Transcript of Trump DOJ Blocks New Probe Over His Dark Past New

Mein Name ist Alexandra und ich habe GoFundMe genutzt, indem ich einen Spendenaufruf darüber gemacht habe für eine Familie. Ich wohne in der Innenstadt von Leipzig und es hat bei uns einen ganz, ganz schlimmen Brand gegeben, Wohnungsbrand, der sich über mehrere Etagen tatsächlich ausbreitete. Wir sind so ein Mehrfamilienblock und mein Freund war derjenige, der gesagt hat: Ey, guck mal, hier gibt es ein Portal, GoFundMe heißt das. Dann habe ich mir das angeschaut und das war dann der Startpunkt. Also was ich jetzt natürlich erreichen konnte, die Familie hat jetzt erst mal eine Not- unterkunft. Die haben vorher wirklich auch in einem Hotel/Hostel gelebt, sind jetzt seit der letzten Woche in einer vorübergehenden Wohnung, haben jetzt aber die Chance gehabt, wirklich Kinderzimmer zu kaufen.

The cover-up of Donald Trump's dark and disgusting past by his Department of Justice continues. Now we are learning that the Department of Justice is covering up and blocking the New Mexico state investigation into Epstein's Zorro Ranch, into Epstein's connections with lots of different people, likely including people like Donald Trump. And after this investigation into all of the things Epstein did in New Mexico was opened, the New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres figured, look, I'm the New Mexico AG, the DOJ is going to want to work with me, right? No, the same way the DOJ has been fighting Midas Touch host Katie Fang and attacking and assaulting the victims and survivors of Epstein, they are refusing to respond and cooperate with the New Mexico investigation. And the New Mexico state investigation needs DOJ cooperation. Operation, because let's not forget, it was the DOJ that killed the initial investigation in real time into New Mexico, all things having to do with the main situs, the main place. I know we talk a lot about Epstein Island, we talk about New York, we talk about Palm Beach, a mile or so away from where Trump, uh, lived in Mar-a-Lago, where they would always get together.

New Mexico was perhaps the place where the most despicable— I mean, that's all horrific, you know, en masse was taking place there. And that was blocked by the DOJ back then. Here's— let's talk about what we're learning. Let me show you the letter from Raul Torres, the New Mexico AG. Here's how Reuters is reporting it. New Mexico says U.S. DOJ hindering the probe of former Epstein ranch. New Mexico's top law enforcement official end of this past week accused the DOJ of hindering their investigation into Epstein. Todd Blanch blocking it. So this, uh, Democratic-run state— I don't think that really matters. I think this is a bipartisan issue— reopened though an investigation into Epstein's former ranch south of the state capital, Santa Fe, where he's accused of sexually assaulting women and girls for nearly 3 decades. Nearly 5 months into the investigation, New Mexico Attorney General Raul Torres has yet to announce any results at all. And he was asked, what's going on? He goes, the DOJ isn't giving me the documents. In a June 30 letter that we're now seeing to Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanch Torres, said the Justice Department failed to respond to a state request in February for unredacted files containing names of Epstein survivors, witnesses, co-conspirators, and other individuals essential to the New Mexico probe.

In a statement at the end of this past week, Torres said the delay, which has now lasted 130 days was unreasonable under any rule of reason. To which the DOJ responds, we welcome New Mexico undertaking additional investigation of the Zorro Ranch, and we stand ready to provide necessary assistance with New Mexico's investigation. Well, talk is cheap. In the letter that was sent by New Mexico's AG to Acting Attorney General Blanche, they talk about the efforts to obtain materials. Through cooperative means. February 13, 2026, we sent you written correspondence. March 13, 2026, a formal letter. April 1st, 2026, a telephone conference was attempted. May 3rd, 2026, a comprehensive TUI letter was submitted. On May 29th, 2026, written follow-up to Acting Attorney General Blanche. On June 4th and 5th, 2026, meeting requests were made. On and on and on. Despite verbal assurances of cooperation from the DOJ, access to the requested records has not been granted. We want reasonable and necessary information to secure justice for those who have suffered sexual abuse inflicted by Epstein. We remain hopeful that the DOJ will grant this request and demonstrate a commitment to justice for these survivors. I don't remain confident in that, but that's how it ended.

And then it signed Attorney General of New Mexico. I want to bring in Harry Litman. Harry, Talking Feds YouTube channel, former federal prosecutor, former top federal prosecutor, Western District of Pennsylvania, Maine Justice. Breaks my heart, Harry. I mean, you and I have reported the efforts of the Trump regime fighting against Katie Fang, the Midas Touch host, who has courageously been seeking the records as well, and the obstruction there. The obstruction they've done with all of the FOIA requests, they're completely undermining of the Epstein Transparency Act. Here you have an AG of a state like New Mexico where Epstein engaged in the most heinous of sexual abuse, and the AG's like, we've been working all of these days and you keep on obstructing. But then they, but then they string them along, Harry. Oh, don't worry, we'll get back to you.

We'll get—

oh, don't worry, we'll do this. All right, we'll come up with a framework. And it's all one big fraud, but that's the Trump regime. What do you make of it, Harry?

It's all one big fraud, but that's the Trump regime, as a smart man said, Ben. Look, this is, this become the Department of Obstruction. It's a total commonplace for states and the feds to work together. 90% plus of prosecutions occur at the state side. There are occasional maybe turf battles, where both sides want to go after someone and the feds maybe try to push their weight around. This is extraordinary and what doesn't happen until Trump. It's reminiscent to me of what's going on in Minnesota. And now it looks like with this atrocious killing this week in Texas, this is the DOJ not simply saying, we want to do our own thing. But literally shutting down the efforts to secure justice. Now we see this in Minnesota, we see it in Texas, and there's some kind of argument anyway, it doesn't fly, but you can see, well, they're protecting their own, it's federal agents. There is no conceivable federal interest to trying to keep the New Mexico Attorney General from securing justice for the Epstein victims in New Mexico. And as you say, it's an underreported part of the story, but some of the most lurid, revolting, damaging conduct took place right there.

So this is the DOJ not simply not— have at it, please, we're not going to go forward for now or whatever, so it's all for you. They did, in fact, in 2019 when they were actually prosecuting things, that's Maureen Comey said, let us go ahead for now, and New Mexico You know, stood its ground and said, okay, you have it for now. But at this point, they're not going forward, but they're literally trying to prevent states from going forward. So it's not simply, as we hear again and again when Epstein arises, how they're ignoring the victims, not doing justice by them. They are literally trying to keep justice from being done by a parallel sovereign and circling the wagons. So now you have New Mexico, they have charges to bring. And what the DOJ is doing, it's in a sense even worse than what I've said, because there's no way to justify not helping a sovereign that supposedly has the same goal as you, bringing miscreants to justice and You have no federal interest in not seeing it done. But they're lying and being squirrely and bobbing and weaving. The letter that you just read from Ben very properly has this whole 6+ efforts of real earnest attempts to put things together, have conference calls, and the department forgets this one, doesn't schedule that one, all the while giving This is what really is a sort of extra layer of revolting behavior.

They talk a good game and there's nothing else you can say. Oh yes, we want to help you. Of course we want to help you. And then when push comes to shove, it's time. Okay, could we maybe see some evidence that you're holding, you're not going forward with, but we can actually convict? Uh, well, we'll be right back to you. Uh, I missed that call. Uh, wrong number. It's an actual whole chain of misdirection and bobbing and weaving and squirreliness because there's no possible justification for it. I don't know how long they think they can get away with it, but it's literally at this point well documented. They do not want Jeffrey Epstein's crimes to be prosecuted, but they do not want to look like they don't want them prosecuted and what that has resulted in. No position in court, no forget it, as they're trying to do in Minnesota. But, but a simply, you know, variety of the dog ate it in, in a whole series of things that just cannot be. You get this is the attorney general, as you point out, in New Mexico. I happen to have worked with the former attorney general in New Mexico.

Attorney general calls. You don't lose the message. So somebody at a high level is directing the person who is talking a good game to New Mexico to essentially string them along. It's completely abusive and disrespectful of a fellow sovereign and completely abusive and disrespectful of all the victims of the Epstein crimes who have gotten zero by way of justice from this Department of Obstruct— I mean, Department of Justice.

This is the Trump playbook in everything, and it becomes certainly more pronounced when we're dealing with the re-abusing of abuse and survivors of Epstein, right? And Trump's playbook is run out the clock. I remember, uh, when Donald Trump, uh, was running the very first time and people were questioning Melania's immigration status and it became a big issue. It's just an example here. Donald Trump said, I'm gonna do a press conference in 2 weeks. I'll address it in a press conference. 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks, 2 weeks. Then you do a bunch of other— Trump does a bunch of other outlandish, unlawful, crooked, disgusting things. The story kind of moves on, you know, whether we're talking about wars or the wars, plural, whether we're talking about, uh, you know, corruption and deals here. I mean, you know, every day there's a new scandal that would make Watergate, to quote J.D. Vance, look like nothing in a 12-hour news cycle. And so the The hope is you just drag it on forever and that's the play. And, you know, he'll— they're going to do that. And the ultimate question, I'll let you end, Harry, is just what do we do about it?

I mean, what do we do as the Midas Touch Network? You see what Katie Fang's doing about it. That's action. What do we do about it? What does the attorney general of New Mexico do about it? What do people— what do voters do? But what do you say about a regime that is so willing and almost seems to enjoy covering up child sex trafficking rings. Harry, I'll give you the final word.

Well, you call them out, as the Midas Network does daily, of course. But the Attorney General is doing the right thing. Essentially, this is a real, like, if guys, you know, let's try to talk, we're trying to cooperate, etc. This letter, which you and I are now talking about, really hits the media. And what we have is it plays into this ongoing narrative, which is not dying, of the just abject absence of justice that the DOJ has provided for especially the victims who remain very well organized, very much sort of on the hustings. And as you know, Todd Blanchard's confirmation is in just a few days. That means that the Epstein matter will re-arise. And when you have, you have a sense of this, Ben, you know, I do too. It's one thing when someone is just making these radical dogmatic positions, you gotta see them in court. Here you have a kind of vulnerability. They are trying to pretend that they're being cooperative. So really holding up the mirror to that. So what are they gonna do now? Are they gonna, oh, we're getting to it. Oh, just around the corner. See you next Tuesday.

You know, I do not— they're now been kind of fleshed out. So I think exactly this, bringing the spotlight to bear and combining it with the overall— excuse me— scandal of the Epstein files. That's the way to do it. That's what they're doing. That's what you're doing.
