
ill gotten gains. So when we talk about Rico, this
1:03:25
is why. Justice Department letter to Congress describes Epstein file's
1:03:30
review and redactions. The Justice Department outlined in a letter
1:03:34
to Congress how it conducted its review of the Jeffrey
1:03:37
Epstein files and provided more specifics on what was redacted
1:03:41
in more than three million pages released on Friday. Approximately
1:03:45
two hundred thousand pages have been redacted or withheld based
1:03:49
on various privileges. The letter, signed by Deputy Attorney General
1:03:53
Todd Blanche states, such as attorney client privileges or deliberative
1:03:57
process privilege. Documents in a foreign language or that cannot
1:04:01
be uploaded for review due to technical issues were not produced.
1:04:05
The letter said that the Justice Department is still trying
1:04:08
to obtain additional documents that could later be released, including
1:04:12
grand jury material from the federal criminal case out of
1:04:15
the Southern District of New York that charge corrections officers
1:04:19
who worked at the correctional facility where Epstein killed himself
1:04:22
with falsifying records. Within fifteen days of Friday's release, the
1:04:26
Justice Department will submit to Congress formal report that includes
1:04:30
a list of all government officials and politically exposed persons
1:04:34
found in the Epstein files and a summary of all
1:04:37
their dactions as mandated by the law passed by Congress.
1:04:41
The letter said that more than five hundred attorneys and
1:04:44
reviewers across DOJ helped process the files as a first step,
1:04:48
then forty specialized attorneys conducted a second review. In practice,
1:04:53
virtually all of the time and attention of department personnel
1:04:57
who participated in the manual review and re action efforts
1:05:01
was devoted to maximizing the protection of victims identifying information,
1:05:05
the letter states, which is absolute junk. The most important
1:05:11
thing to them was protecting the agents and the people involved.
1:05:15
That's what they were doing, and I think that much
1:05:17
as obvious from the actual files themselves. And look, this
1:05:21
is just a cursory look at the files as of now.
1:05:24
There's going to be a lot more to dive into
1:05:26
and look at and break down. So this is just
1:05:30
a starting point, obviously, and over the next few days
1:05:33
we're going to be digging deep into those files. And
1:05:36
I have some emails and some information to share with
1:05:39
you that is very, very revealing. And I think that
1:05:43
some of these emails that we're going to go over
1:05:45
really tie together a lot of the stuff that we
1:05:47
talked about, especially when it comes to the NPA. As
1:05:52
for this one, though, that's going to do it. All
1:05:54
of the information that goes with this episode can be
1:05:57
found in the description box.
