Foreign the most corrupt president in the history of the United States also has the most corrupt administration, which is absolutely no surprise. So we have now learned, reported by the Wall Street Journal, that Donald Trump was told by Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche in May that he appeared in the Epstein files. So the headline is Justice Department told Trump in. His name is among many in the Epstein file. Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president at the meeting that the department also decided not to release more Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims. Which Pam Bondi saying she wants to protect victims after the sweetheart deal that Jeffrey Epstein got while she was the Attorney General of Florida in is laughable. And Todd Blanch, who has known all along what Trump's involvement is going to interview Ghisain Maxwell on behalf of the Justice Department is just absolutely ridiculous. We also learned from the Daily Beast, a lawyer who has represented over 200 victims of Jeffrey Epstein says the existence of, of the book given to the sex offender for his 50th birthday is an absolute fact. And I find all this interesting because, you know, there, there's a big push at the Justice Department to interview Ghislaine Maxwell and get her to tell us what she knows, particularly about Trump. Well, here's the deal. He's the only person that can pardon her, so she's going to minimize his involvement and all the people he hates. She's going to go hard in the paint that they were bad and which they're all bad. I'm not defending Democrats that appear on this list, but the defense attorneys know, the victims know, they know what's in this file. They know what the evidence is. So the Department of Justice is in a real pickle. And just to remind everyone, Donald Trump said he'd been briefed, but he didn't. His, his name, you know, he didn't know that his name was in the files. So let's go back to last week when Donald Trump was saying, oh, well, they briefed me briefly, but you know, I'm not in the files. They didn't tell me I was in the file. We have this and there's a report I was told about the Epstein Trump story published today six days ago, multiple outlets held it back in order to get Trump to publicly deny it first before dropping the bomb. I am also told that a third story is in the works related to the Trump Epstein, and it's likely a bombshell. And this is what I find interesting. Donald Trump, I think if you asked him and said you're not in the Epstein files because you weren't a big enough player to be in the Epstein files because that was like where the real players were. He'd probably admit it because his ego is unable to be satiated. So then let's hear it straight from the horse's mouth. What does Jeffrey Epstein say about his relationship with Donald Trump?
Jeffrey Epstein
Had a personal relationship with Donald Trump.
Interrogator

Okay, that's the ball game. That's the ball game. Jeffrey Epstein pleads the Fifth in a sworn deposition about Donald Trump and him with young girls. That's the ball game. We see all this evidence, you know, we want to talk to Ghislaine Maxwell. We want to look at the files. Of course we all want to do that. But Jeffrey Epstein pled the fifth. And in a civil case, when you plead the fifth, it's assumed that you're guilty. So Donald Trump is sitting around throwing every distraction in the book. You know, Obama, Hillary Clinton's on tranquil ers. Who gives a. We're talking about you. We're talking about your relationship with a pedophile and you know it. And that why you are so scared. And we have just now received a copy of the subpoena signed by James Comer to for a deposition to be taken of Galain Maxwell August 11th at the Correctional facility where she is currently held. And she is going to be deposed by the committee. Interesting that James Comer is ahead of the Oversight Committee. He's the ranking member. He's the only one that can sign the subpoena. But he had to do it because Republicans united with Democrats to get this done. And I'm going to go on record again. I don't think Ghislaine Maxwell is going to throw Trump under the bus, even though she could. I think she would lie to protect him because he's the only person that can pardon her and get her out of a 20 year jail sentence. But who we should all be thanking is Robert Garcia. He is the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee and he says we just won a forced subpoena of the Epstein files. 82 in our oversight Dems subcommittee. This will force Chairman Comer to issue the subpoena. This is an enormous win for Oversight Democrats. This is what's important to me because Ghislaine Maxwell, there's no way to verify what she's saying. Oh, Donald Trump wasn't in there. So then does Congress go and interview all these witnesses? Maria Farmer, who's come forward and said, yes, I reported Donald Trump to the FBI twice and other people that were victims of Trump and Epstein. In this charade of. Now, Ghislaine Maxwell is going to tell us the truth. As you get older, you realize you.

Robert Garcia is getting down to the nut kitten. He's saying, I want to see the files. And the subpoena is for unredacted records, no redactions. Now that is incumbent upon these members of Congress to protect the victims, but there should be zero redactions in this response to the subpoena because that is what the subpoena says. We'll see. Will the Justice Department comply? Will they continue in the corruption and the illegal cover up of the Epstein matter for their dear leader? We're getting ready to find out because this subpoena has now got to be issued by James Comer. And I'm sure after the Hunter laptop embarrassment for him, it's going to be like vinegar when he signs this subpoena. But he has no choice. He has to sign the subpoena. You know, we'll see when the records come because Mike Johnson shut down Congress. But you know, we're seeing all these distractions from, from Trump and there's someone Rick Wilson, I think he is an excellent commentator. He's been in the belly of the beast. And this, these are his thoughts on the distraction that Donald Trump and his administration are currently playing.
Rick Wilson
A brilliant man, but he has a certain degree of feral cunning about things that endanger him personally or legally or politically. He has a sense, he has a keen sense of those things. He senses that the Epstein matter is so devastating that if it fully comes to light that, you know, it was so, it was so devastating that he sent 1,000 FBI agents to scrape through every single piece of information that the DOJ had to ensure his name, that they knew everything that was there. This is a guy who acts guilty, sounds guilty, looks guilty, smells guilty, and all these distractions he's trying to throw out there. You know, the important part about this Russia investigation, this accusation about Barack Obama and Jim Comey and all these things is not anything to do with Russia. It's to do with Jeffrey Epstein.

This is, it's all about Jeffrey Epstein. And here's the thing. I give Donald Trump zero credit. He's a criminal. He is a convicted felon. He is a convicted fraudster. He can't run a business because he's bankrupted at six times. He has an adjudicated sexual assault on his record. He has defamed the woman that he assaulted. There have been claims throughout his adult life that he sexually assaults women. He's Mr. Grab him by the. So my bar for him is so low. It is so low what I think this man would do. But the fact that he is so scared of what's in the Epstein file, I believe, I can't even imagine how bad it is because if it wasn't terrible, he would not be reacting the way that he is. He would. Like Rick Wilson said, I believe Donald Trump, he is not a smart man, he is not an intellectual man, but he is self preservation on steroids and he is reptilian in his ability to stay alive when everybody counts him out. And this is his Achilles heel. He knows what's in there. Pam Bondi knows what's in there. Todd Blanche knows what's in there. But it must be so bad the way he is responding. And hopefully we will actually get to see that information. We will get to see the investigation. Hopefully Galaine Maxwell will testify truthfully. But I doubt it. I mean, seriously, no one has more reason to lie for Donald Trump right now than Galaine Maxwell. And Pam Bondi works for him. So that tells you all you need to know.

IHIP News: Trump in Hiding After Bombshell – He's on the Epstein List, Dems Force Evidence to Be Released
Release Date: July 24, 2025
Hosts: Jennifer Welch & Angie “Pumps” Sullivan
In this explosive episode of IHIP News, hosts Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan delve deep into the latest revelations linking former President Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Set against the backdrop of a red state, the progressive podcasters unpack the political and legal turmoil surrounding Trump's alleged presence in the infamous Epstein files. Their approach is both comedic and incisive, aiming to shed light on the complexities of the ongoing scandal.
From the outset, Jennifer Welch doesn't mince words regarding Trump's integrity and administration:
Jennifer Welch ([00:00]): "The most corrupt president in the history of the United States also has the most corrupt administration, which is absolutely no surprise."
The discussion centers around a recent Wall Street Journal report revealing that Trump was informed by Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche in May about his name appearing in the Epstein files. Welch critiques Bondi's rationale for withholding further Epstein documents, highlighting the irony given Bondi's previous dealings with Epstein:
Jennifer Welch ([00:00]): "Attorney General Pam Bondi told the president at the meeting that the department also decided not to release more Epstein documents because of the presence of child pornography and the need to protect victims. Which Pam Bondi saying she wants to protect victims after the sweetheart deal that Jeffrey Epstein got while she was the Attorney General of Florida is laughable."
Welch also references a Daily Beast report where a lawyer representing over 200 Epstein victims confirms the existence of a book given to Epstein for his 50th birthday, emphasizing the growing body of evidence against Trump.
A pivotal moment in the episode is the inclusion of excerpts from Jeffrey Epstein's sworn deposition, where he addresses his relationship with Trump:
Jennifer Welch ([03:40]): "Jeffrey Epstein pleads the Fifth in a sworn deposition about Donald Trump and him with young girls. That's the ball game."
Epstein's refusal to answer questions about socializing with Trump in the presence of underage females adds fuel to Welch's argument about the potential implicating evidence against the former president.
The hosts shift focus to the forthcoming deposition of Ghislaine Maxwell, highlighting a significant move by Democrats to unearth more details from the Epstein case:
Jennifer Welch ([07:43]): "Robert Garcia is getting down to the nut kitten. He's saying, I want to see the files. And the subpoena is for unredacted records, no redactions."
Welch praises Robert Garcia, the ranking member on the House Oversight Committee, for securing a forced subpoena for the Epstein files, portraying it as a major victory for Oversight Democrats:
Jennifer Welch ([07:43]): "This is an enormous win for Oversight Democrats. This is what's important to me because Ghislaine Maxwell, there's no way to verify what she's saying."
She expresses skepticism about Maxwell's willingness to testify truthfully, suggesting her loyalty to Trump may influence her testimony:
Jennifer Welch ([07:43]): "I don't think Ghislaine Maxwell is going to throw Trump under the bus, even though she could. I think she would lie to protect him because he's the only person that can pardon her and get her out of a 20-year jail sentence."
Introducing external perspectives, Welch features insights from commentator Rick Wilson:
Rick Wilson ([09:08]): "This is a guy who acts guilty, sounds guilty, looks guilty, smells guilty, and all these distractions he's trying to throw out there."
Wilson emphasizes the significance of the Epstein investigation over other political controversies, suggesting that the focus should remain on uncovering the truth about Epstein's activities and Trump's involvement.
Welch builds on this analysis, painting a grim picture of Trump's legal and moral standing:
Jennifer Welch ([09:54]): "He is a convicted felon. He is a convicted fraudster. He can't run a business because he's bankrupted at six times. He has an adjudicated sexual assault on his record."
She argues that Trump's fear of the Epstein files indicates the gravity of the information contained within them:
Jennifer Welch ([09:54]): "The fact that he is so scared of what's in the Epstein file, I believe, I can't even imagine how bad it is because if it wasn't terrible, he would not be reacting the way that he is."
Jennifer Welch wraps up the episode by expressing cautious optimism about the unfolding investigation:
Jennifer Welch ([09:54]): "Hopefully we will actually get to see that information. We will get to see the investigation. Hopefully, Ghislaine Maxwell will testify truthfully. But I doubt it."
She underscores the critical role of congressional actions in unveiling the truth and holding accountable those implicated in the Epstein scandal. The hosts leave listeners anticipating further developments as the legal battle intensifies.
