miliar with Acosta’s testimony to Congress told Newsmax that the CIA instructed Acosta to seal the documents related to the Epstein case. Like Epstein’s death, the


claim that Epstein worked for an intelligence agency is sup- ported by a series of seemingly improbable connections that raise, at the very least, several serious red fl ags. Epstein, a college drop-


out with no formal educa- tion, training, or teaching experience, was hired at the prestigious Dalton School in Manhattan at the same time Donald Barr, who served in the Offi ce of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, was the headmaster. Donald Barr’s son, William


Barr, served as the U.S. attor- ney general during Trump’s fi rst term and was the attor- ney general at the time of Ep- stein’s death. Ultimately, Barr concluded


Epstein’s death was a suicide caused by a “perfect storm of screwups” at the facility. Bannon told Newsmax that


if the truth is ever going to come out, Barr’s role needs to be reexamined. “The question that needs to


be pursued relentlessly is why Bill Barr pushed this narrative [of Epstein’s suicide] from the beginning,” he said. “Barr’s responsibility needs


to be locked down,” Bannon added. Tucker Carlson also specu-


lated on his podcast that the Epstein case was part of a big- ger plot involving government intel agencies, saying, “Ep- stein’s operation had all the hallmarks of an intelligence honeypot. “The cameras, the record-


ings, the access to power — it’s not a leap to think he was

Transparency F


Trump Urges More


or some years, mostly in the 1990s and early 2000s, President Donald Trump and Jeff rey Epstein moved in the same social circles in Manhattan and Palm


Beach, Florida. They attended many of the same parties and were photographed together. But despite the relentless drumbeat from critics and the media, there has


never been any evidence that Trump knew anything about Epstein’s criminal activities or was involved in them. None of Epstein’s victims have named him. No charges have ever been filed


against Trump. And no prosecutor has tied the president to Epstein’s abuse of women. Ever since the Epstein scandal erupted again this year, Trump has demanded more transparency, not less. He ordered the Department of Justice to unseal grand jury testimony related


to both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, pushing for the release of documents many in government would prefer to keep hidden. He also instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to disclose all relevant


records “subject to court approval.” Maxwell, a former girlfriend and associate of the late convicted sex off ender,


reportedly told Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche during their interview last month that Trump never did anything inappropriate in her presence, according to multiple sources familiar with the conversations. Maxwell, who is serving 20 years in prison after being convicted of sexually


traf icking minors, said nothing that could be considered harmful to the president, reported ABC News. Years before Epstein’s crimes became public, Trump cut ties with Epstein,


throwing him out of his private club Mar-a-Lago after he acted “like a creep” by trying to poach young female staff ers from the spa. In July, The Wall Street Journal published a story claiming that a sexually


suggestive letter addressed to Epstein and signed “Donald” appeared in a 2003 birthday album. Trump called the letter “100% fake,” “malicious,” and “defamatory,” and has sued Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Journal and Fox News, for $10 billion.


working for someone larger than himself.” During a Turning Point


speech on July 11, Carlson pondered, “How does a guy go from being a math teacher at the Dalton School in the late ’70s with no college degree to having multiple airplanes, a private island, and the largest residential house in Manhat- tan? “Where did all the money


come from?” Epstein’s girlfriend and en-


abler, Ghislaine Maxwell, is three years into a 20-year sen- tence for recruiting women and underage girls for Epstein


to sexually abuse. She never gave her version


of events to federal prosecu- tors before her 2021 trial, and never testifi ed in her own de- fense. But in July she agreed to meet with offi cials from the DOJ who are looking for more information on the case. Maxwell, 63, who is serv-


ing her time at a low-security federal prison in Bryan, Texas, after being transferred from a prison in Tallahassee, Florida, remains the linchpin in the Ep- stein aff air and one of the few people who know the names, times, dates, and places of his entanglements.
