How is Trump allegedly involved in a cover-up?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
It's not the art of the deal, it is the art of the cover-up, and we're seeing now the Trump administration orchestrate a cover-up of the Epstein files, which they claim they were going to release. You'll note our reporting yesterday where the MAGA influencers were basically saying the Epstein files are being destroyed by the deep state, even though Donald Trump wanted to release them all, they're being destroyed. Then earlier today, the Department of Justice sent a letter to Anna Paulina Luna, the MAGA Republican congresswoman who's running a subcommittee whose mission is to, I guess, release the Epstein files, the MLK files, the JFK files. the rfk files and also ufo files all of that's under her purview the doj basically said we're not going to release it we are doing our due diligence to look through all of these documents and then we're not turning it over and then that caused chaos in maga world because they all said i thought you were going to release it are you trying to cover it up

And then Donald Trump paraded out his attorney general, Pam Bondi, and she tried to basically put out some red meat for her base. And she was like, we're going to release the flight logs. We're going to release some of the flight logs. We can't release a lot of the other stuff, but the flight logs. And so I was like, you mean the flight logs that were released back in 2021? Do you think people are so stupid that they forgot that the flight logs were already released? They were released during the Ghislaine Maxwell trafficking trial, where Donald Trump wished Ghislaine Maxwell, who was Epstein's trafficker, Trump wished her well before that trial and basically hope that she did well. He goes, I wish her well during the trial.

But those flight logs have Donald Trump's name at least seven times. Repeatedly, Donald Trump is mentioned. So if you release those flight logs, we're going to see Trump almost more than anybody on that chat. And get this too, after Epstein died under circumstances that let's just say are more than curious, Donald Trump got Epstein's jet to use for his campaign from an intermediary who purchased the jet from Epstein's estate. And then Trump put the Trump 2024 logo over Epstein's jet and was flying that around to different campaign stops. So let's just talk about what went down. Let's go through the different permutations. Let's bring out our receipts right here. The right-wing influencer named DC Drano responds to MAGA Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna. She goes, my office just received a formal response from the DOJ on the Jeffrey Epstein JFK MLK and RFK files, to which Drano, who's a right-wing MAGA influencer, goes, The DOJ has officially halted release of the Epstein client list. They did not give a date when they would release it.

Not sure why they don't just release it in accordance with Donald Trump's executive order. As our editor-in-chief Ron Filipkowski writes, what a surprise. MAGA has been screaming for the Epstein client list for years, and for some reason, Donald Trump's DOJ doesn't want to release it. They might need to do some redactions first. Now, It should be noted that Donald Trump and Epstein were very close friends. They hung out in Florida all of the time. Donald Trump is quoted as saying that Epstein is a, quote, great guy who likes women on the younger side. Some of the women who were trafficked by Epstein were found at Mar-a-Lago, for example, and one of Epstein's more well-known victims, someone by the name of Virginia Giuffre.

She was homeless. She got a job at Mar-a-Lago. That was the first job that she got after being homeless. Then Ghislaine Maxwell found her working at Mar-a-Lago, brought her over to Epstein, had her massage Epstein, and then Epstein began to traffic Virginia Giuffre. That was one of the kind of modus operandi that Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell would do together.

What are the Epstein files and why are they controversial?

And again, Trump's name is repeatedly on the plane list. deposition testimony from the various Epstein cases that have already been released publicly has Donald Trump's name on it. Victim of Epstein's trafficking says that when she was on the plane with Epstein, he called up Trump and then they landed in Atlantic City to go to Trump's casino and
