All right, earlier today, the Justice Department released millions of new files about Jeffrey Epstein or the investigations into him.
As we speak, journalists, congressional investigators, everybody's combing through these for information.
But the results so far are pretty goddamn disturbing.
These people are all gross.
These are the worst people in the world.
So we decided to quickly jump on and just tell you guys what we have learned so far.
So the New York Times says they have identified 3,200 documents that mentioned Donald Trump specifically.
Thought he wasn't in the Epstein?
Yeah, that probably that number will grow, I assume, over time.
There's a really bizarre document where the FBI had assembled a summary of tips about Trump and Epstein.
It's all uncorroborated, or at least we don't have any evidence to back anything up, so we're not going to get to the specifics.
But it's not clear why they would do that.
Right.
Who is this for?
I guess you just run, I guess if you call the FBI with a tip, it probably just gets memorialized.
Yeah, but who are they rounding them up for?
Like, is he's going to the White House?
Is this going to him personally?
Right. So I think that's a big question. And then also for Trump, there's a document worth mentioning called a 302, which is like the standard form. The FBI uses to document an interview with a witness or somebody. It's like, you know, who, what, when, where and then notes on the conversation, but not verbatim. One Epstein victim says Galane Maxwell, quote, presented her to Donald Trump. Now it says nothing happened with Trump, but the mere fact that Galane Maxwell would take someone they were abusing and present them to Donald Trump, I think,
suggest something pretty damning in my book.
I think any time you're being presented women by a third party,
and they use the word, like in any context, it's a little, a little sketchy at least.
Well, this is the way the woman described, the way she was being treated.
Again, we know this is sort of a pattern of serial abuse by Jeffrey Epstein and Glein Maxwell and the Friends.
And again, it also hammers home that Gleine Maxwell, she is an abuser.
She's not like some sort of innocent bias dinner here.
There's a bunch of emails going back and forth between Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein.
Elon Musk, by the way, who said, Jeffrey Epstein invited me to the island once and I refused.
Seems like that's not true.
Yeah, Elon's a breakout star of the Epstein files this time.
So there's an email where Elon is planning to visit Epstein Island.
And again, these emails are all between 2012 and 2014.
Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to the first round of abuse allegations in June of 2008.
So this is years and years after he should have known better.
Also, we should just point out that Donald Trump claims that he broke off ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2006.
Right, right.
And there's another email in there that suggests Epstein was going to go to Mar-a-Lago, I think, in 2012.
But as you mentioned, yeah, Elon says, you know, Epstein tried to invite me to his island.
I refused.
But the email from November 25th, 2012, Elon emails Epstein, what day slash night will be
the wildest party on your island, question mark.
Sounds like someone who was ready to refuse.
It doesn't sound like a man who's going to look for financial advice
or a conversation about the future of the tech industry.
Right?
Like, that's a guy who knows what Jeffrey Epstein does.
Yeah.
Knows the vibe on the island and wants to go there.
Yeah.
And Jeffrey Epstein, I think, says,
I'll send a heli for you, send him a helicopter.
Which is just, no one's ever sent a heli for me.
No, that'll be...
No one's ever sent a half to me.
But we should say that, you know,
these are all been released.
Elon is just tweeting about GROC and AI just all today.
So he's seeing all these tweets.
He knows this has happened and he's just he's tweeting through it.
And it does make again, like remember when Elon had his break with Trump, it seems like they patched things up.
His like final kind of coup de Gras tweet was Donald Trump hasn't released the Epstein files because he's in them.
Well, Takes One to No One.
He takes one to no one.
Speaking of Takes One to No One, Commerce Secretary Howard Luck, Howard Lutnik.
Nutlik, as others call him, is in there too.
So this document, they suggest that Lutnik visited Epstein Island in 2012, again, four years after.
Maybe he went to the wild party night that Elon didn't get to go to.
That's a good call.
But Lutnik, remember, he previously claimed he had cut ties with Epstein in 2005.
Remember he was doing an interview, I forget.
It was televised.
He said, you know, Epstein invited him to a tour of his mansion in the Upper East Side that was next door to his house.
they noticed a massage table in the middle of the room
and Epstein explained that he received, quote,
the right kind of massages every day.
And Lutnik said that he and his wife left.
They decided, quote, never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again.
So I was never in the room with him socially for business or even philanthropy.
If that guy was there, I wasn't going because he's gross.
This is what he told, a Podforce one in the New York Post podcast.
But he went to the island, it sounds like.
it's weird that these people don't tell the truth.
And you can just see it memorialized like this.
There's something pathological, though, about making up a very specific story like that.
Right, as opposed to saying, like, no, no, I never went.
Right.
Just leave it at that.
Right.
Like, you have to, that's what they're, because they just don't care.
He made himself like the hero of the story.
It's like, it's like Elon, right?
Yeah.
Like, you could just say, no, I never went.
As opposed to saying, I refuse to go.
Like they always have to go extra and make them like, you know, Donald Trump was the hero.
Donald Trump was blowing the whistle on Epstein, right?
Remember that that was one of the excuses too?
Yeah, that's right.
I mean, and also, you know, Epstein gave money to a charity dinner honoring Lutnik in 17.
In 18, they exchanged emails about some other charitable things.
Like, these guys were friends forever.
Sounds like all these people were.
One of the weirdest things in this set of documents is about Bill Gates.
So this is an email, I think, Jeffrey Epstein sent to himself.
And it reads like a draft.
It reads like he's sending himself a draft of an email that he wants to send to Bill Gates,
or he's just memorializing something that he wants to exist to be embarrassing.
So it's lots of bitching and moaning about Gates having, like, his PR guy, dump Epstein as a friend,
dumps him as a client.
But then at the end, there's this.
It alleges, it says, Gates said something to him like,
please delete the emails regarding your STD, your request that I provide you antibiotics
that you can surreptitiously give Melinda, his then wife, and the description of your penis.
So the suggestion is that Mr. Gates needed drugs to treat STDs that he got from sex with Russian women that had been facilitated by Jeffrey Epstein.
I will say that is reading the way that Jeffrey Epstein wrote that in an email to himself, it doesn't feel like something that you would, if he was actually sending an email to Mr. Like, it just seems a little off.
It's weird.
It is, yeah, he like really swerves to get to this place.
I'm not, fuck, like, I'm not defending Bill Gates.
I don't know anything.
Bill Gates.
Results is like, do you think, like, is Bill Gates looking for STD medication from Jeffrey Epstein?
Is he that his go-to source for, uh, richest man in the world needs some STD medication?
He's like, I got to go to Jeffrey Epstein for it.
Probably knows some doctors.
Yeah, that's a fair point.
So again, Gates denied this to Business Insider or probably other outlets.
We don't know the truth.
It's really weird.
It's the whole thing just fucking, all of this is weird.
Like, that's the story of this whole thing.
It's so gross and uncomfortable.
Richard Branson's in there.
there, the founder of the Virgin Group.
There's an email from Branson in 2013 that says it was really nice seeing you yesterday.
Anytime you're in the area, I would love to see you as long as you bring your harem.

It's ironic and sad and distressing that like for all the
You know we're gonna find the Epstein files because there's all these secrets
It's all like hiding in plain sight
Yeah, like all of these emails just like they all were talking about it in the open on the emails
It didn't like when it gets down to it they were very open about yeah
Yeah, yeah the FBI didn't need to do a real deep investigation right get access to like one inbox and yeah
They weren't they weren't trying too hard to hide the sketchiness
Yeah and it's like again it's all really
rich and powerful people like Epstein reportedly scouted women for Steve Tish, who is the New York
Giants co-owner. There's emails of them kind of like talking about whether certain individuals
or professionals or civilians. Here's one of the weirdest things, John, there's a, Epstein
emails a Russian guy he knows saying he needs a favor because they quote, Russian girl from Moscow
is attempting to, quote, blackmail a group of powerful businessmen in New York. And he says,
quote, it's bad business for everyone involved.
And then he provides this guy her physical address.
Jesus Christ.
Like where she's staying in New York.
And the Russian is reportedly a former Russian economic minister with ties to Russian intelligence.
Now, I haven't confirmed that for myself.
Again, we're all learning this in real time.
But that is like...
That's just like scary.
Yeah, it's like putting this person in physical harm.
What's the plan?
Is he going to send, like, go to the room?
Scare her, do something worse?
Yeah, that's bad.
There's an email to Galeen Maxwell.
There's an email, I think, that maybe they think maybe Melania might have written to Gleine Maxwell complimenting her.
On an article.
So again, like, this was sort of the height of when Epstein and Trump were buddies.
Now, again, Democrats are not saved here.
Like our former colleague, Kathy Rumler, is all over these files, sending really flattering emails to Jeffrey Epstein that are weird and uncomfortable.
Gleine Maxwell has a note to Bill Clinton that references his penis.
Not going to get into more detail.
Hung like a horse.
Yeah, there is that is what it says.
So, holy shit.
So again, you know, these documents were released way too late.
It's probably not all of them.
Todd Blanche, the Deputy Attorney General, said earlier today that 200,000 pages were redacted or withheld.
But it feels like weird.
It seems like that's the end, too.
Yeah.
Like he's not, they're not releasing anything else.
Yeah, I think Rokana and Thomas Massey, the authors of the legislation that forced this document dump,
say they want to go review the unredacted.
files and make sure that everything they think is and should be in the public domain is.
So I imagine that'll take some time.
It'll take some time for journalists to go through this thing.
I imagine congressional investigators are like highly focused on this.
But I mean, it's as bad as you think of it would be.
And with all those mentions of Trump, I'm sure that it'll take a couple days for everyone
to parse through all of it.
Yeah.
So that's it for this.
You know, we'll do another update when we learn more.
