Long-Sealed Damning Evidence From Giuffre v. Maxwell Heads Toward Public Release (8/19/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. When it comes to the lawsuit between Virginia
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and Glenn Maxwell, we still haven't seen all of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: files and that's because a lot of them were locked
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: away by the judge who was overseeing it at the time,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and it was a sweeping seal, meaning that he didn't
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: really go through all the different files and sealed them
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: on a one by one basis. Basically, it was a
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: blanket seal and anything that could embarrass people or that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: would give private information up ended up being sealed. But
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that's not the way it should have went. And now
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: with the latest ruling by Judge Presca, we're going to
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: get to see some of these documents. Now, the question
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: is when is that going to occur. When are they
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: going to be unsealed and available for us to dive into,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And of course there's a whole process that has to
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: be followed now with these documents being unsealed. So today
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: we have an article from Media and the headline damning
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: evidence from Virginia Roberts twenty fifteen lawsuit against Glaann Maxwell
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to be released. This article was authored by Kathy Anne Bonniello.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: More damning documents about Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell could
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: be on the way after a Manhattan federal court judge
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: agreed to unseal the voluminous case files from more than
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: a decade old lawsuit against the convicted madam. And there's
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a ton of depositions that have still been sealed. And boy,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to get a look at him. I
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: can't wait to see what people had to say, and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I can't wait to see how many people pled the fifth.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: And here's another thing. There's going to be damning information
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: about a lot of people, not just about Maxwell, not
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: just about Epstein, but about a lot of people. And
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: that was why Judge Sweet ended up sealing all of this.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to embarrass people, which is absolutely ridiculous
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: because these people, well they embarrassed themselves. Miami Herald investigative
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: reporter Julie K. Brown, whose reporting led to the downfall
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: of the disgraced financier Pedophile, reported the decision from Judge
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Loretta Presca on her sub stack on Tuesday. Well, this
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: decision was made days ago, and Judge Presca has been
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: one of the few judges that has actually cared about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: transparency throughout this process, and she's one of the judges
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to fear these people, and she certainly
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: doesn't care about their image, right. I mean, she was
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the one that released all this information in the first place,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: before the Epstein files were a thing. Judge Presca had
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: these documents coming out on a rolling basis, and considering
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the way these other judges have acted, I think we
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: have to give Judge Presca a lot of credit when
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: it comes to transparency. Virginia Roberts sued Maxwell for defamation
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen after Maxwell accused Roberts of making up
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: sex trafficking allegations against Epstein and others, including former Prince
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Andrew mount Batton Windsor, who is now under police probe
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for his ties to the pedophile Well, yeah, for passing information,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: not for the stuff. He should be under investigation for
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the stuff that Virginia told everybody about years ago. That's
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: what he should have been under investigation for. But of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: course not right, God forbid, the queen's son actually gets
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: some kind of ramifications. Brown and The Miami Herald have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: fought in court for nearly a decade to unseal the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: hefty case files from Robert's lawsuit, Brown wrote, adding the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: lawsuit was settled in early twenty seventeen. I had been
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: told discovery contained damning evidence against Epstein, Maxwell and other men,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and that it was worth trying to get the courts
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to unseal the document on the grounds that they were
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: never properly sealed in the first place. And this is
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a discussion that I've had with Virginia. We talked about
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: these files and how they were still sealed, and how
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: it was ridiculous, especially considering she won the lawsuit. Those
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: files should have been public record, but of course they
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: were hidden. And why were they hidden, Well, because the
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: people whose names were contained inside of those files didn't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: want you to know. And that's the same reason you
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: see this cover up that's happening right now. In real time,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: judicial records, by law, are supposed to be open to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the public. In this case, the former judge Robert Sweet,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: now deceased, issued a blanket sealing on all the documents
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: because they contained sensitive and private information. Sweet placed to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: protective order on massive amounts of material, including hearings and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: judicial decisions made in the case. The voluminous evidence that
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Virginia presented to show that Epstein and Maxwell were operating
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: an underage sex trafficking operation. You know, the one that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: was proven correct. You know Maxwell charged with perjury? Could
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: she lied during this ordeal? But sure tell me some
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: more about how it's all overblown. The only thing that's
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: overblown is a narrative that says that all of this
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: has already been investigated. That's the biggest hoax in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: whole entire case. This is not the way sealing is
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: supposed to happen. However, each document that the lawyers want
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: sealed has to be examined, and those requesting it be
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: sealed must provide legal justification to the judge for doing so.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: This wasn't done in this case, of course, it wasn't.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Nothing that should have been done was ever done. It
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: was always just done in a manner that would benefit
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Epstein time and time again, and at some point you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have to ask yourself, is this all just by accident?
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Is it all coincidence? Or could it be that it's
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: something much more a fit. Last week, PRESCO rejected Maxwell's
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: bid to keep the files under wrap, noting that epstein
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: files transparency acts superseded in earlier grand jury argument that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Maxwell was using to keep the records from the public,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Brown wrote, and there's no doubt the EFTA really launched
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: some different things into orbit, and it gave us a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: little bit more of an ability to make an argument
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: with the courts that things should be unsealed. So I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: think it's very important that the EFTA went through. But
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: with that said, like I've told you a million times,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the fact that it
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: didn't have teeth. You have to have teeth. You can't
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have some kind of congressional bill that doesn't have punishment
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: on the back end. I mean, it sounds good and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it looks good in concept, but what are you gonna
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: do when people don't listen? What are you gonna do
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: when people decide to make a move like we've seen
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: with the DOJ You're gonna be stuck. And unfortunately that's
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: where we find ourselves. We have the EFTA, but there's
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: no teeth. And how many people have already got up
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: there and given us testimony where they lied, bullshitted and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: told a bunch of nonsense to the Congressional Committee. Well
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: just about all of them, right, And what's happened. I
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: ain't been hit with perjury, has anyone been referred, has
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: anyone been arrested? Has there been the doors blown off
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of the investigation? Of course not. And while it's great
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that role Conna and Thomas Massey worked together to get
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: this passed, what have they done since? And that's really
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: what it comes down to. It's one thing to get
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: something passed right, It's another thing to keep up the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: full core press and in my opinion, we just haven't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: seen that. So when it comes to Judge Presca and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the rulings, I'm all for it because Judge Presca, she's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: not messing around. Maxwell's sixty four, was convicted in December
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one of sex trafficking and other crimes
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: and later sentenced to twenty years in Roberts, who was
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: found dead in April of twenty twenty five at her
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: home in Western Australia, struggled in the final years of
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: her life after being seriously hurt in a car crash
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and separating from her husband. According to reports, she was
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: forty one years old. The fact that these files aren't
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: unsealed is just unbelievable, and the hoops that people have
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to jump through to get the information that should already
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: be out there is one of the biggest tells. You know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: people want to talk about cover up here and cover
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: up there, and you know conspiracy. Well here it is.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: This is it. It's happening in real time, right in
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: front of our faces, and there's still people that refuse
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: to accept it. And I just don't get it, Like,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: what could the motivation be for trying to downplay this?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I mean outside of political motivation, right, I get why
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump will want to downplay it. It's damaging to him,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: but regular people, I mean, how could anyone look at
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: what Epstein was up to, what he was doing, and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: all of the information we have about those crimes and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: say to themselves, ah, you know what, everything's on the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: up and up, man, everything's good here. There's nothing that
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: needs any more investigation, nothing that seems amiss, and certainly
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: nothing that rises to the level of criminality, because there's
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: no way you can arrive at that point if you
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: honestly look at all of the evidence that's been provided.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Of course that doesn't mean you have to believe every element,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but there's so much here that it's impossible for me
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to understand how someone can look at what Epstein was
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: up to, look at the people he was associating with,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: look at their business dealings, and I'll come to the
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: conclusion that there is a lot of financial malfeasance at
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the very least. And you might not think that's a
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: big deal compared to the human trafficking, but in my opinion,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: it is not because it's more vile or more disgusting
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: or more harmful to the people, but because that's an
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: inroad and before you get into the room, you have
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: to open the door, and I think that the financial
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: aspect of this is the right way to do that. Unfortunately,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: we're not going to see it, at least not without
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a fight. And that's also why they want to keep
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all these other documents sealed. Look, these people might be sick,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: but they're not stupid, and they understand that they can't
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: have all this stuff coming out if they want to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: control the blast radius. And that's why they're going to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: fight with every ounce of their being to make sure
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that this stuff never sees the light of day. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that's also why they want you to move on. The
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: question is will you give them what they want all
• 10:40
