  • Political pressure appears to be suppressing internal investigations and testimony related to high-profile figures mentioned in Epstein files
  • Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis resigned over DOJ orders to halt civil rights investigations, suggesting institutional conflicts between career prosecutors and political appointees
  • Deliberative process privileges designed for active prosecutions are being weaponized to withhold information after cases conclude or documents are already released

In the past 24 to 48 hours, the Trump DOJ has deleted critical documents that were previously made public by the Trump Department of Justice in the partial release of Epstein file documents. Specifically, they have removed the 86-page prosecution memo, which listed the possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case, and the victim's allegations against those possible co-conspirators. Julie K. Brown, the incredible reporter from the Miami Herald, was one of the first to write about the Trump regime deleting this from the database. We have a copy of it still here at the Midas Touch Network, which we also posted on MidasPlus.com so that it can't be deleted. So check it out there. I'll talk about that in a moment. In the past 24 to 48 hours, the Trump regime has also ordered the local Kentucky GOP parties to rip away the microphone from Kentucky Republican Congress member Thomas Massey when he was speaking at a local GOP club in Old Ham in Kentucky. The local leaders grabbed the microphone away from Massey so he cannot speak the truth. We're also learning in the past 24 to 48 hours as well more information about how the FBI sought to redact images of the former US president, former US president, Secretary of States, and other celebrities from the files. And we're learning more details about the extensive cover efforts by the Trump regime in other areas. I mean, outside of the Epstein files, we've learned in the New York Times reported that FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood spatter and bullet holes in Renee Good. She was murdered by Trump's ICE Gestapo in Renee Good's SUV. And they received orders to stop from cash Patel and at the highest level of the Trump regime, because they did not want there to be an investigation that would contradict Donald Trump's claim that Renee Nicole Good, quote, violently willfully and maliciously ran over the ICE officer because the blood splatter results would contradict that. Frankly, the video contradicts it, but they interfered and manipulated with an ongoing investigation. And that was one of the main reasons why all of those federal prosecutors in Minneapolis abruptly quit. Like the whole office in Minneapolis, Federal Prosecutor's Office is gone. Let's just go through this one by one. First, I want to show you Republican Thomas Massey. He was behind the discharge petition with Democrat Ro Khanna. And you'll see when he was giving a speech on February 6th in Old Ham County, you'll see, and he was speaking in front of the local GOP chapter right there, one of the leaders of that local GOP chapter, they rip away the microphone from Massey because Massey wants to talk about the Epstein files and Donald Trump's connection to it and a cover up of a child sex trafficking ring and how Donald Trump has betrayed his base. This is what MAGA transparency looks like where they rip away the microphone from Thomas Massey for speaking the truth. Here play this clip. Now, that was right around the time that Massey was posting things like this. From March 2025, he's post this letter from the Epstein files. Again, only a partial release of the Epstein files has been made public. There are still 3 million documents which could be as many as 25 to 50 million pages that have not been produced. But here's what Massey posts. This is from March 2025, who was protected under this transparency task. Presidents, Secretary of State, celebrities, nothing would have been released if Ro Khanna, Congress member Ro Khanna and I had enforced this. But even now, and against the law, they are withholding information to protect perpetrators. We also are learning that Gey Lane Maxwell, who spoke with Donald Trump's number two at the DOJ, Todd Blanche, who used to be Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney. That's what Blanche's role was. Well, Gey Lane Maxwell, she's supposed to have her deposition taken by the House Oversight Committee on Monday. Even though she spoke with Todd Blanche, she's now going to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights because she doesn't want to talk about what she knows about Donald and other people and she's going to refuse to answer all of the questions from the House Oversight Committee, despite the fact that her deposition was moved back from August till now. Because she said she had to wait until the Supreme Court ruling on her case so that she'd be able to testify because she said she would have to invoke her Fifth Amendment rights while the Supreme Court had not ruled. Well, the Supreme Court ruled against her. They didn't overturn the conviction that she's a child sex trafficker. She said she was going to testify and now she's going to invoke the Fifth. Do you see cover up after cover up after cover up here? That's why I want to go through with you in this methodical detail. But here's a March 2025 email from FBI agents, Cash Patel's department, where the FBI discusses internally the clear and specific guidance to redact images of former U.S. presidents, secretary of state, and other celebrities who may be in the files. Now, let's talk about, though, that DOJ 86-page prosecution memo. The prosecution memo is dated December 19th, 2019. Notably, when I reviewed all three million documents in the Epstein files, one of the that have been produced so far, the partial release of documents, that is, one of the things I noticed is, where's all the internal communications and internal memos and deliberative process information, intra-office, inter-office communications, where are the FBI, victim interviews, survivor interviews, they just weren't there. But this one was produced, which I found interesting. But then, all of a sudden, it was deleted from the public database. Fortunately, we downloaded it here at the Midas Touch Network, so we have a copy of it that you can look at by going to MidasPlus.com. We've posted it on our substack, MidasPlus.com. But as Julie K. Brown writes, DOJ's 86-page prosecution memo listing possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case and the victim's allegations against those possible co-conspirators disappeared from their website after the Miami Herald questioned them about the list. So take a look over here. You'll notice on top of this memo, this is the 86-page prosecution memo. It says, privileged, attorney work product, deliberative process, confidential, subject to federal rule of criminal procedure, 6E. And you'll see it says, to Jeffrey Berman, he was the main United States attorney, the lead federal prosecutor for the Southern District of New York during this time period. It's from all of his AUSAs. For whatever reason, their names are redacted. I'm not sure why it's redacted. One of them should be Maureen Comey, who the Trump regime fired. She was the one who prosecuted Epstein and Gillain. It's dated December 19, 2019. And it says, investigation into potential co-conspirators of Jeffrey Epstein. And the memo says, this memorandum details the investigative steps taken since the indictment of Jeffrey Epstein in his district on July 2, 2019. And analyzes the extent to which certain of Epstein's associates and employees may or may not be criminally liable for their conduct during their employment with Epstein. You'll note that that is dated after Epstein died. Right, Epstein died in early, early-ish August. But when I was going through this document, one of the things I noticed is that like, go to page 69, 72, 79, I can keep going through these, where it's supposed to mention the co-conspirators, all of that is redacted. Like, all of those names are redacted. There are certain portions that reference, you know, maybe other people, but most of this document is still redacted, but it was made public. None of that should be redacted, and this document should still be made public. We should know who all the co-conspirators are. Right, like this, when people talk about lists, this 86-page prosecution memo would be a list of co-conspirators and the analysis by the DOJ at that time in 2019 about whether these people on the list should be prosecuted. Now, look, in 2019, it would make sense for there to be what's called a deliberative process privilege, because if you charged these individuals, the deliberative process privilege is like your work product, your memos, your inter-office communications. That stuff is not made public during criminal cases in general. You have to produce all the evidence that you have against the criminal defendant. They're presumed innocent until they're found guilty, but you wouldn't turn over all of your inter-office emails. It would be giving away, you know, today's the Super Bowl, for example, it would be giving away your playbook, right to the other side. Instead of, you know, you have to show what's happening in the game, but you don't give away the playbook. But for purposes of the Epstein Transparency Act, the whole thing is reveal your playbook. The deliberative process, right, the inter-office emails and memos, that's precisely the type of stuff that we want to see in the Epstein Transparency Act. Transparency, because we want to know who are on the list, who are you considering charging, why didn't you charge them? That's precisely what we want. And even when this 86-page prosecution memo was made public, these key names were redacted. You see all these pages redacted, but now they just deleted it and think that we're stupid. So we saved it. And what I suppose should happen now is that, if you look at the Bates number over here, you see this, EFTA, let's take a look at the Bates number, bottom right, EFTA 273-1082. By the way, you see there's another Bates number there, because all this stuff was made available, was ready to be produced years ago if they wanted to do. There was no reason for any delay here, but we should just ask in a public records request, and people are doing this, produce EFTA 02730182, that whole series of Bates numbers and all of these other internal memos and remove the redactions, because that violates the Epstein Transparency Act. Aaron Parnas, who's got his own great YouTube site, and he works with the Midas Touch Network as well, Aaron also learned the following from his sources. Epstein survivors tell me that they were told in meetings with Republican lawmakers that everyone was supportive of asking Pam Bondi hard questions about the Epstein files when she appears for her testimony this week. She's testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, but afterwards they were told by a source in the Republican establishment that those questions won't be asked. Republican members have been told to avoid any questions about the Epstein files, and to only focus on the quote positives that Bondi accomplished during her testimony. So again, it's cover up after cover up, after cover up. Finally, FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes in Renee Good's SUV, but they received orders to stop from cash patelle, and at the highest levels of the Trump regime, the New York Times reports, the fear a civil rights investigation would contradict Donald Trump's claim that Good violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer who fired at her as she drove away her vehicle. So you have Joseph Thompson right here, one of the top federal prosecutors in Minneapolis. He did the right thing in the sense that he wrote in an email to colleagues at the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, a state agency that specializes in investigating police shootings, would team up with the FBI to determine whether the shooting had been justified and lawful, or had violated Renee Nicole Good's civil rights. That's the appropriate protocol, even though it should be obvious to us on the video that her civil rights were violated. You go through the investigation, you do blood splatter reports, you do a search warrant to determine if excessive force was used. That's the normal protocol. But later in the week, FBI agents equipped with a signed warrant prepared to document blood splatter and bullet holes and Ms. Good's SUV received orders to stop. And instead, what the Trump DOJ said, what you need to focus on is the opposite, an assault on the officer and whether Renee Nicole Good's wife was responsible for the murder of Renee Nicole Good. And that's when all those prosecutors in Minneapolis resigned right here. Just share this with you as well, other Epstein emails. Like this is why this is so deeply serious. Saturday, October 19, 2013, from somebody who's redacted, why is this name redacted right here, to Jeffrey Epstein. Is she too old for you, LOL? Well, I will hunt my other Czech friends. And Epstein says, too old. Who's that person and why are they redacted? Who is being protected right here? How about this? In a 2018 email, Epstein casually acknowledges himself as a sex trafficker with no denials. He says he met someone who was working on a movie about a sex trafficker who had a private island with sex slaves. And he informed her that that's him. And she's doing a movie about him. And she didn't realize that she was talking to the guy she's making a movie about. And quote, she almost fainted. Or how about this? Aaron Parnas reports, who sent Jeffrey Epstein an image of what appears to be a 10 year old child? And why is this redacted? Age 10. How sick and disgusting can you get? I mean, by the way, can I share this with you as well? So back in 2017, there were these pranksters who tried to set up Prime Minister Carney, who at the time was the lead banker for the Bank of England. He was the lead governor of the Bank of England. And let me just... And so the pranksters wrote this to Prime Minister Carney. They said something like this, actually, I'm glad to hear from you. Someone was posing as Anthony Hobgud. I don't think it was actually Hobgud, who's a business person in the UK. I'm glad I heard from you. I'm having summer nights theme soiree on Saturday, June 17th. As much martini as you can take, are you free? And then Mark Carney says, sounds ideal. We'll check at home and at work. And then this person posing as Anthony Hobgud in 2017 says, excellent. I've hired some rather dashing bar ladies. Is that PC? If you ask for crystal glasses, you'll be able to admire their enchanting dexterity. I keep those glasses low down. Ha! You don't reach my age without knowing all of those tricks. And then Prime Minister Carney responds, sorry, Anthony, not appropriate at all. To which Hobgud responds, well, report me to Brussels then. You did know I was joking, didn't you? It's an old story, my friend rather fun. Even though that was a prankster trying to set up Carney, do you see how Carney kept it professional the entire time? It said, that's not appropriate. That's the right response. Not appropriate. I'm not engaging in these types of communications or conversations. I just think that's interesting because when people try to set him up, that's how Carney behaved. Just shut it down. Hit subscribe.
