Chapter 1: What dark past of Donald Trump is surfacing at this critical time?
Donald Trump's dark past is surfacing as is the dark past of other MAGA Republicans in Congress, or frankly, any member of Congress who has engaged in despicable conduct that they were trying to sweep under the rug. One thing that we're seeing happen right now is on a bipartisan basis,
some Republicans and Democrats, also being led by some MAGA Republican female leaders like Anna Paulina Luna, Nancy Mace, and even Lauren Boebert, are supporting a resolution that would publish all of the sexual harassment settlements and allegations that have been made against members of Congress, especially where hush money payments were made in order to do secret confidential settlements.
We caught up with a number of these MAGA Republicans on Capitol Hill during the State of the Union in order to ask them about this resolution, and it's being supported by Democrats, too. We could see another discharge petition on this as well.
while donald trump was giving that state of the union of course there were empty seats everywhere and that's all that everybody's talking about now as well the highly successful midas touch network boycott of the state of the union 70 plus members in the House and in the Senate boycotted. They joined the Midas Touch event. What a historic night that was to spend that time together.
But there were, inside the House chambers, a number of Epstein survivors who were there. And they had a powerful message for Donald Trump with their presence. They wore the butterfly pins. in honor of Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide. She worked at Mar-a-Lago when she was underage, and she was sex trafficked out of Mar-a-Lago by Epstein.
And then you also had survivors wearing teal scarves last night as well. This came at the same time where we learned about additional cover-up by the Department of Justice of the Epstein files, specifically regarding accusations by underage children against Donald Trump that are still being covered up right now.
There was great reporting originally by Roger Sullenberger on this, then PBS did some good reporting, and the House Oversight Dems did some great work on this. Give credit where credit is due to the great work they've all done. Here's what the Oversight Dems posted last night, right before Donald Trump was giving that stated that does that, what do you want to call it?
For the last few weeks, Oversight Democrats have been investigating the FBI's handling of allegations from 2019 of sexual assault on a minor against Donald Trump by a survivor. Oversight Democrats can confirm the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor.

Chapter 2: How are bipartisan efforts addressing sexual harassment in Congress?
Covering up direct evidence of a potential assault by Donald Trump is the most serious possible crime in this White House cover-up, they go on to write. Here's what NPR's investigation detailed, hat tip to Stephen Fowler. An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against Donald Trump.
Other documents that mention Trump have also been taken down. A few of them have been restored after they were called out by NPR, by Roger Sullenberger, and by the Midas Touch and others, and Aaron Parnas, for example. But here's what the report explains.
There appears to be at least 50 pages of FBI interviews regarding a specific survivor who accused Donald Trump of sexual abuse when she was a minor. That document is being covered up. NPR reviewed multiple sets of unique serial numbers. We call them, in legal jargon, we call them Bates numbers, appearing before and after the pages in question, stamped onto the documents.
And you can see in this latest tranche of documents that there are just dozens and dozens of these Bates numbers that are missing. These serial numbers, as they're calling it here, they are absolutely missing. And so
By the way, there are still 50 terabytes of documents that are missing as well, which means there's probably 50 million, 100 million records that have not been produced, and we believe, and our sources also tell us as well, that there are far more devastating information in the documents
that are being concealed by donald trump as congress member garcia posted this is the manifest document in the files the highlighted documents you see there are what is missing so let's just contrast for a moment what our doj is doing and say what they're doing in other countries right as you know in the uk peter mandelson who went by the name lord peter mandelson the former uk ambassador to the united states
He's been arrested in connection with his connections to Epstein. You have Andrew Mountbatten, who's to be Prince Andrew. He was arrested in connection with his connections to Epstein and everything we saw in the files there. In Poland, they just dropped a bombshell, as Bethany O'Leary explains. They are forming a full task force to rip through the Epstein files.
and are preparing to launch their own independent investigation. Special prosecutors are on the case and anybody who's associated with it in Poland will be uncovered. No stone will be left unturned is what the Polish officials are saying. Polish officials say they are not satisfied with the watered-down U.S.
releases and now officially view the Epstein files as a direct threat to Poland's national security. Thus, even America's closest Eastern European ally doesn't trust what Washington handed over.

Chapter 3: What significant actions were taken during the State of the Union regarding MAGA Republicans?
And the FBI claimed several months ago, or even over last summer rather, that there was no ongoing investigation. But now they're saying there is federal investigation, but when they testify before Congress, they say that there is no investigation. So that's what our DOJ is doing. And they're obviously hiding, as I said, about 50 terabytes of documents are probably being concealed right now.
The oversight Dems responded to that DOJ rapid response account and said, Records of FBI interviews with a survivor who alleged Trump sexually assaulted her as a child aren't duplicates and shouldn't be privileged. Are you saying there's an active ongoing federal investigation into Donald Trump? Did you just admit that you want to do an investigation?
Are you now claiming that because you are conducting an investigation into Trump, which you're never going to prosecute him, that that means you're going to withhold the documents by claiming that? I mean, just think about that. There's an ongoing investigation, we can't tell you who, but that's why all the Trump documents are being withheld? That's their trick that they're using?
I think that's indeed what they are doing.

Chapter 4: What messages did Epstein survivors convey at the State of the Union?
And don't forget to fill out the quick survey when you order to support the Midas Touch podcast. Enjoy responsibly. As always, a massive thanks to Indicloud for helping keep February in perspective.
Now, as I started this video, I also talked about how there were these MAGA Republican Congress members, these MAGA Congresswomen who were out there saying, you know what? It's even more than just, you know, the Epstein files. They're saying, we want you to out, we want to out our male colleagues here in the House of Representatives and in the Senate.
I don't care whether you're a MAGA Republican, If you're a Democrat, if you're an independent, doesn't matter. If you made hush money settlement payments for sexual assault, sexual harassment, anything like that, that should be revealed publicly. Don't we all agree with that? Here's what Lauren Boebert said. Let's play this clip.
Obviously you've called on Congressman Gonzalez to resign over alleged sexual misconduct. There's no resolution that would reveal a lot more about the culture of sexual misconduct in Congress. Are you supportive of that despite Congresswoman Mace?
I'm absolutely supportive of Congresswoman Mace's resolution to uncover the other sexual harassment issues that take place here in our nation's capital. And even further, I am supportive of releasing the Congressional Hush Money Slush Fund. There's been tens of millions of dollars that have been paid out over the years here in Congress to keep
uh hill staffers quiet about um alleged uh alleged sexual misconduct and other um forms of mistreatment in the office so i would love to see every congressman who's ever had to pay a settlement to a staffer and i'm certainly supportive of nancy mace's resolution i guess what would be your message to a staffer who finds themselves in these terrible situations where members are being creepy to them
I mean, it's awful. It's awful in any workplace. It certainly shouldn't be held here. We have high standards. We agree to these standards. We promise hundreds of thousands of people that we are leaders, leaders of integrity, and it shouldn't be happening here.
And here's what Nancy Mace and Ana Paulina Lunid told our reporter, Pablo Monriquez. Here, play this clip.
You called for the resignation of Tony Gonzalez. Have you heard anything back from leadership?

Chapter 5: What recent revelations involve the Department of Justice and Donald Trump?
I mean, a day or two after. I'll file on the 4th while I vote on the 5th.
If it's something like the Epstein files, it's going to take months and months and months to see those.
They'll probably just refer it to committee and sweep it under the rug like they always do. Word will die. Word will die. Everything goes to die in committee.
But if it's going to die in the committee, then how can the American people, how can Texans, his constituents specifically, know what happened?
Voters are going to have to turn out against him or force him to resign. I mean, I don't know how he moves forward. It was disgusting. It was shameful. And it's why many women feel like second-class citizens. And we just got to say no more. He's got to go.
Thank you so much, Congresswoman.
Thank you.
Now also as Donald Trump's dark past is surfacing as well, I gotta give a hat tip to Ryan Goodman's piece. And here's what he uncovered as well. Five days after Jeffrey Epstein's arrest, federal authorities directed New York law enforcement authorities to stand down their investigation related to Epstein, new documents released by the DOJ show.
So the Attorney General's, the Special Victims Unit, SVU, in New York City, in Manhattan, was told, do not investigate Epstein. The feds will handle it. And then the feds didn't really look after the co-conspirators. And the feds protected the Epstein class. Just look at these emails. Look at EFTA 156644. Here's what it says. These are from United States attorneys to each other.
