Trump LOSES IT as Epstein Scandal EXPLODES With BOMBSHELL TWIST
Katie Phang
So folks, there is always something going on when it deals with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and I thought that I would take a minute to get everybody caught up to speed because there's just a lot. So let's get into it because I want to make sure that you have the knowledge so you can share it, but also share this video if you can and tell people to subscribe. We're on a push. Okay, so let's start with one of the more recent developments, which is the following. Glaine Maxwell is now claiming that she is going to
invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination if she is now compelled to have to appear in front of House Oversight to provide a deposition. Now, let's talk about this, because if this sounds familiar, it is familiar, right? Glaine Maxwell actually was supposed to testify
back in August of this year.
Where are you right now?
November what? 23rd? So Galee Maxwell was supposed to testify August 11th. And if you'll recall, back then her lawyers said the following, we will only come and testify in front of house oversight
if we get immunity from further criminal proceedings, we get all of the House Oversight Committee's investigators' questions in advance of our interview slash deposition, we will delay this deposition after our appeals are exhausted for Ms. Maxwell, and the deposition has to occur outside of the then prison that Maxwell was being held because back then it was what? It was at Max Security 1 in Florida, right? So House Oversight
smartly said, no dice, but we will revisit this once the United States Supreme Court has decided whether it's going to take your case or not. As we know, about two months ago, House, excuse me, SCOTUS said, we're not taking Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal. So I also asked Congressman Robert Garcia, like, when are we going to see Ghislaine Maxwell? Because that two day total boondoggle event with Todd Blanch, wherein she clearly lied to the deputy attorney general of the United States,
when she clearly was doing an audition to be able to do what we've now heard rumored, which is to ask for either a commutation or pardon of her federal criminal sentence. And when we know that there was zero factual inquiry or cross-examination made by anyone,
including FBI agents or Todd Blanche from the DOJ about Ghislaine Maxwell when they were asking her these questions, now we hear that Maxwell's gonna invoke her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Now, here's where it gets really crazy, right?
James Comer, the chair of House Oversight, a brilliant man that he is, if you didn't hear the sarcasm, it's there. Says the following to media, quote, "'Her lawyers have replied that she's not going to answer any questions. She's only going to plead the fifth.
I mean, I could spend a bunch of taxpayer dollars to send staff and members down there, and if she's going to plead the fifth, I don't know that that's a good investment.'"
Oh, I don't know that that's a good investment. Oh, I'm sorry.
Didn't we just talk about the fact that Todd Blanche went there for two freaking days
with staff, with FBI agents, to Tallahassee, where he plucked her out of the prison, took her to the US Attorney's office in Tallahassee, sat her down. Like I said, they braided each other's hair and had cocktails. And she sat there and she lied. This is not a commentary, people, on whether or not I think Ghislaine Maxwell's going to tell the truth. Her credibility, as I recently posted yesterday on social media, is dog shit. And of course, it doesn't escape anybody's notice that the DOJ fired Maureen Comey, James Comey's daughter, who was the lead prosecutor on Epstein and Maxwell
at the Southern District of New York, and that who knew the facts of these investigations of these cases backwards and forwards, they fired her less than a week before Todd Blanche went to Tallahassee. But didn't it cost taxpayer money
to fly Blanche, his staff, his team, and those FBI agents to Tallahassee to meet with Ghillian Maxwell for two days? Didn't it cost taxpayer money to record it, to transcribe it, then to release it? But we'll send Todd Blanche on taxpayers dimes to go and do that performative bullshit, but we're not going to actually send somebody to go meet with Gillislaine Maxwell. And then here, here's a little inside baseball
when it comes to Fifth Amendment invocation. You cannot just do a blanket Fifth Amendment assertion. If you are asked a question, it has to be inserted or invoked on a question by question basis. So what I mean by that,
you can't just say, I am gonna invoke my Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination and I will not answer any of your questions. You cannot do that. It has to be question and then the answer.

I don't know, like a Maureen Comey, instead of a not skilled practitioner like Todd Blanche, who either intentionally didn't ask questions, any questions, the right questions, proper questions, or he didn't know what the fuck he was doing. But if you actually send somebody in there
who knows what the hell they're doing, like, I don't know, people that have tried criminal cases and tried civil cases, you know what? You could get something out of her. But who am I? Now, I just want to add a quick footnote before we move on to the other updates. Ghislaine Maxwell, as we know, did you know the whistleblower for that new minimum security place that she transferred to in reward for meeting with Todd Blanche and providing all the shit that quote, didn't incriminate Donald Trump. Although we now know with the latest tranche of information
provided by the Epstein estate that Donald Trump's name appears a whole of a hell lot. And that he, according to one email, spent hours at Jeffrey Epstein's home. Anyway, that whistleblower, Noelle Eternage, she was fired from the federal prison camp,
Bryan, out in Texas. She worked there since 2019, and it was only after she whistled blue concerning the preferential treatment that Ghislaine Maxwell is getting that she got fired. She got canned for telling the truth
about what's happening with Ghislaine Maxwell. And remember, Jamie Raskin wrote this fantastic letter dated November 9th to Donald Trump saying, explain why Ghislaine Maxwell gets stuff like customized meals personally delivered to her cell,
private meetings with visitors, with snacks, refreshments, and an assortment of these things for her guests in special areas, computers being provided to a convicted sex offender for unmonitored communications with the outside world.
She has specific communication lines. She can use the warden of the prison as her personal secretary and administrative assistant. She gets to be with puppies that are being trained to be service dogs, and she gets personal exclusive escorts
to work out in the exercise area by herself. I mean, I just want to make sure I understand because one of the top officials at Camp Brian said he's quote, sick of having to be Ghislaine Maxwell's bitch. Kind of need to explore that too, don't you think? What was the quid pro quo that was offered
to Ghislaine Maxwell by Todd Blanche? We'll see. Moving on, next update people. There are financial subpoenas that have been sent from House Oversight. Dated November 18th, they have been sent to JPMorgan,
Deutsche Bank, and the US Virgin Islands Attorney General. Now, the cover letters to JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank are identical, slash very similar, and they basically say that financial institutions may have been used by Epstein to quote, no, excuse me, financial institutions used by Epstein may have quote, missed red flags of his abuses
or even aided him. So they're looking for records that will assist house oversight in determining what was the role of these financial institutions in the sex trafficking rings and perhaps maybe amend or improve
federal laws concerning sex trafficking. The thing about the Virgin Islands one I thought was particularly interesting. So it was sent to the Attorney General for the U.S. Virgin Islands. So Jeffrey Epstein owned two private islands near St. Thomas and part of the USVI, the Virgin Islands, Little St. James and Great St. James. He owned those private islands and we know that he used his private jet to fly people that were a part of the sex trafficking ring to those islands. He also
maintained business entities in the Virgin Islands his entire life, including one called Financial Trust Company, which received hundreds of millions of dollars. He also had ties to high-level officials in the Virgin Islands. There were at least three cases that were dealt with, or brought, or initiated in the Virgin Islands. One dealt with his estate, and two dealt with law enforcement actions
that were bought by the Attorney General against his estate. One settlement reached in December of 2022 required Jeffrey Epstein's estate and 10 Epstein-related entities to pay the Virgin Islands government $105 million in cash,
plus half of the proceeds from the sale of Little St. James, one of those two private islands. A separate lawsuit was filed against JP Morgan Chase that ended up with a settlement of $75 million to the Virgin Islands. So those are financial subpoenas that have been sent
as well as a subpoena to the US Virgin Islands seeking records. Next update. The Department of Justice just filed an expedited motion to unseal grand jury records in Florida. That sounds familiar, it's because they tried to do it
before and it was denied by the federal judge. This expedited motion that was filed on Friday, November 21st, says the following. Basically, that because of the Epstein Files Transparency Act that Donald Trump just signed into law on November 19th of 2025, that that law trumps any secrecy provisions that are provided in the law or any rules of criminal procedure federally that would deal

Get started freewith protecting the confidentiality and secrecy of grand jury records. So they're asking the federal court in Florida unseal the grand jury transcripts that are associated with the grand jury investigations that were done in the Southern District of Florida.
And if you'll recall, there were two grand juries, 2005 and 2007, 2005 and 2007. And those grand jury transcripts were the subject of that original motion to unseal and are now in this expedited motion. And the reason why it's expedited is 30 days from November 19th is the timeframe within which the Department of Justice, the Attorney General, Pamela Jo, has to unleash and release and provide all of these Epstein files that the DOJ currently has. But I'm going to refresh your recollection on something.
Do you remember that the grand jury motions that were done by Pam Bondi. Total red herring, right? Because remember, those 2005, 2007 grand jury investigations, remember how great they were? And again, here comes Katie Fang sarcasm, because they ended up in that sweetheart plea deal that he got. So I'm not thinking... The level or quality of value that you could expect to see in this, I think is just not going gonna exist, can't be. I don't think it's gonna exist.
But I'm gonna quote the judge in New York in his opinion and order regarding the unsealing of the grand jury records there, because this is actually going to set and frame people's expectations if, big if, the grand jury records get unsealed in Florida.
Judge Berman in New York said this, quote, "'The government's 100,000 pages "'of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70-odd pages "'of Epstein grand jury materials. "'Seeking to unseal the grand jury documents,' "'at least in New York, appears to be a diversion
"'from releasing documents in the government's possession. Because why? Only two law enforcement officers testified in New York. Now, I don't expect any huge quality or quantity of information in Florida at all. So we will see what the judge does.
It's an interesting argument to say that this Epstein Transparency Files Act trumps existing grand jury law and procedure. That's my face. That's my dubious face.
Okay.
And last but not least, here we go. As we know, the due date on the Epstein Files Transparency Act is December 19th, 30 days according to that law. But as we know, that law had certain exceptions, right? Trump administration can withhold the records that identify victims or include images of child sexual abuse or otherwise classified. That's fine. That's fine, right? The legislation also
allows records to be withheld if they are going to jeopardize active federal investigations. Now, Bondi cannot withhold information on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity. However, if the disclosure of the records jeopardizes an active federal investigation
or ongoing prosecution, then those records do not have to be provided at this time. We do know that right before the big jumping on the bandwagon by the Republicans and the House that they supported this act or this bill, Donald Trump ordered that Pamela Jo
start investigating, quote, Democrats and only Democrats that had anything to do with the Epstein files. So expect some obstacles, stonewalling, and kind of just barriers created by Pamela Joe in terms of the release. I will remind people too that the House Oversight Committee back on August 5th served its own subpoena on the DOJ. And the thing about that subpoena
is that that House oversight subpoena had no limitations, like the one that's in this law that just got signed by Donald Trump. So if Comer had actually forced compliance from the DOJ, because remember, the DOJ provided jack shit in terms of subpoena compliance with House oversight.
If Comer and the other Republicans on House oversight had been forcing the issue with Pamela Joe, again, that subpoena had no limitations like this one. So they couldn't be like, oh yeah, we're not gonna turn it over because of X, Y, and Z. But no, they didn't.
So instead we got tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny bits of information, 97% of which, according to Congressman Robert Garcia, had already been publicly disclosed. And I will refresh everybody's recollection that a lot of information has already been provided in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial
because she went to a full-blown jury trial. But hey, there's still tranches and tons of information that should be released, that will be released, hopefully in full with transparency because isn't that the name of that law? The Epstein Files Transparency Act?
It's not transparency if you're using games to try to hide it from disclosure. That's the latest, people. I wanted to make sure that you got your week started knowing everything and anything so far that has happened in the last week, maybe even less, in the Epstein files, the Epstein cases, the Epstein investigations. And as I always say, don't forget to include Ghislaine Maxwell, because Ghislaine Maxwell, just as culpable as Jeffrey Epstein, and there
are others that are culpable. Be mad, be outraged, demand accountability. Accountability. Subscribe. If you're not a subscriber, subscribe, please get others to subscribe. We're trying to get to 500,000 by the end of 2025. Let's go rattle some cages, people. Katie Fang here.
