Author Nick Bryant, the first to publish Jeffrey Epstein’s little black book, joins CN Live! at 8pm EDT on Saturday night, to discuss the DOJ’s attempt to close the Epstein case.
Season 7 episode 4 of CN Live!
An Axios report revealed on Sunday that the Justice Department and F.B.I. have concluded they have no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein, the infamous sex-trafficker of underage girls who died while in prison had blackmailed powerful figures, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo obtained by the outlet.
The DOJ and F.B.I. say in the memo that no “further disclosure” of Epstein-related material “would be appropriate or warranted.” The memo claims that the conclusion comes after an “exhaustive review” of “300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence,” which the document states “did not expose any additional third-parties to allegations of illegal wrongdoing” despite Epstein abusing “over one thousand victims,” the memo says.
The document continues: “There was also no credible evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions. We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties.” All this while they admit Epstein abused over 1,000 victims.
We are then supposed to believe that all of the evidence collected showed only Epstein himself, or was unrelated child pornography that Epstein had downloaded for his personal use. We are supposed to accept that despite having wired entire residences for surveillance, none of the available evidence shows another person involved in activity worth prosecuting.
Epstein’s co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of charges relating to sex trafficking minors, for which she was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The memo also discounts skepticism regarding Epstein’s death, and provides a link to a video published by the Justice Department showing over 11 hours of footage on the day Epstein died, with no one entering his cell during that time. It does not show Epstein’s body being removed, and there appears to be one minute missing from the released footage.
Trump responded defensively to questions about Epstein’s links with intelligence agencies in the wake of the memo’s release, saying: “Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy’s been talked about for years… Are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable.”
Elon Musk previously accused Trump of being in the Epstein files.
The news has split the right wing, with some expressing outrage, while others – particularly Trump’s ardent Israel supporters – echoed Trump’s sentiments, with voices like Ben Shapiro telling their followers to “get over it.”
Joining us to discuss these developments is investigative journalist and author Nick Bryant, who was the first to publish Epstein’s little black book, and who wrote The Franklin Scandal. He is the host of the Nick Bryant podcast and the Director of Epstein Justice at EpsteinJustice.com .
Hosts: Elizabeth Vos and Joe Lauria. Producer: Cathy Vogan.

Another terrific consortium news interview!
I can understand why the author feels like the American people are very naive about blackmail. But i also wonder how he thinks that a majority of the congress could get on board with his plan. If the blackmailers have that much power, which I think they do, then it strikes me that they wouldn’t stop at controlling less, then half of the congress.
Bibi netanyahu, while having an international arrest warrant on his head, received many standing ovations in the u.S congress.
I wish this author the best of luck with his project and I will join his website. But I’m afraid that most of Congress would be implicated in a real investigation of this sort of thing. And so i’m afraid that most of them would not support this effort. But of course it’s worth a try.

Yet another enlightening interview. I never realised the extent of this cover up. What an extraordinarily perverted group of people. Animals are better than humans.
“Oh! what a tangled web we weave
When first we practise to deceive!”
Sir Walter Scott from his epic poem “Marmion”.
July 6, 2025,“The Justice Department and F.B.I. have concluded they have no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein, kept a “client list” or was murdered, according to a memo obtained by the outlet.“
…… “Where was the body found? Who found the dead body? Was the dead body dead when found? How was the dead body found? Who was the dead body? Who was the father or daughter or brother or uncle or sister or mother or son of the dead and abandoned body? Was the body dead when abandoned? Was the body abandoned? By whom had it been abandoned? Was the dead body naked or dressed for a journey?” “Death” by Harold Pinter.
Whaddabout” the “read” on the 1993 Cover-Up, “WHO asked Tara Reade to “hand-deliver” Joe Biden’s gym bag to Joe Biden, AFTER hours, in an EMPTY Senate hallway?”
……. Everybody, knows, thirty-two (32) YEARS, ago, 1993, Tara Reade was asked to bring Jo$eph R. Biden, his gym bag, after hours, in 1993. It was a total “sea change.” Little did she, Tara Reade, a minnow, know, she was “swimming w/the $hark,” Jo$eph “The Big Guy”Biden. That “After Hours” delivery resulted in, Tara Reade vs. Joe Biden, “An allegation of sexual assault, claiming Biden digitally penetrated her in an empty Senate hallway when she was asked to bring him a gym bag, in 1993.”
……* “Biden had an assistant, Terry Wright, who handled personal errands for him. He “was the person who schlepped [the $enator’s] bags around and accompanied him on the train and made sure that he was where he needed to be at the right time. That was his job. So why would someone else do Terry’s job?” said Melissa Lefko, who served as a staff assistant in the office from August 1992 to August 1993.”
Thirty-two (32) YEARS, later, Jo$eph R. Biden, X-POTUS, #46, “Genocide Joe” was shuffled, shielded, diapered, back into REHABoth, still denying, lying, never owning up to his past & present perversions. Awh; BUT, the demented, truth challenged, grabby, dirty old, political corpse, posed as POTUS, masqueraded as human, asked the National Archives & the Senate to [RELEASE] any complaints from Reade that exist.” Search, “Who asked Tara Reade to bring Joe Biden’s gym bag to an empty $enate hallway?” The result is a plethora of propaganda, character assassinations, denials, lies, cover-up.
Awh, the “Exceptional” American President’s life, “$treamed” via “Sex. Lies & Videotapes.” To date, Joe Biden “lives free” from accountability. Like POTUS’ 42-47 do. However, by popular demand, #47, “got” a Do-Over. It’s the American Eagle’s transformation into a “Smelly Cat,” burnt-orange, rock’n “cotton-candy hair, sprayed w/piss;” Live-Streamed, 24/7.
“It is what it is,” Trump’s-Vance’s, Inc., a burnt-orange, White House of Voodoo. No one’s trumping DJ “the Big $hot’s “Fired-Up, Ready to Go” lunacy. W/fingers crossed, here’s to “CN Live! — Epstein Justice?“ CN Live, hosting Author Nick Bryant. Word is, “BRYANT’S “got” this, “An Ace in The Hole!” “Everybody, one. Everybody, two. Everybody, FREE!” TY.
* “cotton-candy hair, sprayed w/piss;” Chris Hedges’ friend’s SFO “words” about DJ “the Big $hot’s” Trump’s “hair”doo.
“There’s got to be a victory. There’s got to be victories. A turning point, where “we” win; &, “they” lose. JOE LAURIA
“In the Nick of Time,” we “got” another “Victory.” Once, again, “Pop the Cork!!!” Be it bubbly, beer or water, raise your glass, in honor of another Big ”WIN!” i.e., CN Live & Nick Bryant – Epstein Justice?” 100% SOLID.
“In today’s “Flower” Shops aka “Weed” Stores, “Epstein Justice” wld be the Strain; “Nick it in the Bud” its name. Top Shelf!!! “Truth be told” Epstein Justice dot com could, would, should be the people “force” that “influences, stretches, pulls; &, puts pressure on” US $enators to flip the BBB i.e., BB’s B*tch of the West’s wicked, warped, sex traffickers to rest. Indeed, NICK BRYANT’S “got” this, “An Ace in The Hole,” Epstein Justice dot com! All inclusive.
My country is not free; &, in this land of misery, this conversation is absophknlutely, INSPIRING! TY. “Keep It Lit.”
Remember when Theresa May admitted to the UK media she’d ‘accidentally’ deleted all the damning evidence related to the ‘Westminster Pedophile Scandal’ and the hundreds of MP’s and other VIP’s allegedly involved’?
hxxps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-the-papers-28180937
Remember when she then stood up in an internal* investigation and proudly declared that there was ‘no evidence at all’ of MP’s ever having been engaged in crimes against children’? Well, obviously, at best she must have simply forgot about the previously disgraced MP Cyril Smith, for one, to be able to claim “no MP ever”, but I digress.
If the Westminster Scandal was truly nothing, then the government’s actions only made them look guilty as hell. But we’ll never know in any legal and actionable sense, conveniently some would say, because only civil servants are allowed to investigate civil servants for ‘wrongdoing’.
This similar but more disturbingly audacious gaslighting by the US, to declare things people have already seen and touched as absurdly now non-existent, is just another ‘We deleted the evidence so there’s no crime’ attempt at whitewashing, albeit a more puerile example, by a group of seemingly like-minded elites that have all but become indistiguishable from the tyrants, despots and other monsters we as children were rightly warned about from within the pages of every. single. history book.
Human sex trafficking is one of the biggest and most profitable businesses to ever exist.
I would be far more shocked to find out the UK & US governments DIDN’T have their already filthy and blood-soaked tendrils deep into anything so lucrative considering their incredibly long histories of doing exactly that.
*The UK government had not long beforehand altered the law to put a permanent end to independent, public inquiries into all government ‘misdeeds’, deciding instead that only the (accused) government is capable of looking into accusations made against it…as clearly, only the guilty would ever do.
With the release of the DOJ report, Donald Trump officially becomes a member in good standing of the Washington D.C.swamp. The same swamp that he was elected to drain. Who most benefits from the cover up ? Certainly hundreds of individuals who will escape prosecution. But I think the really big winners are the Israeli spy agency and “our” CIA. Once again, these two rogue outfits are going to be able to keep their dirty secrets hidden.
Excellent! Nick Bryant should be heard from coast to coast, unfettered. He’s a lighthouse of info we have to pass on.
Some political scandals are simply too large and too obvious to cover up forever.
The Epstein Files coverup scandal is precisely such an unavoidable criminal disgrace.
What does the NSA know?
We’ve known since Mr. Snowden that the NSA has the goal of “Collect Everything”. So, what did they collect? Did Epstein and Friends conduct all their business off-line and only by speaking face to face in a bug-swept room? Or did they chat and text on their cell phones like one would expect from rich people who can afford the unlimited plans? What did the NSA Collect?
And of course, in the Land of the Free, the government closely watches all money transactions to find and fight all sorts of crimes, such as terrorism, child pornography and money laundering. Is that data in the Treasury Dept? What do they know? This is DOJ doing its Sergeant Schultz impersonation saying “We Know Nothing”, but frequently a part of the deceit can be that what was known was not in their balley-wick so later they claim they were not lying when they said “We Heard Nothing” and “We Saw Nothing.”
If you want to try to tell me that a rich New Yorker living that life style as an international jet setter “left nothing behind but his footprints.”, well, come up with a better story than that. Although, I guess its a part of the extreme privilege, in that they don’t even seem to have to think up a convincing story these days.
And yet, in America, if a working class man hands a $20 bill to a professional woman on a street corner, that is worth prosecuting to the full extent of the law. After all, we have to keep that “fine” money flowing into the government, and we have to keep the occupancy rates high in the Private Prisons, where the capitalist economics says, like with more voluntary hotels, high occupancy rate equals high profits.
The American Dream once included the Dream of a Class-less society. But, as the philosopher Carlin pointed out, these days, you have to be asleep to believe in it.
I look forward to watching the discussion tomorrow.
A bit late for european viewers. Related to the Epstein fiasco is the suicide of one of the accusers:
