Is Kamala Pulling Out of North Carolina?

Vice President Kamala Harris‘s campaign is scaling back its advertising expenditures in North Carolina, pulling a substantial portion of its budget just days before the election. This decision is prompted by polling shifts favoring President Donald J. Trump and Republican gains in early voting numbers.

Advertising analysis firm AdImpact reports that the Harris campaign has withdrawn at least $2 million from an initial $2.7 million spend in North Carolina markets, with Raleigh being the only market retaining her campaign ads. Polls suggest Harris maintains a lead over Trump only in this region.

There is speculation that the Harris campaign could be redeploying their North Carolina resources to neighboring Virginia, where voter surveys indicate the race is tightening. Additionally, a Virginia shift may indicate that Harris is now fighting a rearguard action—hoping to hold the Rust Belt and several “lean” Democrat states that they believe may be slipping towards Trump as the Republican nominee continues to build momentum into Election Day.

Both Harris and Trump are set to hold campaign events in North Carolina before November 5. An Elon University poll recently found both candidates tied at 46 percent among registered voters, while another poll showed Trump with a slight lead. The RealClear Polling average places Trump ahead by one point in North Carolina, outpacing in most battleground states except Michigan.

Republicans are also showing a lead over Democrats in the early voting statistics, with 1,059,258 votes to the Democrats’ 1,024,661. Trump had a narrow victory margin in North Carolina, winning by about 75,000 votes in 2020.

In Virginia, Harris maintains a lead over Trump, although a Rasmussen Reports poll indicates a tight margin of just two points.

Bondi Backs Clinton Email Investigation.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) released documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Announced on Friday, July 15, 2025, during a news conference in Arlington, Virginia.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey’s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State.” – Pam Bondi

🎯IMPACT: The documents provide transparency into the investigation, following long-standing requests for clarity on the matter.

IN FULL

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed on Friday that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has made public a collection of documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server. The disclosure follows repeated appeals from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), who has consistently called for more openness in the investigation.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, Bondi credited Grassley’s persistence and highlighted the Justice Department’s broader mission to uphold transparency.

“Today, the Department of Justice honored Chairman Grassley’s request to release information relating to former-FBI Director James Comey‘s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information during her tenure as Secretary of State. I commend Chairman Grassley for his unwavering, years-long commitment to exposing the truth and holding those who seek to conceal it accountable,” Bondi said.

The timing of the release coincides with renewed questions surrounding Bondi’s office, particularly in relation to how it has managed documents connected to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Of particular note are accusations that several minutes’ worth of footage surrounding the alleged suicide of Epstein is missing from supposedly “raw” surveillance footage from near his cell released by the DOJ and the FBI.

This Western European Country Is Desperate to Rebuild Its Abandoned Bomb Shelters.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Fears of an attack from Russia are prompting Germany to look urgently at replacing air-raid bunkers after shutting down nearly all of its Cold War-era facilities.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: German government, German military (Bundeswehr), Norbert Gebbeken of the University of the Bundeswehr, and Russia.

📍WHEN & WHERE: A report on Germany’s desire for new air raid shelters was published on July 20.

💬KEY QUOTE: “When I ask my friends what their stockpiling situation is… the usual joke is that they have enough red wine to last for a year.” – Tim Stuchtey of the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security

🎯IMPACT: Germany is looking to prepare for what the country’s leadership seems to believe is an inevitable conflict with Russia.

IN FULL

Less than two decades after decommissioning its last air-raid bunkers, Germany is reversing course amid rising fears of a Russian attack. Of the 2,000 bunkers operational during the Cold War, only 580 remain—covering just 480,000 people, or 0.5 percent of the population. Many of those are mostly unusable.

“Maintenance and servicing of civil protection equipment is no longer taking place,” a government spokesman said. The remaining shelters, including those in the capital of Berlin, are “neither functional nor operational.”

Spurred by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Germany has pledged to become “war-ready” by 2029, with military spending set to nearly double. “When I ask my friends what their stockpiling situation is… the usual joke is that they have enough red wine to last for a year,” said Tim Stuchtey of the Brandenburg Institute for Society and Security. “But it’s not enough for the Bundeswehr [military] to be ready. So must the whole of society.”

A 2024 classified plan, Operation Plan Germany, outlines infrastructure protection and NATO troop movement, with bunkers as a key component. “The government must define what it considers the threat to be. And secondly, what should be protected,” said Norbert Gebbeken of the University of the Bundeswehr, Germany’s armed forces. “Neither of these questions has been answered yet.”

Rather than rebuilding vast Cold War bunkers, authorities are identifying basements, garages, and subway stations that can be rapidly reinforced. “The idea is to use existing spaces and reinforce them,” said Gebbeken. “They aren’t entirely improvised. This is what we know from Israel and other places.”

Germany plans to shelter a million civilians by the end of 2026 and scale up. A mobile app is also in development to guide citizens to the nearest shelter and convert private rooms. “By signaling that we are… able and willing to defend our values, we contribute to our deterrent,” said Stuchtey. “We’re basically telling Russia: Don’t even think about it.”

While Germany looks to rearm and become one of the most powerful militaries in Europe, the country has been plagued by equipment shortages and a population that has a largely unfavorable view of service in the armed forces. A 2024 poll showed that less than a third of Germans, 32 percent, were willing to join the armed forces if Germany were attacked by a foreign adversary. A massive 57 percent said they would refuse to serve.

Hunter: Joe’s Disastrous 2024 Debate Caused by Old Age and a Prescription Sedative.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hunter Biden claims his father, former President Joe Biden, may have still been experiencing the effects of the prescription sedative Ambien during his campaign-ending debate performance against President Donald J. Trump in June 2024.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hunter Biden, interviewer Andrew Callaghan, and Joe Biden.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Hunter Biden made the claim during an interview that aired on Monday, July 21, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “I’ll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate. He [Joe Biden] flew around the world basically—the mileage he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old, he’s tired as shit. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.” — Hunter Biden

🎯IMPACT: The former president’s son appeared to confirm that Joe Biden’s disastrous June 2024 debate performance was the result of old age and a prescription sedative.

Hunter Biden revealed his father, former President Joe Biden, may have still been experiencing the effects of the prescription sedative Ambien during his campaign-ending debate performance against President Donald J. Trump in June 2024. The son of the former president made the claim during a lengthy interview with social media personality Andrew Callaghan on his YouTube-hosted Channel 5 talk show.

“I’ll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate. He [Joe Biden] flew around the world basically—the mileage he could have flown around the world three times. He’s 81 years old, he’s tired as shit. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights,” Hunter Biden claims, continuing: “And it feeds into every fucking story that anybody wants to tell. And Jake Tapper—with literally how many anonymous sources… if this was a conspiracy, Andrew, you know this, somehow the entirety of a White House—in which you’re literally living on top of each other—has kept their mouth shut about… you know… like what… what’s the conspiracy? That Joe Biden got old? Yeah, he got old. He got old before our eyes.”


The former president’s son goes on to note that the lack of support from former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) allowed opposition to Biden’s re-election campaign post-debate to fester until he was forced to withdraw. However, importantly, Hunter Biden appears to confirm that his father was not only under the influence of a prescription sedative prior to the June debate, but that old age was, in fact, hampering his ability to run for re-election.

Notably, former President Joe Biden’s White House physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, has refused to testify before the House Oversight Committee regarding allegations that his boss suffered from cognitive decline while occupying the White House. The National Pulse previously reported that Dr. O’Connor abruptly left the hearing after pleading the Fifth. Two other senior Biden White House aides, Annie Tomasini and Anthony Bernal, have also refused to answer the committee’s questions, opting to plead the Fifth instead.

Obama Judge Takes Control of Trump’s WSJ Legal Battle.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, claiming defamation over allegations tied to a letter he supposedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump, Judge Darrin P. Gayles, The Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, and WSJ reporters.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The lawsuit was filed in July in Miami, Florida, and assigned to Judge Gayles of the Southern District of Florida.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists.” – Trump lawsuit complaint

🎯IMPACT: The case being run by a judge appointed by former President Obama raises concerns that President Trump will not receive a fair hearing.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump has launched a $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, its parent company News Corp, Dow Jones, and several others, alleging they published a false and defamatory report claiming he sent a sexually suggestive birthday card to deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, has been assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Darrin P. Gayles. Judge Gayles was trumpeted by the left as the first openly gay black man confirmed to the federal bench when then-President Barack Obama appointed him in 2014.

Trump accuses the WSJ of fabricating the story and failing to present any legitimate proof, such as the alleged letter or evidence confirming he wrote it. “The reason for those failures is because no authentic letter or drawing exists,” Trump’s legal team argues in the complaint.

The suit also names high-profile defendants, including media mogul Rupert Murdoch, News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, publisher Dow Jones, and the two journalists responsible for the article. Trump’s lawyers allege the report was crafted with the intent to harm his reputation.

Gabbard Submits Criminal Referral for Obama Officials to DOJ.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed it received a criminal referral from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to investigate Obama-era officials over alleged politicized intelligence in the Trump-Russia probe.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tulsi Gabbard, former President Barack Obama, and officials from the Obama administration.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The referral was confirmed on Monday, following Gabbard’s declassification of documents last week.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation could reignite scrutiny over the origins of the Trump-Russia collusion narrative and its handling by the Obama administration.

IN FULL

The Department of Justice (DOJ) confirmed on Monday that it received a criminal referral sent by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard to investigate Obama-era officials for “manufactured and politicized intelligence” regarding the Trump-Russia probe. Last week, Gabbard declassified documents that she claims implicate former President Barack Obama in the bogus allegations that Trump’s 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to interfere in the election.

On Friday, Gabbard described the declassified documents as exposing “a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.” She also promised that this was just the beginning: “We will be releasing more detailed information about how exactly this took place, and the extent to which this information was sought to be hidden from the American people.”

Additionally, the Director of National Intelligence indicated that criminal referrals were likely, which has now been confirmed.

Over the weekend, President Donald J. Trump shared an AI-generated video clip depicting the FBI arresting Obama in the Oval Office, with Obama shown handcuffed and brought to his knees in front of a smiling Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump applauded Gabbard’s move to declassify the files while reacting to a cable news discussion of the matter, writing on his Truth Social platform, “The Panel was fantastic on prosecuting Obama and the ‘thugs’ who have just been unequivocally exposed on highest level Election Fraud. Congratulations to Tulsi Gabbard. Keep it coming!!!”

Fed Chairman Powell Gets Criminal Referral for Perjury.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) referred Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for a criminal investigation over “materially false” claims made to Congress.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Anna Paulina Luna, Jerome Powell, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The referral was announced on Monday, following Powell’s June 25 testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Chairman Powell knowingly misled both Congress and executive branch officials about the true nature of a taxpayer-funded project. Lying under oath is a serious offense—especially from someone tasked with overseeing our monetary system and public trust.” – Anna Paulina Luna

🎯IMPACT: The referral raises questions about Powell’s integrity, and could lay the groundwork for the Federal Reserve chairman’s removal from his position “with cause.”

IN FULL

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is the subject of a criminal referral filed with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL). The Florida Republican alleges Powell made “materially false” claims and appeared to have committed perjury during his June 25 testimony before the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs regarding renovations to the Federal Reserve’s headquarters.

“I have formally referred Jerome Powell to the DOJ for criminal investigation,” Rep. Luna posted on X (formerly Twitter). “Chairman Powell knowingly misled both Congress and executive branch officials about the true nature of a taxpayer-funded project. Lying under oath is a serious offense—especially from someone tasked with overseeing our monetary system and public trust.”

Luna alleges that Powell lied when he denied reports about luxurious upgrades to the Fed’s headquarters, including roof terrace gardens, premium marble finishes, and modernized elevators. According to Luna, these denials were inconsistent with project plans submitted to the National Capital Planning Commission. “The revised plan includes a VIP private dining room, premium marble finishes, modernized elevators, water features, and a roof terrace garden—features that Powell publicly denied existed,” she wrote.

Luna also criticized Powell for a letter he wrote to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russell Vought regarding the construction and its cost increase from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion. Vought, who has scrutinized Powell over the renovations, compared it to France’s Palace of Versailles, a byword for extravagance and excess.

Luna’s letter stated, “The discrepancies between Chairman Powell’s sworn testimony and the factual record call for a thorough and impartial review by your office. The integrity of oversight and the trust placed in public officials, particularly those responsible for monetary policy and stewardship of taxpayer resources, demand accountability at the highest levels.”

In recent weeks, Powell has faced growing criticism from Republicans, with President Donald J. Trump urging him to resign before his term as chairman expires in May 2026. Trump has repeatedly called for interest rate cuts, clashing with Powell’s continued hesitation toward slashing borrowing costs.

World Economic Forum Doctored Data to Make Brexit Look Bad.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has been accused of manipulating research to portray Brexit negatively.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: WEF chief Klaus Schwab, WEF staff, and whistleblowers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Allegations surfaced in July 2025; incidents relate to a 2017/2018 economic report.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.” – Brexit champion Nigel Farage

🎯IMPACT: Alleged anti-democratic practices at the WEF have been exposed, raising serious questions about its integrity.

IN FULL

The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) has come under scrutiny following allegations that its leader, Klaus Schwab, manipulated research data to undermine Brexit. Whistleblowers say that Schwab personally intervened in the organization’s Global Competitiveness Report to prevent the United Kingdom from appearing successful post-Brexit.

In 2017, Britain’s ranking in the report was altered from an improvement to a decline, allegedly at Schwab’s direction. He told staffers Britain “must not see any improvement” in its economic position as this would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”—by proving that Brexit supporters were right to argue that voting to Leave the European Union (EU) in 206 would not result in economic disaster.

An internal investigation by the WEF, prompted by a whistleblower, also looked into Schwab’s conduct, including misusing funds and improper interactions with staff. The organization hosts the Davos summit in Davos, Switzerland, every year, bringing together politicians, plutocrats, and nonprofits to push post-national, globalist ideology.

Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s rising Reform Party and Brexit’s leading proponent, responded to the revelations by saying, “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true.”

Lord David Frost, one of the negotiators for the British government following the Brexit vote, said it was “rare we get such clear direct evidence of the global establishment’s hostility to Brexit,” adding: “Schwab’s alleged deliberate downgrading of Brexit Britain in his Global Competitiveness Report, directly contrary to the actual evidence, shows how deeply embedded distrust of national independence is, and how determined so many people are to suppress any discussion of its benefits.”

WATCH: Hunter Biden Demands El Salvador Invasion BRING BACK Illegals.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Hunter Biden unleashed a series of profanity-laced rants defending his father’s presidency during an erratic interview with the YouTube-based digital talk show, Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Hunter Biden and Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The over three-hour-long interview was posted on YouTube on July 21, 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “How are we getting those people back from El Salvador? Because I’ll tell you what, if I became President two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the fucking president of El Salvador and say, ‘You either fucking send them back or I’m going to fucking invade.’ It’s a fucking crime, what they’re doing. He’s a fucking dictator, thug.” — Hunter Biden

🎯IMPACT: The remarks by Hunter Biden come on the one-year anniversary of his father’s exit from the 2024 presidential race.

IN FULL

Former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, unleashed a series of angry and profanity-laced rants targeting those who oppose illegal immigration, along with George Clooney, former President Barack Obama, and Democratic Party operatives like Anita Dunn, David Axelrod, and James Carville, for forcing his father out of the 2024 presidential race. The former President’s son appeared overly animated and erratic while leveling the allegations during an interview with the YouTube-based digital talk show, Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.

“And he’s somehow convinced all of us that these [migrants] are the fucking criminals?” Hunter Biden, referring to President Donald J. Trump, exclaims during one segment before continuing: “White Men in America are 45 more times likely to commit a fucking violent crime than an immigrant. And the media says, well, you’ve got David Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel—so fucking smart Rahm Emanuel—’We’ve got to understand that these people are really mad. And we’ve got to appeal to these white voters.’ Rahm, the only people that fucking appealed to those fucking white voters was Joe Biden at 81 years old. And he got 81 million votes, and he did, not because he appeased their fucking Trumpian  sense, but because he challenged it.”

“But these guys think that we need to run away from all values in order for us to lead. I say, fuck you,” Hunter rants, adding: “How are we getting those people back from El Salvador? Because I’ll tell you what, if I became President two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the fucking president of El Salvador and say, ‘You either fucking send them back or I’m going to fucking invade.’ It’s a fucking crime, what they’re doing. He’s a fucking dictator, thug.” Biden goes on to clarify that he was referring to both U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele.

Bukele shared a clip of Hunter’s outburst on social media, asking if he was “sniffing powered milk”—likely in reference to the 55-year-old’s history of drug abuse.

In another segment, Hunter Biden angrily lashes out at his father’s detractors in the Democratic Party, blaming them for the Biden campaign’s abortive 2024 re-election bid. “Fuck him and everybody around him… George Clooney is not a fucking actor. He’s a brand,” Hunter Biden states, having reserved special ire for the Hollywood actor whose post-June 2024 debate op-ed trashing his father marked the beginning of the end for the re-election campaign.

Hunter continues, lashing out at a number of powerful Democrat campaign figures who became critical of Joe Biden’s decision to run for a second term. “James Carville hasn’t won a race in 40 fucking years,” Hunter Biden rages, adding: “David Axelrod had one success in his political life and that was Barack Obama and that was because of Barack Obama… The Pod Save America guys were junior fucking speech writers on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him, making millions… Anita Dunn has made $40-$50 million off the Democratic Party.”

Here’s What the Latest Polling Data Says About Trump, Epstein, and the Mid Terms.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A new, reliable, non-leftist poll indicates 71 percent of likely Republican voters feel “let down” by Trump’s handling of the Epstein files.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Likely Republican voters surveyed by the Democracy Institute and Daily Express US.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Conducted July 16–17, polling 1,300 likely Republican voters.

🎯IMPACT: Despite dissatisfaction, 87 percent would still vote Republican if Trump doesn’t release the files.

IN FULL

New polling data conducted by the reliable and right-leaning Democracy Institute in collaboration with the Daily Express US reveals that 71 percent of likely Republican voters feel disappointed by Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The survey, which took place on July 16–17, involved 1,300 likely Republican voters and has a margin of error of ±3 percent.

Despite the significant dissatisfaction, 87 percent of respondents indicated they would still vote Republican even if Trump chooses not to release the Epstein-related documents. A small percentage, three percent, said they would vote Democrat, four percent would opt for a third-party candidate, and six percent expressed they would abstain from voting.

The survey also highlights that 67 percent of participants believe Trump’s stance on the Epstein files could potentially weaken the Republican Party. Conversely, 20 percent disagreed with this sentiment, and 13 percent said they were uncertain.

Moreover, the poll finds that 77 percent of Republican voters think Trump was wrong to criticize MAGA supporters who have voiced frustration over the non-release of the files. Seventeen percent supported Trump’s criticism, while six percent were unsure.

The poll used interactive voice response technology on landlines and cell phones. It was weighted by gender, age, education, income, region, voting history, and party identification.

Bannon Sets Date for Exclusive Epstein Footage Release.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon is facing calls from Jeffrey Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, to release footage of interviews with Jeffrey Epstein for an unreleased documentary. However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage from his unfinished project, The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Stephen K. Bannon, deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein, and Epstein’s brother Mark.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The footage was recorded in 2018, with Bannon committing to its release early next year in July 2025.

💬KEY QUOTE: “We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year.” – Stephen K. Bannon

🎯IMPACT: Bannon says The Monsters is about “how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked.”

IN FULL

In 2021, the New York Post released a trailer for a documentary about deceased child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, produced by WarRoom host and former White House Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon. The footage, which reportedly includes over 15 hours of interviews, has not been released, with Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, publicly calling on Bannon to release the tapes of Friday, demanding, “Let me see the videotapes. He’s my brother.” However, Bannon has already committed to releasing the footage.

“We’re gonna release the film, the five-part series, next year, early next year,” Bannon said earlier this month. “And by the way, the entire thing is how the elites and the intelligence services are inextricably linked… You’re gonna have to name names and you’re gonna have to understand how the elites in the world, but also the intelligence services, are inextricably linked in Epstein’s story,” he reiterated,” adding: “That’s the key.”

The unfinished documentary, tentatively titled The Monsters: Epstein’s Life Among the Global Elite, was intended to expose how powerful global actors and institutions supported Epstein’s actions. It has long been suspected that Epstein collected blackmail on the people he trafficked minors to, possibly on behalf of a foreign intelligence service such as the Mossad.

Notably, Mark Epstein has expressed doubts about the official explanation of his brother’s death, which was ruled a suicide in 2019. “More and more, I believe he was murdered,” he said last week, adding that anyone who examines the facts would reach the same conclusion.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) under President Donald J. Trump recently said that they believe Epstein died by suicide, releasing footage from a surveillance camera near his cell said to prove no one entered the area where he was detained around the time of his death. However, it was later determined that the “raw” footage had actually been edited, with several minutes missing from it.

Bannon has been one of the key figures in MAGA pushing for greater transparency since the DOJ attempted to effectively close the Epstein case, urging President Donald J. Trump to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate it.
