He is also the author of Compromised: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail and director of the nonprofit organization Epstein Justice.In this interview, Bryant discusses:🔥 Why he believes multiple administrations protected Epstein🔥 Claims of a broader trafficking and blackmail network🔥 The significance of Epstein’s Black Book and flight logs🔥 Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction and unanswered questions🔥 Alleged failures by the DOJ and FBI🔥 Why victims still haven’t received full justice🔥 The push for an independent congressional investigationBryant also explains why he believes both Republicans and Democrats have failed to fully expose the Epstein network and what Americans can do to demand transparency.Another nugget: Bryant believes Epstein was murdered in his cell, that he did NOT commit suicide as the government claims.👉 Learn more about Epstein Justice: https://EpsteinJustice.com👉 Visit Nick Bryant’s website: https://NickBryantNYC.com👉 Subscribe to Lean to the Left for more interviews and political commentary.Lean to the Left: Stay Informed.
