Epstein Victim Names ‘Well-Known Prime Minister’ In Stunning Memoir– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Blurb:

The memoir of a woman whose allegations helped expose Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking network will be released soon, and intriguing details from the text are already emerging.

Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, promises to pull back the veil on the “well-known prime minister” she says brutalized her—and the layers of complicity surrounding that abuse.

In the book, Giuffre writes of a terrifying incident: trapped in the house of a powerful politician, she begged Epstein for help as the man attacked her. “After the attack, I couldn’t stay a fool,” she reflects. “Epstein’s callous reaction to how terrified I felt made it clear that he was simply a manipulator.”

Takeaways from House Oversight’s interview with Barr on Epstein – www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

The House Oversight Committee released a transcript from its first closed-door interview with former Attorney General Bill Barr in which he acknowledged the mishandling of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s detainment and pointed to other possible files.

Barr, who twice served as attorney general and led the Justice Department during President Donald Trump’s first term, was subpoenaed by Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) last month. His appearance marked the first interview in a sweeping inquiry that also sought sitdowns with former President Bill Clinton, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and former FBI Director James Comey.

Barr was attorney general when Epstein was found dead in his prison cell in 2019, a death that was later deemed a suicide. Barr became directly involved in the aftermath, reviewing 11 hours of surveillance footage from Epstein’s cell block. He later concluded the video showed no evidence of foul play and backed the medical examiner’s finding of suicide.

Last week, the committee received a slew of documents from Epstein’s estate, including the 2003 “Birthday Book” that is alleged to have President Donald Trump’s signature in it.

Earlier this month, House Oversight released 33,000 pages of DOJ files on Epstein, just after Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), along with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA), introduced his discharge petition to try and force a vote for the full release of the Epstein files.

Speaker Mike Johnson appeared to walk back his statements on Trump working as an FBI informant in the Epstein case.

Last week CNN reporter Manu Raju asked Speaker Johnson why President Trump keeps calling the Epstein case a hoax.

“What he’s talking about is the Democrats who are doing this with impure motives. If they cared so much about this, why didn’t they do something during the four years of the Biden administration when the Biden DOJ had all the records,” Johnson said to reporters on Thursday.

Johnson: What Trump is referring to is the hoax that the Democrats are using to try to attack him. He has never said or suggested or implied— I’ve talked to him about this many times, many times. He is horrified. It’s been misrepresented. He’s not saying that what Epstein did is a hoax. It’s a terrible, unspeakable evil. He believes that himself.

A federal judge denied the Trump administration’s request to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials on Wednesday, calling it a “diversion.”

Judge Richard Berman, a Clinton appointee, noted the testimony “is merely a hearsay snippet of Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged conduct” in his 14-page ruling.

“The Government is the logical party to make comprehensive disclosure to the public of the Epstein Files,” he wrote. “By comparison, the instant grand jury motion appears to be a ‘diversion’ from the breadth and scope of the Epstein files in the Government’s possession.”

Two federal judges previously rejected efforts to unseal transcripts in Epstein’s Florida case and Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. The Department of Justice (DOJ) petitioned to unseal the transcripts in July following a directive from President Donald Trump.

FBI Reportedly Holds Jeffrey Epstein Jail Video With Mysterious ‘Missing Minute’– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

The FBI, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Department of Justice inspector general are all allegedly in possession of a copy of the now-infamous surveillance video from the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center, where Jeffrey Epstein died in 2019, without the missing minute of footage.

The claim comes amid a massive scandal regarding nearly 11 hours of footage released earlier this month by the Justice Department and FBI, which included a one-minute jump in the time code just before midnight on August 9-10, 2019.

CBS News reported, citing an unnamed “government source,” that the agencies have video “that does not cut from just before 11:59 p.m. to midnight of the night Epstein died by suicide in his cell.”

As reported by CBS:

What is unclear is why that section was missing when the FBI released what it said was raw footage from inside the Special Housing Unit the night Epstein died, Aug. 9-10, 2019. The recording came from what officials said was the only relevant video camera that was recording its footage in the unit. This video has been cited by multiple government officials as a key piece of evidence in the determination that Epstein died by suicide.

Epstein’s death, as with many aspects of his high-profile sex trafficking case, has become fodder for conspiracy theories. The missing minute added to the conjecture after the release of the video, when news organizations and amateur sleuths who reviewed the video quickly noticed that onscreen jump in the time stamp.

Lawmakers have denied Ghislaine Maxwell’s request for congressional immunity in exchange for her testimony.

Maxwell, the longtime partner of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is currently serving a 20-year-sentence for sex trafficking and has been in talks with the Trump administration and Congress about dishing on the disgraced financier and his relationships.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced last week that Maxwell is set to testify before the panel on August 11 at the Tallahassee facility where she is serving her prison sentence.

He issued her a subpoena for her testimony one day after lawmakers voted to have her reveal more about her case and the crimes committed by Epstein.

However, after Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus sent a document with conditions for her testimony, the committee has said they won’t accept them.

“The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony,” a spokesperson for the panel said.

The Trump administration made an important move on court documents relating to late convicted sex trafficker and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Tuesday night, President Donald Trump asked two judges to release testimony given to grand juries that indicted both Epstein and accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Trump’s Department of Justice made a request for transcripts of testimony on July 18, but as Reuters reported, two judges wanted a more refined legal justification before moving forward.

The court filings just before midnight mentioned the case was subject to “abundant public interest,” making the request appropriate.

That is an understatement given how much attention Trump has garnered over his — and Attorney General Pam Bondi’s — handling of Epstein so far.

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the Wall Street Journal has offered to settle the president’s lawsuit against them over a report that Trump set notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a bawdy letter for his birthday in 2003.

The explosive report claims that in 2003, Trump sent Epstein a birthday note alongside a scribbled photo of a naked woman. The alleged photo, which the outlet claims included a signature reading “Donald” on the drawing’s waist to look like pubic hair, was not published by The Journal.

It did provide a transcript of a bizarre poem, which they claim was written by Trump. The transcript of the alleged note goes as follows:

“Voice Over: There must be more to life than having everything.

Donald: Yes, there is, but I won’t tell you what it is.

Jeffrey: Nor will I…

Donald: We have certain things in common, Jeffrey.

Jeffrey: Yes, we do…

Donald: Enigmas never age…

Jeffrey: …it was clear to me the last time I saw you.

Trump: A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

A spokesperson for the committee told the Daily Mail, “The Oversight Committee will respond to Ms. Maxwell’s attorney soon, but it will not consider granting congressional immunity for her testimony.”

Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, sent a document for the letter demanding that conditions be met in exchange for her testimony. “Public reports—including your own statements—indicate that the committee intends to question Ms. Maxwell in prison and without a grant of immunity. Those are non-starters,” the letter stated.

“Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity. Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony. The potential for leaks from such a setting creates real security risks and undermines the integrity of the process,” the letter continued.

Indeed, after years of silence on the matter, in which their kind dominated the highest perches in America – Hollywood, academia, the intelligence community, the military, corporate boardrooms, Congress and the White House – the official communications arm of the party is now tweeting Epstein bait into the public discourse.

It’s because they’re facing a conflagration of their own making. 

Even as the popularity of Trump’s major initiatives loses steam, nothing they say or do seems to increase their own national popularity. So they have broken the emergency glass and grabbed hold of the Epstein Files.

President Trump told reporters on Monday about the falling out he had with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein years ago that led him to ban the convicted sex trafficker from Mar-a-Lago. Trump also proudly proclaimed that he had turned down “the privilege” of ever traveling to Epstein’s infamous “Pedo Island.”

“I didn’t want to go to his island” Trump said.

The president was asked about Epstein as he sat for a bilateral meeting with U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer in Turnberry, Scotland, Monday morning.

Trump irritably called the Democrats’ sudden interest in the Epstein Files “a hoax that has been built up way beyond proportion,” and argued that if there was any damning information in the files about himself, it would already be in the public domain.

“Those files were run by the worst scum on earth,” Trump said, referring to the Biden Department of Justice. “If they had anything, I assume they would have released it. The whole thing is a hoax,” the president insisted.

Trump also told reporters that it was possible that Democrats could have “easily put something in the files that’s a phony.”

The petition argues procedural errors and challenges the legal basis of her conviction.

Ghislaine Maxwell has formally filed a petition with the US Supreme Court seeking to overturn her 2021 conviction on sex trafficking charges.

“We are appealing not only to the Supreme Court, but to the president himself, to recognize how unjust it is to scapegoat Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s crimes, especially when the government promised she would not be prosecuted,” a representative for Maxwell said, according to CNN.

Maxwell’s lawyers argue that Maxwell’s conviction violates an agreement Epstein made in 2008 that shielded coconspirators from prosecution.

According to trial evidence and court documents, Maxwell helped Epstein recruit and groom young girls—some as young as 14—for sexual abuse between 1994 and 2004. Prosecutors said she used gifts, outings, and emotional manipulation to gain the girls’ trust, gradually desensitizing them to inappropriate conduct. Maxwell was often present for the abuse and in some cases participated directly, including in group sexualized massages. Victims were abused at Epstein’s homes in New York, Florida, and New Mexico, as well as at Maxwell’s London residence.

President Donald Trump is reportedly “furious” about the incessant questions he continues to receive on his decades-old relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, a sentiment that boiled over during an appearance in Scotland on Monday.

A question from the traveling White House press corps set off Trump, who truculently attacked Epstein as a “creep” who was thrown out of Mar-a-Lago after harassing women at his golf resort.

“I threw Epstein out. Persona non grata. And that was it. I’m glad I did. And by the way, I never went to the island. And Bill Clinton went there supposedly 28 times,” he said angrily.

Trump’s answer harkens back to last week’s revelation that President Clinton allegedly contributed to a booklet of well-wishes presented to Epstein for his 50th birthday. Clinton is said to have praised Epstein for his “childlike curiosity,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

“It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends,” Clinton’s letter allegedly reads.

A spokesman said Clinton “knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York,” according to a statement.

Excerpt:

Maxwell, Jeffery Epstein’s former confidante and girlfriend, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

In a letter to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, obtained by the Washington Examiner, Durbin said the DOJ should not commit to offering a pardon or commutation of Maxwell’s sentence in exchange for information, crediting “serious questions about the potential for a corrupt bargain between the Trump administration and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

Durbin’s letter was also co-signed by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), another member of the Judiciary Committee.

However, since Democrats are in the minority and have no subpoena power, the letter may carry little weight with Blanche. The letter reflected how Democrats are trying to keep pressure on the Trump administration over the Epstein files, a matter that has upset many of President Donald Trump’s supporters.

The letter from Durbin said the meetings between Blanche and Maxwell were “highly unusual” and should have been conducted by line prosecutors with more knowledge of the case and those who better understand whether Maxwell was lying or telling the truth.

Durbin wrote that because Blanche conducted the interviews, it led him and Whitehouse to believe they were “another tactic to distract from DOJ’s failure to fulfill Attorney General Bondi’s commitment that the American people would see ‘the full Epstein files.’”

Donald Trump‘s lawyers are asking a federal court for a quick deposition of media mogul Rupert Murdoch in the president’s defamation lawsuit over a Wall Street Journal article about his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump’s lawyers request in the filing in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida that the court compel the owner of the Wall Street Journal to be deposed within 15 days, in part because of his advanced age. The filing argues Murdoch, 94, “is believed to have suffered recent significant health scares,” which underscores the urgency of having him testify quickly.

“Taken together, these factors weigh heavily in determining that Murdoch would be unavailable for in-person testimony at trial,” the filing reads.

The Trump lawyers allege Murdoch should be compelled to testify because he spoke to Trump about the story before it was published and is “widely known for having a hands-on approach over editorial decisions related to News Corp’s periodicals.”

“Because Defendants published the Article after President Trump spoke directly with Murdoch and advised him that the letter referenced in the Article was fake, Murdoch’s direct involvement further underscores Defendants’ actual malice and intent behind the decision to publish the false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements about President Trump identified in the Complaint,” the filing reads.

Maxwell, 63, was seen shackled and accompanied by guards after meeting with Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday. She was transported in a white sedan back to the FCI Tallahassee prison complex, where she’s been serving a 20-year sentence on underage sex-trafficking charges since 2022.

Handcuffed and dressed in a brown prison jumpsuit, Maxwell was escorted through barbed wire fencing as a guard trailed behind her holding the box.

They and a second guard stood outside the building for nearly two minutes before being let inside.

Sources familiar with Thursday’s meeting said she had returned from the U.S. attorney’s office in Tallahassee, where she met with Blanche, a source said.

“Today, I met with Ghislaine Maxwell, and I will continue my interview of her tomorrow. The Department of Justice will share additional information about what we learned at the appropriate time,” Blanche wrote on X after the meeting.

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is launching digital ads targeting a dozen Republican-held House districts, calling for the release of files related to financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

One ad features Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) calling the controversy a “serious issue” and saying that the highest volume of calls to her office have concerned the Epstein files, while another calls out the House GOP with the caption “House Republicans shut down Congress to bury the truth.”

A clip of President Trump standing next to Epstein plays in the background of the latter.

Both ads tell viewers to call their representatives and demand that the Epstein files are released.

Momentum had been building among Democrats and some Republicans for Congress to vote to force the Trump administration to release the documents related to the case. But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced the body would start its summer recess a day early as Democrats sought to force votes in the Rules Committee to release the files, dividing Republicans.

Democrats have sought to use the lingering controversy as a way to go on offense against Trump and the Republican Party, accusing them of protecting pedophiles. The topic of the Epstein files has received significant national attention for a few weeks since the Justice Department memo stating the Epstein didn’t have a “client list,” as has been alleged, and that the department wouldn’t release additional documents to protect alleged victims.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced late Wednesday the formation of a Strike Force in response to new revelations about how former President Barack Obama and members of the intelligence community fabricated the Russia hoax that haunted President Donald Trump’s first term and cost American taxpayers millions of dollars.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement that the Strike Force will “assess the evidence” and “investigate potential next legal steps,” related to a damning 2020 report released this week by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

“There is irrefutable evidence that detail how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false,” Gabbard said during a White House press conference on Wednesday. “We have referred and will continue to refer all of these documents to the Department of Justice and the FBI, to investigate the criminal implications of this. … The evidence that we have found, and that we have released, directly point to President Obama leading the manufacturing of this intelligence assessment. There are multiple pieces of evidence and intelligence that confirm that fact.”

A federal Strike Force is made up of teams of investigators from multiple agencies working together to uncover complex cases of fraud and other offenses. Originally, Strike Forces were used to investigate webs of organized crime. For example, in the late 1960s, a Strike Force in Buffalo, New York, made up of attorneys and agents from several federal agencies achieved 30 indictments within the organized crime network, in part by learning about the organization’s leadership structure.
