- 2:44Speaker 5: and it starts right now.
- 2:45Speaker 4: Story number one.
- 2:47Speaker 5: There has been a lot of conversation about the Epstein files.
- 2:51Speaker 5: Any Democrats are now obsessed over the Epstein files and
- 2:54Speaker 5: trying to use anything where Donald Trump's name was used
- 2:58Speaker 5: to connect ten to some of horrific behavior without any
- 3:02Speaker 5: evidence to back it up. Well, while they're playing checkers,
- 3:06Speaker 5: Donald Trump is now playing chess. A pretty brilliant move
- 3:10Speaker 5: by President Donald Trump on Friday, he has now directed
- 3:14Speaker 5: the Justice Department to investigate the disgrace late financier Jeffrey
- 3:18Speaker 5: Epstein and his ties to several high profile Democrats as
- 3:23Speaker 5: well as certain banks. The President writing this now that
- 3:27Speaker 5: the Democrats are using the Epstein hoax involving Democrats not Republicans,
- 3:33Speaker 5: to try and deflect from their disastrous government shutdown and
- 3:36Speaker 5: all of their other failures. I will be asking the
- 3:40Speaker 5: Attorney General Pambondi and the Department of Justice, together with
- 3:44Speaker 5: our great patriots at the FBI, to investigate Jeffrey Epstein's
- 3:48Speaker 5: involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reed Hoffman,
- 3:54Speaker 5: JP Morgan Chase, and many other people and institutions to
- 3:59Speaker 5: determine what was going on with them and him. Trump
- 4:03Speaker 5: writing this on true Social this is another Russia Russia,
- 4:07Speaker 5: Russia scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats. He added,
- 4:12Speaker 5: records show that these men and many others spent large
- 4:16Speaker 5: portions of their life with Epstein and on his island.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Stay tuned now. In an earlier post on Friday, Trump
- 4:23Speaker 5: said that Epstein was a Democrat and therefore is the
- 4:26Speaker 5: democrats problem, not the Republican's problem.
- 4:30Speaker 2: He also accused the.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Democrats of doing everything in their withering power to push
- 4:35Speaker 5: the Epstein hoax again, despite the DOJ releasing more than
- 4:39Speaker 5: fifty thousand pages of documents. Trump said lawmakers should not
- 4:44Speaker 5: waste time looking into him and instead should focus on
- 4:46Speaker 5: the Democrats. He later named in the post, announcing the
- 4:49Speaker 5: pro Democrats, of course, are trying to use this to
- 4:52Speaker 5: hurt the president. What's interesting is if you go back
- 4:55Speaker 5: and look at the history of this. Democrats never gave
- 4:59Speaker 5: a damn a bout the victims. In fact, it's a
- 5:02Speaker 5: point that I brought up on Fox News Channel to
- 5:04Speaker 5: the Democrats face, saying, where were you guys when you
- 5:07Speaker 5: had the power to do something about this. Take a
- 5:10Speaker 5: listen to what I had to say on Abby Phillips
- 5:12Speaker 5: show on CNN. You guys gave us much thought and
- 5:16Speaker 5: much obsession over this when Joe Biden was president.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I wish you were asking for this much transparency.
- 5:22Speaker 5: When it wasn't about attacking the president of the United
- 5:24Speaker 5: States of America and we score political points. I wish
- 5:27Speaker 5: you guys cared about the victims as much as you
- 5:30Speaker 5: care about trying to attack Donald Trump. When CNN's own
- 5:34Speaker 5: reporting says, and I quote the woman who is the
- 5:36Speaker 5: survivor literally accused Democrats, not Republicans, of hiding her name
- 5:41Speaker 5: because she had not alleged.
- 5:43Speaker 2: Trump, Well, you're talking about anything wrong.
- 5:45Speaker 6: You're talking about Virginia grew correct, who we just talked
- 5:48Speaker 6: about you. And my point is she died by it,
- 5:50Speaker 6: Just to be clear, shed.
- 5:52Speaker 5: But that she accused Democrats when she was alive her
- 5:57Speaker 5: words of hiding her name because she had not alleged
- 5:59Speaker 5: Trump to have done anything wrong. That is how sick
- 6:02Speaker 5: and partisan this has become. You guys didn't care about
- 6:05Speaker 5: the victims, You didn't care about anything else. And now
- 6:07Speaker 5: you're saying, well, maybe Donald Trump knew of a crime
- 6:10Speaker 5: and maybe didn't report it.
- 6:11Speaker 2: That's just straight up slander and libel.
- 6:16Speaker 7: You're telling.
- 6:19Speaker 2: To finish watch the crime.
- 6:22Speaker 6: One thing up because I think this is important. I
- 6:24Speaker 6: don't want this mist information to be out there. When
- 6:26Speaker 6: Virginia Jeffrey said that Trump had not done anything wrong,
- 6:31Speaker 6: she was not accusing the Republicans accused Democrats of withholding
- 6:35Speaker 6: her name for that reason. She just separately said that
- 6:39Speaker 6: that she did not see Trump do anything untoward.
- 6:41Speaker 5: That's that's that's the quint and so go back to
- 6:44Speaker 5: what he made.
- 6:46Speaker 6: I don't want people to think that that it was
- 6:49Speaker 6: that's just responding to Democrats, which she was not.
- 6:51Speaker 7: But go ahead, here's the thing. First of all, Joe
- 6:53Speaker 7: Biden was not on the plane. He was not made
- 6:58Speaker 7: you go jump to another because on the plane was
- 7:00Speaker 7: not there. Everybody said, well, Joe Biden didn't do whatever.
- 7:03Speaker 7: The Democrats were never saying, don't release the Republicans now
- 7:07Speaker 7: are saying don't release. That's not true.
- 7:10Speaker 2: I've said release, stay consistent. I rea.
- 7:15Speaker 8: Ironically, the reason this is such an issue right now
- 7:19Speaker 8: is because Republicans campaigned on it and made it. Frankly,
- 7:23Speaker 8: shame on the Biden DOJ for not having been more proactive,
- 7:28Speaker 8: and thank you to the Republicans. The manner is fear
- 7:31Speaker 8: all the bloggers, fear the Republican right wing who spent
- 7:35Speaker 8: the campaign making this into a big issue.
- 7:38Speaker 5: And I'd say, now release it as long as you
- 7:40Speaker 5: protect the victim's release. But what you notice, Democrats, and
- 7:45Speaker 5: that's why I went back in history, they didn't care
- 7:47Speaker 5: about this at all. The only thing they want to
- 7:50Speaker 5: do now is hurt President Donald Trump. They want to
- 7:53Speaker 5: do anything they can to try to imply that he
- 7:55Speaker 5: did something terrible, that he did something that is like awful.
- 7:59Speaker 2: He he didn't do anything wrong. That is the biggest
- 8:02Speaker 2: difference here.
- 8:03Speaker 5: And so now with the President saying, Okay, DJ, you
- 8:07Speaker 5: guys want to go there, you want to play this game, fine,
- 8:10Speaker 5: we will investigate you. Now let's go through the names
- 8:14Speaker 5: of people. You notice he said Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton
- 8:18Speaker 5: has never been investigated for going to Epstein Island, flying
- 8:22Speaker 5: on his plane or any of the connections there, which,
- 8:25Speaker 5: by the way, also brings us to another story that
- 8:28Speaker 5: involves the Clintons. The Clinton Foundation, where money was flowing
- 8:33Speaker 5: in when Hillary Clinton was the Secretary of State and
- 8:36Speaker 5: running for president, is now the center of more attention. Now,
- 8:41Speaker 5: there's a part of this story that you may not
- 8:43Speaker 5: actually even know about, and that is the IRS actually
- 8:46Speaker 5: opened a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty nineteen.
- 8:52Speaker 2: But guess what.
- 8:53Speaker 5: In twenty nineteen, a Democrat was in charge of the
- 8:56Speaker 5: White House, the FBI, and all of all four smith
- 9:00Speaker 5: So what happened? The investigation was abruptly stopped. Here's more
- 9:06Speaker 5: of the background on that story.
- 9:08Speaker 3: And a criminal probe into the Clinton Foundation in twenty
- 9:12Speaker 3: nineteen but then suddenly stopped. That's according to new memos
- 9:16Speaker 3: detailing how agents suddenly cut off contact with whistleblowers after
- 9:21Speaker 3: months of cooperation. The National Newsdesk Jeff Harris joining us.
- 9:25Speaker 3: The federal government, as we know, has long been concerned
- 9:29Speaker 3: about the Clinton Foundation, But these memos they only add
- 9:32Speaker 3: to that worry. What are you learning tonight?
- 9:35Speaker 9: So the memos detail how IRS agents abruptly cut off
- 9:38Speaker 9: contact with two whistleblowers, John moynihan and Larry Doyle. They
- 9:43Speaker 9: had been working with for several weeks now, several meetings
- 9:46Speaker 9: even taking place with them between January and April of
- 9:49Speaker 9: twenty nineteen, before then abruptly getting cut before losing contact. Moynihan,
- 9:55Speaker 9: a retired DEA financial crimes analyst, in Doyle, a corporate
- 9:59Speaker 9: tax compliance had spent years researching the Clinton Foundation, even
- 10:03Speaker 9: testifying before Congress.
- 10:05Speaker 10: The investigation clearly demonstrates that the Foundation was not a
- 10:09Speaker 10: charitable organization per se, but in point of fact, was
- 10:14Speaker 10: a closely held family partnership.
- 10:17Speaker 9: Just The News, reviewing internal IRS emails and memos, which
- 10:20Speaker 9: show an IRS office in New Jersey, initially took serious
- 10:24Speaker 9: interest in the allegations, meeting with the two in late
- 10:27Speaker 9: twenty nineteen, one memo reading in part quote they found
- 10:30Speaker 9: numerous problems with the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Foundation
- 10:34Speaker 9: was operating as a foreign agent, but weeks later the
- 10:37Speaker 9: agent's reversed course, saying quote, we can't talk about the CF.
- 10:41Speaker 9: Others looking into the foundation include author Peter Schweizer, who
- 10:44Speaker 9: spoke with the National Newsdesk Thursday morning about his own investigation.
- 10:48Speaker 11: The Nigeria office had phone tapped interviews with Nigerian officials
- 10:54Speaker 11: saying that they had donated at the Clinton Foundation and
- 10:56Speaker 11: they were getting favors in returns.
- 10:58Speaker 9: But the Clinton Foundation as denied any wrongdoing. Hillary Clinton
- 11:02Speaker 9: even pushing back when asked about possible pay for play
- 11:06Speaker 9: during her twenty sixteen presidential campaign.
- 11:08Speaker 12: At the Clinton Foundation spend ninety percent ninety percent of
- 11:12Speaker 12: all the money that is donated on behalf of programs
- 11:16Speaker 12: of people around the world and in our own country.
- 11:19Speaker 9: Now, just the News reports both moynihan and Doyle are
- 11:22Speaker 9: currently pursuing two whistleblower cases involving the Clinton Foundation. One
- 11:27Speaker 9: is tentatively scheduled for trial beginning December.
- 11:30Speaker 5: First, here's what's interesting about this background of it stopping
- 11:35Speaker 5: this investigation twenty nineteen. Now the Trump administration has reopened
- 11:40Speaker 5: it and making it clear they're going to look into
- 11:42Speaker 5: a why it was stopped and what crimes could have
- 11:45Speaker 5: been committed. Again, the IRS opened the criminal probe and
- 11:49Speaker 5: they were shut.
- 11:50Speaker 2: Down by the Biden administration.
- 11:53Speaker 5: This is truly shocking, but now we're going to get
- 11:56Speaker 5: some answers we're being told moving forward.
