Summary
Hosts Peter Hesse and attorney Lewis Ress examine the possible links between the Epstein scandal and current geopolitical events, including Melania Trump’s statement, the wars in Iran and Venezuela, and alleged efforts to divert public attention. The episode explores Trump’s ties to Epstein, Department of Justice handling of the files, the role of oil and political influence, and why victims and Congress face difficult decisions about testimony. The hosts promise a follow-up episode focused on oil and gas.
