Epstein and Empire: What Will the Files Say?

Over 20,000 documents related to the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein have been released by the House Oversight Committee, and an unknown number more may be coming as the House of Representatives voted 427-1 on Tuesday for their release.. Donald Trump has flipflopped on whether he’d sign the bill if it passes the Senate and comes across his desk. First, he called Republicans who supported the release like Marjorie Taylor Greene and bill sponsor Thomas Massie “RINOs” - Republicans in Name Only. Then on Sunday and Monday, he signaled that he’d sign the bill if it came across his desk.Whether the full files are ever released or not, the information we already have tells us a lot about Epstein and his connections.  Worth around $600 million when he died in prison in 2019, the sex offender who made his money as a financial advisor to the elite also influenced and interacted with people at the highest levels of government and business. In his emails and texts, he discussed opportunities and prospects in Ukraine, Israel, Syria, and even in Mongolia, sharing a document calling it China’s Ukraine. His connections and friendships with many in the upper echelons of society point to a real ruling-class conspiracy where the wealthy overlook heinous crimes in favor of maintaining their status.Support the show
