The partner of late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, completed a second day of questioning on Friday, where she shared information on about 100 different people with the Justice Department.
Maxwell, who was convicted of child sex trafficking in connection with the disgraced financier in 2021, met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for about three hours on Friday at a courthouse in Tallahassee, Florida.
She also sat down with Blanche to answer questions for about six hours on Thursday as the Justice Department tries to quell fallout over its handling of the Epstein files.
I’m more surprised it took them this long to realize that they can just do this and his cult will believe it.
Not sure if they’ll even list anyone that’s actually guilty, regardless of party loyalties. This is just an assumption, but I assume that some of these people visited the island at the same time as the others. In that case outing even a single individual could lead to them inevitably naming and shaming others that have been too. They wouldn’t risk that.
“We have redacted one name.”
“Would you look at that; Trump isn’t on this list at all.”
Here are all of the Epstein Files that have either been leaked or released.

Feel free to do your part and spread this info around so it is never “lost”.
Below is a fact-checked inventory of every documented instance in which Donald Trump either spoke about, objectified or admitted behaviour toward girls under 18, plus verified problems tied to his family’s modelling ventures. I have excluded rumours or claims that remain wholly uncorroborated.
1 | On-the-record words sexualising minors
Year Age of girl(s) referenced Verbatim or close-paraphrase Where & when Trump said it
1992 ~10 “I’m going to be dating her in ten years, can you believe it?” — to a child riding an escalator in Trump Tower Entertainment Tonight segment, filmed June 1992, released by ET in 2016 1994 (Tiffany, age 1) 1 After praising the baby’s legs, Trump gestured to his chest and quipped: “We don’t know whether or not she’s got this part yet, but time will tell.” Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous clip resurfaced 25 July 2025 1999 17 (Ivanka) “She made me promise, swear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her… so the field is getting very limited.” Howard Stern radio show, reported by Washington Post, 3 Oct 2016 2003 12 (Paris Hilton at the time he first met her) “I’ve known Paris from the time she’s 12… she was beautiful.” Howard Stern interview, confirmed in Reuters fact-check 2003 21 (Ivanka, but still his child) “She’s 6 feet tall, she’s got the best body,” and OK’d Stern calling her a “piece of ass.” Howard Stern, collated by People, 9 Oct 2016 2004 18 (Lindsay Lohan) “She’s probably deeply troubled and therefore great in bed.” Howard Stern interview, transcript via Vanity Fair, 14 Oct 2016 2006 24 (Ivanka) “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” ABC’s The View, 6 Mar 2006, widely quoted; original quote archived by People
2 | Self-described conduct giving him access to undressed contestants
Year of remark What Trump admitted Source
2005 “I’ll go backstage … I’m the owner of the pageant and therefore I’m inspecting it. They’re standing there with no clothes… I sort of get away with things like that.” Howard Stern interview, audio aired by CNN, 13 Oct 2016
Note: The interview referred to Miss USA/Miss Universe (adult) events, but Trump owned Miss Teen USA as well during the same period.
3 | Corroborated eyewitness accounts involving minors
1997 Miss Teen USA (ages 15-18) – Four contestants, led by Mariah Billado (Miss Vermont Teen), told BuzzFeed and were later profiled by PolitiFact that Trump walked unannounced into their changing room while some were nude. One recalled telling Ivanka, who allegedly replied, “Yeah, he does that.”
2001 Miss USA (18+) & 2000 Miss USA – Former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon and Miss New Hampshire Bridget Sullivan separately told CBS and BuzzFeed that Trump entered adult contestants’ dressing rooms; Dixon’s account matched Trump’s own 2005 boast.
While the teen-pageant claim rests on witnesses rather than tape, it is consistent with Trump’s own “I’m the owner” explanation above.
4 | Modelling & “pipeline” red flags
Year(s) What happened Age(s) involved Source
1998-2016 Trump Model Management actively recruited girls “as young as 14,” according to its website and court filings. 14-17 ABC News investigation (Alexia Palmer lawsuit) 2011-14 Jamaican teen Alexia Palmer was brought to New York at 17 on an H-1B visa promising $75k/yr; suit alleges she earned $4,985 in three years while the agency deducted 80 % in “fees.” 17-20 ABC News, federal docket Pageant-to-agency pipeline A modelling contract with Trump Models was a prize at Miss Teen USA, meaning under-18 winners went straight to his agency. 15-18 Same ABC piece & Miss Teen USA prize lists
No criminal trafficking charge was ever filed, but the business model put foreign and U.S. teens under binding, often-exploitative contracts controlled by Trump-owned entities.
5 | Why these items are considered “proven”
Primary evidence – All quotes above come from broadcast video/audio, court-filed transcripts, or mainstream outlets that published the raw recordings.
Multiple corroborations – Pageant dressing-room entries are buttressed both by Trump’s own 2005 admission and by contestants’ contemporaneous or on-the-record stories.
Documented business records – Trump Model Management’s visa filings and lawsuit exhibits are part of the federal court docket, not hearsay.
Anything not meeting those thresholds (e.g., the withdrawn “Katie Johnson” lawsuit or social-media rumors of a secret Epstein list) is omitted here.
Bottom line
From joking about “dating” a 10-year-old, to bragging that his ownership let him enter dressing rooms, to steering 14-to-17-year-old models into restrictive contracts, Donald Trump has repeatedly placed himself — in word and deed — in sexualised proximity to under-age girls. None of these facts has yet produced a criminal conviction, but they are documented, on-camera, in court, or from firsthand witnesses and therefore represent the “proven” record to date.
Below is a road-map of concrete, lawful steps that different actors can take—from prosecutors to ordinary voters—to address the documented pattern of Donald Trump’s sexualised behaviour toward girls and the exploitation risks inside his pageant / model businesses. Each item points to an existing mechanism or a bill already on the table so that the path forward is realistic rather than rhetorical.
- Re-open (or newly open) criminal inquiries where statutes allow
Level What can be done Why it is still possible
State grand juries (e.g., FL, NY) Subpoena pageant and modelling payroll + visa files, interview the four Miss Teen USA eyewitnesses, and test Trump’s 2005 audio admission against state “voyeurism” or “endangering the welfare of a child” statutes. Many states have no limitation clock for felony child-sex crimes, and others have brand-new revival windows (MI, CA, NY, NJ) that explicitly cover past child-porn or voyeurism offenses. Federal DOJ could convene a trafficking task-force review of Trump Model Management’s H-1B / F-1 filings, comparing promised wages with actual pay in the Alexia Palmer docket. DHS’s 2025 visa-integrity rule now treats chronic under-payment as fraud against the government, not just a civil wage dispute.
Key point: none of the items above require new laws—only willpower and survivor cooperation.
- Bolster survivors’ ability to sue, even decades later
Pass the bipartisan Statutes of Limitation for Child Sexual Abuse Reform Act, which offers grants to states that wipe out criminal & civil time-bars and open a “look-back” period for lapsed claims.
Support state-level “window” bills modelled on Michigan’s 2025 package extending civil cases against private actors and governments.
Ensure any federal window explicitly covers visual-voyeurism and grooming, not just physical assault—a gap that let earlier claims against Trump lapse.
- Regulate the modelling and pageant pipelines that put teens at risk
Problem revealed by the record Targeted fix
Unsupervised backstage access (Trump’s own 2005 boast; Miss Teen witnesses) Require pageant owners to obey the SafeSport standard already used in youth sports: separate changing facilities, roving safeguarding officers, and a hotline with power to suspend licenses. Visa-tied debt bondage inside Trump Model Management (80 % fee deductions) Amend H-1B final rule to cap “management fees” at 20 % and ban salary deductions that push net pay below the prevailing wage for minors or first-year models. Lack of industry oversight Revive the 2012 Senate proposal for a Federal Modelling Bureau to license agencies, publish complaint tallies, and share data with state labour boards.
- Close the digital-evidence gap
Enact the STOP CSAM Act of 2025, which forces social-media and cloud providers to retain and disclose CSAM evidence on court order—crucial because Trump’s 1990s–2000s pageant footage now circulates mainly online.
Fund NCMEC & RAINN’s hotline expansion; RAINN is already backing the bill.
-
What journalists, researchers and everyday citizens can do right now
-
Archive and cross-reference the primary files you already collected (black book, flight logs, docket 1320) on redundant mirrors such as the Internet Archive and Perma.cc; link them whenever you post so readers can verify.
-
Use FOIA: request DHS visa-fraud memos on Trump Model Management (2000-2016), FAA incident reports for the seven logged Trump–Epstein flights, and any FBI 302s created during the 2005 Palm Beach probe.
-
Support outlets that litigate for more disclosure—e.g., the Miami Herald FOIA team whose suit pried loose the Epstein–Acosta NPA. Subscriptions and legal-fund donations move the needle.
-
Contact your representatives with the specific bill numbers above rather than generic outrage; lawmakers track constituent requests by docket.
-
Signal-boost survivor resources rather than unverified rumors: link RAINN (1-800-656-HOPE) and state programs whenever sharing the story.
- Safeguard future elections from undisclosed misconduct
Mandatory release of candidate–owned NDA settlements involving sexual misconduct above $30 k (a draft bill was floated during the 118th Congress but never brought to a vote).
Ethics-in-Candidacy Act (proposed by civic groups in 2024) would tie public campaign financing and debate access to full disclosure of backstage credentials, modelling-agency holdings, and private-aircraft passenger lists going back 20 years.
The takeaway
The evidence already on the public record is sufficient to trigger fresh subpoenas, survivor lawsuits, and targeted rule-makings—if citizens, prosecutors and lawmakers choose to act.
Waiting for a single “smoking-gun” file before moving is a trap; the legal levers above work because the behaviour (voyeurism of minors, abusive visa contracts) is already admitted or corroborated. Focus on enforcing the laws that exist, fixing the ones that don’t, and keeping every document in daylight so the window for accountability stays open until justice is finally done.
If only there was a list…
She really did?
Fellas we’d better be careful because I think this Ghislaine lady might be a liar!
She’s a Maxwell. Epstein would have been her accomplice.
She’s a convicted child sex trafficker, but I’m sure telling a lie is a line she just wouldn’t cross!
And surprise everyone on the list is a Trump enemy. Fucking clown. If MAGA buys this, there is truly no hope for them. All this dissent in MAGA-land recently got my hopes up.
If MAGA buys this, there is truly no hope for them.
If? - like it’s even a question.
This? - They swallowed everything else so far. why stop now?
Hope? - They are beyond redemption.

No man can walk so long in the Shadow that he cannot come again to the Light.

Is she gonna go back to her Reddit account now?
A person who had no qualms about child sex trafficking will have none whatsoever for just repeating the list of names given to her for a pardon.
I wonder if that’s what was contained in the box she magically appeared with when they dropped her back off at the prison. Dossiers on Trump’s enemies to study and remember before they parade her in front of cameras to “spill the beans.”
it takes time to get acquainted with hundred names
The woman who was hit with two perjury charges and has every reason in the world to lie to get her sentence reduced or eliminated is definitely telling the truth folks.
Night of Long Knives 2025?
Hitler would then go on to label himself “the administrator of justice of the German people”
I was reading up on that and saw this quote. Let’s try the 2025 version on for size.
Trump (Vance?) would then go on to label himself “the administerder of justice of the American people”
Yep, right on cue. Shivers down the spine.
Why the heck is he always titled “financier”, while he was just a kid-rapist. It’s not your “job” that defines you goddammit.
It’s because that was his day job. Somehow. It’s what provided the means for his hobby of diddling kids.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Epstein
He never finished his college degree, and after dropping out ended up teaching math at a private high school. He got fired for performance issues (and perhaps getting a bit too close to his students), but had made friends with one of the parents of a kid at the school, who happened to be an executive at Bear Stearns. He got a job trading options, and eventually spun that out into his own consultency, where he made more money than he (or anyone) really deserved to. He seems to be a chronic failure, but knew enough key people so that he could always fail upwards.
There are a lot of really weird coincidences from his early career, though: that High School was run by Bill Barr’s dad, Donald. (yes, that Bill Barr, who was Trump’s AG at the time Jeffrey Epstein “killed himself” in jail.) And Donald Barr actually wrote a trashy sci-fi novel in the early 70s in which sex trafficking of teenagers is a key plot point. Enough coincidences to keep conspiracy theorists going for decades.
Maybe “financier” is just a fancy word for “kid-rapist”?
Don’t think so. To limited. Most financiers will fuck over anyone and anything for just one dollar more.

What the…as a non-US, to me, this clown was just a joke, but if all this stuff is real: how the ducking duck could such a piece of disgusting shit become your prez? AGAIN? I can’t even…
“Elon knows those voting machines so well!” - Trump on inauguration day.
That’d explain the second time, but not the first
Sadly it’s a Highly Functional Kleptocracy.
Well, given our low voter turnouts…
Roughly 1/3 of our population is so stupid and hateful that they would rather have a President that hurts people they don’t like, than uh… anything else.
I feel like a lot of non US people really do not fully comprehend the level of just literal hatred that fuels many Americans, as well as how common it is to be extremely charismatically performative in a massively hypocritical way, in just every aspect of life.
We are a country of adults that read at an average of a 6th grade level, with astonishing levels of religious extremism and cults (compared to other countries with similar levels of economic development), who are aware our society is collapsing, but are largely too stupid to even understand why.
We were sold the lie of American Exceptionalism, were indoctrinated into it as a sort of secular cult, it is now apparent this is/was all a lie, and people are (have been) essentially having a kind of mass psychosis in terms of how they handle this revalation.
Our systems are massively corrupt, they’ve been incrementally corrupting for decades, but the effect has been snowballing.
A few people and groups would pop up from time to time and point this out, and push for a specific, meaningful reform to actually stymie this at a systemic level, and they would be crushed by both corporate and political PR campaigns, but also just a general sense of ‘you are overreacting and hysterical’ in the broad population, that came from that smug security of the American Exceptionalism ethos.
Basically, we are largely a nation of incurious, brutish, overconfident, malignant narcissists, who revel in biased reasoning ortiented toward justifying an already held belief, who are often already taught from a young age to evaluate the world with the irrational magical thinking of religious cults, which normalizes cognitive dissonance and conspiracism, which then leads to the present outcome you correctly find to be so absurd.
Because their whole system is a circus filled with clowns like him. If this happened in any other country, the president would be fighting for his life.
mass hysteria/delusion similar to Germany in the 1930s
He didn’t get elected, they rigged the election. He won ALL the battleground states? That stretches credulity wildly.
Supposedly there were MILLIONS of people who voted a straight Democratic ticket, but with Trump at the top, and they put him over the top. However, I’ve never met or read any statements from a single one of those alleged voters, not one. Both Dems and MAGAs claim the election was fair & square, so who are these split voters? Where are they? Produce five of them. For that matter, produce just one.
They don’t exist. The election was rigged.
But rigged? Two fucking times? Why even vote at all
He’s the bestest and brightest america has to offer, he is the the perfect embodiment of what it means to be american. Lazy, tat, stupid, ugly, mean, ignorant, and spiteful. The racism and misogyny aren’t bugs they are features
Hmmm… so there’s at least 100 dems on the list huh.
So I’m guessing there’s at least 200 repubes on there.
There’ll be a couple of R’s on her list, but they’ll either be dead or no longer in power.
From what it sounded like they asked her names. Not she gave them. So either A it was the legitimate list they were just saying didn’t exist, or B. they asked names that they wanted answers too. Being they fired anyone they wanted, the people asking the questions… Intended to get those specific people investigated further.
“Is Bill Clinton on the list?” “Yes” “Is Obama on the list?” “No” “Are you sure?” “I’m sure” “I’ll ask you one more time…”
Probably what happened 🤷
If this is the case, it really makes you wonder why this hasn’t been done at any point in the past already.
Not sure, but either A. it’s nefarious as most of us expect, or B. There was never a pardon on the table.
I expect a bit of A and B
I would bet they have the “non existent” list & were trying to get her to confirm their hit list… Then they can say “These names were confirmed” even though those were the only ones they asked about.
repubes
truthpube.social?
Do people think that Epstein and Maxwell actually ran the organisation, rather than just being the sales people?
Follow the money…
I don’t think anything released at this point will be believed. Trump will more tha likely remove himself, so it’s possible that he would also just have Maxwell add names he wanted.
I take that back. His base will believe anything as long as SOMETHING is released.
100%. They don’t want truth, they want blood
