We have major developments this afternoon. The Epstein files have been released. 3 million files have been released. I've spent the past several hours reviewing thousands and thousands of documents. There are a lot that you need to know about implicating, or rather talking about everyone from the President of the United States, Donald Trump, to Steve Banon, to Elon Musk, someone who could potentially be Melania Trump, and others. You need to know about it right now. I'm going to go through some of the important of the documents that I found thus far. This review is going to take a long time, folks. I'm going document by document. There are millions of documents. It's not going to end today. It's going to take me several days, and I'll have updates for you periodically throughout the night and into the weekend. Please make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe.

Let's just jump right into it. And before I go through each file, I do want to say this is a trigger warning. There are some parts of these files that are very horrific to read, and I want to warn you before showing you them. Today, the Justice Department announced it will be releasing 3 million files. Now, Todd Blanch also said he had 6 million files in his possession. So the DOJ is only releasing half of the files it has in his possession. Now, the DOJ also says that it's done. It's done releasing the files without without any explanation as to why it's only releasing half, not whole. At the same time, I've been reviewing these files, and I do want to say that the Justice Department is violating the law right now. Why? Because many survivor's names have been released in these documents, not the ones I'm going to show you, but in several documents, including the names of several Jane Doe survivors that I've spoken to. I know their names because I've spoken to them privately. Their names should be redacted publicly, but they're not. I want to begin I'll put by one showing you probably the most important document thus far that I've seen.
This is a web created by federal authorities. In the center, you have Jeffrey Epstein, and around him, you have individuals who are in his sphere of influence. Those associated with Jeffrey Epstein. I want to ask you a question, why are these redacted? These are not, presumably, images of survivors. Why would the Justice Department redact the names and faces of very powerful powerful people. Well, let's look at the ones that are not redacted. You have Epstein in the center. You have Maxwell to the left of him. At the bottom, you have John Luke Burnell, Leslie Groff, who appears multiple times. Above him, Darren Indyke, Harry Beller, and Richard Cohn. Those are the names that we know right now that were in Jeffrey Epstein's sphere of influence. None of them, other than Maxwell and Epstein, ever faced criminal charges. Now, there was a document, in addition, that showed a number of allegations made by young girls against Donald Trump, the President of the United States. This is a section of that document. The document, it's below in my subsect. You can read the full document. It's a list of six pages of tips that were given to the FBI that the FBI presumably should have investigated.
This is one tip which stood out to me and was particularly disturbing because it talks about a young girl who alleged that she was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump 35 years ago in New Jersey while she was 13 to 14 years old. Now, the response says that they spoke with the caller and that the lead was sent to the Washington office to conduct an interview. We don't know if that interview was ever conducted, but there are over a dozen allegations similar to this one against the President of the United States, and I encourage you to read them below. And speaking of allegations against the President of the United States, this is an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Cathy Rumelar, who who previously served as counsel for President Obama. We're going to get to her in just a second. But in this email, Jeffrey Epstein says, and I quote, Supposedly a girl said that Donald had sex with her at my house when she was underage. She said she has a witness in 1993. Two weeks ago said that Pottinger wanted to meet him. I emailed back, Do not meet. You are not involved.
He is asking this attorney, this counsel for President Obama, Essentially, for advice on how to deal with the fact that a young girl is alleging that Donald Trump had sex with her while she was underage at Jeffrey Epstein's home. That is a major new document. Let's continue. This is an email chain between none other than Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein with Leslie Groff. Remember, Leslie Groff was in Jeffrey Epstein's Sphere of Influence, that map that I showed you at the beginning of this. But I want you to look at this document. Elon Musk, in this document, is discussing flying to Jeffrey Epstein's Island. Actually, I could fly back early on the third. We will be in St. Bart's. When should we head to your island on the second? What's unclear is whether or not Elon Musk ever visited Epstein's Island. Elon Musk has repeatedly and publicly said that he never stepped foot on Epstein's Island. This is another email communication between Elon Musk and Jeffrey Epstein, where they talk about, quote, is there a good time to visit? Presumably talking about Epstein's Island back in 2013. Once again, it's unclear whether or not Elon Musk ever stepped foot on Epstein's Island.
Let's continue. Remember Cathy Rumelar, the person that was communicating with Epstein? Well, she adored him, said it's like having an older brother. That is how Cathy Kathy Rumelar, Obama's former counsel, described Jeffrey Epstein. They were very close based on the communications that we see. And this is as recent as 2015. This is after we already knew that Epstein was facing investigation because of the Florida investigation where he was never fully prosecuted. In addition, we have emails like this one from someone named Melania, could be the first lady of the United States, although it's unclear whether it's that Melania or a different Melania. Where she is writing to presumably Galaine Maxwell because she writes, Dear G, how are you? Nice story about J. E. Jeffrey Epstein in New York Mag. You look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down Give me a call when you're back in New York. Have a great time. Okay? So you have this email as well. In addition, you have this email from 2012, alert, what does Jeffrey Epstein think of going to Mar-a-Lago after Christmas instead of his island?
So they are now discussing in 2012, at most recently, despite the fact that the President of the United States has repeatedly claimed that he has kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago, that he had no association with Epstein, here is 2012, they're discussing not the President, but presumably someone in Epstein's orbit is discussing, essentially, what does Jeffrey Epstein think about going to Mar-a-Lago instead of going back to his island on New Year's Eve? And the final The final document I want to show you lists Howard Lutnik. Howard Lutnik is the current United States Commerce Secretary under President Trump. Howard Lutnik says, To Jeffrey Epstein, I would like to invite you to attend a very intimate fundraising event with Hillary Clinton from 5: 30 to 6: 00 PM at the Cantor-Fitzgerald office. So Howard Lutnik, presumably, was trying to invite Epstein, who was a neighbor of his on the Upper East Side, to a fundraiser. Those are the documents I've reviewed right now. There are a lot more that I'm going through with each passing minute. I will have more information for you soon. Remember, as a journalist, I'm not taking a position in terms of criminal activity one way or the other.
I need. These are all allegations, and until proven otherwise in a court of law, I'm not going to convict someone right away. But these allegations are horrific. And all of my reporting will be survivor-focused, focused on getting the truth for these survivors, because right now, they're not getting it. This file's release has been incompetent, to say the least. Spread the word, like, comment, share, and subscribe. More updates for you soon. Hey, folks. Thanks so much for watching.
