BOMBSHELL: Hidden Epstein files IMPLICATE TRUMP

Quick Read

Congressman Ro Khanna reveals that three crucial FBI interview memoranda implicating Donald Trump in alleged sexual abuse of a minor are missing from the public record, sparking accusations of a cover-up and calls for immediate legal and legislative action.
Crucial FBI interviews implicating Donald Trump are missing from public Epstein files, despite being provided to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense.
Congressman Ro Khanna asserts the withholding of these documents is a clear violation of law and a potential 'enormous cover-up.'
Republicans are criticized for pursuing politically motivated depositions while failing to hold Trump's allies with direct Epstein ties accountable.

Summary

Congressman Ro Khanna discusses the disturbing revelation that three FBI interview memoranda, detailing a woman's allegations of sexual abuse against Donald Trump when she was a minor, are missing from public release. These documents were reportedly provided to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense, indicating their existence and relevance. Khanna and the host, Brian Tyler Cohen, frame this as a potential cover-up by the Department of Justice and a blatant violation of the law. They explore various avenues for forcing the release of these documents, including public pressure, lawsuits, new legislation (Epstein Transparency Act 2.0), and the appointment of a special master. The conversation also critiques the perceived hypocrisy of Republicans in Congress, who are accused of politicizing Hillary Clinton's deposition while failing to pursue accountability for Trump's allies, such as Howard Lutnick, who have direct ties to Epstein. Khanna emphasizes the stark contrast between the lack of accountability in the US government compared to international actions against Epstein associates.
The alleged withholding of FBI documents implicating a former President in serious allegations raises fundamental questions about transparency, equal application of the law, and the integrity of the justice system. It highlights a perceived double standard in accountability for powerful individuals in the United States compared to other nations, potentially eroding public trust and undermining efforts to achieve justice for Epstein's survivors.

Insights

1Missing FBI Interviews Implicate Trump

Three of four FBI interview memoranda detailing a woman's allegations of sexual abuse against Donald Trump when she was a minor are missing from public records. These documents were provided to Ghislaine Maxwell's defense, indicating their existence and relevance.

Congressman Ro Khanna states, 'There is a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was a minor child. There are four times that the FBI interviewed her. Only one of those interviews has been publicly released. ... three of those interviews are missing.' He adds that a document 'said that all four of those interview memorandum were produced to Maxwell Gileain Maxwell during discovery but they are not public.'

2DOJ Accused of Cover-up and Law Violation

The Department of Justice is accused of violating the law by withholding these three FBI interview documents, especially if the allegations are against a former president, which Congressman Khanna calls an 'enormous cover-up.'

Khanna states, 'Well, first of all, they're in clear violation of the law.' He later adds, 'did the Department of Justice selectively refuse to release testimony because the allegations were against the president of the United States? I mean that is an enormous cover up if true.'

3Lack of Accountability for Trump Allies

Republicans in Congress are criticized for their perceived hypocrisy: politicizing Hillary Clinton's deposition (who allegedly has no direct ties to Epstein) while being reluctant to subpoena Trump's allies, such as Howard Lutnick, who are directly implicated in the Epstein files.

The host asks, 'Is there any reason why Howard Lutnik, who was smiling in pictures with the guy, wouldn't also be called in to testify?' Khanna responds, 'Lutnik, who's all over the files, who lied about his relationship with Epstein, who had alleged business dealings with Epste is still sitting there as America's ambassador to the world for business. ... when it comes to the vote of subpoenaing, they're very very hesitant to do anything that's going to offend Donald Trump.'

4International vs. US Accountability

There is a significant disparity in accountability for Epstein-related individuals between the United States and other countries. While nations like the UK and Norway have seen prosecutions and resignations, the US government has shown a lack of investigations or consequences.

Khanna notes, 'All over the world, you're seeing prosecutions and resignations. Just today, the World Economic Forum CEO resigned. You've had the Prince, former Prince Andrew prosecuted, investigated. Lord Mendelson arrested. You've had the former Norwegian prime minister arrested.' He contrasts this with the US: 'we have no accountability.'

Lessons

  • Advocate for the passage of an 'Epstein Transparency Act 2.0' to legislatively mandate the release of all missing FBI survivor statements, including the three documents implicating Donald Trump.
  • Support or initiate legal action in the Southern District of New York to compel the Department of Justice to release the withheld Epstein-related documents, citing their legal obligation.
  • Call for a select committee or dedicated oversight hearings in Congress to investigate the alleged cover-up of Epstein files and demand accountability from individuals like Howard Lutnick and others tied to the scandal.
