Epstein Files NEWEST, Bondi Replacement WORSE & Israel-Trump Divide WIDENS | Julian Dorey • 404
Julian Dorey · 4 Apr 2026 · 1h 30m
Host: Joey Def, Julian Dorey
This episode is a solo commentary (with off-camera producer Dief) working through fresh Epstein-files material and the ongoing Iran war. The host walks through a 2018 email exchange between Jeffrey Epstein and Obama-era lawyer Kathy Ruemmler, arguing it shows she knew about his abuse of minors while still helping him manage the fallout from the Miami Herald investigation. He then covers reporting on how diamonds and hard drives from Epstein's safe went missing for five days after the 2019 FBI raid before turning up via his accountant Richard Kahn, plus a parallel 2005 episode involving missing computers from the Palm Beach house, and questions whether any of this constitutes evidence tampering or breaches of client privilege. He examines an email chain some have cited as proof Epstein had ties to ISIS, concluding the evidence doesn't hold up, but flags a separate Catherine Herridge report on Epstein advising on delaying 9/11-related lawsuits against Saudi Arabia as more troubling. Attention then shifts to Pam Bondi's ouster as Attorney General, mockery of her and possible successor Todd Blanche's press-conference performances, and criticism of Lee Zeldin's AIPAC-heavy donor base. The back half pivots to the Israel-Iran war, covering firings of top US generals reportedly resistant to a ground invasion, Trump's rhetoric about seizing Iranian oil, ethnic-cleansing allegations against Israel in southern Lebanon, and a downed US plane, with the host arguing coverage of Epstein has been drowned out by the war's timing.
