There was a show hosted by Nick Fuentes on the Epstein files that were recently released. They were mostly emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein. Nick said that it was quite obvious that this proves that there are, in fact, Epstein files, so Trump clearly lied to everyone. Trump said he would release them, then that they were a hoax, then that they didn’t even exist. So Trump LIED! They are not a hoax, and they do actually exist. Nick Fuents on the Jeffrey Epstein Files: America First Episode 1597.

Nick and I agree on parts of a lot of subjects. The bottom line is that we are Americans and believe that our government should always put America first. Do not conflate America First with MGA. America First is not a partisan phrase, and it should be a focus of all representatives of America, regardless of their political affiliation. They represent America, so obviously, they should focus on America before any other country, at the bare minimum.

The Nick Fuentes Issue

While we agree on many things, I cannot agree with Nick Fuentes on the Epstein Files. Nick is smart. He is a conservative whom I find to be truthful almost to a fault, because he is sometimes blunt and crudely truthful. I will take a crude, truthful, asshole, than a nice, sweet, friendly, politically correct liar, or a liar of any kind. I do not think that Fuentes is being disingenuous or saying things that he believes are not true, but he does make statements based on some false premises in a recent show regarding the Epstein Files.

These are based on some misconceptions of the meanings of things said by Trump, Pam Bondi, and others in the current administration. Trump has not done some things that he said he would do. He has also done some things he said that he would not do. Trump is in the process of losing his base for these reasons, and perhaps he should, but not because of lies regarding Jeffrey Epstein.

What Was Said By Nick Fuentes on Trump:

There was actually a lot said by Nick Fuentes on the Epstein Files, all negative. First things first, Fuentes did not vote for Trump, and really feels betrayed by him because he has not been putting America first. He also feels like Trump is not making good on the promises he made during his campaign. We can discuss those later. I just wanted to preempt what was said by Nick Fuentes on the Epstein files, because it is going to come off as pretty harsh.

Nick started off by saying that the Epstein files were “pretty damning.” He then said that Trump promised to release the Epstein, JFK, and MLK files, but did not do it. He made these promises while campaigning, but did not do them when he got into office. Fuentes said Trump actually tried to trick the public into thinking that he released them with the binder stunt.

Fuentes goes on to say that, after a visit from Netanyahu, Trump said the Epstein files do not even exist. Nick then claimed that Congress had adjourned a month early to suppress the files and the vote to release the files. He claimed Trump is finished and MAGA is finished.

What Was Said By Nick Fuentes on the Epstein Files:

Nick started his deep dive into the files by claiming that Trump said that all there is in there is child porn. There are no other persons of interest, no third parties, just porn. None of that is real. This is evidence that Trump was actively involved in covering up for Epstein, according to Nick. He actually claimed that the Democrats shut down the government out of nowhere, seemingly to avoid releasing the files. Then the 20,000 emails in which Nick claims that one of the emails potentially puts Trump on the Island while girls were being abused.

“The release of this batch of 20,000 emails proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Trump is a liar.” Black and White, and undeniable that Trump lied in a conspiracy and a cover-up. Why, you ask? Fuentes is very adamant that Trump said in July that There-Are-No-Files as he karate chops his hand.

He went on to say that they insisted upon this for months. He accused Trump of lying because he insisted that there were no files at all, but he had asked the FBI to go through the files in May. Trump asked them to check and see if his name was in there, and it was, everywhere. So Trump lied when he said he didn’t know if his name was in there or not. Then, months later, Trump said that the files did not exist. Nick says that this is all an attempt to cover the files up, and let’s not forget that Epstein was in Trump’s DOJ custody when he died, which Fuentes finds suspicious. Trump’s DOJ rearrested Epstein in 2019. He was in their custody when he died–under the care of Trump’s AG, Bill Barr.

Trump’s Response According to Fuentes:

Fuentes says that Trump’s response, assuming to mean to the release of the emails, was that it was political–a distraction from his agenda. Fuentes agrees that this could be true because Biden was president for four years. Democrats controlled the House and the Senate. So, if they wanted to release the files, they could have. Nick says that to anyone who says this, ask them why Trump doesn’t release the files, then, if Trump is innocent. He could have them released immediately. If he is not guilty and it is all political, then why not release them? Trump ran on transparency, so he promised transparency, and what we have seen is lies and cover-up.

Nick says that the DOJ and FBI claim that “The files are on our desk.” Then, in May, Trump tells the FBI to go through the files and look for my name. He knows it’s there, and they tell him it is there. In July, Netanyahu visits the White House for the third time on 7/7/2025. And, the day before he arrives, the DOJ suddenly claims that there are no files. For three weeks, Trump is on damage control. He ordered them to close Congress so that Thomas Massie couldn’t compel their release.

Four months later, we find out that there are files, Trump’s name is all over them, he lied, and now 100 republicans are going to defect from Trump and vote to release the rest of the files next week. This is Nick’s timeline and his grievances. He claims that “this is a crisis of Trump’s own making. He cannot complain because his base is asking him to do what he promised to do.” ” The chickens have come home to roost.”

Some of the Misunderstandings Involved in What Was Said by Nick Fuentes on Trump

It is easy for me to sit here after the fact and nitpick what someone said in a live, three-hour show. I understand that.

And I am not trying to do that. Nick and I agree on a lot of things, and in the grand scheme of things, we are on the same America First team. We agree on some of the shortcomings of Trump, and I am not attacking him here. I am simply pointing out fundamental issues with what he has said on this particular topic. I think that if he realized these few things, he would change his mind on this topic, or maybe not. He repeated them on the next show, so who knows?

I am just going to go down the flow and correct the record on these claims. First, he said the files were pretty damning. I was not surprised after I looked through them. I had already seen most of it, and the new things I saw were looking like an Epstein that hated Trump for dropping the dime on him to the cops for his love of underage girls, and his being kicked out of all Trump’s properties and clubs because of it. They were absolutely not friends; that much is plainly obvious.

Nick said that Trump tried to trick the public into thinking he had released he files with the binder stunt. That was because of the FBI hiding the files. From what I have seen, Trump really thought he was releasing them with the binders. Perhaps I am wrong, but that is what I saw, because after that, Bondi had to force the FBI to turn over the rest of the files. They needed to start looking through the files all over again.

The Part Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens Both Agree On

Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens both jumped off the MAGA train at different times. Nick jumped off before the election when he said Trump was no longer putting America first. He couldn’t publicly support Trump in the last election or vote at all. He abstained. Candace jumped off when Trump suddenly said that the files don’t exist—a point that Candace and Nick both agree on.

“Release the Epstein client list!” Everyone was yelling and screaming back then, if you remember. Pam Bondi, after receiving all the files that the FBI was trying to keep from her, said that they were on her desk right now, and she is going through them. This is what highly pisses people, including Fuentes and Candace, off. Because, then, suddenly, they didn’t exist. This is the point at which MAGA lost Candace.

There is a conflation here. People say that this is the point at which the DOJ, and even Trump, said that the Epstein Files did not exist.

The conflation is between the Epstein Files, and the Epstein Client list. People were talking nonstop about the client list. A huge trove of Epstein Files was unloaded on the AG. Bondi was consumed with those files when asked about the list, and she says she has it all on her desk right now, and is going through it. She clearly means the files, not the list. People took that to mean that the Client List existed, and Bondi has it. That was the first conflation of the two, but not the last.

At the same time, there is no Epstein Client List. That is what does not exist, and why would it? Do you think that Epstein was a Mafia loan shark, with his little black book of debts to collect? Obviously not. He did have thousands of hard drives, pictures, documents, DVDs, and VHS tapes. Where are those?

Trump Covered up the Epstein Files

Trump did call the files a hoax, as Fuentes boldly claimed. This is an indisputable fact. Trump also tried to squash the release of the files for months. He ran on releasing the files, then pulled a 180 and said that they were a hoax, a distraction, propaganda, and disinformation by the Left. Conflation be damned. This is true. So the question is, why did he say these things if he has nothing to hide? There is no reason not to release them unless his name is all over them, which it is. These are true claims Fuentes made.

Fuentes also partially addressed the reason why Trump changed his stance on releasing the files. Nick says that the files were in Democratic control for four years. Dems held the White House, House of Representatives, and Senate after they had the files. So they could have released them at any time. Hell, Biden could have released them himself. He did not need Congressional permission. Bill Barr could have released them. Chris Wrey could have released them. Merrick Garland could have released them. If they were going to hurt Trump, whom all of those people hated, then they definitely would have. But they did not. Why not?

The answer is simple. Nothing was damning to Trump in them. That is the only logical answer. They tried everything to hurt Trump. They even tried to throw him in jail to win the election.

You cannot convince me, or any logical person, that the FBI—the same FBI that raided Mar-a-Lago, investigated attempts to overturn an election, raided Trump allies, friends, and colleagues, had the information that would have most certainly ended Trump’s campaign, and did not release it. Instead, they did all those other things and failed. That is pure nonsense.

Why Trump Shut Down The Epstein Files Release: a Cover-up

There are multiple reasons why Trump tried to squash the Epstein Files after running on their release. It is definitely not because his name is in them, though it definitely is. The Left, Deep State, Trump haters, or whatever you want to call them, had these files for years. Trump was claiming that he was going to release the files when he won. These people did not expect him to win the election, but he did win. This was a big problem for the above-named people. The other people named in the Epstein files. Prominent Democrats, including Bill Clinton, were there. And more reasons I will get to shortly, National Security reasons.

The anti-Trump group listed above had a limited time, but plenty of time, to try and scrub popular Democrats from the files, and cherry-pick what they wanted to leave in there, and perhaps add in there, in order to make Trump look bad and end his presidency. Part of the reason for this was likely to keep Trump from releasing them by poisoning the proverbial well. Like Fuentes said, Trump had the FBI go through the files and see what was there. Once they told him what was in there, he started calling it a hoax, Democrat Propaganda… etc. By that time, it was.

Alex Jones Claims CIA and Mossad Asked Trump to Squash Epstein Files Release

Alex Jones has said from the very beginning that Trump was behind the Epstein Files cover-up. He said months ago that Trump was behind it, which was later confirmed, and he said there could be two reasons for it. The first reason is that Trump has seen the files and who is in them on the Left, and he is now using them as blackmail to get his agenda through. The second is that the CIA and Mossad came to him (which gives credence to Fuentes’ claim that the Trump 180 took place immediately after Netanyahu visited Trump at the White House), and convinced him that National Security depended upon it. So Trump made a backdoor deal with the Democrats to just shut it down.

Jones said that his sources have confirmed the National Security angle. The far and wide speculation is that Epstein worked with the CIA and Mossad. The fact is that his right-hand girl, Ghislaine Maxwell, was the daughter of Robert Maxwell, who was heavily connected to both MI6 and Mossad. It is further reported that the child sex ring was not part of Epstein’s connection. It is said to be Epstein’s “side issue.” They were actually engaged in corruption, blackmail, bribery, money laundering, buying off scientific leaders, politicians, and heads of academia.

The Evidence of Epstein’s Houses and Islands

These things explain why Trump could have suddenly made that 180 and tried to shut down the Epstein File Release. The Democrats have been calling for the release and trying their hardest to block Trump’s agenda. So if they made a backdoor deal, they are certainly double-crossing him on it. But where are the boxes and boxes of VHS tapes, photos, hard drives, DVDs, and other evidence that were seen being loaded onto trucks from Epstein’s houses and island? They are gone. They have been scrubbed and destroyed while the files and evidence were under the control of Biden’s FBI. Everything left in there was purposely left in there to try and hurt Trump. This is why the files actually are a hoax, nonsense, and a leftist con. This is why nothing shocking has been discovered in the files, and Trump is just trying to move on.

Final Thoughts on This Ongoing Scandal

The DNC was already caught editing evidence and leaking misleading parts of emails to the press. This is a very common practice for them. The email “proof that could put Trump on Epstein Island,” as Nick Fuentes claimed, has been out in the public for a decade and is public information used at trial. The Dems just redacted parts that were never redacted before to make it look like it was a new woman, and not the old and well-known Epstein victim, Virginia Giuffre, email that has been out forever. Giuffre is one of many victims who have vehemently stated, under oath, that Trump was always nice to her and was never at the Island or ever seen with an underage girl, or ever doing anything inappropriate.

There are a lot of things that Trump has promised and not yet done. There are many shortcomings, potential lies, and reversals that he has made. I will hit on those in subsequent articles. Nick Fuentes has called out many things that Trump has let down his base on. Trump’s approval rating is currently in the toilet because of it. Trump has been fought tooth and nail by the Left on every single item he has been trying to implement, and has been swamped with other BS distractions and lawfare from activist judges all over the country.

This does not explain his reversals on many issues that he promised, such as the H1B visas, Chinese students in our universities, and many others that we will discuss in other articles. This Epstein nonsense is not one of them, and if Nick Fuentes and Candice Owens had this information, I do think that they might change their minds on the Epstein issue, though neither would just turn on their Trump support. However, the truth must get out.
