EXCLUSIVE: New Files Examined By Law Enforcement/Intelligence Analyst Reveal Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Acted as Go-Between to Block 9/11 Victim Families From Suing Saudi Arabia And Details Possible FARA Violations This week on Straight to the Point I sat down with Morgan Wright, a nationally recognized cybersecurity, law enforcement and intelligence analyst. Wright analyzes the new revelations from the Epstein files and discusses evidence that Jeffrey Epstein functioned as a high-level influence operator allegedly protecting Saudi Arabian interests which included apparent attempts to block 9/11 families lawsuits before Trump took office, a 9/11 “shadow” commission with Ghislaine Maxwell, and bragging about SCIF access with Steve Bannon. Wright also says that Epstein fits the exact profile of individuals valuable to the CIA National Resources Division and questions why Epstein was never investigated for apparent violations of foreign lobbying laws by either party. A spokesman for Steve Bannon did not dispute the authenticity of the texts, but offered no further comment. A Saudi Embassy spokesperson confirmed receipt of our questions about the Kingdom’s relationship with Epstein, but did not immediately comment. The Estate of Jeffrey Epstein did not respond to our email seeking comment. A spokeswoman for Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House Counsel for President Obama said: "Ms. Ruemmler did not take any action, in either a professional or personal capacity, related to JASTA (Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act), the 9/11 families, or their ability to sue Saudi Arabia. She was never asked to take any action on this matter and never did." "Ms. Ruemmler welcomes the opportunity to appear before the Committee. At the time she interacted with Jeffrey Epstein, she was a practicing criminal defense attorney and shared a client with him. She has done nothing wrong and had no knowledge of any ongoing criminal activity on his part.” Ken Starr died in 2022. @thelatmg @latimesstudios_ Straight to the Point: Exposing Epstein’s Saudi 9/11 Connection 01:00 Epstein: Alleged effort to Block 9/11 families from suing Saudi Arabia 02:00 Epstein: Claims he will get former Obama WH Counsel and Ken Starr to help 03:18 Urgency to Act: Before President Trump’s first term 04:20 Epstein: Violations Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) 05:05 Neither Republican nor Democrat Administrations Pursued Epstein’s Alleged FARA violations 06:10 Ghislaine Maxwell: “Shadow” 9/11 Commission 08:15 Epstein: Brags to Steve Bannon About Access to “highly classified” facility 10:12 Epstein: In-Q-Tel (CIA-Backed High Tech Fund) 11:30 Epstein: Travel to “Denied” Areas 12:22 Congresswoman Mace: CIA should open its books on Epstein 13:30 CIA: National Resources Division For Intelligence Gathering 14:40 Epstein Attorneys File CIA and NSA FOIAs: Controlling The Narrative 17:49 DOJ “Coding Error” on Trump/Epstein Files 19:30 Response Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Epstein Estate, Kathryn Ruemmler

BREAKING: Flynn Family statement about today’s DOJ settlement regarding my case. ______________ Today, after ten years of fighting, I have reached a settlement agreement with the United States Government in my case regarding the Russian Hoax FBI lawfare against me. Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years—the relentless attacks, the destruction of reputations, the financial ruin, and the profound personal toll inflicted upon us all. No amount of money or formal resolution can erase the pain caused by a prosecution that should never have been brought. This ordeal stemmed from partisan government officials in a coordinated effort to pursue an innocent man as part of a broader campaign to undermine @realDonaldTrump and his administration. It was a relentless, partisan pursuit that weaponized federal law enforcement in an audacious and unjust manner. Yet this settlement goes far in demonstrating that the current Department of Justice, under the leadership of President Trump, Attorney General Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Blanche, and other dedicated departmental leaders, is committed to bringing accountability for the bad acts of those partisan actors. It marks a meaningful step toward righting a profound wrong. There should never again be such a brazen attempt to weaponize federal law enforcement against political opponents or innocent citizens. It is essential that we remain guardians of the rule of law. A huge part of that guardianship is accountability, holding those who abuse power to answer for their actions. It is not this Department of Justice that created this crisis of politicized justice, but they are doing right by truly pursuing justice now—ensuring that the facts prevail and that such abuses are not repeated. This resolution, while imperfect, brings to an end this chapter of injustice. This small measure of accountability should help the nation heal regarding the abuses of the past. It allows my family and me to move forward. My family and I remain grateful for the support of so many who stood by us. It was their support and our faith in God Almighty that sustained us and gave us the strength to endure. I will continue to advocate for the restoration of integrity in all our institutions. @jbinnall @SidneyPowell1
