We continue to defend the 1,000+ Epstein victims, our Editor, Edge Foundation billionaires, the United States, the Presidency, Donald Trump, GOP, Dems, Green Party, Putin, and/or other Epstein victims -- supported by the Epstein files that have been released as we have been reporting -- by researching how Epstein was able to blackmail and coerce others into "associations" linked to child sex trafficking financing and other criminal activity, which much like an undertow is tough and sometimes impossible to be dragged out of, and then suddenly the person who was on the shore of blackmail by association having just met or befriended Epstein, was not aware that Epstein was setting them up for blackmail, and so he was charming to them, let others know he slept with 1,000 of Jean Luc Brunels young models -- and the honeypot trap was set -- billionaires like flies to Epstein's, Jean Luc Brunel's, Les Wexner's, Donald Trump's, and/or other modeling-like agencies and/or shows.
Unfortunately, Epstein's victims specified Donald Trump raped them, including as children.
We won't go into every case, but anyone who wants something concrete can find the lawsuit of Katie Johnson (and mentioning Maria Doe) as concrete testimony of a witness who came forward with testimony in the form of a court filing that made clear Trump could be blackmailed, and easily, and that doesn't include all of the different sources of Trump's "pee pee" fetishes and "pee pee" tapes, and all that "golden" glory he so loves, wants maybe for everything gold to look like it has been peed on?
And then per Katie Johnson's attorney Lisa Bloom, she was stalked and terrorized into no longer coming forward, and the lawsuit was aborted, along with this victim's rights. Leon Black's lawsuit by Jane Doe repeats similar gore. That sounds familiar, see our Terror Log section in the link in the menu at the top of the page. Then also see our reporting on the Australian whistleblower who has since corroborated our story but in Australia and so cross-country same story being whistleblown in a serial manner, with really no indication that much has really changed, the female Epstein victims allowed to give testimony, but our Editor shunned from giving testimony, to be able to continue to deny him, his family, the US government, US taxpayers, Americans, and so many others justice by complicity to misprision of a felony if justice is denied because it is forever delayed (now 24 years+ a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, Edge Group, Trump Plaza/Tower, and their network.
But now with the release of half of the Epstein files, the least damaging files, it becomes clear that Epstein made serious victims of some of these billionaires, and by how much?
Hundreds of millions (each in some cases) so far, with Bill Gates in the lead (as far as we immediately know), followed by Les Wexner a close second, and then Leon Black, accounting for an estimated $600-700 million in "fees", "gifts", "donations", and then there were the $15-$40 million in Thiel, Barak, art, crypto, real estate, and/or other investments, gifts, et cetera, all ways to exert control over others in different ways, but also control of their access to spies and spy technologies as founders and financiers, all linked to child sex trafficking.
Epstein was also allegedly managing and/or comixing funds with the Mountbattens (UK/EU royals and the Cambridge Analytica), Vladimir Putin, Jared Kushner, Rothchild's linked to convict and former French President Nicholas Sarkozy, Dems' Katherine Ruemmler, Peter Thiel, Bill Barr's Leon Black, the Edge Foundation (West Coast "tech bros/whores", financed by Epstein and Black), and/or others and really all a blur of treasonous child sex trafficking financing, also involved in war crimes against children, and crimes against humanity.
However, the recent files seem to prove others with enormous wealth regularly seeking and begging Epstein for approval of things -- which people don't normally entrust to a crafty and convicted child sex trafficker -- who was seemingly always looking for an angle on people, and who seemingly realized that if he had just the right number of people blackmailed -- and increasingly associated them with his criminal activities by design, and regularly recording and making records of encounters and associations -- and as he had them plotting to lure victims of Epstein into more harm -- this would ultimately and did make Epstein like a de facto emperor of the Western and/or Eastern empire (or as Michael Wolff insider specified "General in Command", of much if not most of the world between 2012-2019 -- which in itself is staggering in scope for someone to have done in so little time, but that's where the evidence leans.
What he ultimately did and passed on was how to weaponize the ventromedial nuclei of the hypothalami to engineer and control Maslowian resource types of others, much like cult leaders do, where some to all resources are handed over to them regularly, coupled to free labor to affect global operations and elections in at least the US, UK, and/or elsewhere.
Epstein pitted victims against one another, getting victims to recruit more victims, who he then victimized, and had them recruit more victims, until his contact book named at least 1,971 people, which can be found at the top of this page in our menu as well.
As we are among the first -- if not the very first researchers to publicly link Trump, Epstein, GOP, Dems, and/or Russia(ns) 2012-2019 -- having been victims of Trump, Epstein, Edge Foundation, Russia(ns), GOP, Dems, and/or others 2002-2026+, as serial whistleblowers -- now corroborated by an Australian whistleblower, and by others, and by the totality of evidence we know of and have summarized.
As serial whistleblowers-turned-law school and university professor- bound, then turned Epstein orbit victim/obstructed whistleblower via Scott Jones-Nunes/Patel-Thiel-Gates-Black-Ruemmler-Epstein-Barr-Rothchild-Sarkozy and/or other overlap is a fair bet here (2013+)-- then turned journalists, then turned serial whistleblowers again, then returned to journalism and the serial whistleblowing again -- regarding Epstein being the architect of Russia-Trump-GOP-Dems-Green Party 2012-2019 - we are satisfied that half of the evidence is public, as it gives us closure in that Epstein made victims of us all, maybe even Putin.
Here's the most recent claim, this time by Congress that the Epstein files have not been released as required by the laws of the United States because the files prove that Donald Trump raped children, and that is the reason the files are not being released, per Congressman Ted Lieu, below.
This of course supports our ongoing hypothesis that Epstein totally rigged the 2013-2019+ elections by increasingly blackmailing and coercing billionaires and non-billionaires into stalking, recruiting, intimidating, and/or retaliating against other billionaire and non-billionaire victims -- here increasing to the already large body of evidence known as the corpus -- supporting Trump was indeed being totally blackmailed by Epstein, as were his children, forced to do things they otherwise would not likely do, for example, run for public office, with all the damaging stories around Trump's behavior, he is the last person on Earth who would make sense to run for office, but not if Epstein controlled all the candidates, in which case in made good sense for him to be able to blackmail, coerce, own, influence, and/or control others, their bank accounts, their assets (Wexner handed over a giant mansion to Epstein plus hundreds of millions of dollars and his accounts worth over a billion, like Leon Black).
Snopes' Nur Ibrahim and Uprights News have largely verified the following claims against Epstein's and/or Trump's Katie Johnson's, Maria Farmer's/Doe's, Virgina Guiffre's, Stacy Williams', Ivanna Kamensky's, Svetlana Harris'/Doe's, E. Jean Carroll's, Ivanka Trump's, and/or others' similar claims, now supported by Congress, specifically by Congressman Ted Lieu, who said, "The unreleased Epstein files show Trump raping children. That's what's being hidden. That's why the files stay sealed. That's why there are no arrests."
The claim appears to stem from a real news conference Lieu held in February 2026 in which he said the Epstein files contained allegations that Trump raped and threatened children, not that they contained actual evidence to substantiate such allegations.
In May 2026, several memes and videos purported to quote Democratic U.S. Rep. Ted Lieu of California saying unreleased files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein showed President Donald Trump raping children.
One YouTube video of Lieu speaking was titled "'Trump R*P*D 13-Year-Old Minors': Ted Lieu And Victims CONFRONT Trump, Reveal HORRIFYING Details."
Per the memes, Lieu allegedly said: "The unreleased Epstein files show Trump raping children. That's what's being hidden. That's why the files stay sealed. That's why there are no arrests."
The claim appears to stem from a real news conference Lieu held in February 2026 in which he said the Epstein files contained allegations that Trump raped and threatened children, not that they contained actual evidence to substantiate such allegations.
Lieu's spokesperson confirmed via email that the publicly released files contained allegations of such an act. We reached out to Lieu to get his response to this latest claim and will update this story accordingly.
A video of the news conference available on C-SPAN documents that Lieu said:
So why are Republicans so interested in Bill and Hillary Clinton? It's because they're trying to distract from the fact that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there's highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children. Of Donald Trump threatening to kill children.
As we reported before, Lieu shared a video of this statement to his X account the same day. Lieu also reposted a clip shared by an X user who added, "That's a sitting member of Congress, on the record, describing what's in the files."
While Lieu did mention Trump and the Epstein files at the news conference, he was mainly calling for the resignation of then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche (acting attorney general as of this writing) over his comments during a Feb. 2, 2026, appearance on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" in which he said it wasn't a crime to party with Epstein.
The rest of Lieu's statement on Feb. 3 addressed Blanche's comment:
And I'm highly disturbed that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche just got the law wrong yesterday. He said essentially that it is not a crime to party with Jeffrey Epstein. Well, that's actually not correct. If Jeffrey Epstein was human trafficking minors for these sex parties and you show up and patronize the establishment at that party, yes, you're guilty, because patronizing is part of the law—the federal sex trafficking law.
So Deputy Attorney General Blanche just got that wrong, which maybe explains why they aren't investigating all these folks, including Donald Trump. He needs to read the law and investigate these people. He also needs to resign, not only for not knowing the law, but for a massive — not only a screw-up, but the biggest privacy violation in history.
Snopes has covered numerous claims about Lieu, including a false rumor that he played an audio recording of FBI Director Kash Patel allegedly saying he was told to "bury" the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

Could whatever Congressman Lieu saw in the Epstein files that made him make these public statements without being sued explain why about half of the files haven't been released?
Prior to Congress letting us know, was that information important to know in 2016+?
How about the Clintons in 2016+? Should we demand the release of everyone's emails and other communications from 1930 onward? What the hell happened to OUR country since independence?
Who are the ring leaders here, seemingly blackmailing Trump and thus Blanche to not release evidence of possible crimes Epstein forced Trump to commit -- or else -- "The Prince Andrew Treatment" or "suicided" -- and all despite Congress passing law that the files have to be released? How did we get here?
That's the topic of our next article, how Epstein recruited billionaire victims via other billionaire victims.
