Was Jeffrey Epstein Working on Behalf of Foreign Governments? (7/22/26) · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Whenever you think of Jeffrey Epstein, the first
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: thing you think of, rightfully so, is that he was
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: a demented, disgusting, abusive piece of shit. But when you
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: start digging beyond that, it's very obvious that Jeffrey Epstein
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: served another function, and that function was an intermediary for
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the powerful and connected. Whether that's people in politics or
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: people in academia, the same rules apply. If you need
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: something done, you need to hide some money, you need
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to intimidate somebody, well, Jeffrey Epstein's the guy you go to.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: And now Jamie Raskin, along with other members of the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: House Judiciary, have now reached out to the Trump administration
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: and they're trying to figure out one way or the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: other if Jeffrey Epstein was a foreign agent. Now we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: know he wasn't registered with Farah Right. So if you're
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: looking for a documented paper trail, unfortunately you're not gonna
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: find one. But when you look at the relationships that
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: he fostered, when you look at all the people that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: he was spending his time with, and you look at
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the emails, it's rather obvious what Jeffrey Epstein was up to.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: And again I'm not just talking about the abuse. I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: think that's well established. And whether you believe that Jeffrey
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Epstein was trafficking girls to other people or not, I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: don't think there's any debate about the fact that Jeffrey
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Epstein himself was molesting people. And as heinous as that is,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: it's only one part of the story. Because when you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: start looking at Jeffrey Epstein's behavior with foreign governments, with
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: foreign intelligence agencies, it's obvious that only a portion of
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: this story has been told. So today we have an
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: article from The Hill and the headline Raskin argues epstein
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: emails show lobbying on behalf of foreign governments. I mean,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: how do you dispute that. Sure, what it looks like
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to me, you have Jeffrey Epstein out here working with
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: all these different people from all these different countries, whether
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: it's Russia, whether it's Israel, whether it's who the fuck
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: knows where. But if there was a dollar to be made,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: if there was fraud to engage in, you better believe
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Epstein's bitch ass wasn't far behind. This article was authored
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: by Rebecca Beisch. Emails from Jeffrey Epstein to world leaders
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: indicate he should have registered as a foreign agent. How
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: judiciary Democrats argue, including messages showing he sought to capitalize
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on his relationship to President Trump. One even if him
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and Trump weren't quote unquote friends, then do you really
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: think a guy like Epstein's not going to try and
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: utilize that friendship or the remnants of it to try
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and get a little bit further, to try to get
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit more. Because remember, when we're talking about Epstein,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: it was always about a little bit more, whether that
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was abuse or money, it was always about a little
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: bit more. In a letter to top Trump administration officials,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Representative Jamie Raskin said the communication from the deceased sex
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: offender that have been publicly released show significant conversations that
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: raise serious questions about the extent to which he wielded
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: his ties to President Trump in dealings with foreign governments. Yo,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: that is the legitimate question, and that goes for other
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: people besides Trump. Remember we had Jeffrey Epstein lobbying the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: White House on behalf of Les Wexner back in the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: day when Bill Clinton was the president. Was he registered
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: then so, look, this is a rabbit hole that goes
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: really deep. And of course Trump's the guy that's at
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the sticks right now. Trump's the guy that's running the
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: cover up right now. And people would do themselves a
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: big favor if they understood that this has been going
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: on for decades and what we're watching now is just
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the latest portion of it, the newest season, if you will,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: same writers, just new actors. Epstein has long come under
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: fire for his significant foreign ties and has been trailed
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: by conspiracy theories he was a spy, accusations Vice President
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Vance referenced last week in telling podcaster Joe Rogan that
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the financier surely must have had connections to American and
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence at the highest levels. Well, the director of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the CIA, Bill Burns, was a regular at Jeffrey Epstein's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: house at wud Barrock, one of Jeffrey Epstein's best friends.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So where's the conspiracy there, Well, here's a hint. There
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: isn't one, because all of that's true. Now, does that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: mean that Jeffrey Epstein was some super spy for Israel?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Of course not. I've told you that from the jump
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he wasn't. Jeffrey Epstein had no allegiance to any country,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to any person besides Jeffrey Epstein. He was a middleman.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Remember in the movie shot Shank Redemption, you had Morgan
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Freeman's character read and he would tell everybody, look, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: can get you whatever you need. That's the same role
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that Jeffrey Epstein functioned in. And all the other stuff
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: was just the icing on the cake. But Epstein's real
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: role was to be the middleman, get deals moving come in,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: make sure that there's you know, loopholes so you don't
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: have to pay taxes, that kind of thing. That's what
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Epstein was up to. That was his function, and that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what made him so valuable, and that's what Congress should
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: be asking people like Leon Black about or Les Wexner.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The letter from Raskin makes no such claims, but argues
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: that even if I'm paid, will, work performed by Epstein
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: would have required registration under the Foreign Agents Registration Act FARA,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: as required of all HU lobby on behalf of foreign governments.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, I get what mister Raskin's trying to
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: do here, but there's not going to be any documentation
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: of Eppste signing any kind of FARA documents and registering
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: as an agent. That's literally counter to what he did.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Epstein was an undercover type of dude, right, wasn't somebody
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that was out in the forefront with somebody behind the
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: scenes manipulating things and using proxies like Prince Andrew and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Leon Black. That's what Jeffrey Epstein did, and that's what
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he excelled at. We find substantial evidence that mister Epstein
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: acted to advance the interest of the government of Saudi
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Arabia and Kuwait, advised the government of Russia on how
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: to shape its dealings with President Trump, worked as an
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: ongoing consultant for Ehud Barrock, the former Prime Minister of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the Government of Israel, and repeatedly capitalized on his long
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: term friendship with President Donald Trump to sign up business
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: from these and other foreign governments and actors. In the
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: aftermath of President Trump's first election without registering as a
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: foreign agent, Raskin wrote, well, that's all pretty interesting, But
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: how about we look get the seed money that he
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: gave to the Clinton Foundation as well? Can we do that?
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Is that going to be part of it? It should
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: be all of it. Matters Notoriously sparing with his type
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: of written words. Mister Epstein did not set forth as
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: plans and interactions with foreign dignitaries and state actors in detail,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but our examination of available evidence has already revealed damning
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: indications of mister Epstein's activities on behalf of foreign states. Yo,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I didn't need to do a whole investigation to know that.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: All you had to do was follow along with the
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: story just a little bit. Normal people don't have the
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: kind of ties that Jeffrey Epstein had, and it doesn't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: matter if you're some big, fancy business man. The only
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: way you get the kind of rolodex that Epstein had
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: is if you were moving in those circles on a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: regular basis and you prove yourself useful. The letter asked
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department to turn over files referencing Epstein and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a number of countries as well as weather. DOJ ever
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: launched a far investigation into the financier, and if not,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: on what basis. The dj declined to initiate such investigations.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: The DOJ did not respond to request for comment. I
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: got really bad news. They're not going to investigate their
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: own asset, and I know people don't want to hear it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: They want it to be the Massad. They wanted to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: be the evil Jews who are responsible. But I'm here
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: to tell you Jeffrey Epstein was a Frankenstein created right
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: here in America, and anybody who tells you any different
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: is running interference for Jeffrey Epstein for whatever reason. Now
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: we can talk about the role the Masad played as
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: far as using him and utilizing his ability, because that happened,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: for sure. But if you think that the israelis the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Massad created Epstein and then protected him in America, I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: really don't know what to tell you, honestly, because that
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: is as far from the truth as it gets. In
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: exchanges over Saudi matters, Epstein sought to ferry a message
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: to Crown Prince Mohammed ben Salmon, saying that he was
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: happy to become a financial confidant to the Kingdom of
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, writing, whatever entity suits you, I'm happy to
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: represent KSA interests. So that really just goes directly into
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the face of what these idiots like Ian Carroll want
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to tell you. Oh, they'll give you a little bit
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of truth, right, They'll sprinkle a little truth in their bullshit,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: But then they run off on these tangents, these narratives,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: and these narratives have nothing to do with transparency or
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: getting justice for what happened with Epstein. What they're trying
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: to do is slam the gavel down, the mallet on Israel. Again,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: that's all they care about. That's it, not the survivors,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: not holding institutions accountable. So that's why you see them
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: focus so much on Israel. And look again, I'm not
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: telling you that Israel didn't play a role. They did,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: but they were not the ones who created Epstein. And
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: if you think that Jeffrey Epstein was some kind of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: super spy for the Masad, you have totally and utterly
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: lost the plot. The committee has no response from Ben Salmon,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: only an email from Epstein in which he said he
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: had received numerous gifts from the Prince, carpets and all,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and told his assistant the Saudis would be arranging his accommodations.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine what kinds of depravity Epstein was up
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: to over in Saudi Arabia? I wonder if any Instagram
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: model showed up. And other emails, Epstein boasted of helping
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Russian figures approach Trump. In one case, writing that Russia's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: United Nations representative Battali Cherkin, saying the leader understood Trump
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: after our conversations. It's not complex. He must be seen
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: to get something. It's that simple. Before a summit between
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Russian President Vladimir Putin and Trump, Epstein wrote the Council
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: of Europe Secretary General Thorburn Jaglind, telling them, I think
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you might suggest to Putin that Russian Foreign Minister Sir
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Jay Lavrov can get insight on talking to me. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: I assure you that conversation was to benefit Jeffrey Epstein
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: nobody else. In Another exchange with a figure whose email
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is fully redacted also seems to indicate Epstein was communicating
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: with Kuwaiti officials, with the sender asking for advice on
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: how to communicate with them, and Epstein asking what they
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: were hoping to gain from the US. Just a loan predator, folks,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Just a guy that's sitting around looking at weird Internet
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: videos and every now and then, you know, abusing somebody.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But that was it. He had no connections to intelligence,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: no connections to the wider world. What are you a
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: conspiracy theorist? A good word about the Emir's effort the
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: host the Yemen piece talk will be great, I think,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and if a peace agreement was signed in Kuwait, that
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: would be thumbs up, the sender replied. The letter also
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: details Epstein's work for Israel, a relationship largely focused on
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: navigating dealings with Russia, though Raskin said Epstein also funneled
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: information about US officials the former Israeli president, mister Barak
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: and advised on strategy to lobby the Obama administration to
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: take a harder stance towards Iran and Syria. Look, there
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: is no doubt that Jeffrey Epstein was working hand in
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: hand with Israel. There is no doubt about it. But
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: we have to be honest about the role. We can't
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: just look at it and say, oh, well, here it
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: is look using in the macade. It's much deeper than
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: that and much more nuanced. Dude was a free agent.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Whoever was paying Epstein was in and it didn't matter
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: what kind of information or if it was harmful to
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: America or Israel or insert country here, as long as
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: there was enough zero's at the end of the transaction.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: That's all this dirt bag cared about. Beyond his entanglements
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: with foreign leaders. Raskin accuses Epstein of benefiting from his
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: close friendship with Trump, noting that numerous people wrote to
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the financier asking for help securing a political appointment, and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: that he frequently was in touch with former White House
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: advisor Steve Bannon. The tenor of the emails clearly indicates
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: he possessed influence in the Trump world, Raskin wrote, pointing
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: to one email in which Epstein wrote to Bannon referencing
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: he just spoke to one of the country's leaders that
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: we discussed, adding we should lay out a strategy plan. Well,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: couldn't the same be said about Catherine Ruemler when she
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: was very close to Obama inside of the Obama White
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: House while at the same time advising Jeffrey Epstein. You
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: see where I'm going with this, right, it is not
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: a one party problem. Stop it. That kind of shit
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: is causing great harm to this case. And that's why
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I've told you from the beginning not to fall for
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that trap. These Democrats they don't really care about justice either.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: They care about trying to make their point. They care
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: about trying to utilize this as a weapon, and that's
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: what they've been doing from the very beginning, and that's
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: why you don't see accountability and real talk. How many
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: of these Democrats have you heard talking about getting rid
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: of the NPA. We can get rid of it tomorrow.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: We just had another woman come out and say that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: she was abused while Epstein was on work release. That
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: puts him in violation of the NPA. Okay, so let's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: get rid of it right now today. Bunch of big talk,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: but never any walk. And that goes for all these clowns.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Given the information mister Epstein possessed about President Trump and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: diseasy access to high level officials in President Trump's inner circle,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: mister Epstein's relationship with foreign leaders, including adversaries, post a
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: major national security of liability. Raskin wrote, these messages raised
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: many questions about the full extent of Jeffrey Epstein's interactions
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: with foreign governments and what information he may have fed
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: to foreign powers about the president. Well, that's legitimate, and
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I agree with that. Who knows what he was saying,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: what kind of information he was passing on, And that's
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: why it's important that the American people, for the themselves,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: get a look at all of this and in a
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: perfect world, that's what would happen, but unfortunately that is
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: not the world we live in. So all we can
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: do is keep the pressure on and until we get
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: some answers, keep those flags of discontent waving, all right,
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: everybody that's gonna do it for this one. All the
• 15:17
