So Donald Trump's lawyer, who was also Jeffrey Epstein's lawyer, went on TV a few days ago

and said that he is aware of these Epstein's lawyer went on TV a few days ago and said that he is aware of these Epstein files. He knows that they're protecting really powerful individuals and that he just can't talk about it because it would breach his duty of confidentiality, he says. But then late last night, he now says there is no list and there really are no files about individuals who were co-conspirators of Epstein. He goes there's just a bunch of affidavits and it's really just affidavits of victims just saying what they went through. That's really all there is here. There's no such thing as a list. So this is what I predicted was going to happen after Donald Trump made that post on social

media saying that the Epstein list and the Epstein files were all this democratic hoax by Obama and Clinton. I said he's going to have all the lawyers basically line up and they're going to go along with that. And ultimately, who is that going to benefit in my opinion? It's going to benefit Ghislaine Maxwell because as I mentioned, it's like she's gotten a golden ticket to get a retrial now from the criminal case against her in federal court because she's going to argue if the president of the United States is saying the entire Epstein

sex trafficking ring is a hoax, then why was I criminally prosecuted and sentenced to over 20 years in Prison I come with receipts and so it should also be noted that Alan Dershowitz Who you're gonna see Trump's lawyer who made statements like this He is also pushing for Ghislaine Maxwell to receive you guessed it a Ghislaine Maxwell to receive, you guessed it, a pardon. And all of these other MAGA influencers now are out there saying free Ghislaine, give Ghislaine a pardon. This as the MAGA Republicans in the House of Representatives are blocking votes and covering up the release

of the Epstein file. So let's come with receipts. This is the Midas Touch Network. That's what we do, right? We don't speculate. We come with evidence. I do this like we're in a courtroom. OK, so ladies and gentlemen of the jury, let me show you Trump's lawyer, Alan Dershowitz, who was also Epstein's lawyer.

And here he is saying this was over the weekend that he knows that there are documents being suppressed to protect individuals. Just listen to him in his own words here, play this clip. So let me tell you, I know for a fact documents are being suppressed and they're being suppressed and protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they're being suppressed. I know who's suppressing them, but I'm bound by confidentiality

from a judge and cases, and I can't disclose what I know, but I hand to God, I know, I know the names of people whose files are being suppressed in order to protect them. And that's wrong. All right. Well, now in my view that the plan has been hatched by Donald Trump, things are changing a little bit. So what did Dershowitz say last night? Donald Trump, things are changing a little bit.

So what did Dershowitz say last night? Dershowitz said, there is no list. I know that there's no list. Here's what he said. Here, play this clip. Is the government hiding a client list or anything that the Trump administration could release tonight? No, there is no client list and never has been a client list.

A client list suggests that Jeffrey Epstein made a list of people to whom he trafficked women. What there is, is a redacted FBI affidavit from accusers. There are several of them from accusers that accuse Jeffrey, that accuse various people of having improper sex. And that has been redacted. The names of the people accused have been blacked out. Now of course because I was the lawyer and I did only investigations, I know who all

these people are. I could figure out based on everything that I saw who Mr. X is, Mr. Y is, and Mr. Z. I can tell you right now, none of them are public figures who are currently in office. Some of them were previously in office. Some of them are dead. Let's take a look at Dershowitz's background. Dershowitz, as I mentioned is Donald Trump's

Was Donald Trump's lawyer during the impeachment case very close to Donald Trump back in 1997 or so he wrote a Article an op-ed that says statutory rape is an outdated concept He says it raises a fundamental question about the continuing legitimacy of statutory rape laws at a time when sex involving teenagers is so rampant and prosecution for statutory rape so selective. It is obvious that there must be criminal sanctions against sex with very young children, but it is doubtful whether such sanctions should apply to teenagers above

the age of puberty, since voluntary sex is so common in their age group. In other words, for him, the age of consent that he argues as a legal construct should be right after puberty. And then you would think, well, is he still defending that to this day? Yeah, well, right around the time when he was Donald Trump's lawyer, he goes, I stand by the constitutional, not moral argument I offered in my controversial op-ed. If a 16-year-old has the constitutional right to have an abortion without state or parental interference, how can she not have the constitutional right

to engage in consensual sex? And by the way, here is Dershowitz describing why it was that he was at Epstein's home getting massages, which he claims he doesn't like massages, he says he just got them in his boxers. Here, play this clip. I never saw a young underage woman. Yet Epstein's former butler swore under oath that Dershowitz was at Epstein's residences

at the same time underage girls were there. Were there young women in another part of the house giving massages when I wasn't around? I have no idea of that. Dershowitz did say he once received a massage at Epstein's mansion, but from an adult woman. I kept my underwear on during the massage. I don't like massages particularly.

Bob Norman, Local 10 News. Alright, so you've got Dershowitz saying, pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. You've got Dershowitz saying that he thinks constitutionally the age of consent should be somewhere right after puberty. Now saying that the list doesn't exist. And then you have the other influencers, deeply embedded VIPs in the MAGA world, like Lady Victoria Hervey, she hangs out with Cash Patel and Donald Trump all the time at Bedminster and Mar-a-Lago, and she writes, Keep in mind there was no trafficking, no clients, only innocent victims who were extorted for money by two corrupt

attorneys through a calculated scheme of blackmail. So in their view, Epstein and Ghislaine were actually the victims. That's what MAGA is now pushing. That they were the victims. That's your position, MAGA. You've got MAGA's like this who wear free Ghislaine Maxwell t-shirts. Jessica Reed Krause, she's got VIP access in the White House right now in their new media division. She was one of those people holding the binders, the Epstein Phase 1 binders back in February when Pam Bondi said, this is just Phase 1, we're going to be releasing the full list shortly.

It's sitting on my desk. So she's posted, I'll be pushing for a retrial or a pardon until it happens, especially in light of recent news. Everyone should wonder why one woman is serving 20 years for trafficking minors to no one. And why is she saying to no one? Because Donald Trump said it was all one big hoax. Now, just a reminder for you as well that Dershowitz was Trump's lawyer. Just so you see, OK, you saying he's his lawyer. Was he really his lawyer, Ben? He's yes, he was Epstein's lawyer. He was Trump's lawyer.

Here he is in during the impeachment trial of Donald Trump. Here he is arguing on behalf of Trump. Let's play. What happened is that the current president was impeached. is arguing on behalf of Trump. Let's play. on the other foot test. These scholars are influenced by their own bias, by their own politics, and their views should be taken with that in mind. And here he is pretty recently saying that he thinks Pam Bondi has extraordinary experience and is doing a very good job.

Let's play that clip. Well, look, I think we're on the right track. I think Pam Bondi has extraordinary experience. She's tough. She has the right priorities.

Let's play it. Honestly, I'm done talking about Epstein for the time being. I'm gonna trust my friends in the administration. I'm gonna trust my friends in the government to do what needs to be done, solve it, balls in their hands. I've said plenty this last weekend. So if you guys wanna see my commentary on it, that's fine. You've seen MAGA Republicans block the release of the Epstein files in the House of Representatives,

like Mike Lawler, they're like, why are we even talking about this? Why would we talk about this? Here play this clip. And as I said, if somebody did something, if there is evidence of a crime committed, then prosecute them. In the absence of that, what are we talking about? You say there's a lot of nonsense. A lot of nonsense from whom? What do you think? Explain to me what you think the nonsense is here. Well, frankly, the fact that you're even covering this. I mean, I don't even understand, frankly, why we're spending a lot of time on Jeffrey Epstein.

The fact is he was a pedophile who was arrested. He committed suicide and his fixer, if you will, is being prosecuted. So at the end of the day, if there are people who were part of any crimes, then they should be prosecuted. But in the absence of that, what exactly are we looking to do? The information is there. It is well documented what he did. And beyond that, what exactly are we looking for?

Well, I understand. Just so you know, it's being covered because the deputy director of the FBI has said to have taken off work on Friday to protest the Justice Department-owned handling of this and there have been shouting matches reported inside the White House on this. So whether or not you think it's important, apparently there are people who are quite agitated about it, but I will move on. And look, I'm proud that at the Midas Touch Network,

we've been covering this diligently every step of the way for the past. Since Midas Touch was created, let me remind you of these videos that we've created. Hashtag Hold Trump Accountable was a video we created back in August of 2020. Let's play it. You know about sexual predators and things like that. You are one.

Alright. Here's what Donald Trump said about his old friend Jeffrey Epstein in 2002. I've known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. Donald Trump is heard making questionable comments about a young girl. You're going up the escalator?

I'm going to be dating her in 10 years. A woman had filed a lawsuit alleging Trump sexually assaulted her when she was only 13 years old. I go backstage and everyone's getting dressed. I'm the owner of the pageant. So I sort of get away with things like that. You know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful.

I just start kissing them. For the 22nd time, Donald J. Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct. He's me again, very aggressively. He was putting his hand up my skirt. She would not be my first choice. I'm very clear on this. When you're starved, they let you do it.

Touching my private parts. Grabbing by the... What does he think this is? He's been drew against the wall. It was a fight. She kept the dress. She's asking for a sample of Trump's DNA for her case. for a sample of Trump's DNA for a case.

And hashtag pedo Trump was a video we created in September of 2020, let's play it. Charges that Jeffrey Epstein was running a sex trafficking ring in the early 2000s that included underage girls as young as 14 years old. Donald Trump in 2002 said of Epstein, he's a lot of fun to be with. It's even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do.

And many of them are on the younger side. He routinely spoke fawningly of Jeffrey. He admired Epstein's lifestyle. Your daughter, she's beautiful. I'm a piece of, can I say this? A piece of, I can say this. She's actually always been very voluptuous. What does Tiffany have of Marla?

She's got Marla's legs. You don't know whether or not she's got this point here. You were playing tennis and you came off the court. Quote, look at that piece of s***. I would love some of that. It so happened that Trump was referring to Cohen's then 15-year-old daughters. I had the impression that he was interested in younger women and that, you know, women would age out for him.

Miss Teen Universe? Yeah, that's like giving Jeffrey Dahmer a cooking show. I go backstage before a show and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant and therefore I'm inspecting it. They stay there with no question. Donald Trump is heard making questionable comments about a young girl. You're going up the escalator? Yes. I'm going to be dating her in 10 years.

A lawsuit against the presumptive GOP nominee alleges he raped a girl when she was 13 years old. Prince Andrew answering questions for the first time about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. I don't know Prince Andrew, but it's a tough story. Trump has been photographed with Prince Andrew as far back as the year 2000. Gielin Maxwell is accused of helping Epstein sexually abuse underage girls. I've met her numerous times over the years especially since I lived in Palm Beach and

I guess they lived in Palm Beach but I wish her well. You know about sexual predators and things like that. I mean... You are one! Alright, I was going to say that but it's true. What do you know about sexual predators and things like that? I mean, sure. You are one. All right. I was going to say that. But it's true. There you have it, folks.
