🚨 Trump makes it official, FAS...
Whelp folks, I warned you there would be a *lot* of videos; particularly when it comes to an Epstein ring scandal that is being actively minimized by our media, and covered up by the US government. As of roughly February 15th, it looks like the Department of Justice has removed 634 documents from its "Epstein Files" releases website that contained the word Trump in them. Furthermore, pretty much nobody in the media seems to have noticed past the first few deletions, so we're heading over to Youtube to check in with Secular Talk's Kyle Kulinski - whose Epstein coverage has by and large, been excellent.
Unfortunately this video is clipped from Kyle's longer stream show, so it's a bit of a hot mess. The whole 26m clip is about releases from the Epstein files, and I'll make a note of which subjects Kyle covers under the video link, but if you're just interested in the part about Trump's Injustice Department trying to hide his incriminating appearances in the DoJ's Epstein releases, it starts at 8:25.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh092cvjZLQ
As I mentioned above, this clip is kind of a grab bag of emerging news about things people are finding in the "Epstein Files" releases. In addition to the deleted files, the video briefly covers the following topics, more or less in this order:
- Disturbing photos from the Epstein files, including one that appears to be a child's drawing about a dead baby, and a photo of Epstein holding a literal child over his lap to bite her buttocks.
- A released, partially-redacted email between Epstein and a victim who appears to be 14 years old, that provides clear evidence of Epstein grooming a presumed minor and someone forging documents so Epstein could traffic (likely Eastern European or Russian) girls across the American border.
- Steve Bannon literally comparing Epstein to a god.
- A partially-redacted photo of a prepubescent girl being violated and tortured by a group of unidentifiable men. Context is difficult to obtain here, but the photo was real enough for the FBI to collect it as part of its various investigations into Epstein.
- A released and partially redacted email in the files, from Epstein to Trump ally and current US Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, in which Epstein asks Barrack to "send photos of you and child, to make me smile."
- Kyle also plays a clip from a 2018 BBC documentary, in which multiple women accuse Trump of sexually inappropriate behavior with underage models in New York.
- Independent journalist Roger Sollenberger found out that a report accusing Trump of sexual assault by a victim the FBI found credible was recorded and placed into the investigative record, literally the day before Epstein turned up dead in 2019.
- Kyle closes off sourcing three less important, and in one case wildly misinterpreted stories about the Epstein Files, from social media users. I'm sorry to say, this part is emphatically not good journalism; but the rest of the video is fine.
The misinterpreted story concerns Epstein's former property manager Alfredo Rodriguez and the pedophile blackmailer's "little black book" of contacts. The Twitter user Kyle quotes has, shall we say, a novel interpretation of the events surrounding Rodriguez's possession of the black book, but he is correct that nobody seems to have investigated the people listed in the contacts book, or contacted the names listed in the book that Rodriquez told an undercover FBI officer were Epstein victims. You can read more about that story here:
https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/11/politics/epstein-files-video-showed-face-person-undercover
For those of you interested, I will almost certainly be talking more about Sollenberger's story of the Trump accuser the FBI interviewed right before Epstein died more at a later point in this thread, but if you're feeling impatient, you can find it here:
https://sollenbergerrc.substack.com/p/fbi-interviewed-trump-accuser-epstein
I don't have the time to watch a 2018 BBC documentary entitled "is Trump a Sex Pest?" at this late a date, given how much we know about Trump's years-long record of abusive, and violent sexual behavior towards women, including multiple allegations of rape I see no reason to disbelieve - but you can find a bit more information about it, and specifically some of the sexual harassment allegations mentioned in Kyle's video here:

Finally, you already knew he was in there but I guess we can put Steve Bannon #InTheFiles along with US Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack; who is about as close as you can get to being on the hypothetical #EpsteinList of sick pedo rapist fucks without me being prepared to actually put you there, after that email from Epstein.
