In the past 24 to 48 hours, the Trump DOJ has deleted critical documents that were previously made public by the Trump Department of Justice in the partial release of Epstein file documents. Specifically, they have removed the 86 page prosecution memo which listed the possible coconspirators in the Epstein case and the victims allegations against those possible coconspirators. Julie K. Brown, the incredible reporter from the Miami Herald was one of the first to write about the Trump regime deleting this from the database. We have a copy of it still here at the Midas Touch network which we also posted on Midasplus.com so that it can't be deleted. So check it out there. I'll talk about that in a moment. In the past 24 to 48 hours, the Trump regime has also ordered the local Kentucky GOP parties to rip away the microphone from Kentucky Republican Congressmember Thomas Massie when he was speaking at a local GOP club in Oldham in Kentucky. And the local leaders grabbed the microphone away from Massie so he cannot speak the truth. We're also learning in the past 24 to 48 hours as well more information about how the FBI sought to redact images of the former US President, former US President, Secretary of State and other celebrities from the files. And we're learning more details about the extensive cover up efforts by the Trump regime in other areas. I mean outside of the Epstein files. We've learned in the New York Times reported that FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepare to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Goode. She was murdered by Trump's ICE Gestapo in Renee Goode's suv and they received orders, orders to stop from Cash Patel and at the highest level of the Trump regime because they did not want there to be an investigation that would contradict Donald Trump's claim that Renee Nicole Good, quote, violently, willfully and maliciously ran over the ICE officer because the blood splatter results would contradict that. Frankly the video contradicts it. But they interfered and manipulated with an ongoing investigation and that was one of the main reasons why, why all of those federal prosecutors in Minneapolis Abruptly quit. Like the whole office in Minneapolis federal prosecutor's office is gone. Let's just go through this one by one. First, I wanna show you Republican Thomas Massie. He was behind the discharge petition with Democrat Ro Khanna. And you'll see when he was giving a speech on February 6th in Oldham County. You'll see. And he was speaking in front of the local GOP chapter right there. One of the leaders of that local GOP chapter. They rip away the microphone from Massie because Massie wants to talk about the Epstein files and Donald Trump's connection to it and a cover up of a child sex trafficking ring and how Donald Trump has betrayed his base. This is what MAGA transparency looks like, where they rip away the microphone from Thomas Massie for speaking the truth. Here, play this clip. You are a congressman. You work not for the speaker of the House.

Welcome to the Smith lady.
Investigative Journalist
Oh, yeah. Now that was right around the time that Massie was posting things like this. From March 2025, he Post this letter from the Epstein files. Again, only a partial release of the Epstein files has been made public. There are still 3 million documents which could be as many 25 to 50 million pages that have not been produced. But here's what Massie posts. This is from March 2025. Who is protected under this transparency task? Presidents, Secretary of state, celebrities. Nothing would have been released if Ro Khanna, Congressmember Ro Khanna and I had enforced this. But even now, and against the law, they are withholding information to protect perpetrators.
Mint Mobile Announcer
Right.

We also are learning that Ghislaine Maxwell, who spoke with Donald Trump's number two at the doj, Todd Blanche, who used to be Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney. That's what Blanche's role was. Well, Ghislaine Maxwell, she's supposed to have her deposition taken by the House Oversight Committee on Monday, even though she spoke with Todd Blanche, she's now going to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights because she doesn't want to talk about what she knows about Donald and other people. And she's going to refuse to answer all of the questions from the House Oversight Committee despite the fact that her deposition was moved back from August till now because she said she had to wait until the Supreme Court ruling on her case so that she'd be able to testify because she said she would have to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights while the Supreme Court had not ruled. Well, the Supreme Court ruled against her. They didn't overturn the conviction that she's a child sex trafficker she said she was going to testify and now she's going to invoke the fifth. Do you see cover up after cover up after cover up here? I want to go through it with you in this methodical detail, but here's a March 2025 email from FBI agents Cash Patel's department where the FBI discusses internally the clear and specific guidance to redact images of former US Presidents, Secretary of State and other celebrities who may be in the files. Now let's talk about though, that DOJ 86 page prosecution memo. The prosecution memo is dated December 19 19th, 2019. Notably, when I reviewed all 3 million documents in the Epstein files, one of that have been produced so far, the partial release of documents, that is one of the things I noticed is where's all the internal communications and internal memos and deliberative process information, intra office inter office communications? Where are the FBI victim interviews, survivor interviews? They just weren't there. But this one was produced which I found interesting. But then all of a sudden it was deleted from the public database. Fortunately we downloaded it here at the Midas Touch network so we have a copy of it that you can look at by going to midasplus.com we posted it on our substack midasplus.com but as Julie K. Brown writes, DOJ's 86 page prosecution memo listing possible co conspirators in the Epstein case and the victim's allegations against those possible co conspirators disappear, disappeared from their website after the Miami Herald questioned them about the list. So take a look over here. You'll notice on top of this memo, this is the 86 page prosecution memo. It says privileged attorney work product deliberative process confidential, subject to federal rule of Criminal Procedure 6e. And you'll see it says to Jeffrey Berman, he was the main United States Attorney, the lead federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York during this time period. It's from all of his AUSAs, but for whatever reason their names are redacted. I'm not sure why it's redacted. One of them should be Maureen Comey who the Trump regime fired. She was the one who prosecuted Epstein and Ghislaine. It's dated 12-19-2019 and it says investigation into potential coconspirators of Jeffrey Epstein. And the memo says this memorandum details the investigative steps taken since the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein in this district on July 2, 2019 and analyzes the extent to which certain of Epstein's associates and employees may or may not be criminally liable for their conduct during their employment with Epstein. You'll note that that is dated after Epstein died. Epstein died in early ish August. But when I was going through this document, one of the things I noticed is that. Go to page 69, 72, 79. I can keep going through these where it's supposed to mention the co conspirators. All of that is redacted. Like all of those names are redacted. There are certain portions that reference maybe other people. But most of this document is still redacted. But it was made public. None of that should be redacted and this document should still be made public. We should know who all the co conspirators are, right? Like this. When people talk about lists, this 86 page prosecution memo would be a list of co conspirators. And the analysis by the DOJ at that time in 2019 about whether these people on the list should be prosecuted. Now look, in 2019 it would make sense for there to be what's called a deliberative process privilege. Because if you charged these individuals the deliberative process privileges like your work product, your memos, your inter office communications, that stuff is not made public during criminal cases in general you have to produce all the evidence that you have against the criminal defendant. They're presumed innocent until they're found guilty. But you wouldn't turn over all of your inner office emails. It would be giving away today's the super bowl, for example. It would be giving away your playbook to the other side. Instead of you have to show what the happening in the game. We don't give away the playbook but for purposes of the Epstein Transparency act the whole thing is reveal your playbook, the deliberative process, the inner office emails and memos. That's precisely the type of stuff that we want to see in the Epstein Transparency act transparency. Because we want to know who are on the list, who are you considering charging? Why didn't you charge them? That's precisely what we want. And Even when this 86 page prosecution memo was made public, these key, the key names were redacted. You see all these pages redacted, but now they just deleted it and think that we're stupid. So we saved it. And what I suppose should happen now is that if you look at the Bates number over here, you see this efta. Let's take a look at the Bates number, bottom right. EFTA 2731082 by the way, you see there's another Bates number there. Because all this stuff was made available, was ready to be produced years ago if they wanted to. There was no reason for any delay here, but we should just ask in a public records request. And people are doing this, produce EFTA 02730182, that whole series of Bates numbers and all of these other internal memos and remove the redactions because that violates the Epstein Transparency Act. Aaron Parnas, who's got his own great YouTube site and he works with the Midas Touch network as all as well. Aaron also learned the following from his sources. Epstein survivors tell me that they were told in meetings with Republican lawmakers that everyone was supportive of asking Pam Bondi hard questions about the Epstein files when she appears for her testimony. This week. She's testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. But afterwards, they were told by a source in the Republican establishment that those questions won't be asked. Republican members have been told to avoid any questions about the Epstein files and to only focus on the, quote, positives that Bondi accomplished during her testimony. So again, it's cover up after cover up after cover up. Finally, FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepare to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Renee Good's suv. But they received orders to stop from Cash Patel. And at the highest levels of the Trump regime, the New York Times reports the fear a civil rights investigation would contradict Donald Trump's claim that Good violently, willfully and viciously ran over the ICE officer who fired at her as she drove away her vehicle. So you have Joseph Thompson right here, one of the top federal prosecutors in Minneapolis. He did the right thing in the sense that he wrote in an email to colleagues that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a state agency that specializes in investigating police shootings, would team up with the FBI to determine where the shooting had been, whether the shooting had been justified and lawful, or had violated Renee Nicole Goode's civil rights. That's the appropriate protocol, even though it should be obvious to us on the video that our civil rights were violated. You go through the investigation, you do blood splatter reports, you do a search warrant to determine if excessive force was used. That's the normal protocol. But later in the week, FBI agents equipped with a signed war and prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes and miss goods SUV received orders to stop. And instead, what the Trump DOJ said, what you need to focus on is, is the opposite, an assault on the officer and whether Renee Nicole Good's wife was responsible for the murder of Renee Nicole Goode and That's when all those prosecutors in Minneapolis resigned. Right here. Just share this with you as well. Other Epstein emails. This is why this is so deeply serious. Saturday, October 19, 2013 from somebody who's redacted. Why is this name redacted right here to Jeffrey Epstein. Is she too old for you? Lol. Well, I will hunt my other Czech friends and Epstein says too old. Who's that person and why are they redacted? Who is being protected right here? How about this? In a 2018 email, Epstein casually acknowledges himself as a sex trafficker with no denials. He says he met someone who was working on a movie about a sex sex trafficker who had a private island with sex slaves and he informed her that that's him and she's doing a movie about him and she didn't realize that she was talking to the guy she's making a movie about and quote, she almost fainted. Or how about this? Aaron Parness reports, who sent Jeffrey Epstein an image of what appears to be a 10 year old child. And why is this redacted? Age 10? How sick and disgusting can you get? I mean, by the way, can I share this with you as well? So back in 2017, there were these pranksters who tried to set up Prime Minister Carney, who at the time was the lead banker for the bank of England. He was the lead governor of the bank of England. So the pranksters wrote this to Prime Minister Carney. They said something like this, actually, I'm glad to hear from you. Someone was posing as Anthony Hopgood. I don't think it was actually Hobgood, who's a business person in the uk. I'm glad I heard from you. I'm having summer nights themed soiree on Saturday, June 17. As much martini as you can take. Are you free? And then Mark Carney says, sounds ideal. We'll check at home and at work. And then this person posing as Anthony Hopgood in 2017 says, Excellent, I've hired some rather dashing bar ladies. Is that PC? If you ask for crystal glasses, you'll be able to admire their enchanting dexterity. I keep those glasses low down.

Ha.

You don't reach my age without knowing all of those tricks. And then Prime Minister Carney responds, sorry, Anthony, not appropriate at all. To which Habgood responds, well, report me to Brussels then. You did know I was joking, didn't you? It's an old story, my friend. Rather fun. Even though that was a prankster trying to set up Carney. Do you see how Carney kept it professional the entire time and said, that's not appropriate. That's the right response. Not appropriate. I'm not engaging in these types of communications or conversations. I just think that's interesting because when people try to set him up, that's how Carney behaved. Just shut it down. Hit subscribe.

Podcast: The MeidasTouch Podcast
Hosts: Ben, Brett & Jordy Meiselas
Date: February 8, 2026
This episode centers on explosive recent developments regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, including the Trump DOJ's removal of a crucial 86-page prosecution memo from public access, efforts to suppress and redact key evidence, and ongoing Republican attempts to cover up Epstein's connections to prominent figures, including Donald Trump. The Meiselas brothers analyze these efforts at suppression, reveal how the MeidasTouch Network preserved deleted files, discuss the implications for justice and transparency, and touch on the wider culture of cover-up—including egregious actions taken in other high-profile Trump-era cases.
“We have a copy of it still here at the Midas Touch network, which we also posted on Midasplus.com so that it can't be deleted.” – Investigative Journalist ([03:08])
FBI redaction orders: New information about FBI efforts to redact the names and images of former US Presidents, Secretaries of State, and celebrities from the Epstein files ([05:12]).
Widespread redactions: Even the supposedly “released” 86-page memo is heavily redacted with co-conspirator names blacked out ([10:22]).
Congressional cover-up: Survivors were told Republican lawmakers supported tough questioning about the Epstein case, but leadership instructed them to avoid the topic ([14:55]).
Quote:
“Who is being protected right here? How about this... Who sent Jeffrey Epstein an image of what appears to be a 10-year-old child? And why is this redacted?” – Investigative Journalist ([18:07], [18:44])
“They rip away the microphone from Thomas Massie for speaking the truth. Here, play this clip. You are a congressman. You work not for the speaker of the House.” – Investigative Journalist ([06:02])
Fifth Amendment: Ghislaine Maxwell, previously slated to testify before the House Oversight Committee, has signaled she'll plead the Fifth, citing self-incrimination risks, despite earlier statements ([07:32]).
Delay tactic: Maxwell had previously delayed her appearance pending a Supreme Court ruling but now won’t answer questions regardless.
Quote:
“She said she would have to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights... The Supreme Court ruled against her... and now she's going to invoke the fifth. Do you see cover up after cover up after cover up here?” – Investigative Journalist ([07:52])
“Frankly, the video contradicts it. But they interfered and manipulated with an ongoing investigation and that was one of the main reasons why… all of those federal prosecutors in Minneapolis abruptly quit.” – Investigative Journalist ([04:46])
The Epstein Transparency Act: The discussion highlights the urgent need for transparency—removing redactions and making all internal deliberations public ([12:32]).
Advocacy for action: The hosts explicitly urge the public to submit FOIA requests for the full documents and removal of improper redactions.
Quote:
“That's precisely the type of stuff that we want to see in the Epstein Transparency act transparency. Because we want to know who are on the list, who are you considering charging? Why didn't you charge them? That's precisely what we want.” – Investigative Journalist ([12:56])
Disturbing correspondence: They read from emails in the Epstein files highlighting both the pervasiveness and normalization of abuse, with redacted names shielding potential perpetrators ([17:50]–[19:04]).
Contrast in behavior: Comparison with Mark Carney’s (ex-Bank of England head) professional rebuff when pranksters attempted to implicate him in inappropriate dialogue ([19:04]).
Quote:
“Is she too old for you? Lol. Well, I will hunt my other Czech friends and Epstein says too old. Who's that person and why are they redacted?” – Investigative Journalist ([17:55])

“DOJ's 86 page prosecution memo listing possible co conspirators in the Epstein case… disappeared from their website after the Miami Herald questioned them about the list.” ([09:51])
On the Culture of Cover-up
“Cover up after cover up after cover up.” ([07:55])
On Institutional Failure
