Breaking down the Jane Doe 4 case out of South Carolina. It’s my belief this case will become much more important in the coming days. If you want to read more about this case, you can find articles at the Post and Courier or you can read my piece on the case:

For a chubby guy, Trump runs a lot.
And right now that means Jane Doe 4, running, and hiding from the evidence in the Epstein Files that includes accusations of sexually abusing a 13-year-old child. If innocent, why not hand America those files? After all, he who has nothing to hide, hides nothing. And yet those 37 pages are still missing.
So unless Todd Blanche hands us a stack of documents with a big red bow tonight at 11:59pm, he will have, yet again, violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act and defied Katie Phang’s lawsuit. While I’m an optimistic person by nature, I’m hanging on by a thread here, guys.
You can read more about the powerful story of Jane Doe 4 and her missing files here:

Thanks everyone for joining in as we continue to read through Virginia Giuffre’s deposition from her 2016 defamation civil suit against Ghislaine Maxwell. If you would like to read the whole transcript, you can do that here.
A couple of things were mentioned in this section of the deposition, namely Virginia’s parents, who sent her to live with an aunt and uncle in California when she was 11 years old. Virginia doesn’t go into detail here, but the relationship she had with her father, and the story of his friend “Forest Jones,” is very dark, and foreshadows the abuse she would suffer at the hands of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. If you would like to read that story, which includes triggers for sexual abuse, you can click the link below.
Virginia also mentioned the first time she was sex-trafficked to a man named Ron Eppinger. He a notorious operator of a South Florida international prostitution ring in the late 1990s, which brought in girls from Eastern Europe with the promise of modeling jobs (sound familiar?). In 2001 he pled guilty to smuggling immigrations into the U.S. for prostitution, money laundering, and other prostitution offenses. He was sentenced to 21 months in jail, was released, and died in 2006. You can read his court case here.

Thank you everyone who took the time to listen to some of the threats facing journalists as we inch closer and closer to solving the crimes coming from the Trump Administration and the Epstein class.
As mentioned, if you see online harassment, threats, or intimidation, you should always report it right away, either to the platform where they are posted, or if it is a continuing problem, you can report to the FBI Cyber Crimes Division at the following link:

I had to do a brain dump, because the man who has been threatening me online involved my daughter tonight. I’m reporting him to the full extent of the law, but I also want you to know what the last few weeks have been like for me and for my family. I’ve blocked him everywhere, but he sees everything I say and do, and will inevitably see this too.
So thank you for everyone who has stood up for me, it means a lot. This isn’t uncommon among journalists, but is seeping into the independent journalism community. And it’s terrifying.

Thanks everyone for joining me as we continue to read from the Epstein Files. As Liz Oyer announced on her Substack and YouTube, Todd Blanche was quietly given the “tremendous power” to punish political enemies and reward friends, giving prisoners the option to “buy up” in the federal prison system. We likely saw this with Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to Bryan Prison Camp in Texas last August, following her proffer with Blanche.
Because Maxwell is likely running the show, and will either be offered a pardon by the Trump Administration, or the opportunity to turn state’s witness if the House and Senate flip in the midterms, I want to focus in on her crimes and make it abundantly clear: Ghislaine Maxwell is a child sex trafficker and abuser.I will continue to read Virginia’s testimony from the 2016 civil case against Maxwell, which lays out the crimes against her and other victims of the Epstein.If you would like to read Virginia’s full deposition, you can do that here.
Today’s opportunity to help is the Sexual Violence Center in Minneapolis, MN. If you would like to donate to the Center and help provide victims of sexual violence with vital resources and opportunities, you can do that here.
