Have some major developments this evening specifically as it relates to Jeffrey Epstein Donald Trump and the Epstein files.
We have a newly unredacted email that contradicts many of Donald Trump's public claims about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein completely undercutting Donald Trump's claim that he had kicked Epstein out of his club.
At the same time, one senator is accusing the Justice Department of blocking access to key Epstein documents related to a DEA investigation into possible drug trafficking that Epstein was involved in.
All while a bombshell new report from a good friend of mine, Scott Steadman, a reporter, which is really good work.
I'm going to show you his work shortly shows deeper connections between Jeffrey Epstein and a powerful Russian family tied to the Kremlin.
All while we have more news on Iran ice and I speak with the new Democratic nominee for Senate Julianne Stratton at the end of this video, who confirms that when she gets to the United States Senate, she will do everything in her power to make sure that the survivors of Epstein and Max will get justice and accountability.

And please subscribe to my sub stack, click the link below to support my work. We're not stopping talking about Jeffrey Epstein and let me tell you a lot of people don't want me to report on this, but I'm not going to stop.
I want to first begin by showing you this new document. This document was once redacted under the below was redacted was all blacked out.
It's an email chain. A top is an email from Jeffrey Epstein to Glein Maxwell dated October 14th, 2009.
The bottom is an email from Jack Goldberg to Jeffrey Epstein and Robert Kritten, Jr.
That email contains a summary from Donald Trump's attorney.
There was a lawsuit naming where Donald Trump was asked to be deposed. The lawsuit was against Epstein in lieu of sitting down for a deposition under oath.
Donald Trump's attorney agreed to answer some questions and speak to Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers essentially here is a what they said in lieu of the deposition.
Jeffrey Epstein was never expelled from Mar-a-Lago. He was not a member. He may have been a guest. He was never asked to leave.
That is a direct contradiction to a Donald Trump has said in the White House has said on multiple occasions that Donald Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club.
That's not true based on what Trump's attorney Alan Garden said.
Second, Mark Epstein said Trump was on Jeffrey Epstein's plane is that true Trump in this correspondence seemingly admits that it may have been true.
He may have been on his plane. We know it to be true because there are files within the US attorney's office that show it to be true.
Was Donald Trump ever had Jeffrey Epstein's house Trump admits that he may have been there with his wife.
And at the bottom, Trump specifically asked Garden to advise us of the interview.
Brad had also previously talked to the manager of Mar-a-Lago who confirmed that Jeffrey Epstein was never asked to leave Mar-a-Lago.
Jeffrey Epstein was never asked to leave Mar-a-Lago. So that's bombshell number one.
Number two update. Senator Ron Leiden says that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Trump's former personal lawyer, has intervened to block the DEA from providing details of a mysterious Epstein investigation to the Senate Finance Committee.
This investigation relates to a DEA drug enforcement agency investigation into possible drug trafficking related to Epstein's schemes.
Why is a Blanche blocking this? Not fully clear.
And here's a third one. Here's a third one. This is from a new investigation that was conducted by a friend of mine, his name is Scott Stedman.
And he is showing right now the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with a powerful, powerful Russian family.
Here's what Scott says. On March 30, 2015, Jeffrey Epstein wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to a Moscow couple deeply tied to the Kremlin.
The husband was a former Soviet military and FSB translator whose boss was FSB special forces and installed by Vladimir Putin's childhood best friend.
The wife had a stint working for the Russian presidential administration. The daughter was a key figure in Epstein's inner circle for a decade.
Here are some highlights. One source familiar with the trip so that Epstein met with these with two of the family members in Florida was not uncommon for Epstein to meet with family members of victims and those who worked for him.
They sent an email talking about, quote, to the great man, dear Jeffrey, thank you for making our visit to the US not only possible, but also so wonderful and unforgettable forward the email to Epstein tell them I still owe you you have done a such a great job.
Earlier that year, Epstein had wired nearly a quarter million dollars to a Moscow bank account tied directly to the family.
So lots of questions about Jeffrey Epstein's ties to the Russians. We're getting some more answers and it comes. Remember that first email I showed you this one right here.
The now only unredacted email. How do we get it? Well, we got it because Congressman Dan Goldman went on the House floor and exposed it here is him talking.
I want to focus on one victims allegations that the FBI unquestionably found to be credible.
The DOJ tried to hide reports of three of the four interviews that this victim gave to the FBI, but pressure from the media and Congress forced them to disclose them.
And now we know why she credibly accuses Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was between 13 and 15.
In each of her interviews, this victim recited the same account of her interaction with Donald Trump on August 7, 2019.
She explained that she was between 13 and 15 when she was left alone with Donald Trump, who quote mentioned something to the effect of, let me teach you how little girls are supposed to be.
Trump unzipped his pants and put her head down.
You can read the rest of it yourself. I mean, it's horrific, horrific allegations that he's reading out on the House floor.
Today, there is a briefing for members of Congress with Attorney General Bondi. Congress of Anyassumin, I'm sorry, doesn't have high hopes right now.
Back from today's classified briefing with Attorney General Bondi and Deputy Attorney General, about the obscene file.
So we just found out about this yesterday. And it came about seemingly out of nowhere. I imagine that the Attorney General is rightfully worried that she's been subcuted by suicide.
And he says you have to appear here for us.
She's worried. Hambondi is worried. Now, in other news, there is more news. Donald Trump is reportedly frustrated over a recent Israeli strike on Iranian natural gas, because that has sent Brent crude oil prices surging today.
Iran has responded by striking Katari natural gas, LNG and Bahrain natural gas facilities or oil facilities.
In addition, we had hearings with Mark Wayne Mullin, Trump's nominee to be the DHS secretary, along with Tulsi Gabbard and John Ratcliffe, the DNI and the CIA director today, where they spoke about threats to the homeland.
So lots of stuff right now. I spoke with Juliana Stratton, the current Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, who last night really shocked the world and won in a Senate primary.
Make sure to like, comment, share, and subscribe. Take a listen to what soon to be Senator Stratton had to say.
I'm so excited today to be joined by Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton, who just had a huge victory last night. Lieutenant Governor, how does it feel to be the Democratic nominee for Senate in Illinois? How was last night?
Well, it's so exciting and last night was great. We had a room packed of so many supporters, a diverse room that was so excited to celebrate with us last night.
People who have been on the phones, out canvassing, supporting in any way they could because they believed in our message.
So incredibly proud of my team and the fact that we knew we had a winning message. We knew that if we could get that message out.
And we knew that if that message was not based on just talking points or trying to tell people what they should care about, but rather listening to voters every single day and every corner of our state, and then using that to build our platform that we would be successful.
And we just stayed focused, no matter what, and we did the job, and I'm just so, so very proud of what we accomplished last night.
What does your win mean, I guess, for the broader Democratic Party right now? Because I think a lot of people forget you are up against all odds, right? You had an opponent who was spending millions and millions of dollars, pack money flowing into the state, like I think we've never seen before.
So what does this mean for the future of the party nationally, but also in Illinois?
Well, it was a tough race, and we did have a lot of outside, I think in the last couple of weeks of the race.
I was the number one target in the country from Magalind, crypto, super PACs that were coming against me and in support of my opponent.
And what I can say is that it's another example that money is not always everything, that you have to have a winning message, you have to bring the authenticity, and you have to demonstrate that you're going to be different than the status quo that we see in Washington.
It's a broken system that often gets rewarded, and I stood up, I'm someone that has been endorsed by in Citizens United because of my stance on campaign finance reform, that we need to get corporate pack money out of politics, we need to end ban congressional stock trading, and we need to end Citizens United.
And really get back to the place of really focusing on how do we make sure that it's a message, and people doing the work that gets people elected to office.
I don't think that anybody that I've talked to is thrilled with what's happening in Washington.
In fact, I hear more frustration than anything else, and I think they just saw that this is a time that we need bold new ideas, courageous leadership, and stop thinking that with the president, who's not a normal president, that we can keep going on with business as usual.
Now, a lot of people are going to overlook the general, but should they? I mean, is the race over? Are you Senator Alec Stratton today?
I am not going to take anything for granted, I was out today meeting voters, I'm going to keep meeting voters every single day, getting out to every corner of our state.
Remember, this was a democratic primary, but I have represented the entire state of Illinois for the last seven years, and I know that there are diverse needs and perspectives from every community, each community is unique, and it's going to be important for me to get out into every corner of the state, talk to voters directly,
and let them know what I'm going to be the fighter they deserve when I get to Washington.
I want to ask you about something that made some headlines over the past 48 hours, which was your statement that you would not support Chuck Schumer as democratic leader.
Have you spoken with Schumer since winning last night? Is that still your plan? You will not support him once you're elected?
Yes, we've had an opportunity to connect as I'm continuing to have phone calls with so many leaders in our party, and my position has not changed.
Now, I also want to ask you about ICE, because I spoke with Governor Pritzker last week, and he came out and said that Christy Nome is gone, but accountability for Christy Nome isn't going to end.
Your Governor Pritzker is LG, you saw ICE, what was happening on the streets firsthand as well. Do you believe that now that Christy Nome is no longer DHS Secretary, that's it, that's the end, we should move on from it.
No, I don't care who it is, whether it's whoever is leading the agency, as I've said, I want to see the agency abolished. I called to abolish ICE because I don't see this agency as being reformed.
And as we, you know, think about what we're doing here in Illinois, where we saw firsthand the ongoing terror of Operation Midway Blitz.
I've talked to voters, even though they sort of officially left the city of Chicago, there's still aggressive actions taking place, and I've talked to people very recently in some communities, our immigrant communities, who have said the fear continues to be at peak levels.
And I, and it's a traumatizing, you know, the trauma really has just continued to linger in so many of our communities.
And so, you know, we, what the governor was referring to is we've established what's called the Illinois Accountability Commission because this president is not always going to be the president.
And so we're collecting data, we're collecting videos and narratives and stories, some heartbreaking stories about the way that ICE has really instilled fear in so many of our communities.
We need to do better, and we need to hold these bad actors accountable, and we will.
And here in Illinois, the governor and I are doing our part with this commission to make sure that we're preserving evidence, to make sure that it's available when it's time to hold them accountable.
And we will.
Now, assuming you get to the Senate next January, what are your top priorities on day one, two, and three?
What are you looking to accomplish when you get there?
Well, I always talk about my campaign platform, which is give the people what they want.
I mean, I don't know if it's day one, two, three, but I can tell you I'm going to walk in with this platform.
We first of all have to raise wages and I want to fight for a $25 federal minimum wage.
And I want to do so because people don't deserve just the bare minimum they should be able to earn a living wage.
And I think that that's really important.
Everyone keeps talking about the cost of groceries, the cost of gas, the cost of housing.
Well, one of the ways that we can help people to afford all of those things and to thrive and take care of their families
is by raising wages and making sure people have a little more money in their pockets.
We need to pay the people.
I think the second thing is health care. That's always going to be something that's a priority for me.
I ran for office ten years ago because of the efforts to strip away health care from seniors like my mom.
It was happening at the state level in Illinois at a time when I was caring for my mother who had Alzheimer's.
And so it's personal to me to think that anyone would strip away health care from our seniors or anyone doesn't have access to a doctor when they need one
because I believe that health care is a right and not a privilege.
So I'm going to fight for Medicare for all because I want to see people have access to the care they need when they need it.
And then I think that there's always going to be a real priority for me to make sure that we look at campaign finance reform
and that's something that as I talked about earlier is just always going to be at the forefront.
People see a broken system in Washington where corporate special interests get the red carpet rolled out to them
and everyday people get left struggling and left behind.
So it's not right. And we need to do something different.
We need to do something that will really instill confidence in the people that we represent that it's their needs and interest that's at the forefront and not corporate special interest.
Now, before I let you go, one final question on the Epstein files, you're coming into the United States Senate.
That is going to be an issue that will still be around because Republicans haven't really done much on it.
Can you commit to ensuring that you will do everything in your power as a senator to get justice and accountability for the thousand plus Epstein survivors?
Yes, I will do everything within my power.
And it's important that we recognize what we're seeing happening.
We're not getting the information that's needed.
And certainly, Bondi should not be covering up.
No attorney general should be covering up for pedophiles and not making sure that survivors get true justice.
And I'm going to fight for that because that's what they deserve.
Julie, Anna Stratton, thank you for taking the time.
