In the wake of new Jeffrey Epstein emails implicating Trump, the GOP unhelpfully backed up the president by releasing 20,000 new Epstein files of their own, and Josh Johnson unpacks new revelations, including the two men’s frenemy relationship and apparent connection to cosmetics heiress Celina Midelfart, as well as conservative pundits like Megyn Kelly’s attempts to downplay the bombshell. Plus, Troy Iwata offers a scathing critique of Epstein’s email grammar. #DailyShow#JoshJohnson#JeffreyEpstein#Trump
NYTIMES Intro: The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday released more than 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate. Times reporters provide context on key emails.
Breaking: Newly Released Epstein Emails Raise Questions About Trump’s Awareness
House Democrats have released previously undisclosed emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that suggest President Trump may have known more about Epstein’s illegal conduct than he has publicly admitted. Shortly after, House Republicans countered by releasing over 20,000 pages of Epstein’s documents. While Trump dismissed the revelations as a “hoax” meant to distract from the government shutdown, the emails paint a detailed picture worth examining.
Three Key Emails Democrats Highlighted:
2011 – “The dog that hasn’t barked”: Epstein wrote to Ghislaine Maxwell that a victim (reportedly Virginia Giuffre, recruited from Mar-a-Lago) “spent hours at my house with him” and noted Trump “has never once been mentioned” despite investigations. Epstein wrote he was “75% there” on something unspecified.
2015 – Strategic planning: Journalist Michael Wolff alerted Epstein that CNN planned to ask Trump about their relationship. They discussed crafting Trump’s response, with Wolff suggesting Epstein could either “hang him” or “save him, generating a debt.”
2019 – Direct accusation: Epstein told Wolff “of course” Trump “knew about the girls” and claimed Trump “asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Other Revealing Exchanges:
Wolff repeatedly encouraged Epstein to speak publicly against Trump, suggesting it could “garner you great sympathy and help finish him” just before the 2016 election
Epstein closely monitored Alexander Acosta’s 2017 confirmation as Labor Secretary—the same prosecutor who gave Epstein his lenient 2008 plea deal
In 2019, Epstein’s adviser analyzed Trump’s financial disclosures in detail, calling them “100 pages of nonsense”

“We’re in a hell of a lot of trouble. Us, America, but the world is in a lot of trouble because the most powerful man in the world is both evil and demented.” Psychologist Dr John Gartner lays out the signs and symptoms he sees of “dementia and malignant narcissism” in Donald Trump, and explains why he thinks the president won’t make it to the end of his term “compos mentis”. Dr John Gartner is founder of Duty To Warn and former assistant professor of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University Medical School.
Josh Johnson dives into newly released bombshell emails from Jeffrey Epstein that might implicate Trump, considering he referred to the president as the “dog that hasn’t barked.” Plus, on the heels of whistleblower revelations that Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison accommodations include puppies and TV time, Ronny Chieng explains why this is all perfectly normal. #DailyShow#JoshJohnson#Epstein#Trump
I love how the extra 20 years saves you about 15% in your monthly payment but then more than doubles your interest–use long term compounding on your investments, not your extending the pain of paying off your house!

Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein told Ghislaine Maxwell to “remove” Donald Trump from a mysterious power list, according to a new cache of intriguing emails released Thursday.
The trove—more than 18,000 messages from Epstein’s Yahoo account published by Bloomberg—depicts Maxwell as closely involved in money movements, reputational pushback, and intimate logistics.”
One of the most startling Trump-related moments is disarmingly brief. On Sept. 14, 2006, Maxwell wrote, “Plse review list and add or remove peeps,” attaching a roster of 51 politicians, financiers, and power players.

The purpose of the list isn’t stated—Bloomberg could not determine it from the email itself, given that there was no subject line or context to indicate what it referred to—Epstein’s two-word reply was short but striking.
It said simply: “Remove trump.”
The removal of Trump’s name from whatever the list was came two months after Epstein was charged in Florida with solicitation of prostitution, and as federal scrutiny was snowballing.
A year later, Epstein would sign a secretive 2007 non-prosecution deal that spared him federal charges.
Some accounts suggest Epstein and Trump had fallen out in 2004, with some attributing that to a multi-million-dollar property deal dispute. Epstein was found dead in his cell in 2019, at the age of 66, while facing child sex trafficking charges.
However, Trump—under intense pressure to explain his friendship with Epstein—told reporters in late July that he cut ties after Epstein “stole” female employees who worked at his Mar-a-Lago private members club.
Yet a Daily Beast exclusive in early August reported that the billionaire financier had remained a member of the exclusive venue until October 2007, more than a year after he was indicted on one count of soliciting prostitution, and despite widespread media coverage that disclosed allegations of his sexual contact with minors.
The president has sought to play down his friendship with a man he described in 2002 as “a terrific guy,” as the 79-year-old fights the release of the files related to the late pedophile financier.

And this latest exchange between Epstein and his associate and co-conspirator Maxwell, 63—who is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking—perhaps indicates that the friendship between Epstein and Trump had truly ended.
The messages also add detail to a well-documented social overlap in the late ’90s and early 2000s, including the widely seen 2000 photo of Trump, wife Melania, Epstein, and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago, and coverage of numerous events where the now-president crossed paths with Epstein and Maxwell.
This latest release of Maxwell’s emails is likely to do little to quell the storm of questions facing him about Epstein.
Seeing what the current Trump admin DOJ just did saying there is no client list🙄 really pisses me off knowing I have and had this list for so long already.
I originally had all of this on my old news site and that server was deleted a few years ago do to no funding.
I use to be able to access this all from Archive.org but just noticed today it has all been deleted.
Seems like they thought all their bases was covered before saying this list doesn’t exist.
The 943 pages of court documents from Virginia Giuffre’s trial against Maxwell are the source from which the names were extracted. Has nothing to do with the black book.

The black book, which is the complete, unredacted version of Jeffrey Epstein’s Rolodex and notes, is another factor.

Notes:
Document Context: The document (gov.uscourts.nysd.447706.1320.0) is a motion filed by Virginia Giuffre’s attorneys to exceed the ten-deposition limit, specifically listing individuals like Juan Alessi, Maria Alessi, Dave Rodgers, Johanna Sjoberg, Bill Clinton, Ross Gow, Jeffrey Epstein, Sarah Kellen, and Nadia Marcincova as proposed deponents.
Other names, such as attorneys (e.g., Sigrid McCawley, Laura A. Menninger) and judges (e.g., Loretta A. Preska), are included as they are directly involved in the legal proceedings.
Additional Names: Names like Emmy Taylor, Cindy Lopez, and Doug Band come from related case documents, such as flight logs or mentions in depositions. Medical providers (e.g., Chris Donahue, Wah Wah) are listed in the context of Giuffre’s treatment records.
Names from X posts (e.g., Bob Weinstein, Sergey Brin) are included as they may appear in related filings, though their presence in this specific document is less certain.
Pseudonyms and Redactions: The list includes pseudonyms (e.g., Jane Doe #1–#4, John Doe 107) and redacted names as referenced in the sources. These are counted as unique individuals where specified.
Exclusions: I excluded names of judges, court staff, or legal representatives not directly tied to the document’s content (e.g., those only mentioned in passing in media reports) unless explicitly referenced in the filing or depositions.
Names like “another prince” or “large hotel chain owner” were not included due to lack of specificity.
Limitations: Without direct access to the full document, some names may still be missing.
The sources suggest nearly 200 names across the Giuffre v. Maxwell case filings, but not all are in this specific document. Names like Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking, and David Copperfield appear in related depositions or emails but may not be in the motion itself.
Verification: Being named does not imply wrongdoing, as many individuals are witnesses, staff, or tangentially connected. Some names (e.g., Eric J.) are incomplete due to partial information in the sources.
Virginia Giuffre’s sudden death that smells more like a Clintonside than anything, was an attempt to try to stop this.
Virginia Giuffre is a name you are familiar with. As a survivor who confronted billionaires and predators in broad daylight, challenging them to deny their actions, she was among the most courageous voices to speak out against the elite pedophile network.

It has been acknowledged by FBI Director Kash Patel that he has not received the pathologist’s report stating that Jeffrey Epstein was strangled to death.
Regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case, Megyn Kelly has criticized FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino for not being “fully transparent.”
The FBI abruptly disclosed the finding of video footage that allegedly confirms Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide after six years of claiming that both surveillance cameras malfunctioned during Epstein’s death.

Peter Mandelson was fired as Britain’s ambassador to the United States on Thursday after his ties to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein became another unwelcome problem for the embattled Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Bloomberg published a trove of emails between Mandelson and Epstein, in which Mandelson expressed support for his friend and offered to discuss his infamous 2008 Florida case with his political contacts.
YES!
