What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. If you listen to the DOJ and the Trump administration, they'll tell you that they're the most transparent administration NDOJ in the history of the country and that as far as Jeffrey Epstein goes, there's nothing left to see here and it's time to just move on. And in fact, the whole entire thing is nothing but a hoax. But at the same time, the DOJ and the administration is not only withholding files that are related to President Trump, they're deleting files that have already been released that are related to President Trump. And if you're wondering why people are calling it a cover up, this is why. The DOJ and the administration, they're not doing themselves any favors. Every time you turn around, you it looks like they're advancing their cover up a little bit further and laughing at us the whole entire time. So in this episode, we're going to dive into an article from NPR discussing how these files have been withheld and some of them removed. Headline Justice Department withheld and removed some Epstein files related to Trump. This article was authored by Stephen Fowler. The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds. It also removed some documents from the public database where accusations against Jeffrey Epstein also mentioned Trump. Now, look, I've said from the jump that we haven't seen any real evidence here, anything that would hold up in court that point us to Bill Clinton or Donald Trump actually engaging in abuse. Now, there have been some allegations against Trump that have been made and frankly, I don't trust the FBI when they say they investigated, because how can you at this point? But that said, it's about what we can prove in court. And certainly there's nothing here that we've seen so far that we could use in court and say, hey, look, so and so was doing this and at this time, at this place, to this person. But there's certainly a bunch of allegations, and there is no way that those allegations should be hidden, especially if it's a court case, a court document, something that was, you know, set under oath, or if it was a statement given to the police or the FBI, certainly something that should be looked at. Now, does that mean I believe everything that comes in? Most certainly not. I've told you from the beginning not to fall for side quests, but the DOJ and Donald Trump himself, they're not doing themselves any favors when they hide documents. When they pull things down, all you do is further the suspicion. Right. Because the biggest problem for Trump right now is that this is an act of COVID up. And how many times have we seen people go down for the COVID up instead of the crime? So that's certainly something that Donald Trump needs to keep in mind and everybody in the administration, honestly. Because if you think that this is going away and that questions aren't gonna be asked of people that were in the middle of this during this cover up, you're crazy. This is only just beginning. And I know that Donald Trump and the administration and all the stands want it to be over and want us to move on, but we're not going to. Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor. Well, according to the law, that should be released. Her name should be redacted and it should be released. But the DOJ thinks they can do whatever they want. Oh, we'll just, you know, go in here and we'll get rid of Trump's name every single place we possibly can. Did they think they were going to get away with that? No, they knew they wouldn't. They didn't care. That's what it comes down to. And I think that's what makes me so mad. These MFers are literally looking us in the face and giving us the double middle finger. NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers appearing before and after the pages in question stamped onto the documents in the Epstein database. FBI case records, emails and discovery document logs in the Latest tranche of documents published at the end of January. NPR's investigation found dozens of pages that appear to be cataloged by the Justice Department but not shared publicly. And they'll have some explanation, right? Oh, it's national security. Oh, we couldn't tell you about this or that. But that's not what the law says. And at some point, the people who decided to do this are going to be held accountable. The Justice Department declined to answer NPR's questions on the record about these specific files. What's in them and why they are not published. Why would they, why would they give you any kind of inside look, especially in the middle of a cover up? The last thing they want to do is talk about it. Other files scrub from public view, pertain to a separate woman who was a key witness for the prosecution in the criminal trial of Epstein's co conspirator, Glenn Maxwell, who is serving a 20 year prison sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell is seeking clemency from Trump. What I thought would never happen probably will now with the way Trump is going and how there is some support for his nonsense amongst his most ardent supporters. I wouldn't be shocked to see Trump release Glenn Maxwell followed directly by a PR campaign by the very same people who were given those white binders. That's the kind of life we're living. That's the kind of reality that we're living in. And these people are shameless. How many of those people that got those binders give a God damn about any of this? How many of them have ever talked to any of the survivors, have read court documents, have done anything that would warrant them being given those binders in the first place. And I told you at the time it was a psyop. I knew it was the beginning of the end. And those will be the people that come out the loudest, the strongest, and with the most passion in their voices to defend Donald Trump if he pardons Glenn Maxwell? And I wouldn't even be shocked to see Galan Maxwell hit the circuit and get on the podcast. Benny Johnson's new co host, Ghislaine Maxwell. It would be fitting, right? Or maybe Ghislaine Maxwell can head out with Nick Shirley on his next investigation. And I'm only half kidding when I say that some of those documents were briefly taken down and put back online last week, while others remain hidden. According to NPR's comparison of initial data set from January 30th with document metadata of those files currently on the Justice Department's website. NPR does not name victims of sexual abuse. Well, that's a good idea. Maybe the DOJ should take some notes from npr. When asked for comment about the missing pages and the accusations against the president, a White House spokeswoman told NPR that Trump has done more for Epstein victims than anyone before him. Yo, this is just too much. What exactly has Donald Trump done? I mean, he sent out Luna to drop a hand grenade in the middle of everything and call all the survivors traffickers, and she still hasn't clarified her statement yet. She's out here talking all kinds of crazy about this. That the other thing, she has no idea what she's talking about. Then again, we shouldn't expect anything from somebody who thinks that there is, quote unquote, interdimensional beings that are aliens. Literally what she believes. But sure, she's gonna get us to the promised land when it comes to Epstein and this investigation. It's truly bizarre. This lady has no idea what she's even talking about and she's out here framing everybody as a human trafficker. And she made those comments not on the congressional floor. So she opens herself up to a lawsuit if these survivors want to sue her. And I'll tell you what, if I was a survivor, I'd think about it because her commentary has led to a bunch of morons running with it and saying a bunch of reckless bullshit. Just as President Trump has said. He's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told NPR in a statement. Yo, if you believe that, you're dumb. As the day is long, all Trump has done is implicate himself in the COVID up. Is Abigail Jackson okay? Did she fall and hit her head before giving this interview? Was she hanging out in the sauna with Hillbilly Vanilli, I mean, Kid Rock and rfk rocking some jeans and taking a dip? Because I don't know where you come up with this kind of ludicrous statement unless you're suffering from cte. And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee subpoena request, signing the Epstein files Transparency act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends. President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him. Meanwhile, Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries and Stacy Plaskett have yet to explain why they were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender. Well, she's not wrong about that. Stacy Plasket needs to answer some questions. I mean, there's no doubt that Stacy Plasket and Jeffrey Epstein were very close and that Jeffrey Epstein was giving her a ton of money. And that's just reality, folks. So it has to be uniform, right? If we're going to go after one person, everybody, every single person that was involved, every person that enabled this, every co conspirator and everybody covering it up, all those people have to be outed. And I assure you, nobody has been exonerated. The White House has previously pointed to a statement from the Justice Department that says Epstein files contain untrue and sensationalist claims about the President.

Well, yeah, I'm sure there are some. No doubt about it. Donald Trump isn't, you know, Satan himself. And this isn't all about Donald Trump. But the COVID up portion is he's the one behind the sticks, right? He's in control of this whole cover up. And in my opinion, that's going to be Donald Trump's undoing. When all is said and done and there's a real investigation into this, there is no doubt that it's going to find that this has been covered up. But make no mistake, this isn't just Trump's cover up. This goes all the way back to Clinton. Clinton knew what Jeffrey Epstein was. I don't care what he says now. We can't prove that. But he knew. Maria Farmer told everybody in 96. So don't tell me they didn't know. They knew, they didn't care. That's what it comes down to. And that's my biggest problem. The federal government has never done the right thing here. They've never stepped up, they've never investigated and they've never held anyone Accountable. So nobody, including President Trump, is exonerated. In a letter to members of Congress on February 14, first reported by Politico, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche insist that no records were withheld or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary, which is a lie. Like, they just continue to lie to us at this huge clip, and there's no repercussions. Nobody can do anything, nobody can stop them, and they just have unchecked power, I guess, and I know people don't want to hear that, but it's true. Not only are they breaking the law, they're laughing at us. In the last two weeks, as lawmakers have begun to review unredacted copies of the Epstein files, members of both parties have criticized the way the Trump administration has handled the release of the files. They have also continued to accuse the Justice Department of violating the law and operating without transparency in redacting information. And I think all of that's true. I think all of that's true. And the fact that they keep hiding it and they keep obfuscating the actual truth just adds more credence to the fact that, in my opinion, this is nothing but a giant cover up. According to the newly released files, the FBI internally circulated Epstein related allegations that mentioned Trump in late July and early August of 2025. The list collected from the FBI's National Threat Operations center, included numerous salacious allegations. Agents mark most of the accusations as unverifiable or not credible. And look, I'm sure the vast majority were not verifiable or credible. I'm sure of it. But why are you redacting the information? Why aren't you releasing it to the American public? That's the question. That's what the law called for. Not for you to hide shit, not for you to obfuscate, and not for you to tell us what we can and can't see. But one lead was sent to the FBI's Washington office with the purpose of setting up an interview with with the accuser. The lead was included in an internal PowerPoint slide deck detailing prominent names in the Epstein and Maxwell investigation. Last fall, the woman who directly named Trump in her abuse allegation claimed that around 1983, when she was around 13, Epstein introduced her to Trump, who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis, which she subsequently bit. In response, Trump punched her in the head and. And kicked her out. Now, look, I have no idea if any of that's true. No clue. But what I will tell you is this. If it's part of the files, we should have seen it. There's no excuse for keeping that out. Out of more than 3 million pages of files released by the Justice Department in recent months, this specific allegation against Trump only appears in copies of the FBI list of claims and the DOJ slideshow. But a review of FBI case file logs and discovery documents turned over to Maxwell and her attorneys in the criminal case against her point to one place the claim could have come from and how serious investigators took it. The FBI interviewed this Trump and Epstein accuser four times. That is according to an FBI serial report and a list of non testifying witness material in the Maxwell case that were also released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Only the first interview, conducted July 24, 2019, is in the public database. And that interview doesn't name Trump. Of 15 documents listed in a log of the Maxwell discovery material for the first accuser, only seven are in the Epstein files database. Those missing also include notes that accompany three of the interviews. The discrepancy in the file for the Trump accuser was first reported by independent journalist Roger Sullenberger. According to NPR's review of three different sets of serial numbers stamped onto the files, there appear to be 53 pages of interview documents and notes missing from the public Epstein database. Oh, I wonder why. I bet you if those documents named Bill Clinton, oh, we'd have them, right? But since they named Donald Trump, forget it. You can't even see it. In the first interview document, the woman discussed ways Epstein abused her as a girl and in identifying him to investigators showed a crop photo of the disgraced financier. Her attorney said it was cropped because she was concerned about implicating additional individuals and specifically any that were well known due to fear of retaliation. Well, yeah, that's been something that's been on the table. How many of these women were retaliated against? A whole lot. How many had their lives ruined? A whole lot. The FBI agents noted it was a widely distributed photograph of Epstein with Trump, a woman whose biographical details and descriptions of Epstein's abuse found in the FBI interview also line up with details from a victim lawsuit. In the December 2019 filing, Jane Doe 4 does not mention Trump. And the woman voluntarily dismissed her claims against Epstein's estate in December of 2021. Attorneys for this accuser declined to comment. So look, is it verifiable? No. Is it something that could have happened? Maybe. But I'd say that this is one of those side quests. There's not enough here, certainly not enough for us to dig our teeth into, at least from the perspective of what the law allows. But as far as the COVID up, I think it proves it. At the very least, it gives a lot more ammunition. You have all these documents that are not good for Trump and they just magically disappear. They just end up not in the file case. I mean, come on, it's obvious that this is a cover up. Now, with that said, there's a lot of salacious information in here that is not verifiable and probably just not true. But that's all part of the psyop. And I told you that from the beginning. You have to be able to discern what's real and what might be fantasy. And my suggestion is lock into the stuff that we can prove or the stuff where there's evidence that leads to a certain destination, and then from there, the walls will fall in because people will start talking, people will start rolling, and before you know it, you're getting to the meat and the potatoes. But there's no doubt that a lot of this is added as side quest missions to confuse people and make people think that everything's just a bunch of bs. And it's been very effective. There's a lot of people that point to these kinds of allegations in the drop as evidence that everything inside this drop is bonk. Which is wild, because as outlandish as this allegation might sound, we don't know how it ended up. And that's because, well, there's a cover up. So if people have questions and people don't believe the official narrative, then that's cool, too. I get it. And that's also on the doj. They created that nonsense when they tried to confuse people by dumping all this stuff together and not giving any kind of context about what's what. And they know that it causes confusion. And that was the whole point, right? To confuse everybody and make it seem like this is just absolutely asinine, that this is all just made up. And like Trump said, it's a gigantic hoax. But I think they've done the opposite. And I think the vast majority of Americans have reached their tipping point. It's one thing to lie to us about, you know, politics, it's another thing to steal from us on a regular basis, like every politician does. But this is a step too far. Hurting children, hurting women, trafficking people, God knows what else, and then covering it up, that's a step too far. And I Don't think the people are going to accept it. Elsewhere in the release files, someone in the FBI wrote on July 22, 2025, before the list and slide presentation were compiled, that Trump's name was was in the larger case files and that one identified victim claimed abuse by Trump but ultimately refused to cooperate. Well, I wonder why. Is it that she wasn't telling the truth or. Or was she intimidated? What? That's out of the realm of possibility dealing with these people. The other woman whose mention of Trump made the DOJ's presentation appears in Maxwell discovery files released last month in what's known as testifying witness. 3500 material list the first interview of six with the FBI conducted between September 2019 and September 2021. The second woman detailed how Epstein and Maxwell's abuse began while she was around 13 years old attending the Interlocken center for the Arts, and described how at one point Epstein took her to Trump's Mar a Lago club to meet him. Epstein told Trump, this is a good one, huh? The interview report reads in a 2020 lawsuit against Epstein's estate, Maxwell, the second woman added that both men chuckled and she felt uncomfortable, but at the time was too young to understand why, so her testimony was used to put Maxwell in prison. My guess is she's a reliable witness. Do with that as you will. The interview was removed from the DOJ's public files sometime after initial publication of on January 30 and was republished February 19, according to document metadata. The Justice Department told NPR the only reason any filed has been removed is because it has been flagged by a victim or their counsel for additional review. Multiple FBI interviews with other people refer to the second woman's meeting with Trump while she was a minor and being abused by Epstein. One interview with a fleeting mention of Trump was removed from the public database and and subsequently restored last week, while another interview with the woman's mother is still offline. In that conversation, the mother recalled hearing that a prince and Donald Trump visited Epstein's house, which made her think that if they are there, then how could Epstein be a criminal? According to NPR's copy of the file that was first published, that was part of it. Epstein wanted to build that respectability, build that nexus around him so nobody suspected anything, right? Send your kids to Epstein. No big deal.

And unfortunately a lot of people fell for it the possible omission of files that mention these women particular allegations against the President come as the Justice Department has warned about other documents it has published in full that include what it calls untrue and sensationalist claims about Trump. So there were only sensationalist claims about Donald Trump. Nobody else. Okay, good to know. At the same time, the Justice Department has removed and re uploaded thousands of pages in recent weeks to fix improperly redacted victim names. That includes documents related to the allegation from these two women who separately say they were around 13 years old when Epstein first abused them. Robert Glassman, who represents the woman who testified against Maxwell, sharply criticized the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files. This whole thing is ridiculous, he told npr. The DOJ was ordered to release information to the public to be transparent about Epstein and Maxwell's criminal enterprise network. Instead, they released the names of courageous victims who fought hard for decades to remain anonymous and out of the limelight whether the disclosures were inadvertent or not. They had one job to do here and they didn't do it. I think that really sums it up. They had one job to do and they didn't do it and now they want to cry that this is just a big nothing burger that nobody has anything to see here that we should just move on. No way. Not going to happen. A DOJ spokesperson told NPR that the Department is working around the clock to to address concerns from victims and handle additional redactions of personally identifiable information that has been flagged. In view of the congressional deadline, all reasonable efforts have been made to review and redact personal information pertaining to victims, other private individuals, and protect sensitive material from disclosure, the statement read. That said, because of the volume of information involved, this website may nevertheless contain information that inadvertently includes non public, personally identifiable information or other sensitive content to include matters of a sexual nature. Look, I don't believe anything the DOJ is telling us about this situation, and I fully believe that we're watching maybe one of the biggest cover ups in American history. And the wildest part is we're watching it in real time. And not only that, but they're doing it in such a brazen manner that it certainly doesn't look like they're going to deviate from this course anytime soon. In fact, it looks like they're going to double down. So like usual, we'll keep an eye on this one as well as that swim through all the muck. Continues.
