Release Date: July 24, 2025
Hosts: Ben, Brett, and Jordy Meiselas
Introduction to the Main Topic
In this episode of The MeidasTouch Podcast, hosts Ben, Brett, and Jordy delve into the recent developments surrounding former President Donald Trump and Ghislaine Maxwell. The core discussion revolves around the urgent meeting orchestrated by Trump's Department of Justice (DOJ) with Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Tallahassee, Florida, for her convictions related to sex trafficking.
DOJ's Meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell (00:57 - 06:53)
Ben Meiselas kickstarts the conversation by highlighting the swift action taken by the DOJ to meet with Maxwell and her attorney. This move follows the House of Representatives Oversight Committee's decision to subpoena Maxwell for her deposition.
Ben Meiselas (00:57): "Donald Trump's Department of Justice has rushed to meet with Ghislaine Maxwell and Ghislaine Maxwell's lawyer today in the Tallahassee prison..."
Ben interprets this meeting as a strategic move by Maxwell to potentially negotiate terms that could benefit her, such as a pardon or sentence commutation, which might influence her forthcoming deposition.
Analysis by Ron Philip Koski (06:00 - 13:00)
The podcast features insights from Ron Philip Koski, the Editor-in-Chief of The MeidasTouch Network. He provides a critical analysis of the DOJ's actions, suggesting that Maxwell holds significant leverage over Trump, which she might use to her advantage.
Ron Philip Koski: "This means before she agrees to lie for Trump, she wants an agreement to a sentence reduction or a commutation."
Koski further criticizes the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case files, emphasizing the need for transparency regarding the extensive 300 gigabytes of documents currently withheld by the DOJ and the FBI.
Ron Philip Koski: "I'm interested in the truths that the victims and witnesses told investigators years ago, which are in the files that Trump's DOJ refuses to release. Release the damn files."
Distractions and Legal Maneuvers (06:53 - 14:46)
Ben continues by discussing what he perceives as the DOJ's distractions from the core issues:
-
Grand Jury Testimony: Despite attempts, a federal judge denied the DOJ's request to access grand jury testimonies due to Rule 6E of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure.
-
Focus on Maxwell's Meeting: The DOJ's emphasis on the immediate meeting with Maxwell diverts attention from the withheld evidence.
Ben underscores the importance of releasing detailed evidence, such as wire intercepts and computer logs from Epstein's operations, to fully understand the extent of the crimes and any potential connections to Trump.
Pam Bondi's Canceled Appearance and DOJ Reports (08:36 - 13:10)
The episode highlights Pam Bondi, Trump's Attorney General, who canceled her appearance at a CPAC summit on human trafficking due to a "torn cornea." This abrupt cancellation coincided with a major report by The Wall Street Journal revealing that Bondi had informed Trump of his name's frequent appearances in the Epstein files monitored by the FBI and DOJ.
Ben Meiselas (09:48): "The Wall Street Journal report states that Attorney General Pam Bondi back in May informed Donald Trump that his name appeared numerous times in the Epstein files..."
This revelation fuels Ben's argument that Trump's actions, including the firing of Maureen Comey, the lead prosecutor against Maxwell whose father is James Comey, indicate a concerted effort to undermine the investigation.
The Epstein Birthday Book Revelation (12:15 - 13:45)
A significant portion of the discussion centers on the discovery that the Epstein estate holds a "birthday book" containing a letter from Trump to Epstein's 50th birthday.
Legal Expert (12:40): "The executors of this date are in possession of that book..."
This document is posited to provide crucial evidence of Trump's association with Epstein, suggesting that House Representatives can subpoena this book to further unravel the connections.
Ben emphasizes the importance of making such evidence public to ensure accountability.
Donald Trump's Denial (14:46 - 15:43)
The podcast features a clip where Donald Trump denies being informed by Bondi about his name appearing in the Epstein files.
Donald Trump (14:53): "Attorney General Pam Bondi, a very, very quick briefing... She never did that."
Ben uses this denial to reinforce his stance that Trump is orchestrating a massive cover-up to protect his interests.
Conclusion and Call to Action (15:43 - 17:02)
Ben wraps up the episode by reiterating the significance of the DOJ's recent actions and the potential for a large-scale cover-up involving high-profile individuals. He urges listeners to stay informed and engaged with the ongoing developments, promising continuous coverage through the MeidasTouch Network.
Ben Meiselas (15:43): "This thing reeks of a massive, massive cover up... We're taking it step by step right here."
