Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Jeffrey Epstein’s House Arrest Abuse Claims Strike at the Heart of the NPA (5/13/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
- 0:03Epstein Chronicles. Yesterday, down in Palm Beach, the Democratic members
- 0:09of the House Oversight Committee held a pop up hearing
- 0:12where we heard from some survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. And
- 0:16one of those survivors was a woman named Rosa who
- 0:20was from Uzbekistan and at the age of eighteen, she
- 0:25met Jean Luke Brunel, who brought her to America on
- 0:28promises of a career in modeling, but of course that
- 0:32never came true and instead she was led directly into
- 0:36the clutches of Jeffrey Epstein. And when I tell you
- 0:40about the girls and the women with no names, it's
- 0:43people like Rosa that I'm talking about, mainly from countries
- 0:47like Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, etc. These are women that
- 0:55really have no recourse right a lot of times in
- 0:58their home country, they can't even come forward. I mean,
- 1:00look at the pushback they're getting here in America. Can
- 1:04you imagine coming forward in a country where women don't
- 1:06have as many rights. Of course, these women aren't going
- 1:09to come forward, and of course we haven't heard their stories,
- 1:13and unfortunately, Rosa is one of many, because there's a
- 1:18lot of women out there that were abused by Jeffrey Epstein,
- 1:21his network, his contacts, his friends, that we're probably never
- 1:26going to hear from. And that's why it's crucial that
- 1:29we act on the information that we do get, because
- 1:31if we do that, then people who might know something
- 1:34or have evidence of Jeffrey Epstein's crimes might end up
- 1:37coming forward if they see some forward momentum. But who
- 1:43the hell wants to come out and tell their story
- 1:45when you have the President of the United States calling
- 1:48it a hoax. I mean, you would think that if
- 1:51you're a decent human being, you'd hear stories like this
- 1:54and you'd be like, you know what, we need to
- 1:56reopen the investigation and we need to look at everybody involved.
- 2:01But instead they just keep doubling down. Right, Ah, this
- 2:04is overblown. It's all a bunch of nonsense. It's a hoax.
- 2:08Jeffrey Epstein was just a loan predator. You know the
- 2:11routine by now, and that's what they give us time
- 2:14and time again. And the sad truth is we just
- 2:16continue to accept it, even though we know that it's
- 2:19completely bunk. But the problem for them and their narrative
- 2:23is that there's people out here like Rosa who have
- 2:25been harmed by Jeffrey Epstein and his network. And I
- 2:29assure you that Jeffrey Epstein himself couldn't do all the
- 2:32things that he had to do to keep his criminal
- 2:35machine chugging along. He needed people like John lu Brunel.
- 2:40He needed people like Sarah kelln Vickers. He needed people
- 2:44like Leslie Groff. He needed people like Daniel said. Today's
- 2:50article is from Raw Story and the headline Epstein's survivor
- 2:54says the billionaire raped her while he was under house arrest.
- 2:58This article was authored by Summer lad. So this is
- 3:02what I was talking about when I said that Epstein
- 3:04was still abusing people while he was under the supervision
- 3:07of the state. I have heard this from numerous people now.
- 3:11And obviously Epstein was in violation of the terms of
- 3:14the NPA, so that NPA should be ripped up. And
- 3:18with the testimony that Rosa gave yesterday, I don't know
- 3:21how the DJ could even begin to defend that NPA.
- 3:25And the truth is it wasn't just Rosa. There were
- 3:30multiple girls who said they were abused at that time,
- 3:33but Rose is the first one that we're hearing from
- 3:35in public, right, but it's certainly not new. What it
- 3:38is is confirmation that the sources were telling the truth.
- 3:43And if you've been following along, there's quite a bit
- 3:46of that in this story. A survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's
- 3:51sexual abuse told a House Oversight Committee hearing in Florida
- 3:53on Tuesday that the late pedophile raptor while he was
- 3:57under house arrest in emotional testimony. So right then and there,
- 4:01he's in violation of the NPA, and that NPA should
- 4:04be thrown out. And if they throw out the NPA,
- 4:07it opens up a whole new world, doesn't it. All
- 4:10those people that were protected not anymore. There's no more.
- 4:14Oh well, I was an unnamed co conspirator protected in Florida.
- 4:19That shit's done, and it should have been done a
- 4:22long time ago. In fact, that deal should have never
- 4:25been made. But now that it has been made, there's
- 4:29certainly a remedy on the books to get rid of it,
- 4:31and we're looking at it right here. The problem is
- 4:34the DOJ doesn't care, and the DOJ doesn't want this
- 4:38story to continue to move on, And the biggest problem
- 4:42is they don't want to admit that they broke the
- 4:44law when they ignored the CVRA. So that's why you
- 4:50see the DOJ fighting tooth and nel to smooth this
- 4:53all over and make it all go away. It's because
- 4:56they know how damning it'll be if the truth ever
- 4:58gets out. The witness, identified only by her first dam Rosa,
- 5:04said she was first brought to the US from Uzbekistan
- 5:07aged eighteen by the late Epstein associate and model scout
- 5:11Jean lu Bruneau, who secured her a talent visa and
- 5:14introduced her to the financier. And she also talked about
- 5:17the fraud, the immigration fraud, and how Jeffrey Epstein and
- 5:21his people were able to get her this immigration visa
- 5:26within six months that she wasn't even qualified to possess.
- 5:30So who was helping Epstein out at the immigration office.
- 5:34These are the questions that I want answered. All the
- 5:37people that were in positions to help them and did
- 5:40help them, they should have to face the music now,
- 5:43and I think that if we want true accountability, that's
- 5:46what we'll do. I didn't have the documentation to earn
- 5:50that visa, on one hundred percent sure of that, Rosa
- 5:53told the committee I was promised a modeling career beyond
- 5:56my dreams, and how many women were told the same
- 5:59exact thing, only to be brought to the belly of
- 6:01the beast, abused and discarded. When Epstein was done, we're
- 6:06talking about thousands. I know. The DOJ said, what twelve hundred,
- 6:11So my guess is the numbers actually higher. And I
- 6:14think that this gigantic hole of evil has no bottom
- 6:20at this point. I truly believe that. Less than a
- 6:23month after arriving in the United States, my agency sent
- 6:27me to the home of a registered sex offender. He
- 6:29was meant to be in a jail cell, but I
- 6:31met him in his house here in West Palm Beach.
- 6:34He was not in a jail. No, he was not.
- 6:37And I remember when I reported on this years ago,
- 6:39people were like, yeah, right, why does nobody come forward? Then? Well,
- 6:44because they were scared, man, and they still are. This
- 6:48isn't some internet story to these people. This is their life.
- 6:53These are the cards that they've been dealt and now
- 6:56they're trying to navigate this the best they can. And
- 6:59some people have kids, jobs, careers. They don't want their
- 7:03name brought up with this. And as much as I'd
- 7:05love to hear everybody's story. I'm certainly aware that not
- 7:09everybody's going to come forward, and that's okay. Everybody has
- 7:14to deal with their grief and their trauma in their
- 7:17own way, and nobody should be demanding that these survivors
- 7:20do the job of the DOJ. And it's always laughable
- 7:23to me when people are like, well, nobody's ever named names,
- 7:27but they have and nothing came of it. What happened
- 7:31when Glenn Dubin was named, or Leon Black or Les
- 7:34Wexner or Bill Richardson or Marvin Minsky or George Mitchell.
- 7:39What happened? Nothing? Absolutely nothing. The media didn't even talk
- 7:44about it. So why would any of these other women
- 7:48who come from these far flung places want to come forward?
- 7:51They see how the American girls were treated, you think
- 7:54they're going to get a better shake. Jeffrey Epstein was
- 7:58under her house arrest from less of underage girls at
- 8:01the exact time that he was abusing me, She said
- 8:04in tears. Get rid of the NPA, Now that's what
- 8:08we should be focused on. That should be the short
- 8:10term goal, because once that's gone, it gets rid of
- 8:14that armor that they've used for so long, and I
- 8:17think once we get there, all bets are off. And look,
- 8:22it's not like they don't have a basis to get
- 8:24rid of it. They do. This dirty scumbag was in
- 8:26violation of the deal. Get rid of it now. Investigators
- 8:30eventually compiled a fifty three page indictment using evidence from
- 8:34thirty four victims, only for the predator to be granted
- 8:37a non prosecution agreement by federal attorneys as part of
- 8:41a sweetheart plea deal that enabled him to sidestep federal
- 8:44sex trafficking charges. And nobody at that hearing yesterday brought
- 8:49up the fact that DOJ brass manipulated the whole thing
- 8:54and forced the deal. And I know that everybody wants
- 8:57to use a Costa as the fall guy, but I'm
- 8:59not going to to do it. He was just a
- 9:02peace right another cog. The real problem were people like
- 9:06Felipe and Mukesi, who were on the phone with people
- 9:11like Dershowitz and ken Starr working out this deal behind
- 9:15closed doors. And the most insulting part of all of
- 9:17it is that it was kept private and hidden from
- 9:20the survivors. And of course that was also illegal because
- 9:24it went against the CVRA Instead, Epstein pleaded guilty to
- 9:31the lesser state offense of soliciting a minor under eighteen
- 9:34for prostitution, registered as a sex offender, and paid compensation
- 9:38to the victims. He served just thirteen months of an
- 9:41eighteen month prison sentence in a county jail and was
- 9:45allowed out on work release privilege. And he was abusing
- 9:48multiple women, not just Rosa. And I can say that
- 9:51with certainty because the people who told me that have
- 9:54proven themselves to be very reliable, as sources told Tuesday's
- 10:00hearing that Epstein had threatened her visa status and financial
- 10:03security to keep her from escaping the fact that he
- 10:07could commit those crimes made justice feel impossible to me,
- 10:10she said, And that was part of the scheme, right.
- 10:14The immigration fraud was a big deal. It's like a
- 10:16rat trap. You get stuck in that glue and there's
- 10:18nowhere to go. And these women that were relying on
- 10:22people like Epstein and mc squared to do the right thing,
- 10:25and of course they were never going to do the
- 10:27right thing. She also attacked the Department of Justice for
- 10:32leaving her name and those of other survivors unredacted in
- 10:36the Epstein files released in December and January, saying hers
- 10:40appeared more than five hundred times, while those of the
- 10:42pedal files alleged accomplices were blacked out, which he claimed
- 10:46had been a choice, not a mistake. And I agree.
- 10:51I think some of it might have been a mistake,
- 10:52but a lot of it was intimidation. Remember, the DOJ
- 10:57doesn't want this out. And Trump was dragged into the
- 11:00signing kicking and screaming. Asked what justice looked like for her,
- 11:04Rosa answered, you guys have to figure out justice, not me.
- 11:07You can't give me justice. When I came to this country,
- 11:10I thought something was going to be different. I'm shocked
- 11:13this is happening here in the United States, and I
- 11:16share her disgusted and outrage. This shouldn't happen anywhere, and
- 11:21it certainly shouldn't happen in the United States of America.
- 11:25She concluded her remarks by likening the Epstein Survivor's Movement
- 11:29to the campaign led by the nineteenth century Hungarian doctor
- 11:32Ignatz Semelweis to introduce antiseptic to maternity care to save
- 11:38women's lives. I'm begging you, please wash your hands, Rosa
- 11:43told the committee, so with just Rosa's testimony. Right here,
- 11:47we have enough evidence to get rid of the NPA,
- 11:50and I think that that's where the focus should be
- 11:52in the short term, because once that's gone, it opens
- 11:55up a whole last world of investigation. But as we
- 11:59all know, what our government should do and what they
- 12:01will do are two very very different things, all right,
- 12:05everybody that's going to do it for this one. All
