Trump’s Elite Pedophile Protection Program

I usually let the survivors’ voices speak for themselves—but this report deserves your attention. Thom Hartmann exposes what the DOJ and FBI already know: twenty predators, zero accountability. Call it what it is—Trump’s Elite Pedophile Protection Program—a system built to shield the powerful while victims wait for justice. No spin, no speculation—just the truth we can’t afford to ignore.

“I have my own perspective on Meidas Touch, but this interview highlights Lisa Phillips’ courage and her choice to share her story with them.” 🚨 SURVIVOR Steps FORWARD to EXPOSE ALL as Trump HIDES FILES

MeidasTouch, 5.49M subscribers, Oct 19, 2025 The MeidasTouch Podcast

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas interviews Epstein survivor Lisa Phillips about what she endured and her courageous journey as a survivor and an advocate for survivors as she calls for the Epstein files to be released and Meiselas talks about Phillips new initiative.

‘He asked me if I wanted to meet a prince’: how Lisa Phillips survived grooming and abuse by Jeffrey Epsteinr

‘Sometimes you think, “He’s not going to do anything this time, thank God.”’ … Phillips during her modelling career. Photograph: -

Phillips would visit Epstein every month or so at his office in his Manhattan mansion. He didn’t assault her every time, but regularly. Still, people she respected spoke highly of him, and she also enjoyed her talks with him. “It was kind of like a mentoring moment – it was always a learning experience. Sometimes you think: ‘He’s not going to do anything this time, thank God.’ But Jeffrey just had this appetite – he was seeing six to eight girls a day. It was confusing.”

She started to question it more when Epstein was trying to get her to meet men who had nothing to do with modelling or acting – for instance, famous rock stars. “I would start asking straight out: why?” Later, she saw a friend, who was also involved with Epstein, upset. “[She] was told, when she was at Jeffrey’s house, to go into a room with [a high-profile individual] and she had to have sex with him. After that, she was like: who is Jeffrey, and why would he make me do something like that? It was horrible for her.” Phillips confronted Epstein; it would be the last time they spoke. Not long afterwards, she moved to Los Angeles to get away from him. He called a few times, then stopped.

For many years, she tried not to think about it, until Epstein’s death in 2019. After that, she met other survivors and began to make sense of what had happened to her. It was another reason she wanted to start the podcast, “because in our society today, there’s a lot of Jeffrey Epsteins out there, there’s a lot of copycats doing the same thing”. They may not be as powerful or well-connected as Epstein, but they are still manipulative. “It’s an easy thing to fall for when people are grooming you. We need to get education out there. I hope people are strong enough to say, this doesn’t sound right – but you need to know what those red flags are.”

Phillips hopes more names associated with Epstein will be released. “I do want more to come out. The powerful men behind this, that women were trafficked to, want you to be silenced. But little by little, we’re getting there.” There is a wider understanding of abuse, and although victim-shaming and not believing survivors still happens, it is decreasing, Phillips thinks.

She wouldn’t have been able to speak out about it while Epstein was still alive, she says, because he retained some kind of grip on her. Therapy has helped – the trauma therapy known as EMDR was, she says, life-changing – as has speaking to other survivors. “Through these women, I found empowerment, and courage to say: ‘You know what? I don’t need to be ashamed any more.’ This is my story, and now I’m going to help people.”

At this unsettling time

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you close this tab, we want to ask if you could support the Guardian at this crucial time for journalism in the US.

Not all journalism is the same. At the Guardian, we see it as our job not only to report the facts as we find them, but to give you the whole picture. Never sanitized or censored, our reporting provides the historical and global context necessary to fully understand the turbulent times in which we’re living.

As we witness the erosion of democratic norms and political stability in our country – with heightened violence and division, troops on city streets, attacks on academia and science, and disregard for the rule of law – the role of the press as an engine of scrutiny, truth and accountability becomes increasingly important.

At the Guardian, we proudly platform voices of dissent, and we are fearless when it comes to investigating corruption and challenging power. We don’t have a single viewpoint, but we do have a shared set of values: humanity, curiosity and honesty guide us, and our work is rooted in solidarity with ordinary people and hope for our shared future.

Not every news organization sees its mission this way – and nor is their editorial independence as ironclad as ours. In the past year, several large US media outlets have caved to outside pressure at the behest of their corporate and billionaire owners. We are thankful the Guardian is different.

Our only financial obligation is to fund independent journalism in perpetuity: we have no ultrarich owner, no shareholders, no corporate bosses with the power to overrule or influence our editorial decisions. Reader support is what guarantees our survival and safeguards our independence – and every cent we receive is reinvested in our work.

It has never been more urgent, or more perilous, to pursue reporting in the US that holds power to account and counters the spread of misinformation – and at the Guardian we make our journalism free and accessible to all. Can you spare just 37 seconds now to support our work and protect the free press?

We value whatever you can spare, but a recurring contribution makes the most impact, enabling greater investment in our most crucial, fearless journalism. As our thanks to you, we can offer you some great benefits – including seeing far fewer fundraising messages like this. We’ve made it very quick to set up, so we hope you’ll consider it. Thank you.

Jeffrey Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre tells her story in posthumous memoir

CBS Sunday M., Oct 19, 2025

Virginia Giuffre was a 16-year-old employee at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 when she says she was recruited by Ghislane Maxwell into Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring, which Maxwell denies. Before she died by suicide earlier this year, Giuffre wrote a memoir, "Nobody's Girl," and sought the release of the Epstein Files, currently under control of the Trump administration. Tracy Smith talks with Giuffre's co-author, Amy Wallace, and with her brother and sister-in-law, about the woman Giuffre was, her life after Epstein, and whether Maxwell – now in prison for sex trafficking – should be pardoned.

WrThe Epstein survivor who 'changed' Nicolle Wallace speaks out

As I told you, I will not say anything about the monsyer, but I will share what his victims say. Please watch and learn.

Sep 15, 2025 The Best People with Nicolle Wallace

At 22 years old, Jess Michaels was thriving. She was finding success as a dancer and model in New York City. Then, in 1991, she met Jeffrey Epstein. Jess Michaels was sexually assaulted by Epstein and it destroyed her stability, her career and her health. After doing the work to begin healing from this trauma, she has found renewed purpose as an advocate alongside other survivors of Epstein's abuse. The day after excerpts from Epstein’s 50th birthday book were made public, Jess and her lawyer, Jennifer Freeman, joined Nicolle Wallace to call out the decades of institutional cowardice, and with a warning for elected leaders: Jess and her fellow survivors are not going away, and they are not going to stop until they get accountability, truth and justice.

Until this point, I have not spent anytime on discussing this issue. I do not believe in naming the names of mass murders or sexual abusers. As a rape victim, I will not give voice to predators and abusers.

But the survivors spoke out. It's time to thank them abd hear them. The DOJ must release the files and allow these brave women to maybe get peace. Let's support them through contacting your congreeman, your senator, or Pam Bondi and the department of justice. We need to fight with them by giving voice to their pain and suffering. Stand with the victims.

The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act — introduced by Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Ro Khanna (D-CA) — requires the Department of Justice to publicly release all unclassified materials related to Epstein's crimes in a fully searchable and downloadable format.

I never thought I would say this, but the following women showed backbone and did the right thing for a change:

• Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA): She stated that releasing the files was something "worth fighting for".

• Nancy Mace (R-SC): She is one of the Republican representatives who went ahead and signed the petition.

• Lauren Boebert (R-CO): She is another attention-courting politician who signed the petition to release the files.

I will keep the victims' voices out there, so you can hear them and help them. It doesn't matter who the abusers were/are. They MUST face justice!
