Important Update: Trump Upset After Being Called out at Grammys as More, Significant Allegations Surface in Epstein Files

Aaron Parnas Feb 2

Good morning everyone. It was a very long night. I stayed up late reviewing additional Epstein files and what I found was both critical and deeply disturbing. Donald Trump is furious that the Grammys called him out and is now threatening to sue Trevor Noah. At the same time, the Department of Justice distributed child sexual abuse material to the public, including nude images of children, in a staggering violation of the law. New Epstein files also reveal fresh allegations involving Trump and other powerful, wealthy figures.

Because of the work I am doing to review and expose these files, I have become a target. The attacks have been aggressive, but they are not surprising. People close to this White House do not want the Epstein files to stay in the news cycle. They want silence. They will not get it.

I am not stopping. Not now, not ever. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has reached out with support and encouragement. It means more than I can put into words. If you want to help sustain this work and expand its reach, please consider subscribing or gifting a subscription. Let’s keep building this together and keep the truth in the light.

Here’s the news:

• Overnight, the Department of Justice took down another file that I sent to the DOJ where it failed to redact the faces of more than one dozen Epstein survivors. I have spent the past 24 hours emailing with the DOJ in an effort to remove files that have publicly identifying information of survivors. If the DOJ won’t protect the survivors, we have to.

• An Epstein file referencing an FBI presentation created after mid-2025 alleges that Jeffrey Epstein instructed an accuser to give Harvey Weinstein a massage, during which Weinstein allegedly demanded she remove her shirt and threatened to have others force her when she refused; the document also notes allegations involving Donald Trump and Prince Andrew. The full file is here.

• The Department of Justice redacted Donald Trump’s face in the Epstein files. At the same time, the DOJ failed to redact the faces, names, and other personal information of more than one dozen survivors. Here is the file the DOJ failed to redact Trump’s name in:

• An Epstein files release by the U.S. Department of Justice mistakenly published dozens of unredacted nude photos showing survivors with faces visible, prompting outrage from survivors and lawyers after The New York Times alerted officials. The images, tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal collection and properties, were later removed or redacted, but victims said the disclosure was deeply harmful and retraumatizing, citing broader, inconsistent failures to protect victims’ identities while shielding powerful figures’ names.

• An Epstein file suggests Jeffrey Epstein helped arrange a 2018 interview between Elon Musk and The New York Times, citing a message attributed to NYT financial reporter and Epstein associate Landon Thomas that praised the booking: “The Elon get was epic. You delivered!”

• An Epstein file contains messages claiming Jeffrey Epstein did not die by suicide and asserting links to a broader international case, stating: “Just heard about Epstein… we don’t believe it was suicide… you need to listen to what we have as evidence,” and adding, “This case… is most certainly connected to yours… Prince Phillip is small fry compared to what we have uncovered,” suggesting alleged proof of wider, more powerful figures being involved. Here is the full file.

• An Epstein file includes a line item reading “Quote for massage room walls in fur is $21,800,” documenting an expensive furnishing request tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s properties and adding to records detailing the lavish and unusual expenditures associated with his residences.

• ABC News has confirmed that lawyers for more than 200 alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein are asking federal judges to order the U.S. Department of Justice to immediately take down its Epstein files website, arguing that massive redaction failures exposed victims’ names, addresses, and financial details, including those of minors. The attorneys call the disclosure an “unfolding emergency,” saying thousands of errors in recent releases have caused ongoing, irreversible harm and harassment.

• Donald Trump harshly criticized the Grammy Awards telecast as “virtually unwatchable” and threatened legal action against host Trevor Noah after a joke linking Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, insisting he never visited Epstein’s island, denying any wrongdoing despite references to him in Justice Department files, and calling the remark false, defamatory, and grounds for a lawsuit.

• At the Grammy Awards, many of music’s biggest stars openly protested the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, wearing “ICE OUT” pins and using acceptance speeches to denounce U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, share immigrant family stories, and condemn recent enforcement actions and deaths—marking a stronger, more coordinated political stand than earlier awards shows and reflecting growing cultural backlash against mass deportations. This is what Bad Bunny had to say ahead of his halftime show at the Super Bowl this weekend:

• Mike Johnson is racing to prevent a prolonged partial government shutdown as Congress battles over funding and oversight of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. With backing from Donald Trump, Republicans are advancing a short-term funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security, while Democrats demand stricter limits on ICE practices such as ending roving patrols, requiring warrants, and forcing agents to identify themselves.

• A measles outbreak forced U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to halt all movement at the South Texas Family Residential Center, quarantining detainees after confirmed infections and intensifying concerns about health and safety for detained families, including children, amid a nationwide surge in measles cases and mounting criticism of the administration’s detention policies following high-profile arrests tied to immigration operations in Minneapolis.

• The Guardian has confirmed that construction has resumed on four major offshore wind projects after federal judges rejected efforts by Donald Trump’s administration to halt them on national security grounds, allowing nearly five gigawatts of clean energy—enough to power about 3.5 million homes—to move forward on the US east coast.

• A public health crisis is developing in Minneapolis as fear of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and federal enforcement in the Twin Cities has driven many residents — including U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents — to avoid routine and emergency healthcare, skip appointments, delay care, or rely on alternate services like home visits and telehealth.

• Israel has agreed to a limited reopening of the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt, allowing a small number of wounded and ill Palestinians to leave each day under joint security checks, offering modest relief after months of isolation as tens of thousands still await medical evacuation and broader ceasefire talks inch forward.

• Israel plans to seize and redevelop a large historic archaeological site near Sebastia in the occupied West Bank, prompting Palestinian outrage that the project—backed by far-right ministers—is a pretext for land expropriation and settlement expansion that would cut residents off from key heritage, tourism income, and olive groves.

• Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter after “seeing his shadow” during the annual Groundhog Day ceremony at Gobbler’s Knob, where tens of thousands gathered for the long-running tradition popularized by the film Groundhog Day.

See you soon.

THE CRIME OF CRIMES – A GENOCIDE

Based on Life-Long Provable and Invidious Evidence of Mr. Trump's Behavior

Elizabeth Graham Feb 2

Crimes against humanity are equally egregious as acts of genocide and warrant comparable condemnation. “No country has ever been held responsible for genocide,” (Wikipedia) but individuals who participated in the slaughter of millions of Jews were tried and convicted. In 2025, a new genocide commenced due to the atrocious and gruesome behavior of one man – Donald Trump.

Despite the carnage in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, Syria, and other nations and even in the face of the Trump administration’s apparent determination to dismantle what remains of the liberal international order, the human rights attorney Philippe Sands insists he is not giving in to despair. It’s too early to write-off the rules-based system or to write off the United States.” (NYT, Feb. 1, 2026, “The Crime of Crimes”, written by Michael Steinberger)

Only Rwanda and Bosnia have recently faced genocide charges, and I served as a consultant to both. I visited Rwanda in 2002 and Bosnia in 2003, witnessing the aftermath of two genocides. I am not a prominent human rights lawyer, but these countries, their people, and history have made a lasting impact on my own background and how I view the U.S. today.

In 1994, the full horror of racism in Rwanda violently killed about

800,000 people in three short months. This chilling tribal war pitted

Tutsis against Hutus. The scale and violence of this genocide were impossible to grasp. At the personal invitation of President Paul Kagame’s government, I traveled to Kigali in 2002 as a consultant. The lessons shared were not just about nonprofit management, income-generation concepts, micro-credit programs, disease control, small craft business development, gender-based violence, or orphan care – most of my past employment nonprofit experiences.

For me, these were personal lessons about the extremes of hatred and humanitarian crisis – and racial strife. As I danced with a large group of laughing young orphans in a sizable community thatched-roof hut on the dirt floor, I was sobbing. I wanted to share their joy while dancing to the rhythm of their ankle bells, their songs, and their other handmade musical instruments. Instead, all I could see were those children’s noticeable scars of war – some were missing a hand, an arm, an ear, a foot, an eye; others bore signs of brutality such as machete scars on their backs, stomachs, or even heads. My visceral reaction to those children’s injuries was an onslaught of throbbing and consuming grief – a learning experience that will never be forgotten.

The following year in 1995, the city of Srebrenica in Bosnia became the site of Europe’s worst massacre since World War II. The Serbian (Christian) army staged a brutal takeover of this small, intimate mountainous town and its surrounding region. Over a period of only five days, the Serbian soldiers separated the Bosnian (Muslim) families and systematically murdered over 7,000 men and boys in fields, schools, and warehouses. Overall, this ethnic cleansing war began in 1992 and lasted until 1995, with an estimated 250,000 killed and over 50,000 women raped – more rapes than any other recorded war. United Nations troops intervened to stop the slaughter. Bosnians do not like use the word “genocide,” but that is exactly what happened.

When this religious and ethnic war ended, the Muslim women of Srebrenica helped investigators find mass graves, identify victims, and fundraise for a memorial. In 2003, USAID and World Learning asked me to visit Bosnia to review Muslim women’s living conditions and suggest income-generation strategies. Many of their homes, now occupied by Christians, were legally theirs but returning posed challenges due to hostility and discrimination. Business ideas like mushroom picking, pasta production, and dairy failed because of safety threats or sabotage from local authorities. Ultimately, my recommendation was to establish a nonprofit craft business, producing hand-knitted goods, which is now successful in global department stores such as Harrods, Bloomingdales, and Neiman Marcus. Today the Muslim women of Srebrenica are still recovering the bones of their loved ones through DNA testing. Their immeasurable sorrow is never-ending.

Now the United States is among those few countries in history to create a massive genocide. Donald Trump, along with his buddy Elon Musk – a mutual friend to Vladimir Putin, officially shut down and dismantled the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in mid-2025, with the initial order dated January 24, 2025. This was only four days after Trump’s inauguration, so we know this was planned prior to his second term.

Mr. Putin, expelled USAID from Russia in 2012 over allegations of interference in domestic politics and backing opposition groups. The Kremlin saw USAID as a regime change tool and later praised Trump and its broader dismantling in 2025. USAID worked in 122 countries, and their contractual reports provided essential data that contributed to CIA intelligence sources. Putin knew this.

During the 1990s, USAID allocated over $1.4 billion (by 1994) to facilitate Russia’s transition toward a market economy and democratic governance. This support included assistance with privatization efforts, humanitarian aid, constitutional drafting, institutional development, and economic restructuring. Despite these initiatives, subsequent developments indicated that the anticipated changes in Russia were not realized. I lived in Moscow and then St. Petersburg during the 1990s. The West had an illusion of Russia as a friend and a democracy – Russia and Mr. Putin DID NOT.

Although Gorbachev engaged in diplomatic gestures such as shaking hands and signing agreements, by the mid-1990s, Russia was quickly and stealthily moving away from becoming a democracy. People often refer to the “end of the Cold War,” but it was merely a global deception. We are not experiencing Cold War II, but just an extension of the geopolitical rivalry between the United States and the previous Soviet Union – now Russia.

Vladimir Putin rose to power in Russia by serving as the Vice Mayor of St. Petersburg, Prime Minister under President Boris Yeltsin, then becoming Acting President after Yeltsin resigned in 1999. He won the presidency in 2000 amid calls for stability. He built his base through:

· St. Petersburg – the most corrupt city in Russia,

· Millions of dollars stolen from USAID and The World Bank,

· Transitioning the KGB to the FSB,

· Projected strength as leader – he created instability by bombing Russian apartment buildings (hundreds of Russians died) and blaming the Chechnya’s, then engaged in attacks on Chechnya – all a smoke-screen to look like he was stabilizing Russia – thousands of Chechnya citizens and soldiers died.

· Consolidated power by controlling oligarchs, media, Russian Organized Crime (ROC) abroad, and the government. He murdered a very long list of independent reporters, while other media fled the country. The ROC’s role in the United States was to enlist Americans as Russian Assets. They also provide: cyber-attacks, threatening phone calls, drug distribution, illegal gambling, arson/fires, and so on.

Donald Trump, a man without morals, was entrapped in a typical KGB lure of flattery, women/sex, and money. Prostitution is KGB-regulated and bounteous – used to lure western men. The Kremlin, churches, and theaters are all gilded in gold – just like the trimmings found in the Oval Office under Trump’s reign. And both Trump’s elder sons have bragged about receiving $100 million dollars from Russian banks – the same financial institutions that are all controlled by President Putin.

To quote Craig Unger a NYT bestselling author on Trump, “A relatively insignificant targeting operation by the New York KGB about 40 years ago to recruit an influential businessman as a new asset triggered a sequence of intelligence protocols that morphed into the greatest intelligence bonanza in history. There are significant and alarming incidences occurring in the United States proving Trump’s subservient relationship to Russia - far more significant and ominous than the American public might ever suspect.”

Trump closed USAID. Trump, Musk, and Rubio have all appeared before Congress and testified: “No one died due to the closure of USAID.” This is perhaps the second largest and most dangerous falsehood spread by the Trump Administration. The first lie is that he has “no connections to Russia.”

As of mid-2025, reports indicate that the suspension and subsequent dismantling of USAID by the Trump administration—which included cutting 83% to 90% of global contracts—has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths in developing nations, with a significant impact on Sub-Saharan Africa. An impact counter estimated that discontinuing USAID funding led to 62,557 adult deaths and 130,535 child deaths by mid-April 2025 - four months after Trump’s second term began. (The Lancet) “A modeling study assessing the potential effect of reductions in USAID’s disease-specific and health condition-specific programs project that, between 2025 and 2040, could result in an additional 15.2 million AIDS-related deaths, 2.2 million tuberculous deaths, and 7.9 million child deaths.” (The Lancet, “Evaluating the impact of two decades of USAID interventions and projecting the effects of defunding on mortality.”) Prior to the close of USAID, diseases were halted and controlled, maternity childbirth deaths were eradicated, and starvation across Africa was wiped out. (Ibid)

“The International Court of Justice (ICJ) defines genocide based on the 1948 Genocide Convention as specific acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. Key elements include proving specific, targeted intent to destroy the group, not just individuals.” (Wikipedia)

The New York Times, 6/27/2024, written by Jonathan Mahler and Steve Eder, “No Vacancies” for Blacks: How Donald Trump Got His Start and Was First Accused of Bias.”

“She seemed like the model tenant. A 33-year-old nurse who was living at the Y.W.C.A. in Harlem, she had come to rent a one-bedroom at the still-unfinished Wilshire Apartments in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood of Queens. She filled out what the rental agent remembers as a “beautiful application.” She did not even want to look at the unit. There was just one hitch: Maxine Brown was black. Stanley Leibowitz, the rental agent, talked to his boss, Fred C. Trump. “I asked him what to do and he says, ‘Take the application and put it in a drawer and leave it there,’” Mr. Leibowitz, now 88, recalled in an interview. It was late 1963 — just months before President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the landmark Civil Rights Act — and the tall, mustachioed Fred Trump was approaching the apex of his building career. He was about to complete the jewel in the crown of his middle-class housing empire: seven 23-story towers, called Trump Village, spread across nearly 40 acres in Coney Island. He was also grooming his heir. His son Donald, 17, would soon enroll at Fordham University in the Bronx, living at his parents’ home in Queens and spending much of his free time touring construction sites in his father’s Cadillac, driven by a black chauffeur. “His father was his idol,” Mr. Leibowitz recalled. “Anytime he would come into the building, Donald would be by his side.”

Donald Trump went on to build upon this prejudice throughout his career. He has deliberately started a death-spiral in Africa which is estimated to be killing Blacks at the rate of 103 an hour. (Ibid, The Lancet) He is deporting, Brown-skinned immigrants and his methods are discriminatory and lethal – thirty-two deaths in 2025 and eight shot in the first three weeks of 2026. (Brookings Institution) ICE has even arrested two native Americans in Tucson, AZ.

Combined with his closure of all DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs in government, businesses, and schools – Trump’s case shows solid evidence of his push toward “white supremacy.”

Unlike other mass atrocities, genocide specifically needs to show an intent to destroy a race or group based on a specific identity. Mr. Trump’s closure of USAID, while a plan probably originally generated by Mr. Putin, builds upon Trump’s life-long hatred of Blacks.

Trump’s Reign is Not Going to End Well

Tell Aramark: Plastic pollution is harming ocean life

Every minute, plastic waste pours into our oceans, harming wildlife, contaminating the environment and polluting fragile marine ecosystems. A lot of this pollution comes from single-use plastic packaging -- bottles, wrappers, bags and other food containers designed to be used once and then thrown away. One potential source of this waste is large food service providers like Aramark, which serves millions of meals at stadiums, arenas and museums across the country. That's why we're urging Aramark to lead the charge in lessening plastic pollution by cutting down on its single-use packaging. Will you tell Aramark to reduce its plastic footprint today? Plastic pollution doesn't just affect individual species. It undermines the very health of the ocean. Each year, literal tons of plastic enter marine environments, where it can persist for decades or longer.1 Once in the water, plastic breaks apart into smaller and smaller pieces, spreading through ocean currents and becoming nearly impossible to fully clean up.2 Worse still, marine animals often mistake this plastic for food.3 Seabirds swallow fragments that fill their stomachs and leave them starving. Sea turtles ingest bags that block their airways or tear their digestive systems. Whales and dolphins have been found with pounds of plastic packed tightly into their stomachs, making them unable to feed.4 An estimated 1 million marine animals die each year from plastic pollution and debris.5 Tell Aramark to stop contributing to plastic pollution by reducing its use of single-use plastic packaging. Despite making up just 4% of the global population, the U.S. produces about 12% of the world's trash. Much of it is unnecessary, disposable packaging that's used briefly before being discarded.6 Aramark has taken some steps to reduce its plastic footprint in the past.7 But we believe it can do even more to reduce waste and protect our oceans from plastic. For starters, Aramark can eliminate unnecessary single-use packaging. For packaging that's necessary, the company can also switch to recyclable and reusable materials wherever possible. With products in sports and concert venues across the nation, even small changes from Aramark could help set an industry standard and lead the way toward a cleaner, more sustainable America. Will you add your name and urge Aramark to further reduce its reliance on single-use plastic packaging today? Thank you, Lisa Frank Executive Director 1.
