SCANDAL: The Trump Administration's Cover-Up Of Jeffrey Epstein

The attempts to whitewash the Jeffrey Epstein saga reveal and administration in full cover-up mode to protect the president

• THE SECRET LIFE OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN: The Only Epstein Investigation That Aired While He Was Still Alive Will Be Rebroadcast This Friday at 9 PM ET on Narativ.

• Six years later, our archived episodes expose the systematic cover-up now protecting the president

Donald Trump's bizarre cabinet meeting turned press conference—his first availability since the DOJ's stunning memo covering up for Jeffrey Epstein— revealed a disgraced president on the verge of a fall from grace. The president hung his head in shame with glassy eyes and was especially polite with a soft-spoken voice we’ve heard him use before when he is guilty of something.

Seated to his right was Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than in the White House boardroom, and to his left, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, whose demeanor was akin to what you’d expect from someone held hostage.

The cover-up had begun Sunday night with a DOJ memo and video purporting to show a doorway leading to the cell where Epstein was found dead. The DOJ claims it proves no-one entered the area where Epstein was held but it’s unclear why the tape has gaps, nor can we take the DOJ’s word on what's on the tape

There had been signs that the Trump administration was ready to punt on the Epstein saga for months now: FBI Director Kash Patel had delayed the release of the promised Epstein files for 74+ days. That was followed today by a full-throated rejection by AG Pam Bondi that there was any evidence linking Epstein to blackmail.

Bondi said they will never release the Epstein tapes because they depicted child abuse—even though that was exactly the point of the initial investigation. Bondi’s sharp shutdown at the cabinet meeting was what catapulted the small memo scandal into the public spectacle - the confirmation of a brazen cover-up. 

You may wonder why a cover-up of a dead man's sex scandal is so important. It's because that same man, Jeffrey Epstein, was deeply integrated into Donald Trump's life for over 30 years. The Trump Department of Justice isn’t just covering-up for Epstein; it is a covering-up for Trump. 

Jeffrey Epstein was arrested July 6, 2019. Five days later, we aired the first episode of "The Secret Life of Jeffrey Epstein"—the only investigation into the pedophile billionaire that broadcast while he was alive. For eight weeks we unpacked Epstein's extraordinary links to intelligence agencies and the criminal and espionage operations they involved him in.

While he was still alive, we were able to interrogate sources who were in daily contact with Epstein's key advisors. They were able to provide us an inside track into what was happening while also allowed us to unravel the complex story of his life.

Starting Friday July 11th at 9 PM ET—exactly six years to the day and hour—we're releasing those digitally remastered episodes to expose what Trump's own people are desperately trying to bury.

Spies Among Us

We documented a multinational conspiracy primarily involving Israeli military intelligence, but also uncovered CIA connections, MI6 ties, Saudi operations, and Chinese Communist Party networks. Epstein's fake Austrian passport with a Saudi address revealed operational scope beyond any single agency.

Steven Hoffenberg and Ari Ben-Menashe independently confirmed Epstein's Israeli intelligence work. Former CIA Director William Burns held three documented meetings with Epstein in 2014. Arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi's Iran Contra operations linked Saudi intelligence to the same networks.

Erik Prince, Betsy DeVos's brother, bridged Israeli Psy Group operations with Chinese Communist Party interests through his 100% Chinese-owned Frontier Resources Group. Lital Leshem, co-founder of the Carbyne surveillance company with Epstein and Ehud Barak, worked directly alongside Prince—an Israeli Defense Force captain and former Black Cube operative bridging connecting Israel and China.

Trump and Epstein’s Decades-Long Relationship

The 1992 Mar-a-Lago footage featuring Trump, Epstein, and 28 young women provided the public with a glimpse into their womanizing relationship, which included Miss Teen USA and a decades-long playboy lifestyle in Manhattan and Florida. But Trump’s ties to the Maxwell dynasty run deeper than Epstein.

Trump’s 1988 yacht purchase from arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi linked him to Robert Maxwell’s involvement in the Iran-Contra scandal. Trump’s appearance on Maxwell’s yacht a year later in 1989 connected Trump to Maxwell.

When Maxwell’s heir apparent, Jeffrey Epstein, and his daughter Ghislaine Maxwell took over the media mogul’s espionage operation and relocated to New York City, it wasn't a surprise to see the power couple link up with Trump, who befriended Epstein and partnered in real estate deals, their friendship solidified by their individual ties to the KGB and its successor agencies, as well as Israeli military intelligence.

When Alex Acosta told the Trump transition team he was instructed to back off Epstein's 2008 prosecution because Epstein "belonged to intelligence," it provides the only obvious rationale for Epstein’s plea deal.

DOJ Cover-up

Trump's DOJ claims: "No incriminating 'client list'"

We documented: Never a "client list"—we documented systematic blackmail operations confirmed by Virginia Giuffre's sworn testimony and Ben-Menashe's operational details.

Trump's DOJ claims: "No credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals"

We documented: Ben-Menashe stating "they found a niche for themselves, blackmailing American and other political figures" + Giuffre's sworn affidavit + Acosta confirming Epstein "belonged to intelligence"

Trump's DOJ claims: "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties"

We documented: Extensive Trump-Epstein connections spanning decades, business partnerships with Ehud Barak, CIA Director Burns' three meetings, Erik Prince connections

What Trump's administration completely ignores:

• Two independent sources (Hoffenberg + Ben-Menashe) confirming Israeli intelligence connections • Alex Acosta's confirmed statement about "belonged to intelligence" • Multinational operations (Israeli, CIA, Saudi, Chinese through Erik Prince) • Trump's decades-long partnership with Epstein • Peter Thiel's business relationship with Epstein including The Carbyne company with Israeli military founders • Deep business entanglements involving intelligence networks

Instead of doing their sworn duty and investigating, Trump's appointees are actively covering up his extensive relationship with a foreign intelligence asset running blackmail operations. This represents the ultimate political vulnerability, and they're using the power of the presidency to bury it.

Narativ was first to expose these elements in what many dismissed as conspiracy theory in 2019, but time has proven the seriousness of our endeavor and our reporting and I hope as many of you as possible can join us for The Secret Life of Jeffrey Epstein when it re-airs. Our goal is to counter the massive disinformation campaign, and expose the presidential cover-up.

"The Secret Life of Jeffrey Epstein" returns Friday July 11th at 9 PM ET. Trump's cover-up validates the investigation's accuracy."
