MAJOR Development in EPSTEIN FILES Changes EVERYTHING?!?

Epstein Scandal and University Complicity [0:00]

• Allegations suggest major universities, including NYU and Columbia, may have been complicit with Jeffrey Epstein in a reward and punishment system for his victims.
• This complicity may have involved money laundering, where overpaid tuition was allegedly used to pay off Epstein's victims.
• Survivor Lisa Phillips shared her experience of Epstein offering to pay for her tuition at NYU, which she felt was used to keep her in his orbit.

  "And here's a clip. >> When I started speaking out, I knew of the modeling industry and I knew many survivors of Epstein within the modeling industry world."

Epstein Files and DOJ Accountability [02:40]

• A new federal judge is considering appointing a special master or independent monitor for the Epstein document production process.
• The Department of Justice has reportedly fouled the document production process related to the Epstein files.
• Congress, led by Jamie Raskin, has opened an investigation into allegations that NYU and Columbia may have been complicit in money laundering for Epstein.
• Universities allegedly used the promise of seats and paid tuition for young women as bait, and then overpaid tuition was returned to victims as a money laundering method.
• Lisa Phillips, a survivor featured in a Wall Street Journal report, is expected to be a guest to discuss these allegations.
• The Epstein Transparency Act, signed into law by Donald Trump, mandates the turnover of all Epstein records, but the DOJ has missed its deadline.
• The number of files has been a point of contention, with MIDAS reporting over 5 million files, while the DOJ now claims there are 2 million.
• A bipartisan group of members of Congress has requested intervention and the appointment of a special master due to the DOJ's non-compliance and mishandling of the process.

  "And so, you've got this bipartisan you've got bipartisan uh um members of Congress basically writing to the judge and saying, 'Uh, we would like to intervene. We would like to be a part of this.'"

Following the Money and Institutional Responsibility [09:52]

• Jeffrey Epstein was involved with significant amounts of money, potentially hundreds of millions or billions of dollars, which were spent, saved, and invested.
• This money allegedly fueled and funded his international child sex predator trafficking ring, used for property, travel, and as bait for impressionable girls.
• The investigation is focused on "following the money" to determine where it ended up and the role of financial institutions and accounting firms.
• The argument is that if banks and firms had conducted proper due diligence, they could have shut down the criminal fraud and child predator ring earlier by not allowing a place to park their money.
• Universities like Columbia and NYU are being scrutinized for whether they knew or should have known about Epstein's payments (checks, credit cards, donations) used to secure student admissions.
• This situation is being compared to the "Varsity Blues" scandal, but with higher stakes involving complicity in a child sex trafficking ring.
• The question remains whether these universities turned a blind eye, potentially enabling trafficking, or if they are genuinely unaware of Epstein's activities.

  "And that's the argument against Colombia and NYU. Listen, they're innocent until proven guilty."

Judicial Oversight and Victim Advocacy [12:54]

• Judge Engel Meyer is considering the appointment of a special master or independent monitor for the Epstein files.
• Victims are encouraged to come forward, and individuals like Lisa Phillips are expected to join in requests for Amicus briefs to support the appointment of a special master.
• The request is for an independent entity to take over the process from the Department of Justice, which is seen as untrustworthy and conflicted due to protecting its superiors rather than victims.

  "The victims are going to come forward because Judge Engel Meyer basically in his order asked the victims come forward."
