Republican Nancy Mace wants the video and audio of Epstein CCTV cameras released. She has also sent a letter demanding the unredacted copy of a charging document by SDNY in 2019 regarding the co-conspirators of Epstein m As the Department of Justice continues releasing millions of pages from the Jeffrey Epstein files, one question has emerged as perhaps the most persistent—and the most unsettling: Where is all the video? 'Where Are ALL the Videos?' Rep. Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican who has become one of the most vocal advocates for Epstein transparency, posed the question directly on February 15, 2026: "Where is ALL the audio and ALL the video from ALL the pinhole cameras at ALL the Epstein properties?" The question isn't speculation. Evidence has mounted for years that Epstein's properties were equipped with extensive, often hidden, surveillance systems. Yet according to Mace, the released materials include only about 2,000 video clips—a number she says defies logic given what's known about Epstein's operation . What We Know About Epstein's Cameras The documentary evidence is substantial. In February 2014, Epstein emailed his longtime pilot Larry Visoski asking him to purchase "three motion-detected hidden cameras." Visoski replied that he had already obtained the equipment, noting they could record for 64 hours and adding a chilling detail: "I'm installing them into Kleenex boxes now" . That same day, Epstein received an email from an individual warning: "if you want to put cameras in the house. It will have to be very discreetly done. The Russians may come in handy" . Further evidence emerged from credit card statements showing two February 2014 transactions at RNMC, a Fort Lauderdale surveillance store specializing in "camera installation, bug sweeping, and private investigation work," totaling more than $1,000 . Earlier Discoveries The 2014 purchases weren't the first indication of surveillance. In 2005, when Palm Beach police investigated Epstein for rape and sexual abuse of girls, detectives searched his mansion and "located two covert cameras" hidden inside clocks—one in the garage, another beside his desk . Detective Jo Recarey later described finding footage captured by a motion-activated clock camera near Epstein's desk, showing images of Epstein and individuals whose identities remain protected . The Contradiction The presence of these cameras conflicts with what federal officials have said. In March 2019, prosecutors in Manhattan provided FBI officials with a description of evidence recovered from Epstein's properties, stating that "there were no cameras found inside any bedrooms or living areas of either residence"—only near entryways . Ghislaine Maxwell has also denied knowledge of any "inappropriate video surveillance," telling Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche that while she hired electricians for Epstein's properties, she was unaware of secret recording systems What's Been Released Among the more than 3.5 million pages made public since January 2026, approximately 2,000 videos have been included. Some newly released footage appears to show Epstein recording himself in his Palm Beach living room, captured by a camera hidden inside a carriage clock . But Mace argues this is merely a fraction of what should exist. "If he had as many cameras as has been reported, there would be far more than 2,000 videos," she posted on X. "Trust me on this. I know, because I've worked with an extensive number of victims in voyeurism cases" . What Victims Have Said Multiple survivors have described being filmed. Marie Farmer, who says Epstein and Maxwell sexually assaulted her in 1996, recalled a "media room" inside the New York property with numerous TVs displaying feeds from cameras in bedrooms and bathrooms. "I asked him: 'What do you do with all this,'" Farmer said. "And he said: 'I keep it all in my safe'" . A source familiar with the investigation previously revealed: "Epstein kept a treasure trove of information on his famous friends. He knew it would provide an insurance policy should anything happen" . The Missing Pieces Mace's broader concern extends beyond video. She has also questioned where logs are from the receptionist station at Epstein's New York home—documentation that reportedly tracked "underage children and people in power coming and going" . During visits to the DOJ to review unredacted files, Mace said she was unable to view "critical information" and that key documents "are missing or still redacted" . She has since compiled a list of names she intends to subpoena, calling it "a longer list than I had anticipated" . The Larger Question For Mace and other transparency advocates, the missing footage represents more than an evidentiary gap—it raises questions about what, or who, is being protected. "I want to be abundantly clear about the DOJ memo released tonight: Citing 'Work Product Privilege' will NOT save the DOJ from releasing all the Epstein files," Mace wrote. "I'm not an attorney and even I know this won't hold up in a court of law" . The implications are profound. If Epstein did systematically record his powerful guests, the footage could implicate figures across politics, business, and international circles. Its absence from the public record inevitably invites suspicion about what remains hidden—and why. As Mace put it in an interview with Piers Morgan: "You would be shocked [at] some of the names that I have seen that came across in emails that the DOJ is protecting." She described the redactions as "one of the greatest cover-ups in American history" . For now, the question Mace posed on February 15 remains unanswered: Where is all the audio and all the video from all the pinhole cameras at all the Epstein properties? #EpsteinFiles #viral #fblifestyles Exactly what I've been demanding. FBI raided all Epstein properties and nothing was ever heard from it regarding the footage. FBI took Anthony Weiners laptop with 700,000 Clinton emails and that was the end. It's said to have done grotesque videos . FBI had previous said CCTV footage outside Epstein cell was missing FBI had identified J6 pipe bomber and refused to identify him. FBI has refused to identify antifa rioters in Jan 6 protests . FBI sat on Hunter Biden laptop which would have shown Trump had every reason to demand Biden be investigated over Ukraine missing billions of aid money,They sat on exculpatory evidence that would have stopped the impeachment immediately. FBI was a criminal organization under Cris Wray and his stooges are still running key departments. Needs fumigation.

Obrigardo..Did Epstein introduce Melania to Donald Trump. Google AI. Donald Trump and Melania Knauss first met in 1998 at a New York Fashion Week party. The meeting took place at the Kit Kat Club during an event hosted by modeling agent Paolo Zampolli. Although Trump arrived with another date—Norwegian heiress Celina Midelfart—he approached Melania to ask for her phone number. Key Details of Their First Meeting: The Exchange: Melania initially refused to give Trump her number because he was with another woman. Instead, she asked for his number to see which one he would provide (office vs. personal). The Response: Trump reportedly gave her all of his numbers, including his office, Mar-a-Lago, and New York home. First Date: After Melania called him a few days later, their first official date was dinner followed by a night at the celebrity hotspot Moomba. Relationship Timeline: The couple dated on and off for several years before Trump proposed at the Met Gala in 2004. They were married on January 22, 2005, in Palm Beach, Florida. Zampolli and Epstein were friends and business associates though. Who you believe ? |

Former liberal now republican. Hesitated to date her husband at first because he was republican. 🚨 Former liberal GOES OFF on why she can’t stand them anymore: "My intolerance for liberals is simply due to the fact that I used to be one. And dealing with people who are still in the same mindset that I was back in the timeframe when I was highly emotional, self-victimized myself, and lacked logic in pretty much anything that I ever did, is exceptionally frustrating. Because now that I'm somebody who's on the other end of it and now know how to take accountability for my own actions, my own thought processes, it's so annoying and so frustrating communicating with people who refuse to do just that. Like I was the person back when Trump first got elected that was like, oh my God, the world's gonna end. Oh my God, Donald Trump isn't even a politician. I knew nothing about politics. I just knew exactly what I was hearing from my friends, my coworkers, the TV. I just knew that if you were considered a Republican, you were racist. Even if you had never made a racial statement ever in your life. Even if you were a person of color, like I genuinely believed if you were a person of color, you were automatically Democrat. Now, granted, at the time I lived on the East Coast, which in Maryland, which is a very, very, very blue state. So pretty much everybody around was also a Democrat. I mean, hell, when I met my husband and my husband's a Republican, we met outside of DC where we both live. And I almost didn't date my husband because I found out that he was a Republican. Like it was like a really big deal. That's how bleeped up I was. And it wasn't until I moved to Texas and crazy enough had conversations with two people who were not white, who were both Republican. One was a former boss of mine who was black. And the other one was a girl who I used to work with in an older job that I have in a different department who was Latina. And she was legally here. She had actually come across the border with her family legally. And she was a huge Trump supporter. After meeting those two people, I was like, oh, but you're, you're black and you're Latina. Why would you vote for Trump? He's racist. And having them both look at me and be like, what are you, what are you talking about? At that point, I then started to open my eyes to the fact of, oh, you can actually be a fan of Trump and be a Republican and not be white. Like that thought had never crossed my mind before. And the only reason was because when I lived in Maryland and I grew up, like you are so ingrained and brainwashed to believe that Trump and any really any Republican is scary and racist and homophobic and transphobic. It's just the rhetoric that floats around in your brain all day long, that's what everybody else is telling you. And because you live in an echo chamber of people who are just stating the exact same thing, you never envisioned that life outside of that echo chamber actually exists. And also there were just a lot of things that happened in 2020 that really started waking me up and how I was treated. And I was kind of starting to go through the wake up process and question things that really started to push my journey to the other side. But now that I am here, I can just tell you, it is so frustrating communicating with people who are still in that mindset, especially when it comes to self-victimization. Oh, I could do a whole series about that. But yeah, that's why I hate most liberals." Ill be glad to post a democrat former republican and compare . If I get a good story. |

THE OBAMA-EPSTEIN VORTEX Obama keeps a tight inner circle of confidantes, those who do his dirty work (think Russia Collusion and Election Interference), and some in Obama's Circle were tightly associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Here are three that we currently know about: (1) Kathy Ruemmler. One of the most powerful lawyers in the country you never heard about until recently. For most of her career, though, Ruemmler was as much consigliore as lawyer, one of the best "fixers" you could hire, IF you could hire her. Because back then, Ruemmler had a small and very select elite clientele of powerful people that included Jeffrey Epstein with whom she had a years-long professional and social relationship, including years after his 2008 p*dophiIe conviction. And Barack Obama persuaded Ruemmler to be his White House Counsel where she acted as one of his closest advisers and friends. So why does Obama have a close friend and advisor who is also the close friend of a convicted chiId rapist? (2) Harvey Weinstein. Hollywood's elite power broker, Weinstein was also a close friend of Jeffrey Epstein, including long after the 2008 conviction. And when he came into office, President Obama sought and developed a close friendship with Weinstein. That relationship ended only when #MeToo publicly exposed Weinstein and his worst-kept-secret-in-Hollywood habit of assaulting women. ** Obama first daughter Gsp Year internship ~ 5 months was at Harvey Weinstein Company ** (3) Larry Summers. Ivy League guru Summers also had a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, and one that was publicly known when Obama picked him as his top Economic Adviser and eventual friend. Summers is also the correspondent with Epstein in the now-famous February 2017 email in which Epstein is dishing dirt on Trump. But look at this timing: This email exchange is just days after Trump's first inauguration when the Democrat Party - still controlled by Barack Obama and still reeling from losing the election - has pledged to resist and undermine Trump's presidency. And what is happening? Obama's close friend/adviser Summers is soliciting dirt on Trump from Summers’ other close friend Epstein. See how that works? See the value of having such intersecting associations? Why is all this important? At that extreme level of power held by President Obama, you cautiously pick your friends and confidantes, and you are highly cognizant of the value each brings to the table. So why did Obama's small circle include at least three major players also in Epstein's small circle? Each of these three were extremely powerful and influential within their specialties. Each had enormous influence. It defies credibility to think this was all accidental or coincidental. Many commentators have observed that Epstein's world revolved as much around power-brokering as trafficking. Obama was far too shrewd to have any direct relationship with Epstein, yet his small inner circle intersected deeply with Epstein's small inner circle. That wasn’t serendipitous. To what purpose then? Did Epstein provide dirt on powerful people that Obama used to leverage his own power? Is that why Epstein spent the entire eight years of the Obama presidency operating unmoIested despite his Federal conviction just months before Obama took office, only to be arrested and charged once Trump took office? There's a LOT we don't know yet. But one thing is certain - there are no "coincidences" at this high level.

We are basically at a point now where the entire Democrat narrative around Epstein Files has collapsed. First off, the two biggest names to go down are very plugged in Democrats — Barack Obama’s White House counsel Kathy Ruemmler and Democrat megadonor Casey Wasserman. Secondly, the files have exposed how much of a scumbag we all knew Reid Hoffman to be. Thirdly, the Clintons have all sorts of legal exposure too and are being forced to testify before Congress or face contempt — astonishing for a former president and a former presidential nominee/secretary of state/senator/First Lady. Fourthly, Ro Khanna clearly abused the speech and debate clause of the Constitution to falsely accuse four people of wrongdoing here and he is under serious criticism. Fifthly, the cherry on top: they have revealed that President Trump called the cops on Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell way earlier than people realized thereby confirming the president’s story on how he cut them off very early before Epstein even faced serious liability legally. Sure there have been some embarrassments for Trumpworld in there — Lutnick stuff for instance — but this is overall shaping out to be a massive loss for the Dems and establishment media. Obrigardo:

Epstein sources if wealth. Epstein’s Wealth Origins: Over $800 Million in “Consulting Fees” from Billionaires – 2026 Files Uncover Southern Trust and Financial Trust Networks Imagine a shadowy financier, already notorious for his crimes, quietly amassing a fortune that rivals some of the world's richest—yet his "business" looks more like a black box than legitimate finance. The 2026 Department of Justice files—millions of pages exposing hidden contracts and financial trails—now reveal the core of Jeffrey Epstein's wealth: his U.S. Virgin Islands-based entities, Financial Trust Company and Southern Trust Company, raked in over $800 million in revenue from 1999 to 2018. This included roughly $488 million in "consulting fees" from ultra-wealthy clients for supposed estate planning, tax strategies, and strategic advice—plus hundreds of millions more in dividends and investment gains. Key billionaire payers like Les Wexner and Leon Black funneled massive sums, with experts calling the fees suspiciously inflated. Southern Trust, in particular, became Epstein's primary money machine after 2011, benefiting from generous Virgin Islands tax breaks that saved him an estimated $300 million. What these documents truly expose is a network of opaque trusts and high-premium deals that shielded Epstein's riches—and perhaps much more—while his dark world operated in plain sight. The puzzle of his unexplained empire sharpens with every page released. 👉 The story is still unfolding… https://newsusaudi.com/epsteins-wealth-origins-over-800-million-in-consulting-fees-from-billionaires-2026-files-uncover-southern-trust-and-financial-trust-networks-l/ Epstein Zorro Ranch also won an $80 million lottery in New Mexico circa 2008. 🚨JUST IN: Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Trust allegedly “randomly” wins an $80 MILLION lottery in New Mexico?

We’re told lotteries are pure chance, Yet: • The state runs them • The state profits from them • Drawings happen behind closed systems
