Donald Trump's dark past is surfacing at the worst time for him. He's trying to do everything he can distract from his cover-up of the Epstein files before the midterms.

But everybody knows that he and his DOJ are covering up the Epstein files and the child sex trafficking ring. So Donald Trump's Attorney General and former criminal defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, had to go on this New York Post podcast where he was like, look, this is not about protecting Trump. There's nothing to see here. Donald Trump doesn't have anything to do with Epstein. Watch this here, play this clip. Over the last four years, then you're blinded. So this was never, ever, ever about protecting President Trump, ever. And so what the documents did reveal that during the civil lawsuits, when he was named improperly, the lawyers would call him, he didn't fight. He said, come over talk to me. I got nothing to hide. Then Todd Blanche says, you know, there's this misperception out

there that I'm supposed to be separate and independent from the White House. No, I work for Donald Trump. Okay. Yeah, we know that. That's why you are all involved in covering up a child sex trafficking ring, the Epstein files, and you've turned the Department of Justice into a racketeering enterprise for protecting the Epstein class. It is disgusting. Here, play this clip. So there was this misperception that there's this separation and independence between the Department of Justice and the White House, and everybody likes to champion that, and they accused me of not suffering from independence. I don't.

I work for President Trump. But they did too. They did too. So this idea that Garland was just on his own making decisions independent of what the Biden administration wanted him to do is not true. And by the way, I'm not being critical of that. What I'm being critical of is the lie. that he was independent. He wasn't.

More from Donald Trump's Attorney General Todd Blanche during this absolutely disastrous interview with the New York Post podcast. And he's like, okay, okay, I admit it, I admit it. So we've made mistakes with the Epstein files. Okay, maybe a reviewer missed a name here or there. But no biggie. That's what this is all about. You're still covering up three to five million documents, which could mean 30, 40, 50 million pages, because documents could be multi-page documents. Also, there are certain other areas of the investigation you're still covering up, like the financial crimes, all of the foreign crimes that were being committed. But, okay, you've just made a little mistakes.

Here, watch how pathetic this is. Here, play this clip. And by the way, we made mistakes. And I've owned up to those mistakes, meaning a reviewer that's reviewing documents, maybe didn't redact a name and they should have, which there's no excuse for that, but mistakes were made. But what happened when we were called out for those mistakes? We owned up to them, and we fixed them.

And so I don't know what happens next with respect to the public's perception of the work that we did, but I can tell you that President Trump from day one said release as many of the files. I want everything released when the Epstein Transparency Act was passed by Congress. The president signed it like within a day, two days. days. And then we put our lawyers to work to comply with the statute, which we did. And I don't know. I can tell you that... Well, they, I mean, the Democrats obviously are trying to tie some dirt to President Trump because he knew Epstein back in the day.

Yes. And by the way, amazingly, you didn't hear a peep about Epstein during four Biden years. And make no mistake, if President Trump did something wrong or was in the Epstein files, if you think that Garland and Chris Ray and Biden wouldn't have exposed that. And when asked about Jeffrey Epstein, Attorney General Todd Blanche says, look, there's no reason to doubt that he committed suicide. Of course, this was death by suicide. Really?

Really? Here play this clip. And what do you think of his death? I mean, do you think it was suspicious? Or do you, are you comfortable that it was a suicide? I'm comfortable with a suicide. I mean, I spent a lot of time on that. And unfortunately, we can never satisfy because the jail down in Manhattan, I used to work right next door to it for many years, all the recordings weren't working.

There was staff shortages, so the right people weren't checking on him. So there was a process failure at the jail that has led to these, that in part has led to the questions around his death, but no, I think he committed suicide.

And I also want to give a hat tip to Midas Touch network host Katie Fang for her lawsuit, pushing forward every day on behalf of the survivors to release the millions of documents that the Trump

regime is still covering up. I also want to give a hat tip to New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres because yesterday he filed a federal lawsuit against Epstein's longtime attorney, Darren Indyke and his accountant Richard Kahn and the Epstein estate. The suit accuses the two men of helping run, pay for, and hide Epstein's sex trafficking operation, including abuse, at the Zorro ranch, which we've covered a lot here on the Midas Touch Network, in New Mexico. It also seeks to block them from profiting from the estate. Also recall New Mexico has been filing legal actions against the Trump regime for covering up the Epstein files and refusing to turn over the Epstein files for New Mexico's investigation of what took place at the Zorro ranch. The Trump regime

covering up the Zorro Ranch documents, which is absolutely, absolutely heinous behavior over there. Here's what New Mexico State Attorney General Raul Torres said yesterday. Here, play this clip, a powerful press conference, and he was there with some of the survivors. Let's play him. And we continue to seek access to the complete unredacted Epstein file. Nevertheless, we are here today to mark an. important milestone and the use of another legal tool at our disposal to hopefully shed light on individuals in Jeffrey Epstein's orbit who were participants in what we describe as an ongoing

criminal enterprise that facilitated human trafficking and sexual abuse at Zorro Ranch and beyond. And so today we have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court here in the District of New Mexico, naming Darren Indyke and Richard Kahn as co-executors of the estate of Jeffrey Epstein and the 1953 trust. Those that trust and that estate currently holds in excess of $100 million. And as it currently stands, Mr. Indyke and Mr. Kahn as co-executors and beneficiaries stand to benefit substantially from the distribution of resources out of that trust. without some intervening action, which is at the heart of what we're doing today.

And so we have filed this lawsuit seeking to enjoin any distribution from the trust and to halt any allocation of any of those monies, which are a product of Mr. Epstein's ongoing criminal conduct. And frankly, if anyone is entitled to a recovery of Jeffrey Epstein's estate, it's the survivors. The Epstein survivors who were targeted and trafficked here in New Mexico and beyond. Now, even former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is saying, when we finally see what's in those Epstein files that Trump is covering up, people are going to be even more shocked and disgusted, including Trump supporters. Watch what former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton says. Play this clip. Against the release of the Epstein files. And when we finally

see all the Epstein files, I think even the people who supported Trump are going to be shocked by what it shows about Trump. And then she goes on to say that she believes, and she's been spot on with all of the stuff that Putin has on Trump. I mean, she was calling it out 10 years ago. She says, I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump, whether it's photos, videos, whatever it might be. Listen to what former Secretary of State Clinton has to say over here. Let's play this clip. I continue to believe that Putin has things on Trump. I continue to believe that he is holding photos, videos, whatever it might be.

Now, in the Katie Fang litigation against the Trump regime, The Trump regime filed an appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeal trying to block Katie Fang and saying that she doesn't have jurisdiction and that the Epstein Transparency Act, that Trump was forced to sign into law after it overwhelmingly passed the House and the Senate, that it didn't provide standing to actually file lawsuits in the first place. So remember this as well. There's the second Epstein Transparency Act, charge petition. When Congress comes back into session after the midterms, that gets voted on right away. That's going to pass. That will further provide standing to state attorneys general,

as well as to survivors to file lawsuits against the Trump regime and the Trump DOJ. So that's coming down the pipeline as well. It's going to be veto proof. So there's going to be such overwhelming support, especially with what's about to happen in the midterms. And then let's not forget yesterday, J.D. Vans, when he was giving a speech, when he was heckled, a protester said, release the Epstein files. Release the Epstein files. Stop covering up child sex trafficking. Let me show you what went down here. Play this clip. Reps. Far left cartel that subjected this country to woke insanity for years.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to have to amend something I said earlier. I said that we have had zero illegal border crossings in the United States of America. And we're seeing that a lot with the protests taking place. And these are protests also from people who were former MAGA supporters, former right-wing people. And it's all people at this point are like, why are you covering up a child sex trafficking ring? And it's so obvious that you all are doing it. And we likely know the reason why Trump and the Trump regime is doing it, given Trump's relationship with Epstein and Trump's relationship with Jean Casablanca and Jean-Luc Brunel and

that whole crew. But the walls are going to close in on him. They absolutely are, folks. Era of accountability is here. And I'm just so honored to be working with Katie Fang, man.
