so this article is from the Daily Beast. And the headline. Here's where Jeffrey Epstein donated right before his arrest. A Lithuanian ballet company. A shadowy French agency, an Italian sexual counseling group. Epstein lavished tens of thousands on these mysterious businesses. A Lithuanian ballet group, huh. I wonder why he had any interest in that. An Italian. Oh, a sha. Excuse me. A shadowy French agency. Lord only knows what that's gonna be. An Italian sexual counseling group. Uh, what? Tens of thousands of dollars on these businesses. Let's dive in and see what Kate has uncovered. In the year before his arrest for trafficking minors, Jeffrey Epstein used his shadowy foundation to lavish $891,400. $440 across a dozen non profits, including one group in France that was created shortly before Epstein's contribution. Oh, that doesn't smack of impropriety. I guess it's just a coincidence that this place popped up right before Epstein threw him some dough. Better dig a bit deeper into that. Authorities better take a look at whose name is on the Owner's slip. Epstein's gratitude. America Limited donated tens of thousands throughout 2018 to the obscure group in Paris, along with a Lithuanian ballet company, an Italian psychology group that offers psychotherapy and sexual counseling. Now, out of all of those that we're talking about here, the Lithuanian ballet company is the most disturbing in my opinion. We know that they loved girls from Eastern Europe. We know that they loved girls from war torn countries where they could dangle the carrot of success in front of them to draw them to America and into their web. And we know that a lot of girls from Eastern Europe have went unnamed. So Lord only knows what the hell they were using that ballet company for. The French group, whose name translates to association for the Promotion of Natural of National Cultural Policy conducted in the 80s and 90s 70s of the 20th century. Launched in July 2018 with $57,897 from Epstein, Public records reveal the association for the Promotion of National Cultural Policy conducted in the 80s and the 90s of the 20th century. What in the ever living f does that even mean? Why would Jeffrey Epstein be donating to that? Why would he be launching something like that? The organization lists an address in the 14th arrondissement in a building mostly occupied by doctor's offices. But the association wasn't listed among the building's buzzers and mailboxes. And it doesn't appear to have any online presence or known ownership. That, my friends, is what we call a front company. Yeah, that's right. Washing money, money laundering, moving money around. Lord only knows what they were up to at this company. Again, are the French authorities busy doing something else? Do they have no interest in the fact that this psychopath predator had many ties to France? Do they not care that Jean Luc Brunel is a huge part of what's going on here and must be brought in, folks. What is going on in France? Epstein frequently visited Paris where he owned an 8.6 million dollar apartment steps from the Arc de Triomphe. Indeed, police handcuffed the sex offender on a New Jersey tarmac just after he returned from France in July 2019. Again, France is a huge part of what's going on in this story, and there are many rocks that have been left unturned there. There needs to be a full accounting of Epstein's behavior in France. And the French authorities to this point seem like they just don't care. And I most certainly don't know anything about France, folks. All right, I'll be the first one to tell you. I don't know anything about their legal System. I don't know anything about any of it. But I will tell you this. You would think in a western country that a prolific sex trafficking operation gets, you know, popped up in your city and, and there's action going on from that hub, you would be more interested in what's going on. So I would think that there is something real fishy going on in France, folks. And obviously Epstein, Brunel and Maxwell to a certain extent are probably still receiving protection from who knows who in France. Several of Epstein's survivors claim the financier abused them in Paris, according to lawsuits filed against his estate. One survivor, Tila Davies, said Epstein flew her from Madrid to Paris where he crept into her room and raped her. In 2003, another woman, identified as Mary Doe, claimed Epstein invited her to his Parisian home and arranged for her to attend a concert accompanied by a world famous supermodel. Well, isn't that nice. Let the speculation begin, huh? A world famous supermodel, Hmm, I wonder. Now, I don't have any evidence of this, but could it be Tyra Banks? We know she was always around. Virginia Roberts, who says Epstein kept her as his sex slave, claimed Epstein and his alleged accomplice, co conspirator, fellow child molester, general all around scumbag Ghislaine Maxwell, abused her in France, too. Maxwell, who was awaiting trial in a federal prison on charges related to Epstein's teen sex trafficking ring, denies Robert's accusations. Well, she could take those denials and a couple of bucks to the corner store to get a bagel. Right, because her denials don't mean jack. Nobody believes her. The federal prosecutors don't believe her either. In fact, two of the charges Maxwell was slapped with was because she was lying. Roberts has also accused Maxwell of ordering her to have sex with the owner of a large hotel chain during one trip to France. According to a cache of recently unsealed court records, the encounter occurred around the time of Naomi Campbell's birthday party. Roberts claimed. Alright, so the owner of the large chain is Pritzker. Probably. I mean, that's the one person who's been named in the, in the document. So I'm guessing Pritzker. And also I, I said Tyra Banks earlier. I meant Naomi Campbell. So look, we know that Virginia was there. We saw the pictures, right? We saw the pictures of her at the party, et cetera. And I don't mean with Prince Andrew. I'm talking about the Naomi Campbell party. So we know that she was there for sure. That is a fact. 100% can't even assail that. And we know that Virginia has went on record and said this stuff under oath. So there needs to be a lot more looked into what occurred in France. I don't, I don't know how much more I can stress that. And obviously the United States of America only has so much power to put pressure on France to make, to engage in an investigation here. But I would think that the people of France could put their thumb on the government and force an investigation. But again, I don't really know the ins and outs of French politics to be honest with you. So in a deposition, Roberts said she had sexual contact with Maxwell in a fancy hotel overlooking the Champs Elise and that Maxwell brought in a red headed French girl after approaching her in Paris. Maxwell was allegedly trying to teach Roberts to recruit victims. Wow. So they were at this fancy hotel that overlooked the river and Maxwell thinks it's a good idea to bring in a red headed French girl to help teach Virginia how to recruit more victims for the, for the trafficking ring. I mean France is just full of stories like this. I mean we have the story of Weinstein and Epstein in France. You know, again, there needs to be a serious, serious investigation. She walked up to this French girl to show me how easy it was for her to procure girls. Roberts testified I wasn't very good at it and you know, it was part of my training to bring in other girls. So she walked up to her, within five minutes she had her number. And that girl came over later that night to the hotel and serviced Jeffrey. And it shows you how well oiled Ghislaine Maxwell had her pitch. Maxwell had everything lined up, she had everything ready to go. And she was very convincing when it came to bringing young girls and women into the Jeffrey Epstein web. Epstein's Paris apartment didn't just house victims. He invited former friends, including disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein to visit. While in Paris, Weinstein reportedly tried to assault one woman in Epstein's circle who was giving the film mogul a non sexual massage. And we know that that was the falling out from Epstein and Weinstein. As reported last September, French police asked for survivors and witnesses to come forward for their own investigation into Epstein's alleged abuse. Cops also raided Epstein's Paris apartment and the offices of Karen Models, the agency of Epstein's friend and his accused procurer of underage girls, Jean Luc Brunel. So while that all happened, nothing came from it. Right. So it was kind of like lip service. Let's raid these places. Let's go and make it look like we're going to do something, but then just forget about it because we've seen no movement in France, we've seen no one be brought in, we've seen no questioning nothing. According to Roberts, Brunel once bought three French girls from their parents as a gift to Epstein. Brunel has denied Roberts claims and any involvement with Epstein's trafficking ring. Maritza Vasquez, a former bookkeeper for Brunel's MC2 agency, claimed in 2010 deposition that Epstein and Brunel were trying to start a new company with a woman in Paris, but the venture never materialized. Epstein provided instructions to Brunel, saying that he wanted to have the same contracts as Donald Trump, vasquez added, referring to Trump's shuttered modeling agency, and that he wanted to have the same kind of benefits for the scouters, whatever that means.

the fact that these modeling agencies are so rife with this sort of abuse and with this sort of degenerate behavior from the people who are supposed to be in charge makes me sick. And honestly, I have a suspicious eye on anybody who's ever been involved in modeling, Trump included. It's absolutely just a disgusting industry that needs some serious regulation and some serious oversight. Because when people like these are able to operate freely, and not only operate freely as, like, some little, like, you know, small group, but these are people that are locked in with the most important people in modeling, and they're. They're allowed to act in this way. They're allowed to abuse these girls like nobody knew what was going on. Stop it. People were talking about Brunel and his behavior all the way back to the 80s. Meanwhile, Gratitude America bankrolled Association Mind, a psychology organization in Rome, for two years in a row, with a $25,000 donation in 2011. Excuse me. Donation in 2018, and a $60,000 donation in 2017. Association Mind did not return messages left by the Daily Beast.

So

Epstein bankrolled this psychology organization two years in a row with 85 grand total. Why in the hell would he be bankrolling a psychology organization in Rome? Another situation that most assuredly has to be looked into. Geez, that was really weird, folks. I just had a power outage here. Kind of like a quick, like, flicker of the lights, and everything went out. Thankfully, I have all of this stuff set up on mobile power right now, or else it would have just crashed the whole entire thing. So every now and then, your boy catches a break, I guess. This whole thing with Italy, though, I don't understand. Like, I don't even know. I'm gonna have to reach out to some of my people in Italy and see if anybody has ever heard of this, this company, or anything like that. According to its website, the group was born in 2015 from the idea of three young psychologists to promote knowledge of the psychological world through clinical and and training activities using different artistic and creative forms. The other international donation for $28,543 went to a ballet theater in Vilnius, Lithuania. One online directory of companies indicates the group is the Baltic Ballet Theater, which did not return an email seeking comment. How many ballet groups have these people donated to? How many different groups and organizations that have to do with children did these people donate to? And that was always their M.O. right? And you see it all the time with these sick bastards From Glenn Dubin to Jeffrey Epstein to you name it, they all hide behind their charitable works. They all hide behind the fact that they give away a bunch of money. Meanwhile, looking at the evidence that we've compiled here, all the money they've given away has been from ill gotten gains anyway. So it's not like they're even being generous. Gratitude America's money appears to have come exclusively from a $10 million donation in 2015 from investor Leon Black, whom the Attorney General of the US Virgin Islands recently subpoenaed over his relationship with Epstein. We've talked at length about Leon Black recently and again, this is bad news for Leon Black. His money funded this Gratitude America. Gratitude America was obviously a front company. So now that means Leon Black's money is involved with Jeffrey Epstein's money. Wouldn't that make him part of the criminal conspiracy? The charity created in 2012 didn't list expenditures until four years later. By then, Epstein's accountant Richard Kahn had replaced Epstein as the president of the group. The financier, pedophiles. Longtime personal attorney Darren Indyk was Vice president while US Virgin Islands tax attorney Eric Kellerhals was secretary and treasurer. Indyke and Kahn are the co executors of Epstein's more than 600 million dollar estate. So you see how entangled Kahn and Indyke are with Epstein's operation. You see how they're part of the day to day activity. How in the world can they be the executors? How in the world can they still not be facing charges? That's the question I'm asking because there is no way that these two dudes weren't involved in facilitating Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activity. Gratitude America donated to several nonprofits linked to people in Epstein's orbit, including the Junior Tennis Championship center in College Park, Maryland where next modeling agency honcho Faith, Kate's son worked. JTCC received $10,000 from Gratitude America in 2018 and $25,000 the year prior to last year. Cates would only provide a vague comment on the JTCC donation saying My son volunteered in high school and I believe they gave the donation back. So we talked about Faith Cates as well and how she is another enabler in this stupid ass modeling industry. Another person who should be looked into. I'm not even kidding when I say a very big net should be thrown over the modeling industry as a whole and there should be a comprehensive investigation, investigation into their behavior. Harvard's Hasty Pudding theater troupe received $50,000 from Epstein in 2018 and another 50,000 in 2016. As we previously reported, Selena Dubin, the daughter of Epstein's former girlfriend Eva Dubin, and her husband Glenn, who was accused of sexual misconduct by Roberts, was a member of the Hasty Pudding Institute. The Dubins have denied Robert's claims. Now remember, the Dubins were also the house where the little. The Swedish girl was at, where she was all shook from her encounters with Epstein, Maxwell and Vickers. So this, that took place in the Dubin's kitchen, and then the Swedish girl ends up as the Dubin's nanny. Sure. Sounds like she was brought there by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and told that this is what she was going to do. The Dubins, my friends, are very, very close to Jeffrey Epstein, very close to the leadership structure of this criminal enterprise. And they must also be looked at with a fine tooth comb. Everything must be gone through. Their financials, you name it. The son of Epstein's accountant, George V. Delson, who prepared tax returns for the hedge funder's defunct Couq foundation, solicited a $25,000 donation for the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey. Lawrence Delson, a professor at NYU and Fashion Institute of Technology, serves on the theater's board of trustees. Well, isn't that funny? Isn't that coincidental? And then you'll see all of these people, when they're questioned about this, are going to say, well, we were, we weren't close to Jeffrey Epstein. We, you know, we didn't really know him. Come on, our relationship wasn't that tight. And we know that's bullshit, right? We know it's a bunch of nonsense at this point. We know that all of these people were in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit. We know that they were all hanging out doing business with each other. And the second you start doing business with him, the second you start receiving funds from him, that puts you in a new category. That puts you as someone who has received ill gotten gains from a criminal enterprise. Therefore, your assets should be seized and you should be investigated as well under rico. Bonnie Monti, the theater's artistic director, said her organization knew nothing about the anonymous donor. How many times have we heard that BS too? Lawrence did solicit the donation, which we did not know anything about. Monty told the Daily Beast. We did try to do some research to find out where it came from. We never knew who the anonymous donor was until over a year later. After Jeffrey Epstein's death, Monty said she looked online, but could only find an unrelated Florida based veterans charity called Gratitude America. Well, I'll Give props to Bonnie Monti here for at least responding to the Daily Beast's question. How many times do we see the no comment nonsense from these people? So at least credit for that. But as far as taking this donation from Jeffrey Epstein, Bad news Bears, I don't, you know, I'm obviously, I don't know anything about this company, but they should probably donate that money somewhere else. Delson, who didn't return messages, told Monty, in the interest of transparency, in case anybody asks, that 25,000 came from one of Epstein's foundations. I said, who is Jeffrey Epstein? Monty recalled replying, adding that she was horrified to learn who Epstein was and figured it was good his money was going to charity. Well, good, because nobody should be getting that. Any of these ill gotten gains, by the way, should be directed right back into the estate and the survivors should be up to get that money as well because all of these ill gotten gains. How many people enrich themselves off of it? We know that at Sarah, Kellen, Vickers and Groff and the Core four did, but how many other people? The latest tax filings for Epstein's charity also reveal a $500,000 donation to the Kuhn foundation, which received $150,000 from Epstein in 2017. CNBC previously revealed Epstein agreed to provide $1.4 million in funding for a PBS science show created by Robert Kuhn called Closer to the Truth. That show never got off the ground due to lack of funding following Epstein's suicide. Allegedly. We talked about that a long time ago about that show and how Jeffrey Epstein was the benefactor of it and how after Epstein died, Kuhn wasn't able to launch the show because of the funding. And how many people, how many of these scientists had their hand in Jeffrey Epstein's pocket? How many scientists that we don't even know about, folks. And the scariest thing to me about that is what the hell sort of projects were these people working on that Jeffrey Epstein had access to? That's something nobody really talks about. You know, we talk about the blackmail angle, et cetera, et cetera. But how many of these scientists were working on top secret, classified or otherwise deemed private projects that Epstein gained access to because of his money and the blackmail? I think it's a. I think there's something real big there. Kuhn told CNBC he met Epstein multiple times in New York and that a group of scientists which had declined to name introduced them. Kuhn claimed he didn't know about the sexual abuse accusations against Epstein, which he described as totally reprehensible. He Added it is an example of the corruption of power. Distorts your own reality and then exercises this power over people who are psychologically defenseless. Again, another guy who knew nothing. Epstein didn't know you. He was just going to give you a $1.4 million, huh? Mr. Coon, nobody buys it, okay? I'm not believing that either. Epstein funded a slew of other organizations he's backed over the years, including $25,000 donation to the new school, 10,000 to the Crohn's and Colitis foundation, and 35,000 to the Edge Foundation, a society of science and tech intellectuals which hosted the exclusive billionaires dinner the Epstein attended. And that was all put together by John Brockman. John Brockman is a book publisher involved in a lot of publishing of books, of scientists, et cetera, et cetera. And they had this thing called the Edge foundation where it was for all of these so called super smart people to go and hang out, you know, an old boys club pretty much. And it was at that Edge foundation where Jeffrey Epstein met a bunch of people. What's going on everyone? It's bluff here and we're driving through the states in the Bluff mobile.

humanity Plus, a Los Angeles based nonprofit which says it's dedicated to elevating the human condition through technology, received $100,000 from Epstein in 2018. The group previously operated as the World Transhumanist association, which received 20,000 from another Epstein Epstein group in 2011. Well, we know that Jeffrey Epstein had a fascination with transhumanism. We know that he also wanted to seed the world with his DNA. In conclusion, we can also determine that he was batshit effin crazy. In a statement on its website, Humanity plus said Gratitude America did not include Epstein's name on the donation. This donation of $100,000 was put to a good cause, as evidenced in Humanity Plus Tax Schedule B, part that states the donation was granted to educational research and development of artificial intelligence, the ethical use of AI, and increasing awareness of how AI can benefit humanity, the group said. Yeah, sure. So basically what they're telling us is they were working on Skynet. What's next? We're going to have a computer with Jeffrey Epstein's essence in it? I mean, these people are crazy. This transhumanism, the whole AI realm, all of these people need to be watched closely because they're going to really screw things up at some point. And if we reach the point of singularity, we are absolutely screwed. The AI research is diametrically opposed to the exploitive and abusive behaviors of Mr. Epstein that were recently revealed in the news. At the time we accepted this donation From Gratitude America Limited, Humanity plus had no knowledge of Mr. Epstein's horrific alleged criminal activity. And we strongly condemn it. Yeah, because you can't even do a simple Google search to take a look. Give me a break, man. Everybody knew who Epstein was, alright? Even if it was just in passing. You mean to tell me that these super smart scientists don't know how to use Google? In 2018, Gratitude America also donated $25,000 to the cancer Research Wellness Institute, a California nonprofit founded by the late Howard Strauss, who was the son of alternative cancer therapy Dr. Max Gerson. Epstein's charity shelled out 75 grand to CRWI the year before. You see the web, right, how this all works? Oh, the little nudge to the ribs with the elbow. Oh, yeah, you donate to my charity and I'll donate to yours. And it's all just one big shell game where they wash their money. Before he died in June 2019, Strauss told the Daily Beast in an email that he'd never heard of Gratitude America or Epstein, and that he personally thanks donors no matter the size of their contributions. A donation of that size would be the single largest donation we've ever seen, and believe me, we'd notice, strauss wrote. I am president of CRWI and can assure you we have never received a donation of that magnitude from anyone. I would know, strauss said. We are parentally short of funds and would love to be the recipient of such largesse. But not from sexual predators, Strauss added, before apparently referring to Trump like the Orange Shit Gibbon or his imitators. The orange shit given. Got to admit, you get an A for creativity from me on that one. It's usually just Orange man bad. But the orange shit given, that's actually pretty funny. I don't care what side of the aisle you sit on, it's actually pretty funny. All right, so look, what this establishes, folks, is that Jeffrey Epstein, even after his death, I mean, even after his conviction, was still throwing all sorts of money around and people were still accepting it. So when these idiots, these liars, these snakes, these enablers try and run that bullshit on you, that they had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was, what he was about, or what he was involved in, you could look them directly in the eye, put a smirk on your face, and tell them that they're lying.

All of the links that go with this episode can be found in the description box. I will be back later. What we're going to do today is we're going to go back to July 11th of 2019, a Business Insider article and it the headline, well, here are all the politicians. Jeffrey Epstein, the money manager. Money manager, right. Well, that's great. Money manager arrested on charges of sex trafficking, has donated to. So we're going to put on blast all the people he's donated to, all the politicians that it's on record that he's donated money to. We're going to talk about in this article. So without further ado, let's dive right in. If you'd like to contact me, you can do that@bobby capuchirotonmail.com that's B O B B Y C A P U C c I@protonmail.com to the article we read the headline, so let's get right to it. Jeffrey Epstein, the financier pedophile charged with sex trafficking of underage girls, was once a major political donor. Since 1990, Epstein has donated $147,426 to various Democrats and $18,250 to Republicans, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Chuck Schumer, Bill Clinton, George H.W. bush and Bob Dole each received thousands of In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to felony sexual solicitation of underage girls. Epstein continued to make donations after he was released from an 18th, 18 month jail term. Some politicians, including the disgraced former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer and retired Senator Chris Dodd, returned Epstein's donations as accusations of the financiers, pedophiles wrongdoings became public. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also returned a $10,000 gift from Epstein three days after receiving it in 2018, according to the Daily Beast. Well, that's good. At least they returned the money. But the question is, why would Epstein feel comfortable giving it to them in the first place? Delegate Stacy Plaskett, who represents the US Virgin Islands and the House of Representatives, accepted donations from Epstein after he registered as a sex offender. Epstein made the maximum individual contribution, $5,400, to Plaskett's reelection campaign in 2016, the Daily Beast reported. Plaskett's district includes St. Thomas, where Epstein's firm is incorporated, and Epstein's private island. Epstein also donated $2,700 to Plaskett in 2018. Epstein sent $10,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in October, only to have the money returned to him three days later. Without second thought. The DCC immediately refunded this unsolicited donation, a DCCC spokesperson told the Daily Beast. Epstein gave so much to Gwendolyn Beck, an independent running for Congress from Connecticut in 2014, that he violated the Federal Election Commission's individual contribution limit. Just tack on another law for him to break. If you or I were to do that, though, or Dinesh d', Souza, you're going to end up in prison. Epstein donated a total of $12,600 to Beck, $2,600 directly to Beck's campaign, in addition to two donations of $5,000 each to two political groups supporting that candidate. Records from the Federal Election Commission show the fec. The FEC declined to prosecute. Oh, of course they did. Of course they did. They're not going to prosecute him for that. His handlers are. All of his handlers were like, look, step back. Really? You're going to prosecute him for money crimes? We're all grifting over here. Come on. Everybody's eating at the trough. Epstein donated $50,000 to former New York Governor Elliot Spitzer in 2006. Spitzer returned the funds later that year. According to Reuters, Spitzer was in office for 15 months before resigning amid allegations of soliciting sex from prostitutes, CNN reported. And that Spitzer case is pretty weird, right? He's one of these guys that. He was a darling, one of the darlings, and he ended up really falling off. But I don't. I'm not too familiar with the Spitzer situation, honestly. But I don't think it was with underage girls. Right. So I guess there's some gray area with his story I'm not willing to just condemn him for. You know, if he was. If the girls were actual prostitutes who were doing it of their own will, and there are. There are girls like that, then, you know, whatever two consenting adults do is not my business, really. John Kerry received $4,000 from Epstein between 1991 and 2002. Epstein made four separate gifts of $1,000 each to Kerry, according to center for Responsive Politics. Note, it doesn't say if Kerry returned the money or what he did with it. I guess that's a good question and something we should probably bring up. Retired Senator Chris Dodd returned $1,000 donation from Epstein in 2006. Epstein made the donation to Dodd's reelection campaign in 2003. According to the center for Responsive Politics. Epstein donated a total of $7,000 to Senate Minority Leader Chucky Schumer. Schumer received seven separate donations of $1,000 each from Schumer. Each. Excuse me. Schumer received seven separate donations of one thousand dollars each from Epstein in 92, 95, and 97, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Doesn't mention if he returned it or not. I believe Chuck Schumer's office made a statement saying they did donate a similar amount to charity. I don't want to. Oh, I have had no luck lately.

want to damn the man and his office if they did that. So I believe that he did return the money, but it doesn't say in this article. Former President George H.W. bush received $1,000 from Epstein. Epstein made a single donation to Bush's unsuccessful 1992 re election campaign. According to the center for Responsive Politics. Epstein also donated $2,000 to support Bill Clinton in 1992, who defeated Bush. Epstein made two separate donations in Clinton's campaign in 1992, one in January and one in June, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Epstein also donated $25,000 to the Clinton foundation in 2006, Reuters reported. Clinton said in a statement that he also took four trips on Epstein's private jet in connection with his work for the Clinton foundation, but that he knows nothing about the terrible crimes Epstein was charged with. What? Let's back up here. Jay Lefkowitz is on record saying that Jeffrey Epstein launched the Clinton foundation with a 4 million dollar stipend to get things going. And if you're not familiar with Jay Lefkowitz, look him up. And so I think that again, why is there so much shade around Bill Clinton and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Why is everybody so uncomfortable trying to find out what's there? I don't see what the problem is. There's a lot of evidence, folks, a ton of evidence that at the very least, Bill Clinton's a witness, just like Prince Andrew. So can we turn that heat up a little bit? Can we make sure that people are. If he's sitting. If they're sitting down for an interview, don't you think it's important to ask them? Hey, have you. Look, look, we don't. We want you to clear the record. Have you or haven't you ever been to the Zorro ranch? We have people saying that he was. Bill Clinton, in a statement, said that he's never been there. According to these people, though, these sources on the ground that were at the ranch, Jared Kellogg and others, well, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and their daughter were there in the Western world portion. So I think that we need to see a little bit more there, a little more digging, and a little bit more abrasiveness from the media, for sure. But in the 1996 election, Epstein supported Clinton's opponent, Bob Dole. Epstein donated $1,250 to Dole. Epstein gave Dole $1,000 in March 1995, followed by another $250 that October. According to the center for Responsive Politics. Dole, the Republican nominee, lost the election to Clinton. Epstein also tried to donate more than $4,000 to former Senator Jeff Bingham, a Democrat from New Mexico, but Bingham returned some of it. Oh, Bingham. And excuse me. Bingamon received $4,073 from Epstein in three separate donations on December 17, 1993. Bingamon returned $2,073 to Epstein that same day, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Epstein donated another thousand dollars to Bingham in October of 1994. I wonder why he was donating to all these people in New Mexico. Just because he's a nice guy, I guess, right? Probably. It has nothing to do with. He's trying to spread around the love so he gets a little bit of favor, huh? Epstein made three separate donations of $1,000 to Joseph Lieberman in 1994 and 1999, according to the center of Responsive Politics. Former Senator Tom McMillan, a Democrat from Maryland, received $3,000 from Epstein. Epstein donated $1,000 to McMillan in 1990 and $2,000 in 1992, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Retired Senator Alphonse D', Amato, a New York Republican, received $2,000 from Epstein. Epstein made two donations of $1,000 each. In 1992 and 1997, according to the center for Responsive Politics, the New Mexico Democrat John J. Kelly received $2,000 from Epstein for his unsuccessful congressional bid. Shocking. More New Mexico ties, huh? And you notice these are only. He's only wet in the beak of people that. That can help him. People that are in the states that he has one of his disgusting house of horrors at right. Epstein made two donations of $1,000 each to Kelly. Okay, we got that one. Epstein gave former U.S. representative Rick Lazio, a Republican from New York 2nd district, $2,000. Epstein made two donations of $1,000 each to Lazio. In 1996, according to the center for Responsive Politics. Epstein gave $2,000 to former U.S. representative Wayne Owens, a Utah Democrat. In 1990, Owens received two $1,000 donations from Epstein. According to the center for Responsive politics, Epstein donated $1,000 to Bob Packwood. In 1991, Epstein made a single donation to Packwood, a Republican senator from Oregon. According to the center for Responsive Politics, Packwood resigned from the Senate in 1995 following allegations of sexual harassment, according to the New York Times. Yeah, what a. Another one of these pillars of the community over on the right. Another one of these loudmouths who talk about, oh, I believe in, you know, conservative beliefs and conservative principles, but meanwhile, they're sexually abusing people, using congressional. I mean, money from the public to hide their congressional abuses with people. You know, there's no difference between either side of the aisle. All of these people are in on it. Epstein donated $2,000 to the Delaware Democrat Charles Oberle III for his unsuccessful Senate bid in 1994. Epstein made two donations to Oberly. According to the center for Responsive Politics, Epstein donated $5,000 to former Senator Timothy Worth, a Democrat from Colorado. In 1991, Epstein made a sole donation of $500 to Wirth. According to the center for Responsive Politics, former New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, a Democrat, received $2,000 from Epstein in 1998. Moynihan returned $1,000, half of the donation to Epstein seven months later, according to the center for Responsive Politics. So what, were they short on cash? They couldn't cover the other thousand, so he spent it. Oh, we spent it. We can't return it because, you know, we already spent it. What does that even mean? What does that even mean? Former Senator Mark Pryor, a Democrat from Arkansas, received $1,000 from Epstein in 2002. Epstein made a single donation to Pryor, according to the center for Responsive Politics. So what I'm taking away from this article as well, folks, is that if they say that the money wasn't returned, I guess these people kept the money. Epstein donated $1,000 to Eugene Watts, a Republican member of the Ohio State senate. And in 1993, Epstein donated to Watts once, according to the center for Responsive Politics. And there you go, folks, that's the list, but it is not inclusive. There's no Bill Richardson on the list. There's several other people that will have to add to that list as well. But what I wanted to do is make sure we got this out there. So you folks had sort of an idea of some of the donations that this guy was making. And there's a lot more. There are a lot, a lot, a lot more. Hanging out at the pool is great. Relaxing and playing Vegas style games on my phone at the same time. Drink in one hand and a blackjack in the other.

Date: August 11, 2026
This episode of The Epstein Chronicles dives deep into the suspicious donation patterns of Jeffrey Epstein in the years leading up to his arrest, detailing how he directed funds through his shadowy charity “Gratitude America” to nonprofits across the world. Host Bobby Capucci investigates the context and implications behind these donations, questioning their legitimacy and the complicity or ignorance of the institutions and individuals that received Epstein’s money. The episode draws from investigative journalism (primarily The Daily Beast and Business Insider) to reveal a troubling web of international connections spanning charities, scientific organizations, and prominent political figures from both parties.
Main Article Source: Daily Beast: “Here’s where Jeffrey Epstein donated right before his arrest.”
Year Before Arrest: Epstein funneled $891,440 across a dozen nonprofits (01:45).
Recipients: Mysterious/little-known international organizations, including:
Suspicious Motivation:
Quote:
"That, my friends, is what we call a front company. Yeah, that's right. Washing money, money laundering, moving money around. Lord only knows what they were up to at this company."
— Bobby Capucci (04:07)
Quote:
"I would think that there is something real fishy going on in France, folks. And obviously Epstein, Brunel and Maxwell to a certain extent are probably still receiving protection from who knows who in France."
— Bobby Capucci (04:31)
Notable Story:
Virginia Roberts recounted being “trained” by Maxwell in Paris to recruit victims, with Maxwell demonstrating how to approach and procure girls on the street (08:09).
Quote:
"There should be a comprehensive investigation into their behavior... these are people that are locked in with the most important people in modeling, and they're allowed to act in this way... People were talking about Brunel and his behavior all the way back to the 80s."
— Bobby Capucci (14:36)
Quote:
"What's next? We're going to have a computer with Jeffrey Epstein's essence in it? I mean, these people are crazy. This transhumanism, the whole AI realm, all of these people need to be watched closely because they're going to really screw things up at some point."
— Bobby Capucci (29:51)
Quote:
"He was only wetting the beak of people that could help him... People that are in the states that he has one of his disgusting house of horrors in. Just because he's a nice guy, I guess, right?"
— Bobby Capucci (41:18)
Quote:
"Everybody knew who Epstein was, alright? Even if it was just in passing. You mean to tell me these super smart scientists don't know how to use Google?"
