European Investigators Say America Is Stonewalling Epstein Requests (9/11/26)

About this episode

Law-enforcement agencies in at least five European countries reportedly said the U.S. Justice Department had failed to respond to formal requests for assistance as they pursued investigations stemming from the expanding Jeffrey Epstein record. Officials in Poland, Norway, Latvia, the United Kingdom and Germany told The Washington Post that they had sought help through mutual legal assistance requests, the established process governments use to obtain evidence, records or testimony located in another country. According to the reporting, those requests remained unanswered even as investigators abroad examined people, financial connections and other parts of Epstein’s international network. The silence became especially striking because the United States possessed the largest collection of Epstein investigative material in the world, yet foreign authorities trying to follow leads generated by those records were reportedly still waiting for cooperation.

The episode added another layer to criticism of the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related transparency and accountability. While millions of pages have been released in the United States, foreign investigators were reportedly trying to turn information in those files into active investigative work and needed American evidence to do it. The unanswered requests raised obvious questions about whether potentially important international leads were being stalled simply because the DOJ was not providing the material or assistance required to move them forward. That contrast was difficult to ignore: European governments were asking the United States for help investigating Epstein’s global connections, while the country that prosecuted Epstein and Maxwell and held much of the underlying evidence was allegedly not even answering them.

What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Over the past few months we've learned that the Trump administration doesn't want to help out when it comes to investigating Epstein over in Europe. And we're not talking about just one country here. We're talking about multiple countries and you would think that the most transparent administration in the history of administrations would be a little bit more transparent, but I guess not. You would think that the Department of Justice would be all over this. Yeah, let us give you this information. Let's coordinate together. Let's make an international task force and let's figure out what went on. But they don't care. And the DOJ just proves time and time again that all they're really interested in doing is making sure that this cover up continues. They don't care about giving you the truth or transparency or holding anyone accountable. And there's a lot of shameless people out there, influencers and otherwise, that have picked up the call. I mean, how many people

prior to Donald Trump calling this a hoax? We're out here telling you that this was real, that everything Epstein did needed to be exposed and brought into the public light while now those same people are calling it a hoax. And wouldn't you know some of those people who ran around running their mouths yapping about how this is all just a gigantic hoax? Well, it turns out a lot of those people were on the government payroll. And not only were they on the government payroll, but they decided to keep that fact from the public and their followers until they were outed. And wouldn't you know it almost to a man and woman? They were all singing the same tune about Jeffrey Epstein. Today we have an article from Raw Story and the headline. Trump's DOJ goes five European nations hunting Jeffrey Epstein's global network. This article was authored by Travis Getty's. A year after the first batch of Jeffrey Epstein investigative files was released, law enforcement agencies and at least five countries say the Justice Department still is not responded to their formal requests

for help. Imagine working at the DOJ and getting a request from like Latvia or Estonia or Poland. And it has to do with Jeffrey Epstein. And you know how many women were being brought in from Eastern Europe and you just ignore it or your boss tells you to ignore it? How quick would you be looking for a new job? Is there no integrity when it comes to these people at the DOJ? Just a bunch of bureaucrats, a bunch of yes men and women that are going to do whatever the government tells them to do? Pretty sad honestly. You mean to tell me there's no whistleblowers? There's nobody that's willing to come out and talk about how this is a cover up pathetic is fuck. And then you have all these former CIA officials and all these former FBI agents that got on the internet and talk about Epstein. Bitch, you were in the agency when all this was going on. What did you do to stop them? You know, guys like John Caracal, the other goofball that has you know the curly long hair. I don't even know his name. They make the rounds talking about Epstein, talking about this, that and the other thing. And the truth is

we can't trust any of these people really. How many of them are in the bag? How many of them are promoting the cover up? How many of them aren't enabling Jeffrey Epstein still? Officials in Poland, Norway, Latvia, the United Kingdom and Germany told the Washington Post that request for mutual legal assistance, the formal process that allows foreign investigators to obtain evidence, information and testimony from the US have gone on answered. Like what would be the reasoning for that? Why wouldn't you want to give these countries the information that you're looking for? Unless of course you're covering something up. And if that's the case, then yeah, I could understand why you don't want anybody else taking a look at the files. Last thing you need is another chef in the kitchen. But if everything was on the up and up and there was a real investigation going on and the administration really cared about getting to the truth and letting the American people

know each and every detail, even if it's painful, they would be doing that. But instead we have the complete opposite. They obfuscate, they attack and they refuse to be transparent. No charges have resulted from the file's release in the United States, but the documents exposed to Epstein's relationships with influential figures worldwide, including President Donald Trump and the revelations of prompted international investigations of the late sex offenders networks. And that's pathetic. Yo, the Latvian justice system has more teeth than the American justice system at this point. Makes sense. Considering how far it's fallen, considering how the institution has neglected to fix its issues, look, it's a tough pill to swallow as an American. But the truth is what the truth is. And the current administration, they have no desire to fix it. None. In fact, they just want to make it worse. The justice department disputed any suggestion, it's stone walling.

The Department of Justice is not refused to assist any jurisdiction investigating potential criminal conduct related to Jeffrey Epstein. A DOJ spokesperson told the telegraph last month, adding that the department remains committed to cooperating with all jurisdictions pursuing potential crimes. Then do it. What are you waiting for? All these different countries, all these different jurisdictions have said that they won't give them the information that's been requested, including New Mexico. So like if they won't even play ball with a state in America, do you really think they're going to give anything up to these European countries where they have no control over what comes next? I highly doubt it. Does that sound like a Trumpian thing to do? Give control to somebody else? The man has to be in control of everything, right? Just like he's in control of this coverup. People don't like to hear it, but it's the truth. This is coming straight from the White House. And the fact that Todd Blanche was the AG pick and became the AG is really good evidence, okay?

Trump needed somebody that can contain this, somebody that can control it, somebody that can act as the buffer, and who better than Todd Babybilly Blanche. However, officials from those European nations say their request to the Trump administration have been met with silence. Poland's National Prosecutors Office said the Justice Department has not responded to an April request. In Norway, state prosecutor Mary Ann Bender said her office remains in communication with DOJ officials, but they have not at this time approve the request. And look, I just don't think they're going to. They're going to try and run out the clock. What they hope is that something else pops up, you know, midterms, whatever, and it's going to take the pressure off. And what they're really hoping for is that they can win at the midterm. And if they win the midterm, then they believe they'll have the allies in place to kill the second discharge petition and make the story go away. That's the goal. That's the plan. That's the plot. And you certainly don't have to be some great investigator or somebody with

foresight to figure that out. Latvia State Police said that they have sent several requests and no responses have yet been received. Britain's formal request followed in formal talks that DOJ had already fell to advance, according to the Times of London, and German federal police say they remain in contact with the FBI without resolution. So we're talking about some of America's traditional allies here. Germany, the UK, you know, people that were usually pretty quick to share information with, right? Close relationship for the most part? Well, until Trump. Now, of course, everything's frayed. And listen, not all of it is Trump's fault, right? You're up certainly has its own issues. But when it comes to this, certainly 100% the DOJ and Donald Trump's fault. And there's no getting around that. There's no debating that. And there's nobody that's going to try and explain it away. They have all the power, all the cards, and they

refuse to use them. The stakes are highest in Norway, where three prominent figures, former diplomat, Terry Rodlarsson, and Montajoule, and former Prime Minister, Thorborne Jaglund, face corruption charges, all connected to their relationship with Epstein, all deny wrongdoing. Oh, they were all in on it. No doubt about that. Financially. And this is the way that it should go. All these people that were engaged with Epstein financially, they should all be held accountable. You need to tell me there was no money laundering or financial malfeasance? Give me a break. Like, come on. Anybody who says that's it is either stupid as hell or they're lying to you. Rodlarsson's attorney, said Norwegian prosecutors, have specifically sought additional records from DOJ and investigative steps involving the International Peace Institute in New York, whereas client previously served as president. Bender called the lack of US response, very unfortunate for that country's investigation. Well, if you want to have the best chance of a

successful prosecution, you have to have the information, right? And if that information is in American hands, then they have to get their hands on it. But if the DOJ doesn't want to give them that information, obviously, it's going to make things a lot more difficult. Now does the DOJ not want to hand that information over because it will lead back to them or back to whoever was running Epstein's operation? Well, that's certainly one scenario, especially if we're talking about financial crimes, a little bit harder to explain your way out of that. The Justice Department's Office of International Affairs, which processes such requests, has faced documented operational problems, for years. A 2021 Inspector General Report found it's plagued by high staff turnover outdated technology and oversized caseloads, and a former DOJ attorney who worked in the office, said such requests are inherently complex, particularly when they involve voluminous records or contested redactions. Oh, cut through the red tape, give me a break.

Put some of these lawyers together, put a package together, and give it to the allies. What's the problem here? Unless you're trying to cover it up? Meanwhile, U.S. lawmakers continue pressing the DOJ for more transparency domestically, saying Epstein-related documents remain missing or unnecessarily redacted, even after Congress voted overwhelmingly last November to compel their release. Well, it doesn't matter what Congress says or does, because the DOJ obviously is going to do whatever they want to do. And unfortunately, when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, they're not going to do anything. All the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box.
