    Author Barry Levine returns to update Nestor his Ghislaine Maxwell findings after his Epstein book The Spider

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 31, 2025 17:48


    Forty years ago at The News American in Baltimore, then-sportswriter Barry Levine was a colleague of Nestor and went on to a life of award-winning journalism investigating all sorts of celebrity mysteries and criminals. Over the last decade, he's written a pair of of books chronicling the predatory acts of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. After his widely-read piece in The New York Times in July, he returned for some updates and recent twists in the pedophile plot for The Felon King. [ ] Investigate the financial connections between Epstein, Trump, and Russian banks. [ ] Examine the FBI's handling of the Epstein case, including whether they failed to properly investigate and prosecute Epstein and his associates. [ ] Follow up on the lack of transparency in the release of the Epstein files and the government's reluctance to make them public. Barry Levine's Introduction and Background Nestor Aparicio introduces Barry Levine, a former colleague and author, to discuss his latest essay in the New York Times about Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein's involvement with President Trump. Barry Levine is described as an author who has written books on Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Nestor Aparicio mentions resharing Barry's book "The Spider" and reflects on the current political climate with Trump back in office. Barry Levine begins by discussing the resurgence of interest in the Epstein case, particularly during Ghislaine Maxwell's trial and sentencing. Trump's Involvement and Promises Barry Levine explains Trump's long-standing friendship with Epstein and their mutual interests in modeling agencies and parties. Trump's promise of transparency, including the release of JFK and Martin Luther King files, led to expectations of Epstein files. The release of Epstein files was seen as a show for Trump's base, but it contained mostly known information. The public and victims were disappointed when no new documents were released over the Fourth of July weekend. Reactions and Conspiracy Theories Barry Levine discusses the public's reaction, including anger from both Democrats and Republicans, and the splintering of Trump's base. Nestor Aparicio asks about a "smoking gun" that could prove the connection between Trump and Epstein. Barry Levine suggests that the FBI files could reveal the FBI's inaction and political reasons for not pursuing wealthy and powerful individuals. The potential for damaging information on figures like Bill Clinton, Donald Trump, and Prince Andrew is highlighted. Ghislaine Maxwell's Role and Allegations Barry Levine describes Ghislaine Maxwell's involvement in Epstein's crimes, including her role in grooming and abusing victims. Maxwell's lack of remorse and her dismissive attitude towards the victims are emphasized. Nestor Aparicio expresses concern over the recent development of Trump's lawyer interviewing Maxwell. Barry Levine criticizes the idea of believing anything Maxwell says without evidence and questions her motives for cooperating with the government. Financial Connections and International Influence Barry Levine discusses the financial connections between Epstein and Trump, including their involvement in modeling agencies and international fixers. Senator Ron Wyden's investigation into Epstein's financial dealings, including wire transfers through Russian banks, is mentioned. The potential for international cooperation in investigating and prosecuting those involved in the sex trafficking ring is discussed. Nestor Aparicio reflects on the broader implications of Trump's connections to Russia and the trafficking of young models. Conclusion and Future Implications Barry Levine believes the Epstein story will continue to be a significant scandal for Trump throughout his term and possibly beyond. Nestor Aparicio encourages listeners to support Barry Levine's work and buy his books. The conversation ends with Nestor expressing hope that the controversy will continue to follow Trump.
