As the Department of Justice slow-walks an over-redacted release of its files on Jeffrey Epstein, Harry convenes CNN's Aaron Blake, former Senator Heidi Heitkamp, and NOTUS White House correspondent Jasmine Wright to analyze the administration's ham-handed noncompliance. The trio also dig into Vanity Fair's explosive revelations about the White House and Trump's top aide Susie Wiles. They close by considering the administration's escalations in the Caribbean and the real motives behind them. And, late in the episode, Harry offers a reflection on Rob Reiner's passing.

Dan Bongino announces his exit from the FBI, sparking a heated debate on principles, power, faith, and corruption. The panel breaks down what changed Bongino, the Epstein files controversy, clashes inside the FBI, and what his return to media could mean next.

Today's Headlines: The Epstein files were legally due to drop on Friday — and instead, the DOJ punted. Rather than releasing everything as required, the department said it'll roll documents out gradually because it “ran out of time,” and posted about 13,000 heavily redacted files. Some documents then mysteriously vanished from the DOJ website, including a photo from Epstein's apartment that showed Donald Trump, prompting Democrats to demand a timeline and an explanation for what's now very likely an illegal partial release. DOJ leadership insists nothing — and no one — is being protected. Meanwhile, the New York Times filled in some gaps the DOJ didn't, publishing extensive reporting that describes Trump and Epstein as close friends, citing more than 30 former employees, victims, and witnesses. The report alleges Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell introduced Trump to at least six women who later accused him of grooming or abuse, including one who was a minor at the time. Trump has denied the allegations. In other news, authorities say the suspect in last weekend's Brown University shooting — now deceased — may have targeted MIT fusion researcher Nuno Loureiro, whom he reportedly knew from an academic program in Portugal. The motive remains unclear, but the case has raised eyebrows amid Trump Media's sudden merger with a nuclear fusion company and new reporting that Putin heavily influenced Trump's Ukraine envoy. Add in fresh revelations about Stephen Miller pushing for military strikes wherever he could find a target, murky inflation data thanks to shutdown gaps, Trump rescheduling marijuana (and nodding off while doing it), and Elise Stefanik abruptly dropping out of New York's governor race — and yes, it was another very normal news week.

Let's talk about Trump's DOJ still not releasing the Epstein files....

The US is pursuing an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. The Justice Department's release of the Epstein files is causing widespread criticism. We explain why the pulling of an episode of “60 minutes” has caused internal turmoil at CBS. Police in Australia say the suspected Bondi Beach gunmen threw bombs into the crowd which did not go off.

Christmas parties, Christmas dinners, Christmas Day: this time of the year can be full of hosting duties and opportunities. But for many women, hosting can be the source of stress and worry, whether it's the house, the food or the relationships between our family and friends. To discuss what our worries reveal and what you can do to enjoy hosting more and stress a bit less, Datshiane Navanayagam is joined by psychotherapist and author Philippa Perry and content creator Matilda Bea.Thousands of pages of documents related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's abuse were released by the US Department of Justice last Friday and dominated headlines over the weekend. The DOJ then removed at least 13 files from the website without explanation by Saturday because of concerns raised by victims, according to the deputy attorney general. One of the images removed included a photograph of US President Donald Trump. Datshiane Navanayagam is joined by BBC Correspondent, Joe Inwood to hear more. The government has announced that next year it will cease funding its flagship international programme to prevent FGM, or Female Genital Mutilation. A recent report published by a group of MPs says access to services for survivors in the UK is a postcode lottery and they are often not provided with the appropriate counselling services. To discuss this, Datshiane Navanayagam is joined by Sema Gornall, CEO of The Vavengers, a UK-based charity committed to ending Female Genital Mutilation, and Christine Jardine, Liberal Democrat MP for Edinburgh West and member of the Women and Equalities Committee.Christmas shopping is stressful at the best of times, but what about for those working in retail? Women account for 66% of jobs in the sector, and a recent study by the retail trust found three quarters have experienced abuse this year, with 43% wanting to quit their jobs as a result. The rate of shoplifting has also gone up by 13% from last year, the highest for 20 years. We hear from retail worker Stephanie Michelle and Chris Brook-Carter, chief executive of the Retail Trust.

JPMorgan Chase, which has been sued by women alleging the bank enabled Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking by maintaining him as a client for years, sought to compel the Manhattan District Attorney's office to turn over records as part of that lawsuit. The bank issued subpoenas to District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office for statements made by one of the alleged victims to a prosecutor and other documents that might be relevant to JPMorgan's defense and its own claims against former executive Jes Staley, who had a friendship with Epstein. JPMorgan argued these records were necessary for its case and that the DA's office could not shield them through claims of privilege or grand jury secrecy. A federal judge agreed that certain records must be provided to the bank, ruling that the DA's assertions of privilege did not apply to the specific statements sought.The bank's efforts to obtain these prosecutor records reflected its broader legal strategy to show it lacked liability and to push back against allegations that it turned a blind eye to Epstein's criminal conduct. By insisting on access to the DA's files, JPMorgan aimed to uncover information about what prosecutors knew and when, potentially undermining accusations that the bank failed to act despite warning signs. The ruling that the Manhattan DA's office must hand over some of these documents marked a significant moment in civil litigation tied to Epstein's network, highlighting how transactional discovery in Epstein-related lawsuits can reach into prosecutors' investigatory materials under certain legal conditions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Once upon a time, many years ago in a place called Vault 76, the best and brightest of the old world were safe from the ravages of nuclear fire and destruction.The road to hell is paved with good intentions. The Vaults were designed to safeguard the future of humanity…at least some of them were. Many survivors were subjected to the most inhumane and vile experiments, all in the name of preserving the future of the species.Vault 76 wasn't supposed to be that way…it was a control Vault, a special place exactly as described in the Vault Tec Propaganda. However, not even the Garden of Eden was perfect…and deep underground, when presented with her own opportunity to take a bite of the Fruit of Knowledge, the Overseer will cross the line and create a monster of her own, all in the name of the greater good.

Over-regulation is not the solution to what ails the American banking system. Rigorous, responsible supervision is. The initial report on the 2023 debacle by former Vice Chairman for Supervision, Michael Barr, was an exercise in obfuscation and sophistry.

Source: nypost.com   If there was every anything about Trump, it would have been released before he reached the bottom of the escalator in 2015, the Comey FBI would have leaked it, and the Dems would have brought it up at some point while Biden was in office. But none of that happened. Why? Because Epstein leads to the Dems, and people like myself have been trying to warn the world about it for 10+ years.  https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002408563193368834?s=20  and it worked brilliantly. Could you imagine if in Trump's first term he released all this stuff about Epstein? The public would not have believed it, and the Dems/MSM would have claimed it was all politically motivated and fabricated by Trump. The only way this Epstein disclosure was going to work, was to get the public to beg for it. So that's what Trump did. https://twitter.com/MikeBenzCyber/status/2002450017647301084?s=20 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2002530633394934144?s=20   partner with Wolfe via the TerraMar project, which is also connected to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation. What is Nathan Wolfe known for? Searching for bat coronaviruses in Ukraine via USAID Project PREDICT, via his biolab company, Metabiota, which was funded via Rosemont Seneca, which is partially owned by Hunter Biden. Russia accused Wolfe and his biolab company of creating genome-specific biological weapons in Ukraine. This situation has been addressed by RFK Jr. and Tulsi multiple times, and has been a major topic at the UN for over 3 years now. So Epstein had an interest in eugenics and he had financial/social connections to virologists who were making genome-specific biological weapons via USAID grants in Ukraine. Nathan Wolfe even directly thanked Epstein in his 2011 book “The Viral Storm: The Dawn of the New Pandemic Age” where Wolfe predicted the COVID pandemic 8 years before it happened… So what am I getting at? I think Epstein had plans to engage in ethnic cleansing/population control/genocide via biological weapon, and I think he had something to do with Covid. Epstein is at the epicenter of the Deep State empire. He was essentially a real life James Bond villain. The timing could not be worse. He and Hillary are in the middle of trying to fight subpoenas to testify in person to the House Oversight Committee on the Epstein matter and what they might know. They want to submit sworn statements. Republican Committee Chair James Comer (KY-1) wants to be able to question and cross-examine them in person.  DOGE Geopolitical U.S. Snatches Venezuela Oil Tanker in Dark‑Hour Strike on Narco‑Terror Funding In a stealth operation carried out before dawn on Dec. 20, the U.S. Coast Guard—working alongside the Department of War—seized an oil tanker last seen in the terrorist state of Venezuela.

This creates a rather bizarre official hypocrisy within the Zelenskyy regime.  The official position of Zelenskyy is that Eastern Ukraine will never be accepted as a part of the Russian federation. Zelenskyy has recently noted, with EU leadership support, that his government will never recognize Eastern Ukraine as part of the Russian federation.  However, this same region, approximately 20% of Ukraine, will not be permitted to participate in his controlled election. Essentially, any Ukraine resident who does not support Zelenskyy will not be permitted to vote in any election, if any election is ever permitted.  Additionally, Zelenskyy notes that “there is the practice of voting abroad,” however, any region not controlled by Zelenskyy cannot submit votes.

It also assesses that, as the last few years have shown, Russia's battlefield performance indicates it does not currently have the capability to conquer and occupy all of Ukraine, let alone Europe. https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/2002503405156151648?s=20   invade/conquer Europe (in order to gin up support for their pro-war policies). The truth is that ‘US intelligence' assesses that Russia does not even have the capability to conquer and occupy Ukraine, what to speak of ‘invading and occupying' Europe.   Source: zerohedge.com WATCH: US CENTCOM Releases Footage from Operation Hawkeye Strikes Against 70+ ISIS Targets  US Central Command released footage from Operation Hawkeye strikes against ISIS militants and facilities on Friday night. “Tonight, U.S. and Jordanian forces struck 70+ ISIS targets in Syria with 100+ precision munitions.

Kennedy and now additionally honors President Donald J. Trump, who has brought America back and saved the Trump-Kennedy Center. The Board's action is permissible under the statute and no legislation is necessary. The Board’s action does nothing to change the statutory title. Instead, the Board has–in line with longstanding Executive Branch practice–designated a new name. For example, The Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer, within the Office of Management & Budget, is designated by statute as the “Office of Electronic Government.” But it's long gone by the name “Office of the Federal Chief Information Officer” in official, public, and internal communications. Similarly, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is designated by statute as the “Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection.” But since the beginning, the agency has long gone by the name Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or CFPB in all official communications, correspondence with the Hill, titles and signage on its buildings. The “United States Institute of Peace” was established by statute but was renamed by the Department of State as the “Donald J. Trump United States Institute of Peace.” The Department of War was established as the “Department of Defense” by statute in 1947. Earlier this year, President Trump authorized the use of the name “Department of War” and the name is now etched on the Pentagon's building and in official correspondence and public communications. It is entirely fitting for the Board of Trustees to vote to add President Trump to the title so that this Center is now named The Donald J. Trump And The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. President Trump has provided superb leadership at every level to save the Kennedy Center from financial ruin and wokeness, and to bring our national treasure to new heights!

For years, expectations around the public release of the so-called Epstein files were deliberately inflated by commentators who framed them as a singular, revelatory moment. In reality, the release largely consisted of recycled court documents that have been publicly accessible for years through federal court dockets, particularly via PACER. These materials were never hidden from the public, only tedious and costly to access, and their reappearance does not meaningfully alter the known factual record. The framing of the release as explosive disclosure obscured the reality that institutional document dumps are often designed to overwhelm rather than illuminate. The result was predictable disappointment for those who expected a decisive breakthrough rather than procedural continuity. The substance of the case has always lived in patterns, legal frameworks, and long-running litigation, not in a single trove of files. The release changed presentation, not content.Longtime followers of the case, however, were not caught off guard, having spent years navigating depositions, judicial orders, motions, and survivor-driven litigation such as CVRA claims and the USVI lawsuits. That sustained engagement created a foundation that allowed experienced observers to contextualize the release quickly, while latecomers struggled to orient themselves. The real value of the document dump lies not in shock value, but in marginal details that require time, verification, and disciplined analysis to assess. The work remains slow, methodical, and resistant to spectacle, prioritizing accuracy over speed. Despite attempts to frame the release as proof that “there is nothing there,” the broader record continues to point toward systemic protection and institutional failure. The investigation, therefore, remains ongoing, with the focus shifting forward rather than backward. The pursuit of transparency and accountability continues as a process, not a moment.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The U.S. Department of Justice has come under fire after releasing thousands of pages of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, only to include extensive redactions that critics say undermine the law's intent. Lawmakers and advocates argue the heavily blacked-out material—some pages entirely obscured and many more with large sections removed—fails to meet the statutory requirement for transparency. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended the redactions, saying they were legally necessary to protect victims' identities and sensitive information, but opponents counter that the lack of clear explanations for the edits fuels suspicion and diminishes public trust in the process. The Hill noted that even innocuous or puzzling redactions (such as non-substantive content) have drawn ire and raised questions about whether the DOJ is fully complying with the law.The controversy intensified as some documents initially published on the Justice Department's website were removed without explanation just days after release, including files that appeared to contain a photograph featuring a former U.S. president alongside Epstein. Critics from both parties, including co-sponsors of the transparency legislation, accused the department of a “bare minimum” rollout that falls short of Congress's mandate, and threatened further oversight or legal action to enforce compliance. DOJ officials maintain they are continuing to review and release additional materials on a rolling basis, but the dispute highlights ongoing tensions over how much of Epstein's records should be public and how to balance survivor privacy with demands for accountability.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:16 Epstein files, including photo of Donald Trump, disappear from DOJ website: ReportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Circuit Judge Donald W. Hafele was the trial-level judge in Palm Beach County who repeatedly denied efforts to unseal the secret grand jury transcripts from the 2006 grand jury that investigated Jeffrey Epstein in Florida. When media organizations such as The Palm Beach Post and others petitioned the court to release the secret testimony that might explain why Epstein received a lenient plea deal, Hafele ruled that under existing Florida law he did not have the authority to release those normally confidential records, even though public interest arguments were made about transparency and justice. His rulings maintained the traditional secrecy of grand jury proceedings and kept the transcripts sealed.That decision was overturned by the Florida Fourth District Court of Appeal, which unanimously concluded that Hafele had erred in saying he lacked authority to release the records. The appeals court ruled that under state law grand jury records could be made public if doing so would “further justice,” and ordered Hafele (or the trial court) to review the materials and determine which parts could be released with appropriate redactions. In effect, Hafele's earlier closure was not the final word; the appellate ruling opened the door to unsealing at least portions of the grand jury transcripts, marking a key shift in the long battle over access to these Florida records.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

After months of political wrangling, parts of the long-awaited Epstein files have been released by the US Justice Department. The trove consists of thousands of documents related to the late sex-offender. Pictures include the former US President Bill Clinton, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor - Britain's former prince, musicians Mick Jagger and Michael Jackson. Being named or pictured in the files is not an indication of wrongdoing. The justice department did not release all existing files, and the published ones were heavily redacted, prompting frustrated reactions from survivors of Epstein's abuse.Also: the US carries out dozens of strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria. Anti-government youth protesters in South Korea are taking cues from the American right's MAGA movement. Italy announces a fee for tourists to visit the Trevi Fountain in Rome.
