Trump says he’ll RELEASE Epstein files: ‘A lot of big people went to that island’



Donald Trump sat down for an interview with famous podcaster Lex Fridman, when he made a suggestion that may have been a dangerous one.

That is, Trump hinted to Fridman that he would release the Epstein files and the client list if he wins the White House.

“What’s the one thing you could say as a presidential candidate that’s pretty much guaranteed that you’re dead,” Glenn Beck comments. “I am going to release the Epstein files and the client list.”

Trump explained to Fridman that he was “inclined to do the Epstein thing” and had “no problem with releasing that list.”

“A lot of big people went to that island. But fortunately, I was not one of them,” Trump continued.

“It’s just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public,” Fridman responded, before Trump answered, “It’s very interesting, isn’t it?”

“Remember, Donald Trump is definitely not suicidal,” Glenn says. “But if they could put him in jail, he might become suicidal, and some cameras might go down.”

“It’s happened before,” Stu Burguiere jokes.

The Epstein list is currently with the FBI and overseen by one individual.

“What could possibly go wrong?” Glenn asks. “If it disappears, that would be unfortunate, wouldn’t it.”

Trump vows to release Epstein client list along with other docs long hidden from the public



President Donald Trump has vowed to release damning documents if re-elected, which might complicate life for a lot of powerful people and institutions.

The titular host of the "Lex Fridman Podcast" asked Trump in an episode published Wednesday whether he would seek the release of additional documents pertaining to the associates of the late, convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump said he would have "no problem" doing so.

"There's a moment where you had some hesitation about Epstein — releasing some of the documents on Epstein. Why the hesitation?"

The Republican did not appear to accept the premise, stating, "I don't think I had — I'm not involved. I never went to his island, fortunately. But a lot of people did."

Trump explained why various powerful people allowed Epstein to get close: "He was a good salesman. He was, you know, a hale and hearty type of guy. He had some nice assets that he'd throw around like islands."

"A lot of big people went to that island," continued Trump. "But fortunately, I was not one of them."

Trump initially suggested that the list of clients who went to Epstein's island, Little Saint James, would "probably" be released.

Late last year, Manhattan federal Judge Loretta A. Preska ordered the release of over 150 names of people referenced in Epstein lawsuit documents. The documents subsequently made public the names of some of the pedophile's friends, associates, and alleged victims.

Flight logs for the pedophile's private jet, the so-called "Lolita Express," publicly available since December 2021, also identified a number of individuals who were in Epstein's orbit.

Fridman appeared particularly interested, however, in the names of those affluent individuals who visited the pedophile's island, Little Saint James.

"It's just very strange for a lot of people that the list of clients that went to the island has not been made public," said the podcaster.

"Yeah, it's very interesting, isn't it? Probably will be," said Trump. "I'd certainly take a look at it."

Trump added, "Yeah, I'd be inclined to do the Epstein — I'd have no problem with it."

'I have people come to me and beg me not to do it.'

In the interview, Fridman also pressed Trump on whether he would seek the release of other documents withheld from the American public.

Fridman told Trump that a lot of people "are very interested in footage of UFOs. The Pentagon has released a few videos, and there's been anecdotal reports from fighter pilots."

After priming the pump, Fridman asked, "Will you help push the Pentagon to release more footage, which a lot of people claim is available?"

Trump responded, "I would do that. I'd love to do that. I have to do that."

The Republican indicated that just as there is great interest in the government divulging more information about unidentified anomalous phenomena, he has also faced pressure to release more about President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

"I did release a lot," said Trump. "But I have people come to me and beg me not to do it."

While in office, Trump ordered the release of tens of thousands of documents related to the Kennedy assassination, stating in an Oct. 26, 2017, memo to government agency heads:

The American public expects — and deserves — its Government to provide as much access as possible to the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records (records) so that the people may finally be fully informed about all aspects of this pivotal event. Therefore, I am ordering today that the veil finally be lifted.

Under apparent pressure from the FBI and CIA, Trump temporarily withheld thousands of additional documents pending further review, citing the need "to protect against harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or the conduct of foreign relations that is of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in immediate disclosure."

RFK Jr. suggested to Tucker Carlson last month that Trump admitted it was former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who had "begged him" not to release the Kennedy documents.

Although Trump postponed the release of the documents, he indicated while in office that the remaining documents would be released by October 2021.

When the time came, President Joe Biden intervened to keep the secret files from the American public.

Trump told supporters following his endorsement by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. last month that he would release "all of the remaining documents pertaining to the assassination of John F Kennedy" and that if elected, he would also establish a new commission on presidential assassination attempts.

Trump reiterated to Fridman on his podcast he would follow through and be doing so "very early on."

Jeffrey Epstein met with Obama's White House counsel, Biden's CIA director, Noam Chomsky, and a Rothschild: Report



A scathing report from the Wall Street Journal claims that numerous high-profile muckety mucks met with Jeffrey Epstein after he was convicted sex offender. A CIA director, leftist Noam Chomsky, Obama's White House counsel, and a Rothschild met with Epstein, according to a new report that cites the convicted pedophile's private calendar.

Epstein reportedly had three meetings with William Burns in 2014. At the time, Burns was deputy secretary of state before President Joe Biden appointed him as director of the Central Intelligence Agency in 2021. The WSJ exposé claimed that Burns first met Epstein in Washington, and then later visited the convicted pedophile's townhouse in Manhattan.

CIA spokesperson Tammy Kupperman Thorp said Burns met with Epstein when he was preparing to leave government service.

"The director did not know anything about him, other than that he was introduced as an expert in the financial services sector and offered general advice on transition to the private sector," Thorp said. "They had no relationship."

Epstein also met Obama White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler "dozens of times" after she left the administration but before joining Goldman Sachs as a top attorney, according to the disgraced financier's calendar. Within weeks of leaving the Obama White House, Epstein allegedly planned a lunch at his townhouse in August 2014.

A Goldman Sachs spokesperson said Epstein asked Ruemmler if she would be interested in representing Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

In 2015, Ruemmler was scheduled to visit Epstein's private Caribbean island – Little Saint James. However, Ruemmler stated that she "never accepted an invitation or an opportunity to fly with Jeffrey Epstein anywhere."

Through a spokesperson, Ruemmler said, "I regret ever knowing Jeffrey Epstein."

Epstein allegedly connected Ruemmler with Ariane de Rothschild – a member of the infamous Rothschild family and now chief executive of the Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild Group. Ariane allegedly had more than a dozen meetings with Epstein.

The Rothschild family member reportedly bought nearly $1 million worth of auction items on Epstein's behalf in 2014 and 2015.

"Mrs. de Rothschild was named chairwoman of the bank in January 2015," the Wall Street Journal reported. "That October, she and Epstein negotiated a $25 million contract for Epstein’s Southern Trust Co. to provide 'risk analysis and the application and use of certain algorithms' for the bank, according to a proposal reviewed by the Journal."

Bard College President Leon Botstein "invited Epstein, who brought a group of young female guests, to the campus," according to the report.

The Wall Street Journal claimed that leftist activist Noam Chomsky was "scheduled to fly with Epstein to have dinner at Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse in 2015."

Chomsky told the WSJ, "First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s. Second is that I knew him and we met occasionally."

In 2014, Epstein allegedly met with Joshua Cooper Ramo – then co-chief executive of Henry Kissinger's corporate consulting firm.

The report noted, "None of their names appear in Epstein’s now-public 'black book' of contacts or in the public flight logs of passengers who traveled on his private jet."

In February, there was a report that Epstein had a very close relationship with a former top JPMorgan Chase executive and would email photos of young girls. The banking executive and Epstein referred to women that Epstein procured for Jes Staley as different Disney princesses, according to court documents.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and felony solicitation of prostitution.

Epstein died from an alleged suicide on Aug. 10, 2019, at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City while awaiting his sex trafficking trial.
