Epstein Files Weekly: Trump-Style Briefings on the Latest Leaks & VIP Name Drops

A longtime Epstein assistant told lawmakers she arranged contacts between me and Epstein. And she gave them what they’re calling “a lot of names.” Last week we talked about the VIPs and the financial bombshells, and believe me, they were bombshells. But this week, we have a list. A perfect list, they say. We’ll see about that. The news is tremendous this week, just tremendous. You have a guy in Dubai, a Sultan, Ahmed bin Sulayem. Big, important businessman. His emails with Epstein get released, they mention a “torture video,” and—boom.

He resigns. Just like that. Out. Very sad. Then you go over to the UK. Peter Mandelson. He was a big deal, ambassador to the U.S. Turns out he failed his security vetting because of Epstein, but they gave him the job anyway. Now the Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, he’s in a lot of trouble. A lot of trouble. People are saying he knew. He says he didn't know. Somebody's not telling the truth. Shocker. Even Bill Gates, he had to go talk to Congress. He went voluntarily, which is smart. He’s got good lawyers, probably. He told them all his meetings were about philanthropy.

Giving money away. Okay. We’ll see what the files say. They always say it’s about philanthropy. And you know, I’m the one who signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Four hundred and twenty-seven to one, they voted for it. I signed it. Because I believe in transparency, unlike some people. But the Justice Department, they’ve been so slow. So slow. Releasing millions of pages, but it’s all blacked out. Redacted. It’s a disgrace. So now they’re coming for me. Of course. It always comes back to me. This assistant, who nobody’s ever heard of, by the way.

A nobody. She tells Congress she has a lot of names, and that she set up contacts. They love to say that. Contacts. It was a phone call. Maybe two phone calls. I was a very important person in New York. Everybody wanted to talk to me. Everybody. He was just one of them. Then you have The New York Times—the failing New York Times—saying there was “panic” in my White House about the files. Panic. There was no panic. There was strength. The story says I snapped at my aides. You’re damn right I snapped at them. They were being weak.

They came into the Situation Room, all worried, “Sir, what do we do?” I said, “We do nothing. We’re not releasing anything.” It’s very simple. You don’t play their game. And now they’re bringing up this birthday book. A book from 2003. They found a drawing. A hand-drawn... thing. A nude woman, they say, with some words. And they say it’s my signature. It’s a doodle. They’re investigating a doodle from more than twenty years ago. It could be anybody’s signature. A lot of people have that signature. It’s a very popular, very good signature.

This is what they spend their time on. So what does it all add up to? You have people resigning over torture videos. You have foreign governments about to collapse. You have billionaires lawyering up. And they want to talk about a doodle. It tells you everything. They wanted the files. I signed the bill. Now they have the files. And they’re finding out the names on that list... aren't the ones they were hoping for.
