What did Republicans do to block access to critical Trump‑Epstein evidence?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
So I want to very methodically go over with you what just went down in the past 24 hours as Republicans blocked our access, we the people, our access to critical information about Donald Trump's dark past. What the GOP did happened in plain view, and I don't want to resort to hyperbolic language or partisan tropes. I just want to show you the receipts of what went down at one of the House committee hearings yesterday. Now, I'm sure you know by now the Kash Patel testimony, which was an utter disaster for Patel. We covered it a ton on the Midas Touch Network. We showed Patel saying that there were no other co-conspirators involved with Epstein. It was just Epstein as like a lone wolf And then Kash Patel said he didn't know how many times Donald Trump's name was on the Epstein files.

If it was one or 10,000 or 10,000 times, he has no memory. But there are other instances that I think are interesting. even more powerful that are not getting enough attention. And this occurred when Democrats tried to force votes to issue subpoenas on certain things to get documents and records. Who would be opposed to getting documents and records regarding the financial transactions of Epstein? regarding why Ghislaine Maxwell was moved from a maximum security facility after she was sentenced for child sex trafficking in Tallahassee to a minimum security facility at Camp Bryan, Texas, after Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney, Todd Blanch, who became the number two in charge at the Department of Justice, interviewed her and gave her immunity.

I want to show you why is it that Dan Bongino, who knows a lot, why isn't he testifying before Congress after he apparently threatened to quit for the cover-up of the Epstein files, also in its relationship to Donald Trump's dark past? So let's just go through it as I would. if I were a trial lawyer like I was back in the day and I was presenting the evidence to a jury. So why don't you be my jury and let me just bring out the receipts one by one of what went down yesterday. So at this house committee meeting, at this house committee hearing, All of the Republicans, everyone except for Republican Thomas Massey, blocked a motion from Democratic Congress member Raskin to subpoena the banks for information related to Epstein.
Ben Meiselas 2:52
The banks. They block that. Why would you block subpoenas to the banks to get information about Epstein's financial transactions? Here, watch it go down for yourself. Play
Jamie Raskin 3:05

one can say this

motion.

How did Kash Patel’s testimony downplay co‑conspirators in the Epstein case?

Jamie Raskin 3:15
The motion is to subpoena the CEOs of these four banks to bring in all records relating to their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein and to produce all records reflecting it. These four banks have flagged to the government one point five billion dollars in suspicious transactions relating

to them. I move the
Jamie Raskin 3:34
table. MR. DIAMOND JUST RELEASED A STATEMENT
Jim Jordan 3:37
SAYING HE WOULD BE HAPPY TO COMPLY. THE MOTION TO TABLE, THE MOTION OFFERED BY THE GENTLEMAN FROM MARYLAND, THE MOTION TO TABLE IS NOT DEBATABLE. THE QUESTION OCCURS ON THE MOTION TO TABLE. THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. THOSE OPPOSED, NO. NO. PIN TO THE CHAIR. THE AYES HAVE IT. THE MOTION IS TABLED.
Ben Meiselas 3:51
Now, in this next clip I'm going to show you, you will see all of the Republicans, again, it's other than Massey, but I'll just say all of the Republicans blocking an effort by the Democrats to subpoena Dan Bongino to testify on the Epstein files, right? Bongino had reportedly considered resigning from his position over the refusal to release the full Epstein files. But they want to prevent Dan Bongino from testifying. I thought Dan Bongino is a tough guy. Right. He's a former podcaster. He was out there when he was a podcaster saying that the FBI was covering up the Epstein files and he was going to make it his life mission to release it. Why wouldn't you show up and testify? Are you scared, Bongino?
Ben Meiselas 4:40
Are you scared? What's the Republican Party scared of? Why would they vote down this subpoena?
