The Stack: Epstein Files, Truth Justice, and Political Spin

The newly released Epstein files are flooding the news cycle again—but the truth is far more complicated than the narratives being pushed. Tens of thousands of pages from the House Oversight Committee, the DOJ, and Epstein’s estate paint a picture filled with redundancies, heavy redactions, confusing fragments, and selective leaks. Much of the material simply reaffirms what’s already known, while the new details—especially the email referencing Donald Trump—are being weaponized politically before the facts are even established.

This episode breaks down what’s actually in the documents, what’s missing, and how both parties are spinning the story. Todd explains the realities around Virginia Giuffre’s testimony, the DOJ memo claiming no “client list” exists, and why justice—not retribution—should guide this conversation. With victims’ lives and national trust at stake, the goal isn’t entertainment or conspiracy speculation. It’s truth. It’s accountability. And it’s a sober look at the intersection of power, exploitation, and politics in America.

📝 Transcript: Epstein Files, Truth, Justice, and Political Spin

The Todd Huff Show – November 18, 2025

Host: Todd Huff

Todd Huff: All right, my friends today. We are going to walk through what's really well. In this Epstein story. We can't go through all the files. Listen, this is a complex thing, but what I. Want you to know. What I want you to know more than anything is that we are here to talk about this. As objectively and as fair minded as we can.

Todd Huff: Not to, not to. My friends use this for political purposes. That seems to be the obsession by many, many people out there. We're not going to do that today. We're going to pursue truth and justice, and that's what matters. So that's where we're headed today. I welcome you to the program.

Todd Huff: And friends. Think about this. Your investments are like seeds that you plant. They grow, they multiply. But are they bearing the kind of fruit that you want them to produce? At four eight financial. They believe your money should reflect your values. They specialize in wealth management. And biblically responsible investing, screening out companies that do not align with your faith.

Todd Huff: It's all a part of what they call purpose centered financial planning. Helping you live a life of meaning. And purpose if you want to see. If your investments are aligned with your values or to what degree they are all you have to do is head on over to 40. Eightfinancial.com Todd that's 48 financial. Com Todd to complete a very quick and easy assessment. And then they're going to show you. They're going to show you if or to what degree your investments align with your values.

Todd Huff: Four, eight. Financial. They're here to worry about your money. So you don't have to, all right? Listen, if you've listened to this program for any length of time, you'll know. This program is about ideas. This program is about. Communicating truth. In fact, one of the fundament. Fundamental. Point. The mission. I should just say the mission of this program. It's in writing. My friends. The mission of this program is to help. Others hear and receive truth.

Todd Huff: Now, I got a version of that I like how that's worded. In fact, you might remember several years ago, I had a comedian on this program. His name is Michael Jr. He's a Christian comedian, and if you've not seen his stuff. I encourage you to take a look. He's very mission minded, very focused on. Helping. People laugh. And that's where I kind of, I liked what he said. He said, as a comedian.

Todd Huff: A lot of comedians. The mindset is you want to try to get someone to laugh. I'm trying to get a laugh out, which is true still, fundamentally, but. The focus then isn't just on you getting a laugh. The focus is giving someone an opportunity to laugh. It changes the focus, and it changes things, I think, in a good way, and so that's why we welcome. I do care, but it doesn't matter to me. For this purpose of you being here today. What? Your political background.

Todd Huff: Is, in fact, I've had people say some very nice things about this program who are not politically aligned. With me. They're not politically aligned with me. I'm not here to be a flamethrower. I'm not here to engage. In personal attacks and the politics of personal destruction. It's Hillary Clinton said all these years. Ago. I'm here to help people here and receive truth, and so I don't. Chase.

Todd Huff: I know there's a lot of people out there. Who? Constantly pontificate and speculate. And there's the whole conspiracy theory avenue that people go down, which. That's a topic a day. To me, that's a day program to talk about even the idea of what a conspiracy. Theory is what that means. To what degree things like that are possible. To what degree those things? Are just, well. To what degree they're believable. Achievable, attainable. To what degree they're maybe impossible. And just how the language to describe these so called conspiracy theories are used to prevent people from actually coming up with other explanations.

Todd Huff: There's a whole topic, a whole show on that, and I don't mean listen. The conspiracy theorists have put points on the board. The conspiracy theorists have oftentimes explained reality much better than the people who are pushing the official narrative. Whatever that's about, Covid or take your pick of any number of issues. But I do think. This is where I would say I'm not even interested in that approach. Talking about conspiracy. Theories See, I'm here to pursue truth. I think a lot of people.

Todd Huff: View these conversations as purely like speculative entertainment, where they are speculating. And again, as I said, pontificating. And just kind of for the sake of entertainment. Oh, that could happen. And it's almost. Like a murder mystery that has no appeal to me. I'll be honest, if that's. What you're looking for. You probably found the wrong show to tune into, but I would challenge you in this. I would. Say, if you're interested in truth, and I think you should be, I think you should. Be interested in truth and what really matters. Of course, if people are doing these things, then that is the truth. But the problem is.

Todd Huff: Sometimes. These conversations aren't had in such a way. So as to get to the truth. It's just to kind of have another idea out. There. I know there's a lot of folks out there. A lot of women like. The true crime stuff. Which again, listen, I'm not telling you what to listen to or. Not to listen to. But at some point, If these are true stories and we're just getting entertainment from the story, who did it? What's the plot? These are people's lives to me. I'd rather get the bad guy. That's just me. I'm not there. Just.

Todd Huff: For the story. This is about truth, justice and those sorts of things. So I resist sometimes. Some of these stories. And narratives out there because. It's so much speculation and so forth. And so I actually, today, as I was thinking about what's going on out there, I think what's needed is just kind of a comprehensive, fair minded approach to what's actually happening in this Epstein file story. So far. And that's what I want to go through today. I want to go through this I want to focus on. What? 's necessary. To do what the truth is, so much as we can figure that out and how we should. Approach this.

Todd Huff: So I know many people talk about Epstein for political reasons. I'm interested in justice. I'm interested in truth. Once we establish these things, let the political chips fall. Where they may. My friends. Let them fall. Where they may. So we're going to walk through. What's really in those files. To what degree? We know what's missing. How the media, how politicians are spinning it, what it means for justice, especially.

Todd Huff: For victims like Virginia Jew Frey, who recently. Died by suicide. So here we go. What is actually. In the Epstein files. so far. And here's what we know we got the republican led house of representatives they have a committee called. The House Oversight committee. They've got many committees there. Of course, one of those is the oversight committee. They've released 33,000. 295 pages on Jeffrey Epstein related records that it has gotten from the Department of Justice.

Todd Huff: We had some release back September 2. The committee subpoenaed the Department of Justice to release everything it had. And the files include things like emails, memos, reports, all sorts of things. Attachments. It's. A paper trail from the federal. Investigation. Of jeffrey epstein. That's the one that he was in jail for. That investigation, those charges, when he died. By suicide, they say in. 2019. Just about a week ago, the oversight committee also released another 20,000 pages of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's estate.

Todd Huff: These include his own emails. Schedules, contacts, records of where he was traveling, stuff like that. So we're looking at over 50,000 pages. In one form or another is public. And that's just from the recent waves here. Of releases. So when you hear the phrase epstein files, What we're talking about are those tens of thousands of pages that. Have been delivered from the Department of Justice and from Epstein's own estate. It's a lot of paper there. Reminds me of Hillary Clinton's emails just based upon the quantity there.

Todd Huff: And that's part of the problem. It's information overload. And so. You have a bunch of information. And it can be confusing to sift through, especially. As just an average person who. Some people think they got this thing figured out. They know what's? Going on. Other folks are just picking and choosing some. Things can be taken out of context. Some things. Can. It's just a lot. It's a lot of information.

Todd Huff: So. What's largely. Already been out there, which. Is not new. Was uncovered, or I guess you could say was found when reporters initially dug through those 33,000 pages. 33,000 pages from the Department of Justice. A lot of that was repetitive. It was copies of earlier court filings, previous statements from victims. Internal emails summarizing things that we already knew.

Todd Huff: And so there's a lot of redundancy, a lot of not, you know, a lot of stuff that. Wasn't new. The Guardian. And. Other media outlets said the files appear to contain. Mostly information that's already in the public domain. And that, of course, led to frustration because people think, hey. You've dragged your feet on releasing this. When you do release it, it's stuff. That we already think that we know. It seems to be repetitive. What's going on, but there is some new stuff and stuff that's getting some. Attention. Of course.

Todd Huff: And that's largely these emails that are coming from Jeffrey Epstein's estate. In particular, an email where he talked about. Donald trump. In a 2011 email, Epstein. Tells jelain maxwell gilane maxwell. That a victim? Listen, so the other thing that's going on here is there's a lot of redactions. You got to protect the identity of the victims and so forth. So this was leaked to the media.

Todd Huff: It was leaked to the media and it was redacted. And in an email from 2011, Epstein tells Maxwell that. There was a victim who had spent. Hours at my house, Epstein said with Trump. And that Trump, quote, knew about the girls. Now pause. There. I know Clinton's name has been mentioned in this. I mean, of course, we all know. Just some other names that have been. Brought up and so forth.

Todd Huff: Prince? Was it Prince Andrew? Just lots of people. That have been hated. By one side or the other. I think that. A lot of this can be explained a lot of this can be explained by the fact that there's a desire to bring down. Individuals, and there's no desire to bring down an individual that's greater than the desire to bring down. An individual named Donald J. Trump. I mean, how many times do I have to go through. The examples of how he has been targeted, how he has been. Had the government weaponized against him. How many examples of impeachment and hearings and allegations and criminal charges and civil charges.

Todd Huff: And how many times does he have to. Sue the media. Threaten winning lawsuits, by the way. Winning lawsuits. Where they're defaming and lying about the president. I mean, there's a lot. Here to unpack that again is another program that's probably multiple days. We could go through. Those case by case and probably spend a week on the way that Trump has been targeted by people in the media.

Todd Huff: In the Democrat party, the globalist. There's a lot of people targeting. President donald j trump and there's a lot of people that would love to see other big name people. Obama, Clinton, take your pick. Go down from this. I understand. People assume that some of these folks are nefarious people who. I can understand why people think that. They have a laundry list of bad things attached to their name. And so. People want justice, even if it's not for something that we know they did elsewhere.

Todd Huff: If they can somehow be implicated here, there's a desire for that person to pay for. What that person has done to other people. I mean, the Clintons, you think about all the allegations and all the. My goodness, all the people. That allegedly were connected with the Clintons that died mysteriously. Again, we're talking about things here. That could be episodes or multiple episodes on this program. So if anything, I say here some of you have been newer to politics you might not know about, say, the Clinton. Political machine if you don't. I mean, that might be something you want to look into.

Todd Huff: I just can't talk again. That would take me hours to go through all of that. So people want justice. And that's not a bad thing. We shouldn't want justice. But when we stop wanting justice and we want retribution, we want. This person to pay, I would say. We need to have a realignment of our thinking here. We're out of whack. That's not the way to. I want justice. I want justice for the victims. I want justice for the victim's families. I want justice for our society.

Todd Huff: If to what degree this was going on and the people who were involved. In Jeffrey Epstein's just. Absolutely disgusting. Alleged system here of. What he's done victimizing young women. Sex workers, all this stuff, children. Especially problematic when you factor in children. You've got. Not just sexual assault, which is terrible. You've got just terrible things. Rape. And you've got rich and powerful people that. Have been alleged to be going to his island.

Todd Huff: For these encounters with young girls. It's just sickening and disgusting. It's ruined. Lives, and we want justice for them. We want justice for their family, and we want these sorts of things. To be people who engage in these sorts of things to be held accountable, whether. They have fifty cents to their name, or $50 billion or trillion dollars, or getting close to Elon musk's. Well, Elon Musk numbers approaching a trillion dollars.

Todd Huff: So. That's what we want. The White House has said that the unnamed victim in that email was actually. Virginia. Dufrey, who actually. Has juice. Excuse me. She has already said. In other testimony, that President Trump, she never saw him do anything. She basically exonerated him personally. So if it was an email from her, of course.

Todd Huff: Listen, if you've listened to this program for any length of time, you'll know. This program is about ideas. This program is about. Communicating truth. In fact, one of the fundament. Fundamental. Point. The mission. I should just say the mission of this program. It's in writing. My friends. The mission of this program is to help. Others hear and receive truth.

A lot of this can be explained a lot of this can be explained by the fact that there's a desire to bring down. Individuals, and there's no desire to bring down an individual that's greater than the desire to bring down. An individual named Donald J. Trump.

How many examples of impeachment and hearings and allegations and criminal charges and civil charges. And how many times does he have to. Sue the media. Threaten winning lawsuits, by the way.

Todd Huff: Where they're defaming and lying about the president. I mean, there's a lot. Here to unpack that again is another program that's probably multiple days. We could go through.

President donald j trump and there's a lot of people that would love to see other big name people.

Todd Huff: Obama, Clinton, take your pick. Go down from this. I understand. People assume that some of these folks are nefarious people who. I can understand why people think that. They have a laundry list of bad things attached to their name. And so. People want justice, even if it's not for something that we know they did elsewhere. If they can somehow be implicated here, there's a desire for that person to pay for. What that person has done to other people.

But when we stop wanting justice and we want retribution, we want. This person to pay, I would say. We need to have a realignment of our thinking here. We're out of whack. That's not the way to. I want justice. I want justice for the victims.

Todd Huff: I want justice for the victim's families. I want justice for our society. If to what degree this was going on and the people who were involved. In Jeffrey Epstein's just. Absolutely disgusting. Alleged system here of. What he's done victimizing young women. Sex workers, all this stuff, children. Especially problematic when you factor in children.

Todd Huff: You've got. Not just sexual assault, which is terrible. You've got just terrible things. Rape. And you've got rich and powerful people that. Have been alleged to be going to his island. For these encounters with young girls. It's just sickening and disgusting. It's ruined. Lives, and we want justice for them. We want justice for their family, and we want these sorts of things, To be people who engage in these sorts of things to be held accountable, whether.

Todd Huff: They have fifty cents to their name, or $50 billion or trillion dollars, or getting close to Elon musk's. Well, Elon Musk numbers approaching a trillion dollars. So. That's what we want. The White House has said that the unnamed victim in that email was actually. Virginia. Dufrey, who actually. Has juice. Excuse me. She has already said. In other testimony, that President Trump, she never saw him do anything.

Todd Huff: She basically exonerated him personally. So if it was an email from her, of course. The allegation is Trump knew about this. Let's get Trump. There's a public school teacher I know who on a Facebook response to me. Actually made the allegation that Trump. Was having. Well, it was doing inappropriate things with underage girls. That was an allegation.

Todd Huff: A direct allegation, not just saying, hey, he's in a shady situation. It looks like he might have been involved, okay? You can have that question. That's what reasonable people do. But if you go to the point where you make the claim without evidence. By the way, what is the evidence? This email is the evidence. Where the email said Trump spent hours at the house and that he knew about the girls, that was an email from almost 15 years ago, and according to the White House, not by the documents.

Todd Huff: Because the documents were redacted. The documents. Excuse me. The White House says that that was written. By Virginia. Juferre because. She's the one who said Trump was not implicated. She never saw him doing anything with these underage girls and so forth, so there's just a lot of stuff out there. People want to get certain political figures. Of course, nobody wants to get anyone more than. The insane, radical, godless leftists want to get.

Todd Huff: Want to get Trump again. It's all part of the Seinfeld Newman strategy. As long as it takes, they'll do. Whatever it takes, as long as it takes them, so long as it takes Trump away from 1600. Pennsylvania Avenue and ends this nightmare when they can stop screaming at the universe and all that sort. Of stuff and begin. To live their lives again.

Todd Huff: But people are all over the place. You've got conspiracy theories. You got people guessing or just throwing out names, then you've got the whole thing. If you knew Epstein, if you had a picture with him publicly taken. Somehow you're automatically implicated as well. Listen. It makes no difference, Democrat or Republican. Just because you met the guy doesn't mean you. Had the slightest idea about this, it could mean that you did.

Todd Huff: It could mean that you were. Participating in it. But being a person who's fair and just, you can say just by. Meeting the guy just by being a guy that got an email from him you may not have. Had any idea. And, of course, at the other end of that spectrum, you could have absolutely known and been right. In the middle of that sodom and Gamora. So. There are genuinely some new details out there, of course.

Todd Huff: Namely what I just said that Epstein claimed. That Trump knew, but. Much of what we got from this most recent document dump is the repackaging of things. Again that we already knew. Are hiding key details behind black bars and those redactions. So. That's kind of where we stand now.

Todd Huff: As I get to the, I'm going to have to pause here. This is a good place to stop. I've just got a minute or so here in the program. But truth. And pursuing truth. And actual justice. More than retribution, more than political victories. Is the pursuit of truth. And I feel like that's, of all things, I feel like. That is missing. Dramatically. From this discussion. At least for a lot of people.

Todd Huff: But when you have a reaction like this, you start asking yourself the question, what's really going on here? What's really going on here? Because if the video is so debunkable, if the video is so debunkable about Epstein, and I know that it hasn't been totally proven. I know it hasn't been totally proven about Epstein and the video allegedly shows him exiting the prison the night. You know, his death was said to have occurred, his alleged suicide, right? We know all this. And so when you look at these things, it at least raises questions.

Todd Huff: But if it was a right‑wing misinformation, if it was easy to poke holes in, why does YouTube step up and respond like this? Why does Axios use the word pounce? Why does Axios not mention a single thing about whatever Jimmy Kimmel said about the Clintons in 2018? I mean, that literally happened. You can look that up. That literally happened, but that doesn't make it into Axios’s article. Why? Why, my friends?

Todd Huff: See, this is the problem. Every time, every time something pops up that could be damaging to the left, it’s “right‑wing pouncing,” “misinformation,” “dangerous,” “harmful,” “conspiracy theorists.” It’s never just, “Hey, let’s find out the truth.” It’s never just, “Let’s get to the bottom of this.” Why? Why isn’t that the response?

Todd Huff: And I’ll tell you why. Because the truth—wherever it leads—is dangerous to people who depend on lies, narratives, and illusions to maintain political power. And my friends, there are a lot of people in D.C., in the media, in Hollywood, in these bureaucracies, in these alphabet‑soup agencies who depend on illusions. They depend on you not seeing the truth. They depend on controlling what you see, what you hear, what you’re “allowed” to think.

Todd Huff: And so when you have something like this Epstein video circulating again, suddenly it’s “dangerous.” Suddenly it needs to be censored. Suddenly it needs to be labeled. Suddenly Axios needs to tell you that the right has “pounced.” That’s not journalism. That is narrative activism. That is narrative protection.

Todd Huff: And so when you see these things unfold—as we all have—you start to see patterns. And once you see the pattern, you can’t unsee it. This is not about whether the Epstein video is real. This is not about whether it’s been proven. This is about the reaction to it. And the reaction tells you something. The reaction tells you this touched a nerve.

Todd Huff: And when something touches a nerve in Washington, when something touches a nerve in the media, when something touches a nerve among Democrats—especially among Democrats—pay attention. Because that is where the truth often lies.

Todd Huff: And of course, timing matters here. Because this is all happening while the Biden campaign is collapsing in real time. The Democrat Party is panicking. The media is panicking. The whole apparatus is panicking.

Todd Huff: And now you've got this Epstein story resurfacing. You’ve got whistleblowers. You’ve got lawsuits. You’ve got documents being unsealed. And suddenly YouTube is doing backflips to stop a video from spreading. I mean, my friends, come on. Are we supposed to pretend we don’t see the pattern?

Todd Huff: And then, my friends, we've got this situation with Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden. This guy. I mean, every time you turn around, there's something else. There's something else happening. There's something else being exposed. And yet, we're supposed to pretend like it's no big deal. We're supposed to pretend like it's not politically relevant. We're supposed to pretend like it's not tied to Joe Biden.

Todd Huff: Meanwhile, every accusation against Trump—no matter how flimsy, no matter how laughable, no matter how fabricated—it’s the worst thing that's ever happened in American history. It’s treason. It’s a threat to democracy. It’s the end of the republic. And so, you look at this stuff, and on one side, you have them screaming about Trump, and on the other side, you have them running cover for Hunter Biden.

Todd Huff: And my friends, again, the contrast tells you everything you need to know. Everything. It tells you what their priorities are. It tells you what their agenda is. It tells you what they're willing to lie about, ignore, cover up, manipulate—whatever it takes to maintain power.

Todd Huff: And so, when we see Hunter Biden out there now suddenly acting like he's the victim, acting like he's the one being unfairly targeted, acting like he's the one who's been mistreated… I mean, come on. Come on, my friends. This is ridiculous.

Todd Huff: The guy has had nothing but protection. Nothing but political shielding. Nothing but cover from the media, from the DOJ, from Democrats, from the bureaucracy. And now he wants us to believe that he's suffering? That he's the one who's been wronged?

Todd Huff: And now, of course, he wants to crank it up. He wants to make it more political. He wants to escalate things. And this is what they do. When they're cornered, when they're exposed, when the truth is catching up to them, they lash out. They double down. They project. They accuse you of doing exactly what they themselves are guilty of.

Todd Huff: And this is where we are. Everything is political to these folks. Everything. It doesn't matter if it's life and death. It doesn't matter if it's national security. It doesn't matter if it's corruption. It doesn't matter if it's the law. Everything is political. Everything is about power.

Todd Huff: And you can see it whether they're talking about Epstein, whether they're talking about Trump, whether they're talking about Charlie Kirk, whether they're talking about these victims of Jeffrey Epstein, whether they’re talking about anything that threatens them. It's all political.

Todd Huff: And, my friends, what we want—what we should want—is simple: justice and truth. Justice and truth. Wherever the chips may fall politically. Wherever they may fall personally. That is what should matter in this country. And yet, here we are.

Todd Huff: Look, my friends, when we talk about Epstein, the first thing we have to remember is: this isn’t entertainment. This isn’t a mystery novel. These are real lives. Real victims. And so while the media, while politicians, while commentators, while conspiracy theorists are turning this into a spectacle, the most important thing should be the pursuit of justice.

Todd Huff: And of course, that means looking at every angle. Every document. Every memo. Every email. Every interview. Every deposition. And that’s what the House Oversight Committee has been doing. They’ve released tens of thousands of pages. And that’s just the beginning.

Todd Huff: Now, we’ve talked about the emails that allegedly reference Donald Trump. We’ve talked about the fact that these are redacted. We’ve talked about the fact that the White House says Virginia Jufre was the author of that email, and she has testified under oath that Trump never did anything to her. But the narrative being spun politically is different. And that’s what people are paying attention to.

Todd Huff: And of course, you’ve got the Democrats cherry-picking those emails to try to implicate Trump. That’s what they do. They cherry-pick, they curate, they highlight, they spin. Meanwhile, other names, other documents, other pages that don’t fit the narrative? Ignored. Left on the floor. Forgotten.

Todd Huff: And my friends, this is the point. It’s not about Democrats or Republicans. It’s not about right or left. It’s about integrity. It’s about fairness. It’s about truth. It’s about following the evidence wherever it leads and not trying to manufacture a political victory.

Todd Huff: And that’s why I focus on what we know. What we can confirm. And the truth is that much of the document dumps are repetitive, redundant, or heavily redacted. There is new information, but it must be analyzed carefully. And that includes what Epstein wrote, what Maxwell did, what the DOJ investigated, what the FBI reviewed, and what the victims have testified.

Todd Huff: And yes, it is complicated. It is messy. It is politically charged. But that does not change the responsibility of the media, the government, and the public to pursue justice. That does not change the responsibility to focus on victims. That does not change the responsibility to report facts accurately.

Todd Huff: So when people accuse others of “spinning” or “pouncing” or “being conspiratorial,” remember: those accusations are often coming from people who are not comfortable with the truth. Not comfortable with scrutiny. Not comfortable with the public seeing the full story.

Todd Huff: And as we continue to follow this, the key is to separate politics from evidence. To separate speculation from testimony. To separate allegations from confirmations. Because otherwise, we end up with chaos, distortion, and injustice. And that does not help anyone, especially the victims.

Todd Huff: And so my friends, the takeaway is this: pursue truth. Pursue justice. Do not be distracted by spin, by sensationalism, by the urge to make a political point. Let the facts guide the discussion. Let the victims’ voices be heard. Let the evidence lead.

Todd Huff: Now, my friends, as we go deeper into the Epstein files, we have to understand the scope of what’s been released. Tens of thousands of pages from the DOJ. Tens of thousands of pages from Epstein’s estate. Emails, memos, schedules, contacts, flight logs, attachments, internal communications. It’s overwhelming. And that’s why people get confused.

Todd Huff: And I’ve got to stress, just because someone’s name appears in an email or a document doesn’t mean they did anything wrong. That’s critical to understand. Being mentioned, being associated, does not equal guilt. But that nuance gets lost in political spin and media headlines.

Todd Huff: And of course, we also have to look at the missing pieces. Redactions are everywhere. Grand jury transcripts, exhibits, internal investigative notes, financial records, parts of flight manifests, travel details—these are blacked out for good reason. Or at least they are in part. But the public can’t see all of it. And that creates confusion.

Todd Huff: And that’s why the narrative about a “list” or a “client list” or a “blackmail ledger” is misleading. There isn’t a single, neatly packaged list that names everyone involved and what they allegedly did. There’s evidence to be interpreted, dots to be connected, documents to be cross-referenced. And that’s hard for the public to follow.

Todd Huff: But make no mistake, my friends. The goal here is justice. Not political gain. Not retribution. Justice. For the victims. For the families. For society. That’s what should drive the conversation. And yet, politics intervenes at every step.

Todd Huff: And now we’re seeing it in real time with the Democrats highlighting emails that involve Trump. Making him look as bad as possible. Attempting to imply guilt without context. Ignoring what the victims themselves have said under oath. That’s cherry-picking at its worst.

Todd Huff: And of course, Trump’s critics will ignore context, will ignore testimony, will ignore evidence that exonerates him personally. Because their goal isn’t truth. Their goal is political damage. That’s the reality of this discussion. And the reality is, my friends, we have to separate the politics from the pursuit of truth.

Todd Huff: And in doing that, we acknowledge the victims. We acknowledge the perpetrators. We acknowledge the evidence. We do not ignore or misrepresent what is said under oath. And we do not allow political bias to dictate the narrative of such heinous crimes.

Todd Huff: And so we’re left with tens of thousands of pages. Hundreds of emails. Scores of memos. Redactions. Black boxes. Ambiguity. And the public is left to interpret, while the media picks sides. And that is the challenge we face. That is the responsibility of anyone who wants to pursue truth.

Todd Huff: And my friends, in the end, what we should want is simple: justice for the victims, clarity from the evidence, transparency from those in power, and the courage to follow the truth wherever it leads—even if it’s inconvenient politically.

Todd Huff: And my friends, finally, we get to what this all means in context. The political manipulation, the selective media coverage, the cherry-picked documents, the spin—it’s all happening while real victims are left waiting for justice. That is unacceptable. That is what we have to focus on.

Todd Huff: And when you look at Virginia Jufre, one of the most well-known victims of Epstein, you see the human toll. Groomed as a teenager, trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell, targeted by the rich and powerful—her story is tragic, her advocacy was courageous, and her memoir, “Nobody’s Girl,” is critical for understanding what really happened.

Todd Huff: And the emails that reference Trump? The White House confirms that the author of the email was Virginia Jufre herself. She has consistently testified that Trump never did anything to her, never abused her, and she never saw him participate in any crimes. That’s a key fact that is constantly ignored in political spin.

Todd Huff: And my friends, let’s be clear. Democrats are using these emails to attack Trump politically. That is their goal. That is their strategy. That is what they do at every opportunity. They want him removed from office. They want to delegitimize him. They want to make sure his reputation is destroyed.

Todd Huff: And meanwhile, Hunter Biden wants to turn it up. He wants to turn it up. Everything is political. For these folks. They’re talking about life and death, whether it’s with Charlie Kirk, or with these victims of Jeffrey Epstein. And what we should want is justice and truth, my friends.

Todd Huff: Wherever the political chips may fall. I got to go. SDG.
