The Harry Sisson Show - Trump PANICS As Epstein BOMBSHELL Drops At 3AM

Episode Date: January 6, 2026

Harry Sisson breaks down the new development in the Epstein file story surrounding Donald Trump.

Well, Donald Trump's Department of Justice dropped an Epstein bombshell in the middle of the night last night. And surprise, surprise, it's more cover-up. They haven't gone through the files. They haven't provided a reason for redactions. And listen to this. The DOJ says it has finished reviewing less than 1% of the Epstein files for potential release. Only 12,285 documents have been released, while more than 2 million remain under review. They've reviewed less than 1% of the documents.

And Donald Trump, the people around him, Cash Patel, Pam Bondi, whoever it is, want us to believe that they're working expeditiously on this, that this is their main focus and they want transparency and it's not a cover-up, yet they're moving at Snails pace. Snails' pace. They had a month. They had a month, month and more days. And now they've only reviewed less than 1%. And it gets even worse in the story that we're about to go through.

I am shocked. Not shocked, I guess is not the right word because this is entirely expected, but baffled, I guess maybe is a better word. But before I get into it, make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. I am certainly not going to let this Epstein story die, no matter what Donald Trump does around the world or in the United States. It's that important. So we will talk about it and get through it. Now, before we get into the story, before we read the article from Politico that went through the filing that they released last night, the DOJ, the letter they sent to a judge,

let's just get a couple things straight. Let's lay the foundation. So the oversight Democrats just the other day on January 3rd, which was the day that that all of this Venezuela stuff was going on, released a statement on Twitter saying, quote, we are sure it's just a coincidence, okay? But today is the statutory date for the Department of Justice

to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions. It was January 3rd, two weeks, around 15 days from when they actually were supposed to release all the files. We have not forgotten, and we won't let up, regardless of Donald Trump's new unconstitutional actions. So not only are they still breaking the law

because they haven't released all the files. They're breaking the law in a different way because they haven't provided a reason for the redactions. That date came and went. That date came and went. And there was very little pressure on Donald Trump to follow the law. He never really wants to anyway. But there was very little pressure in this instance because we were all focused on Venezuela. And rightly so. It's an important topic. We have to talk about it. But it's very disappointing to see certain outlets out there not continue the pressure on this topic in particular, which is of, I think, a lot of importance. Here's another thing that you should keep in mind. First Lady Melania Trump is now seeking to dismiss the lawsuit filed by journalist Michael Wolf,

who is Trump's biographer, somebody who was in frequent contact with Epstein before he died, had a lot of incriminating information provided to him by Epstein surrounding Donald Trump. But if it's not dismissed, she plans to move the case to southern Florida. She's asking a judge to do this. We talked about this case on the channel the other day on the show. Basically what happened is Melania Trump said she would, sue Michael Wolfe for saying that Epstein introduced him, I should say Epstein introduced Trump to Melania Trump, that is, when they were obviously not together. And she was like, this is incredibly

defamatory. I'm going to sue you. She never did. Michael Wolfe countersuit her saying, you were threatening this lawsuit to try to silence me. And he's trying to get that case to move through court, trying to get Donald Trump and Melania Trump on the record under oath to talk about these things. And she is trying to dismiss that lawsuit. Not good. Here's another thing that I wanted to show you. The New York Times recently. Let's see. It was Monday, January 5th. So yesterday. And if you look at the New York Times, all of it is when Venezuela, again, a very important story. But you'll notice there's not a single word of Epstein on this paper, which is disappointing. I read the New York Times frequently and the fact that they are kind of dedicating the entire page to this Venezuela story,

which of course, I'm going to say it for like the ninth time, very important. But we also have this going on in the background where the Trump regime is actively breaking the law by not releasing any of these files. A couple more things here I want to show you that, quote, according to this new story we're about to go through, the DOJ is devoting staggering resources to reviewing the Epstein files, including 125 SDNY attorneys working full-time or substantial portion of it and has still blown the legal deadline and made it through only a tiny fraction of the documents. This to me seems like the DOJ for the entire month where they were supposed to be like gathering the files didn't do anything. And now they're putting these poor attorneys in the SDNY.

to work to essentially work overtime. Apparently they've been working through the holidays, the New Year's and things like that. And these are not Trump appointees. These are just attorneys who work in the SDNY. Here's another one. Jay Clayton says that more than 400 DOJ attorneys are slated to spend the next few weeks dedicating all or a substantial portion of their workday to reviewing the files, including these 125 lawyers from SDNY. For reference, SDNY has about 200 attorneys. So again, this just reads to me like they didn't do anything. When they had, had that month to release the files, they had nothing, they weren't doing anything. They were just sitting there doing nothing. But anyway, let's get into the meat of the story. So more than two

weeks after the deadline to release the vast row of files connected to Epstein, the DOJ officials disclosed Monday that they're still reviewing millions of documents and have released less than 1% of the total. Quote, in the letter, more than 2 million documents remain in various phases of review and redactions. Jay Clayton, Manhattan's top federal prosecutor, wrote in a five-page update to the federal judge who previously presided over Epstein's case. Clayton said about 12,285 documents totaling 125,000 pages had been released so far. Clayton acknowledged that the Justice Department recently identified those one million documents it had not initially included in its review. He said those documents appear to be largely duplicates of files the DOJ had already been

reviewing, but that they would nevertheless need to quote, undergo a process of processing and de-duplication. So, I mean, this is insane, that they have these a million documents. They're still working through around 2 million, and we only have 1% as of now. I mean, when we talk about Donald Trump flaunting the law and looking at the law as a suggestion, not a requirement, this is a prime example, among the many other crimes that Donald Trump has committed, but that December 19th deadline to release the files, that January 3rd deadline to explain the redactions, that was never going to happen. Donald Trump was never going to provide any of the requirements by then, because again, he reviews, he looks at the law as a suggestion. Clayton described an enormous undertaking with more than 400 DOJ attorneys slated to spend, as we just read, the next few weeks dedicating all or a substantial portion of their workday to reviewing and redacting files.

I hope they're not taking out Donald Trump's name, and I say that somewhat sarcastically because I'm sure that they are. The prosecutors reviewing the Epstein files are being aided by 100 FBI analysts with experience handling. sensitive victim materials. Clayton added the gradual release of the documents was necessitated by painstaking efforts to protect Epstein's victims from improper disclosures of their identities or private information. Yeah, that's great. That's the most important thing. That's the number one thing that should be on their list when reviewing the files, protecting victims, making sure that their names are redacted, except they failed. A number of victims have come forward saying, hey, that's my name in the files. They did not protect the victims. They did not redact all the names. You know whose name they did

redact a number of times, Donald Trump. What are they doing? You know, it's so, so painful to watch agencies like the FBI who have really patriotic men and women serving, who have been serving way before Donald Trump, just be led by an incompetent idiot like Cash Patel and have our DOJ led by Trump's lackey, Pam Bondi, and of course have the country led by criminal Donald Trump. It's embarrassing. Clayton told U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmeier that the painstaking review,

process required uploading documents to a data review platform, a manual search for victim information, a redaction process, and a subsequent review by his office for quality control. How do you go through all of that and still miss victim names? And on the flip side of that, they went through all of that and Donald Trump's name was redacted, meaning that it was not a mistake, right? It's not like, oh, somebody redacted it, then they came back and they had this review, and they saw that his name was redacted and said, oh, there's no reason for this, and they took it out.

it means that this painstaking process means that Donald Trump's name was very deliberately redacted. They can't even go with the excuse of it was accidental anymore. Clayton said the feedback from the initial document released has now led the Justice Department to modify its review procedures to protect victim privacy. That's good. Those updates include, quote, prioritizing the review of documents that are expected to be responsive and non-duplicative, sorting documents according to their likelihood of containing victim-related information and assigning lawyers to,

batches of high priority documents expected to include victim information. This is all good. Why wasn't it being done already? Why did the victims have to be re-traumatized? And I can't imagine what many of these victims are going through. This is a devastating process. They are being constantly reminded of the fact of what they went through. Right? Donald Trump dropped some documents there and then drop some documents there and these bombshells keep dropping every once in a while. And it's like, it's a month to two month long process where these victims are thinking every day, man, oh man, can this be over with? Can we have the transparency that we're asking for? And man, I just, you know, they're very, very strong people. And I have a tremendous amount of respect for the victims who

are being put through this just shit show right now to put it bluntly. But yeah, 1%. Sorry, let me correct myself, less than 1%. It's insane. I will leave the video there. I am so baffled, but I will continue to cover this story, regardless of what Donald Trump does, as I said. Make sure to subscribe down below, drop a like on the video, comment. Again, let me know what you think about it. I'm excited to hear from you. As I always say, I greatly appreciate you, and I hope you have an amazing rest of your day.
