Speaker 3 (0:00) Donald Trump's dark past continues to surface as a key witness to the Trump regime's involvement with Epstein and cover-up of the Epstein files sadly has been found dead. Former British banker and whistleblower Simon Andres, 57 years old, purportedly died by suicide. He was responsible for being the key whistleblower exposing U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's past links to Jeffrey Epstein, including evidence of a 2018 email exchange about a startup business. Now, Simon Andres was a executive in a company that was controlled by Lutnick. And after leaving that company, he became a critical whistleblower. He was featured on the BBC regarding being a whistleblower regarding Lutnick and the Trump regime. He has now been found dead. More on that in a moment. This also comes at a time where the Trump regime has been frantically making filings in connection with the Midas Touch host Katie Fang's lawsuit under the Epstein Files Transparency Act against Todd Blanch and the Trump regime, where a federal judge, Judge Sullivan, ordered the Trump regime and Todd Blanche to turn over documents that they are refusing to disclose. The Trump regime took out an emergency appeal to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals and separately when federal judge Sullivan, a Washington, D.C. federal judge. ordered that the Trump regime produce their administrative record regarding how they complied or did not comply with the Epstein Transparency Act. rather than comply with the October 1st deadline that was set by federal Judge Sullivan on the deadline date, the Trump regime filed in an emergency fashion, frankly, a motion to dismiss Katie Fang's lawsuit, saying she doesn't have standing, that the Midas Touch Network does not have standing under the Epstein Transparency Act in order to get these documents. And then the Trump regime said, given that we filed this motion to dismiss, also called a motion for judgment on the pleadings, we don't think we have to turn over. any administrative record regarding whether we complied or didn't comply with the Epstein Transparency Act, an actual law that was signed by Donald Trump. And then the Trump regime said what Katie Fang should have done was bring a FOIA action. And perhaps then we would have complied if she made her claim not as a lawsuit under the Epstein Transparency Act, but as a Freedom of Information Act request. However, Democracy Defenders Fund and other groups made FOIA requests and surprise, surprise, the Trump regime refused to turn over documents in response to FOIA. They cited every FOIA exception and exemption under the sun and said, we're not going to produce anything. And they did not prepare an administrative record there. And some of the key documents that Judge Sullivan ordered the Trump regime to turn over in connection with a preliminary injunction. that was awarded to Katie Fang, documents regarding foreign text and foreign emails and foreign communications in the Epstein files. The FBI 302 report notes regarding allegations by a minor against Donald Trump. Trump denies the allegations, but turn over the notes. Additionally, the Trump regime made numerous redactions of people. who they claim to be victims, but they appear to be perpetrators. And so Judge Sullivan ordered the Trump regime, let me see if these people are actually victims or if you're actually covering up co-conspirators, to which the Trump regime was like, now we're not going to show you. We're going to appeal. Katie Fang doesn't have standing, should have done a FOIA request. Well, people did do a FOIA request also, and you're still not turning over that material. And also, Judge Sullivan said the Trump regime, turn over your redaction log or your privilege log of all of the other documents you're withholding because you're clearly not turning over foreign language documents, 302 report notes, these other redacted documents. So let's see how many other documents there are. We believe there's probably 5 million documents. that have multiple pages. So we could be talking about 30 million, 40 million, 50 million pages that are still being concealed by the Trump regime. Folks, the Trump regime is covering up a child sex trafficking ring in plain view for everybody to see. I don't care what political party you're from. This should be absolutely disgusting and revolting and it's happening at the highest level. of the Trump regime. So let's get back to the story of the former British banker and whistleblower, Simon Andres, 57 years old. He purportedly just died by suicide and he
