MISSING TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES FOUND ONLINE Aug 24, 2026

Show notes

Thirty-seven pages of handwritten FBI notes tied to Jane Doe 4 — the woman who told investigators Jeffrey Epstein introduced her to Donald Trump when she was a minor and later accused Trump of sexual and physical assault — have apparently been found online after never appearing in DOJ’s public Epstein database. The notes add significant detail to what she told the FBI, including her alleged encounters with Trump, references to “fresh meat” and “not jaded,” additional interactions, blackmail, and potential corroboration leads. Her allegations against Trump remain unproven and have not been independently corroborated.

Huge credit to Amy Gabrielle, u/ReZeroForDays, Ellie Leonard, Rye Howard-Stone, u/Widow-in-the-City, and other researchers in r/Epstein who helped locate, trace, compare, redact, transcribe, and reconstruct all 37 pages. Their work also helped trace the files back to a Scribd account associated with Washington Examiner reporter Kaelan Deese, raising an even stranger question: how did FBI records absent from DOJ’s own public Epstein database end up circulating online? In this video, we break down what’s actually in the notes, what they do — and do not — prove, and how these supposedly missing files surfaced.

What Is Actually Going On With Melania Trump? Aug 22, 2026

Show notes

Trump’s Family is Opening a Bank—and It’s Worse Than You Think Aug 20, 2026

Show notes

Trump’s administration just conditionally approved a national bank tied to his family’s crypto company — while Trump is helping shape the rules governing the industry that has made his family billions.

Wren breaks down the new World Liberty bank, the mysterious $100 million investment tied to Bobby Zhou, the weak ethics guardrails in the stalled CLARITY Act, and why critics are calling the whole arrangement an extraordinary conflict of interest.

Trump’s Ballroom Is a “Human Shield” Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

Trump’s ballroom is apparently a lot more than a ballroom. As his legal fight heads to the Supreme Court, the administration is arguing the project is part of a national security complex — complete with a five-story underground bunker, blast-resistant construction, drone ports and sniper positions.

The Army even calls the ballroom a “sacrificial outer cover.”

And from Versailles to the Arc de Triomphe, Trump’s latest projects have some very obvious French inspiration. We went to Paris to break it all down.

Why Are Black People Found Hanging From Trees in Mississippi? Aug 17, 2026

Show notes

A 29-year-old Black mother of four is found hanging from a tree in Mississippi. Another young Black student was found hanging from a tree on his college campus. And just weeks earlier, an 18-year-old Black student went to an island with three white friends — they came back, he didn’t.

NEWSGIRLS investigates the disturbing deaths raising alarm among Black families, the details that don’t add up, and why Mississippi’s history makes these cases even harder to ignore. Why isn’t this a national story? #mississippi #crime #racism #politics #news #blacklivesmatter

New Insider Details Reveal Why Karoline Leavitt Suddenly Quit Aug 13, 2026

Show notes

Karoline Leavitt abruptly announced she’s leaving the White House—but the story behind her exit is getting a LOT weirder. New insider reporting says she’d wanted out for months as Trump repeatedly called her during maternity leave, while behind the scenes she was dealing with an increasingly consuming job, a bizarre dynamic with the president, and even the fallout surrounding that now-infamous decoy Air Force One. Mabel digs into what was really happening before Karoline quit, Trump’s VERY strange fixation on his 28-year-old press secretary, her unusual marriage—and the surprising names already being floated to replace her, including one from CNN.

A “Red Room,” Models & UN Secrets: Inside Epstein’s Paris Apartment Aug 12, 2026

Show notes

Mabel stakes out Jeffrey Epstein’s $11mil Paris apartment in the dead of night - and the details she uncovered about what took place inside are beyond disturbing. Nude photos of young girls covered the walls, there was a bizarre red leather “red room,” with a massage table and sex toys. And this wasn’t just a place to live, Epstein’s European network allegedly recruited vulnerable young girls from countries like Belarus and Poland to house here, while simultaneously, powerful diplomats and billionaires attended parties in his lair. Mabel digs into the black gate that welcomed his elite visitors, the modeling scouts accused of helping recruit women, and the UN secrets that somehow made their way into Epstein’s hands.

Everyone Around Epstein Keeps Mysteriously Dying Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

Daniel Siad, a modeling scout whose name appears thousands of times in the Epstein files, has suddenly died just as an alleged victim says he was close to arrest.

But Siad is only the latest. From Jean-Luc Brunel to Mark Middleton to Epstein’s own final cellmate, a striking number of people in Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit have died before key questions were ever fully answered.

We break down the deaths, the strange circumstances surrounding them, and why the mystery around Epstein’s network still won’t go away.

Trump Spends 70% of His Brainpower on THIS Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

You're never going to guess what Donald Trump apparently spends 70% of his mental energy on...well, actually maybe you will. It's renovations—not Iran, the economy, or the midterms.

According to Maggie Haberman, Trump is consumed by ballrooms, monuments, gold statues, a giant arch, and even the exact slope of his new White House helipad. And now his beautification obsession has sparked warnings from his own administration, a botched $15 million Reflecting Pool renovation, and a bizarre showdown with Jeanine Pirro over a literal box of pool evidence.

So is Trump redecorating Washington—or trying to build a legacy America can’t erase?

Watch the full breakdown now.

The Fired 60 Minutes Team Is Planning a Rival Show Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

A shocking new report says former 60 Minutes executive producer Bill Owens is exploring a rival investigative news show with Scott Pelley and other recently ousted correspondents and producers. The team reportedly has a pitch deck, a business plan and a goal of raising roughly $50 million to fund its first two years—with Netflix, Apple, YouTube or even NBC floated as possible homes.

As people who worked at 60 Minutes, we think the real question is bigger than where this show lands: does the value of 60 Minutes come from the name CBS owns—or from the journalists CBS pushed out?

Because the fired team may be preparing its revenge.
