What's in those files is even more disgusting and grotesque than the worst nightbears of MAGA Republican Congress members. I'm, of course, referring to the Epstein files, which we know Donald Trump's name appears over and over again in those files that he and the MAGA Republicans are covering up. We know that because Pam Bondi and Cash Patel told him about it in May. As the government shutdown may near and end, what that does mean is Adelita Grijalva, the Democratic Congresswoman elect from Arizona's 7th Congressional District will become the 218 signature in a discharge petition leading to a vote to be taken in the House of Representatives to release the Epstein files. And it is critical that we continue to talk and report about Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans running a PPP, a peto-P, a petrope. protection program. The MAGA Republicans have spent more time covering up for a pedophile sex

trafficking ring than they have actually doing anything for the American people. And in fact, all they've done is inflict pain and suffering on the American people. So we did some deep dive reporting here on the Midas Touch Network. And after a reporter by the name of David Schuster said that his sources had told him that FBI agents who saw the Epstein files and had access to it, were in utter shock at just how bad it was. We put Allison Gill from Mueller, she wrote, and she has a show on the Midas Touch Network. We put her on the task,

and she went to her sources, and she found some horrifying information as well. Also, this weekend, we learned the following about Gilane Maxwell. It's from an NBC exclusive report based on documents obtained from the Democratic Judiciary Committee, or the Democratic members on the Judiciary Committee, led by Jamie Raskin. They got their hands on the emails that Gilane Maxwell was sending out of Camp Ryan, Texas,

the minimum security facility that she was moved to, which she's not allowed to be in because she's a convicted sex trafficker, but Donald Trump moved his close buddy. I mean, they're very close friends to Camp Ryan in this minimum security facility. She writes in her emails that Democrats just obtained this weekend. My situation has improved being at Brian. I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderland's looking glass. I am much, much happier here and more importantly, safe. So while Americans are starving to death and losing their health care, you should know that Donald Trump went out of his way to help convicted sex traffickers feel like Alice in Wonderland and feel all so happy living out their wildest fantasies in Camp Brian.

We also have learned more about the retaliation that other prisoners have faced and how fearful they are of saying anything about Geelaine Maxwell because apparently the warden of that prison is like giving so much favoritism at Trump's demand to Geelaine Maxwell. The warden's name is Dr. Tenisha All, who seems to be, in my opinion, engaging in outrageous behavior, helping Gilane and her lawyers. to gather documents and evidence and just making it a beautiful five-star stay for the convicted sex trafficker who doesn't even belong, is not even allowed to be in that facility? And also, there was the reporting I did over this weekend, and from the great folks at DropSight, I thought they did a great report at it as well. I'm talking about how Jeffrey Epstein in emails that were obtained by an Iranian-based hacking group to Ehud Barak. They were involved throughout the 2010 and Adabrak, former Israeli prime minister and defense minister.

They have emails going back and forth, talking about helping out everybody from the leader of Mongolia to the leader of Cote d'Ivois in Africa, Ivory Coast, in Africa, acquire Israeli surveillance systems and align them with the Israeli defense corporations, which gets their money from the United States. and that's a lot of the ways that Epstein, you know, made a lot of money making these links between the billionaires and the defense contracting firms and basically being a middleman and he used his sex trafficking ring to gain access to all of these people. Right. I laid out a lot of concepts right there, right? Let me deliver. Let me deliver with the receipts. Where do I start? Why don't I start with Allison Gill. So first we had David Schuster say, a few GOP House members say they've heard from FBI, DOJ contacts, that the Epstein files with copies in different agencies are worse than Michael

Wolfe's description of Epstein photos showing Trump with half-naked teenage girls. Speculation rumors are sweeping through the GOP caucus. Before I show Allison Gill, just a reminder, Democratic Senator White House asked Pam Bondi about this during her appearance before the Senate committee, and Bondi refused to answer about whether she saw photographs of Donald Trump with stains in his crotch with girls of indeterminate age that may have been in Jeffrey Epstein's possession, according to what Michael Wolfe says. Again, just to be clear, I don't know one way or another, Wolf says that this is what Epstein told him. And again, I'm giving you my opinions and I'm telling you what they said.

So here's what White House said. Here, play this clip. Let me ask you something else. There's been public reporting that Jeffrey Epstein showed people photos of President Trump with half-naked young women. Do you know if the FBI found those photographs in their search of Jeffrey Epstein's safe or premises or otherwise? Have you seen any such thing? You know, Senator White House, you sit here and make salacious remarks once again trying to slander President Trump left and right.

When you're the one who was taking money from one of Epstein's closest confidence, I believe, I could be wrong, correct me, Reid Hoffman, who was with Jeffrey Epstein on multiple occasions, and the senator sitting right next to you tried to block the flight logs from being released. Yet you're grilling me on President Trump

and some photograph with Epstein? Come on. The question is, did the FBI find those photographs that have been discussed publicly by a witness who claimed Jeffrey Epstein showed them to him? You don't know anything about that? Okay. Now, Alice and Gill said her FBI sources have described some of the content

that they've seen in these files here play this first clip. One source described hours and hours. of videos, of yacht parties and photo shoots and massages of clearly underage models, countless pictures of men, unknown to them. I asked, they said they didn't recognize many of them, with photos of them with nude underage girls and models, videos, just hours and hours. And then here, Alison Gill talks about what her reporting is found and what her sources are telling her. or play this clip. This week, a reporter named David Schuster revealed that multiple Republican

House members have heard from their contacts at the Department of Justice and the FBI that the Epstein files are actually far worse than previously thought, that they're worse than the alleged photos of Trump with nude girls that Michael Wolf reported on. The ones that Pam Bondi refused to deny the existence of during her congressional testimony, far worse than that, and that at least 100 House Republicans are ready to vote yes on the release of the Epstein files, not the discharge petition, but the vote that would follow. They want to vote yes so that they can get out ahead of what's coming. I've spoken to multiple verified sources on the condition of anonymity that actually

participated in the review of the Epstein files this past March. And I can confirm that what's in the files is much worse. I wrote it up this past July on Substack, and I reached out to my sources again after this news came out from David Schuster. I can also confirm through sources, again, who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, that the files were accessible to multitudes of FBI and Department of Justice personnel because of how they were stored. There was a lack of permission control. Everyone had access in those units.

Trump, Bondi, and Patel actually did this to themselves through their carelessness with securing the files. In fact, my sources say they're actually surprised that this hasn't gotten out to Congress sooner. What FBI and DOJ personnel saw was so devastating that some broke down while reviewing them. Many having young children the same age as the victims, many being survivors of sexual assault themselves, all being kept in the building on lockdown, not allowed to leave, and forced to sift through mountains of evidence and testimony, photos and videos,

all in the name of Kosh Patel's Pet Project, part of which some believe was to politically target the survivors themselves. Many felt they had a duty to protect their coworkers from seeing the contents. And many believed they had the duty to protect the survivors from retribution. And with all the FBI and Department of Justice eyes on these unsecure files, It is no wonder Republicans in the House with contacts in both of these agencies are aware of the full scope of the content of the files and how many times Donald Trump appears in them. We know he is. Pam Bondi said he was. Now that it's getting cold, my cats have started their daily migration to lying on top of our heating vents, which for some reason makes them unusually hungry.

Geelaine Maxwell's prison email shows she's happier at the minimum security facility in Camp Brian. They got her emails thanks to Jamie Raskin, Democratic Congress member. Here are the types of emails that she's sending. The institution, Camp Brian, is run in an orderly fashion,

which makes for a safer and more comfortable environment for all people concerned. Inmates and guards alike, she says. She goes on to say, my situation is improved by being at Camp Brian. The kitchen looks clean, no possums falling from the ceiling to fry, unfortunately, in ovens and become mingled with food being served, she wrote another message. I feel like I dropped through Alice in Wonderland's looking glass. I'm much happier here and more importantly, I am safe.

Jamie Raskin also got emails from others at the facility who were actually supposed to be there, unlike Elaine Maxwell who's not allowed to be there but got an exemption from Trump and the Bureau of Prisons to be there. So you have

other inmates saying that they believe she's receiving more care and attention than the typical prisoner quote, they are even delivering her meals directly to her and no inmates allowed to prepare meal for her. So they like can deliver her the food, the meals that she's eating, which is like grotesque. And then they basically say that if anybody complains about her or argues about her versus anything negative about her, they fear that there will be reprisals about her, reprisals that they may be retaliation. against. Maxwell's emails indicate she's able to access the warden for help, including arranging

visits and communicating with her lawyers. In an email Maxwell sent to one of her attorneys, she noted that she spoke to the warden when she had problems receiving documents by a deadline in her appeal before the Supreme Court. Quote, her creative solution was that you EM scan it to her, and she will scan back my changes, Maxwell wrote, referring to her email, to her lawyer, email. of course that is fantastic and it saves days and days and days they say and again this is such an unusual occurrence the warden is helping elaine send emails back and forth to her lawyer and lots of messages from inmates expressing fear they would be moved to a higher security facility for mentioning Maxwell and phone calls or emails and said they believe she's receiving more

care and attention a few other things i'll just show you quickly to. Formerly Prince Andrew with Virginia Joufrey. Virginia Joufrey was sex trafficked from Moralago. That's where Epstein and Elaine found her, according to Trump, then took her from Trump, and then sex trafficked her to people like Andrew, who the Democrats want to take Andrew's deposition. The Republicans are refusing to allow that deposition of Andrew. They've blocked that deposition. Here you see a photo from Epstein's birthday book from that. That 2003 birthday, the 50th birthday, which Trump wrote the birthday card in as well. And Trump claims it wasn't his signature.

But you see Epstein with some African soldiers here. He was providing defense equipment with the former Israeli prime minister to African nations, to other developing nations. And that's how he made a lot of his money. And he used the sex trafficking ring to build these connections. And he go, Ben, come on, man, you're getting into conspiratorial stuff. You don't do conspiratorial stuff on minus. Look at the email. I'm just going to show you the email.

This is from Epstein to Ehud Barak. Ehud Barak won at Gmail. Jeffrey Epstein's email was J.EEEE vacation at Gmail. And then here's what he wrote. With civil unrest exploding in Ukraine, Syria, Somalia, Libya, and the desperation of those in power, isn't this perfect for you? And Ehud Barak said, you're right in a way, but not simple to transform it into cash flow, a subject for Saturday.

And then they went on. There's hundreds of other emails where they talk. about their Mongolia plan, their Cote d'Ivois plan and other African nation plans. And by the way, you have Alassan Otara, the authoritarian leader of Cote d'Ivois still in power right now and used a lot of the Israeli surveillance stuff to clamp down on the opposition parties and opposition in general. Here is Congress member Robert Garcia talking about trying to get the deposition of Andrew and MAGA Republicans were blocking it here. Play this clip right here. Horrific crimes against women and underage girls. He is obviously being, I think, needing justice in the UK, the people of the UK, certainly

the royal family and others. He's getting the right response for what he has been accused of doing. It is important now. He has an opportunity to do the right thing and to help our investigation and to bring justice for the women and girls that have been abused. And so whether he wants to come and answer our questions here in the U.S. Or we go meet him in the U.K., he has an opportunity right now to actually begin, begin to actually rectify the horrific actions that he's been involved with and clearly has been accused of, including recently, of course, by Virginia Joufrey and others.

And so we are very serious that Prince Andrew would be a critical piece of our investigation. We think he actually knows a lot of key facts that would help us on our investigation get justice for the victims and survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. And then we have Jamie Raskins' letter to the warden of Camp Bryant, Dr. Tanisha Hall. And here's what the letter said. Two months ago, House Judiciary Committee Democrats wrote to demand answers from the DOJ and Bureau of Prisons about the Trump administration's inexplicable transfer of convicted sex trafficker, child sex trafficker, Gilane Maxwell to federal prison camp Brian.

a plum minimum security facility that you oversee and apparent flagrant violations of BOP policies, including one that prohibit sex offenders from placement in such facilities. Neither DOJ nor BOP has responded to the letter. Now, shocking new reports reveal that Ms. Maxwell is not only receiving VIP treatment at Camp Ryan, including private meetings with mysterious visitors,

meal delivery to her dormitory and other special perks, but that you and other prison officials have retaliated against inmates who dare to speak about her fawning preferential treatment. I write to determine why this is happening and why you appear to have joined the administration's effort to cover up the decades-long international multi-billion dollar Epstein Maxwell sex trafficking conspiracy. It goes on to talk about the Wall Street Journal's October 2020-2015 investigation revealed excessive special treatment afforded to Ms. Maxwell since she was transferred, to Camp Ryan. Lush treatment not available to any other inmates at the camp. In mid-August 2025,

hundreds of inmates were locked down during their usual outdoor recreation time, while Ms. Maxwell met with multiple unidentified visitors in the prison chapel. The identity of those visitors remain unknown, although inmates speculated there were VIPs requiring special security measures. One inmate reported that Ms. Maxwell returned with a smile on her face, saying the meeting went well. Inmates also reported that guards deliver meals directly to Ms. Maxwell's dormitory room, a privilege not extended to other inmates. Ms. Maxwell received escorts to the recreation area for late-night workouts and has been permitted to shower after all the inmates had been confined to their dormitories. the special treatment has gotten to be so extensive and lavish as one prison consultant told Fox News, it appears you are treating Maxwell more like she's the guest in a hotel as opposed to an inmate in a federal prison.

Even as Ms. Maxwell receives customized and pampered care from you all, press reporting has exposed an alarming pattern of summary and discriminatory retaliation against other inmates at Camp Ryan who exercised their right to speak out about her jarringly different treatment. The most egregious example involves Julie Howell, a 44-year-old inmate serving a 12-month sentence for theft. In early August 2025, shortly after Ms. Maxwell arrival, Ms. Howell provided a statement to the Daily Telegraph expressing what many inmates felt. Every inmate I've heard from is upset that she is here. The facility is supposed to house nonviolent offenders. Human trafficking is a violent crime. Your response to Ms. Howell's speech was

swift and punitive. Shortly after Ms. Howell's comment was published, you removed her from a training program she had just been selected and promptly transferred her to federal detention center, Houston, a higher security and significantly harsher federal facility. It's hard to overstate the severity of that punishment. FDC Houston is a facility designed for, among other things, the containment of extremely dangerous, violent, or escape-prone inmates. Unlike Camp Bryan, in FDC, Houston, has minimal outdoor and recreation facilities, offer sharply reduced educational and occupational programs, and is plagued by constant inmate turnover.

As Ms. Howell's attorney, Patrick McLean noted, the message of your harsh retaliation against her was unmistakable and widely understood. Nobody's going to say anything about Gilane Maxwell now. I mean, I'm reading this. Like, don't you have chills listening to this? Like, how sick? How disgusting are these Trump regime people covering up this sex pedo trafficking ring, giving

Elaine Maxwell all of these benefits, and retaliating these are sick human beings. Oh my God. Censoring, silencing, and punishing inmates who dare to speak out about this outrageous disparity of treatment appears to be your overriding goal at this point. During a town hall meeting that you reportedly convened, you issued an explicit warning. any inmates who so much as talked to the press about Ms. Maxwell would be transferred to harsher facilities. Even an inmate who spoke about that town hall to the press was transferred in retaliation. These directives constitute outrageously unfair treatment and appears to violate the Bureau of Prisons regulations, and it cites the regulations.

And while prison officials may limit inmates' First Amendment rights to preserve security in order, you have provided no such justification for why the security requires a Geelaine Maxwell gag order. Your abusive administrative transfer authority to punish an inmate speech about unfair and discriminatory condition in prison suggest that you and your superiors are concerned with providing white glove service and optimal customer experience to Ms. Maxwell more than you are for following basic fairness and your own regulations. These new revelations are consistent with the Trump regime's broader pattern of breaking the law to silence critics and rewarding allies like Ms. Maxwell. As we detailed in our August 12th letter, Ms. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for conspiring

with Jeffrey Epstein to sexually exploit and abuse minor girls as young as 14. Ms. Maxwell was involved both as a groomer and a procurer of girls, as well as a direct participant in their sexual abuse. Ms. Maxwell's mysterious and unprecedented transfer to Camp Brian just days after Attorney General Blanche, Trump's personal defense attorney met with her, raises all of these issues. So I think you get the point here.
