We have another major Jeffrey Epstein update to share this afternoon, one that underscores both the progress that’s being made and the obstacles that continue to block the truth from fully coming to light. Today, I’m bringing you an interview with Jess Michaels, one of the many courageous survivors of Epstein’s horrific crimes. Some of you will remember that I spoke with Jess previously about her personal story and her long, difficult fight for justice. This time, I wanted to sit down with her again for several reasons, because her perspective could not be more relevant at this moment.
The powerful want this buried. They want you distracted. But I won’t stop. I am committed to cutting through the smoke and mirrors and making sure the American people see what really happened. If you want the truth revealed, stand with us. Subscribe today, and help me keep pushing forward.
First, I wanted to hear Jess’s immediate reaction to the latest developments surrounding Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell—particularly the newly released transcript of Maxwell’s interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. This document raises fresh questions about how deeply federal officials were aware of Epstein’s operations, and how committed they really were to stopping him. The survivors deserve answers, not carefully worded evasions.
Second, I wanted Jess’s take on the Department of Justice’s recent disclosure of more than 33,000 documents to the House Oversight Committee. On its face, that number seems enormous, even historic. But according to lawmakers who reviewed the material, it’s deeply misleading: only about 3 percent of those files contained anything new. The remaining 97 percent were recycled records that had already been made public through earlier disclosures from the Justice Department, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, or the Palm Beach County State Attorney’s office. In other words, the DOJ technically complied with Congress’s demand for documents by its August 19 deadline—but in practice, they offered lawmakers and the public almost nothing of substance.
Third, I wanted to hear about Jess’s communications with other survivors. How are they feeling in this moment? What are their private conversations like as they watch the government slow-walk transparency, even as powerful people continue to insist this case is “over”? Many survivors carry deep frustration that, more than four years after Epstein’s death, far too many details remain hidden, and too many people with influence are working to sweep this under the rug. These voices matter—their anger, their exhaustion, their determination. And I believe it is vital to keep amplifying them.
And finally, most importantly, I wanted to bring this story back to the center of public conversation. The truth about Jeffrey Epstein cannot be forgotten or buried beneath bureaucracy and delay. I have promised again and again that I will not stop reporting on this until we reach full accountability. Every day, I will continue to bring you updates, conversations, and documents that push this story forward.
Yesterday, I spoke directly with Congressman Robert Garcia of California, the Democratic leader on the House Oversight Committee. Garcia, who has personally reviewed the documents handed over by the DOJ, offered critical insights—not only about what Congress received but, crucially, about what they did not.
He confirmed that while 33,000 pages arrived on Friday, the overwhelming majority were duplicates. Of the thousands of pages, only a sliver contained new information. Even more troubling, Garcia pointed out that three separate federal courts have now rejected the Administration’s efforts to release grand jury transcript materials that could potentially illuminate who knew what, when, and how Epstein’s network functioned. Those transcripts remain sealed, keeping vital information out of public view.
Think about what that means: more than two decades after Epstein’s crimes began to surface, and more than four years after his death, we are still left with only fragments. Thousands of pages of recycled documents. Refusals to release transcripts. Endless legal maneuvers. At every turn, bureaucracy and power seem to conspire to keep the truth incomplete. Meanwhile, survivors like Jess are left to live with unanswered questions, public indifference, and an ongoing sense that justice remains out of reach.
That is why these conversations are so important. Speaking directly with survivors like Jess, and with lawmakers like Congressman Garcia, cuts through the noise. It puts a spotlight on the critical gaps in transparency. It makes clear that the fight for truth is still unfolding, and that it requires persistence, courage, and relentless pressure from the public.
If there is one message I want to leave you with, it is this: we cannot afford to look away. The Jeffrey Epstein case is not just about one man, or even about Ghislaine Maxwell. It is about systems of power and privilege that enabled abuse, protected abusers, and silenced victims. Until those systems are exposed and dismantled, the work is not finished. And as I have promised you before, I will continue this work every single day—because the survivors deserve nothing less, and the American people deserve the truth.
