The House Judiciary Democrats’ 53 Page Trump/Epstein Report (Part 1) (10/27/26) · Beyond The Horizon

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. In this episode, we're going to begin taking
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a look at the new Democrat report about Jeffrey Epstein,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and the evidence that they say they have
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that points to the cover-up. So I'll keep my whinging
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to a minimum and we'll just dive right in. Executive
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Summary A growing body of evidence demonstrates that Donald Trump
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: was an active participant in in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: of young women during the mid to late 90s. The
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice, DOJ, and Federal Bureau of Investigation are
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: doing everything they can to keep the American people in
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the dark about it. From the very first weeks of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the Trump administration, DOJ shut down ongoing criminal investigations into
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein's enablers and co-conspirators, lied about clear evidence of crimes
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: in its possession, and sought to silence survivors. In July
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of 2025, then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch and one of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: his senior deputies, Emil Bove, both former criminal defense lawyers
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: for Donald Trump, released a memorandum stating that the DOJ
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: and FBI had determined that no further disclosure of the
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Epstein files would be appropriate or warranted. Trump has claimed
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: that the Epstein files totally exonerate him, but the evidence
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: as detailed in this staff report could not be less exonerating.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: The historical record shows that Trump was a very close
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: friend and confidant of Epstein. Trump flew on his jet
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: with Epstein's victims, made shared references to lusting after young women.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: The record shows that Epstein and Trump, working with other
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: predators like Paolo Zampoli and John Casablancas, exploited the thin
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: veneer of professionalism offered by the late 1990s modeling industry
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: to lure victims into their orbit. The evidence, much of
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it still hiding behind redactions in DOJ vaults, shows that
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago Club and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: strongly suggests that Epstein introduced Trump to his wife Melania.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: The evidence demonstrates that Trump has lied about the nature
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of the extent of his relationship with Epstein dozens of times,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: incriminating behavior for someone who supposedly has nothing to hide.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Above all, The actual evidence that we've seen, as shared
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: in the accounts and stories of 11 women, each described below,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: indicates that Trump abused, assaulted, and even raped numerous women
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: alongside and in coordination with the most infamous sex trafficker
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: in history. These stories are united by time, place, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the distinct factual similarities in how Trump and Epstein pursued, manipulated,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: and abused these women. With one exception, these accounts of
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: sexual assault and conspiracy involve episodes that took place between
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: 1992 and 1997 in New York City and Palm Beach,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: at a time when Trump and Epstein were close friends
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: and participated in a shadowy subculture organized around young female modeling.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Witnesses speak consistently of modeling pageants and parties where young
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: women and girls were forced into predatory situations and routinely
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: taken advantage of, abused, and raped. They give similar accounts
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of the competitive and sinister relationship between Epstein and Trump
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: and how it channeled into their shared pursuit of young women.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Taken together, the evidence provided by the stories of these
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: 11 women and the documentary evidence that supports and corroborates
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: their stories indisputably meets and surpasses FBI's standard for opening
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a full investigation. That activity constituting a federal crime may
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have occurred. Of the 11 women involved, who tie Donald
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation, five of them,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Beatrice Kuhl, Stacey Williams, Jill Hearth, Katie Johnson, and DeJane Doe,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: have directly accused Trump of raping or sexually assaulting them
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: in Epstein's company or direct physical presence. Beatrice Kuhl, whose
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: account is comprehensively set forth for the first time in
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this report, credibly alleges that Trump violently raped her at
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a November 1993 pageant at the Plaza Hotel in New
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: York City. and that Epstein, Trump, and others used this
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: pageant as a hunting ground to prey on vulnerable young
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: women and girls. Stacey Williams, who offered a detailed and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: corroborated account of Trump sexually assaulting her in the early
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: 90s while she was alone with him and Epstein in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: an office at Trump Tower. Jill Harth, who has also
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: publicly detailed Trump aggressively pursuing and violently sexually assaulting her
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and another woman in 1994 at a Mar-a-Lago party where
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Epstein and Trump were the only men present. Katie Johnson,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: who gave FBI the detailed account of her repeated rape
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: at the hands of Trump and Epstein in 1994 in
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: New York City when she was a minor. And Jane Doe,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: who offered the FBI a graphic account of Trump assaulting
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: her when she was a minor in the mid-80s in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: New York by forcibly pushing her head down to his
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: exposed penis. Beyond these direct allegations of physical assault, three
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: survivors speak of encounters with Trump whose circumstances indicate that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: he was a participant in Epstein's crimes, as shown by
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: how Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, tried to make,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: or made, these women available for sex. Two Epstein survivors,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Jane and Kate, told the FBI, seemingly offered them up
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to Trump for the purposes of sex or indicated their availability.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Jane and Kate were deemed so credible that federal prosecutors
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: called them to testify. as government witnesses subject to probing
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: cross-examination against Ghislaine Maxwell at her criminal trial. Another survivor,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Maria Farmer, described how Epstein had to actively prevent Trump
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: from preying on her late at night after Trump confused
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: her with a teenage girl potentially victimized by Epstein. Kate's
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: story is particularly suggestive of Trump's activity involvement in Epstein's
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: sex trafficking ring. Her FBI witness interview released in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Epstein files, details how Ghislaine Maxwell took her to a
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: party in New York, where Maxwell presented Kate to Trump. Kate,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a young model, remarked that this was the same way
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Maxwell introduced Kate to Epstein. Another document in the file
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: confirms that Maxwell set Kate up on a date with Trump,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and other sources show Maxwell, Trump, and Kate then traveled
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: together on Trump's private jet to Florida. Maxwell's role in
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: introducing young women to Trump was so well known that
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the tabloid covered it in 1997, remarking how Trump was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: friends with Robert Maxwell's daughter, Ghislaine, who has introduced several
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: of her attractive friends to the property developer. Beyond direct
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: victim accounts of rape and assault, three additional women appeared
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to have shared a possibly sexual relationship with Epstein and Trump.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: In one case, Epstein joked, perversely, that he sold a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: fully depreciated woman to Trump. The woman in question was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: a young foreign recent college graduate who dated both men.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Other accounts describe Trump's assault of young model Lauren Petrella
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: at a party where Epstein was present, and Trump paid
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: for yet another young model to live at one of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: his buildings in New York around the time she was
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: flying on Epstein's jet with Maxwell and Prince Andrew. These
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: reports do not stand alone, and they are not an aberration.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: They are remarkably consistent with the extensive public reports of
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Trump's sexual misconduct at the time. Other women have accused
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Trump of a range of sexual misconduct at similar modeling
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: events and parties in New York and Palm Beach, including
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Trump arranging for pageant contestants as young as 14. The
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: dance for him and his frequent practice of walking into
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: changing rooms while young girls were in a state of undress. Indeed,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Trump has acknowledged this lecherous behavior, boasting he could get
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: away with it because he owned the pageants in question
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: In 2005, with the now notorious Access Hollywood recording, Trump
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: bragged that when you're a star, beautiful women let you
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: do it. You can have anything. Grab them by the pussy.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: You can do anything. When asked about this video, in
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: a civil deposition, Trump defended this statement, stating he was
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: once such a star. In total, more than 25 women,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: some connected to Epstein and many not, have independently accused
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: His ex-wife, Ivana Trump, stated in a sworn deposition during
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: their divorce proceedings that Trump had physically and sexually assaulted
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: her in 1989, pulling out clumps of her hair and
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: raping her after an argument. As part of the E.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Jean Carroll civil cases against Trump, a federal jury unanimously
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: found that Trump forcibly penetrated Carroll after cornering her in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: a department store changing room in 1996 in New York.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The sheer number of these reports and these demonstrated crimes
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: suggest that most, if not all, of these dozens of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: women are telling the truth. Even Vice President J.D. Vance
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: repeatedly stated in 2016 that he believed Donald Trump had
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: committed sexual assault and that he credited the accounts of
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Trump's accusers over Trump's self-serving denials. In the face of
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: this wave of evidence, the only recourse for the president
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: has been to spread lies and obfuscations. In July 2019,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: after Epstein was arrested on charges of conspiracy to traffic minors,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump claimed that he knew Epstein just like everybody
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: in Palm Beach knew him and insisted he had no
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: idea about Epstein's crimes. This evasion and denial are contradicted
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: by almost all of the available evidence, including Trump and
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Epstein's own words and the documents contained in the Epstein files.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Epstein bragged he was Trump's closest friend for 10 years.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: In 2002, Trump said of Epstein, I've known Jeff for
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: 15 years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: be with. It's even said that he likes beautiful women
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: as much as I do, and many of them are
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: on the younger side. Since these statements and the world's
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: discovery of Epstein's crimes, Trump has unleashed a string of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: easily irrefutable lies about their relationship. He has falsely claimed
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that he never rode on Epstein's private jet, he did, repeatedly,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that he kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago Club, he did not,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and what he did not write Epstein's lewd birthday note,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he most certainly did, as the whole world can see.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: This staff report relying on redacted passages in the Epstein
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: files and new, never-before-released whistleblower testimony further reveals the full
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: scope and brazenness of Trump's lies. Despite the specific and
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: credible allegations made against Trump and a decades-long pattern of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: predatory practices, DOJ keeps repeating the absurd claim it first
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: advanced last summer that DOJ and FBI lack any evidence
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to investigate or prosecute any of Epstein's enablers, accomplices, or co-conspirators.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: While many individuals benefit from this continued cover-up and refusal
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: to undertake investigative activity, DOJ and FBI object dereliction of
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: duty appears aimed at protecting one individual in particular, the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Attorney General's previous client and now direct boss, Donald Trump.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Alright folks, we're going to wrap up episode one right here,
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: and in the next episode, we're going to pick up
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: where we left off. All the information that goes with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: this episode can be found in the description box.
