We have major developments regarding the Epstein files at this hour. Some people say I talk about Epstein too much. I say I don't talk about it enough. And today we finally have action. Finally, after months and months and months since the Epstein files were released, people are being held accountable in the United States of America. And well, you need to know about it, because while the Trump Justice Department continues to conceal, hide, and prevent the full release of the Epstein files, preventing survivors from getting justice, the New Mexico Attorney General is stepping up. He has currently the only ongoing criminal investigation into Epstein's co-conspirators in New Mexico as it relates to the Zoro Ranch property. And today he announced a major civil enforcement action that the White House was taken aback by and was reportedly not too happy about, because the White House wants to conceal all of this, doesn't want further action regarding Epstein. But the New Mexico Attorney General really isn't listening right now. So if you can, make sure to subscribe, support this work around the clock. Make sure to like, comment, share. Let's talk about what happened in New Mexico today.
Raul Torres, the New Mexico Attorney General, announced a civil lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein's longtime personal attorney, Darren Indyk, and accountant Richard Khan. The lawsuit, which is the first law enforcement action against these two men, alleges that the two men helped facilitate, finance, and conceal Epstein's sex trafficking operation, which includes the abuse of girls and young women at Zoro Ranch in Santa Fe County. The lawsuit also names the estate of Jeffrey Epstein and the 1953 trust, which holds the assets of the estate. It was filed in the US District Court for the District of New Mexico today. It alleges that Epstein ran a sex trafficking enterprise that Indyk and Khan knowingly participated in, using their positions and Epstein's accounts and companies to finance and conceal the abuse. The state brings claims under the Federal Trafficking Victims Protection Act and the New Mexico Racketeering Act, which authorized the attorney general to seek relief for those harmed.
In a statement, he says, quote, "Jeffrey Epstein did not operate alone, and his death does not end the pursuit of accountability for the people who helped make his crimes possible. The allegations in this lawsuit describe a network of people and financial arrangements that helped sustain and conceal the abuse of vulnerable girls and young women, including here in New Mexico. Those who allegedly enabled this exploitation should not be allowed to profit from it while survivors continue to live with its consequences." The complaint alleges that Indyk did far more than provide routine legal and accounting services. Both held leadership roles in the Epstein-related entities, managed financial accounts, and authorized transactions connected to the trafficking operation.
For example, Indyk handled the transfer of the Zoro Ranch title to a company Epstein controlled. It also alleges that the men personally profited from their relationship with Epstein. Indyk received more than $16 million from Epstein and related entities between 2011 and 2019. Khan received more than $10 million. They're also both beneficiaries of the 1953 trust and co-executors of Epstein's estates. They continue to manage and distribute the assets. The state is asking the court to prevent Indyk and Khan from receiving estate payments while the case proceeds. The estate is currently valued at more than $107 million. And according to the complaint, Indyk and Khan are eligible for bequests of $50 million and $25 million, subject to the availability of funds.
Zoro Ranch is central to the allegations. The complaint describes the property as a place where Epstein and his associates recruited, transported, isolated, and sexually abused girls and young women for more than two decades. The lawsuit is asking the court to, quote, number one, prevent payments from Epstein's estate to Indyk and Khan while the litigation proceeds, restrict their ability to authorize and receive estate payments, declare that they engaged in racketeering and trafficking activities in violation of state and federal law, and require them to divest Epstein-related interests and restrict certain future investment activities. Based on what I understand, the White House was rattled by this, because they didn't want further action on Epstein, and yet it's happening in real time. And today, Vice President Vance was protested about Epstein. Take a listen to what happened.
He would bring us back to the highest inflation in 40 years. He would invite thousands of criminals pouring over the southern border each and every...
It's called the pedophile protector, and thrown out. And today, Todd Blanche was asked about his relationship with, and this — this is revealing.
So there was this misperception that there's this separation and independence between the Department of Justice and the White House, and everybody likes to champion that, and they accuse me of not suffering from independence. I don't. I work for President Trump, but they did too. They did, too. So this idea that Garland was just on his own making decisions independent of what the Biden administration wanted him to do is not true. And by the way, I'm not being critical of that. What I'm being critical of is the lie that he was independent.
So there's no independence anymore at the Justice Department. Makes everything make a lot of sense. I spoke with Unice Layer, who's running for Congress in South Carolina, a blue dot in a red state. I want you to take a listen to what she had to say. Before I do, a quick word from our sponsor.
Election day is literally right around the corner. These elections are the most important elections of our lifetime. And I have made it my mission on this channel to make sure that you have the full ability to go and make your voice heard, to go vote at the polls. There's so many critical issues right now that are going to impact so many Americans. No matter where you are, there is an important election on the ballot. And every one of the decisions that we cover on a day-to-day basis was made by someone who won an election. So hold on to that. The people who get to decide this, well, they're on the ballot on November 3rd. And you need to make sure that you can make your voice heard. So what do you do to actually do that?
Pull up VoteE. It's free, it's nonpartisan, and most importantly, it never sells your data. I've used it and I think it's great. It'll allow you to check your voter registration, find your local polling place, show you your ballot ahead of time so you can educate yourself before you even get into the voting booth, and then it'll text you when it's time to vote. It's powered by NextGen America, and it's truly amazing because it's not selling your data like Elon Musk does. It's not trying to acquire your information for nefarious reasons. That's not it. And I've used this, which is why I'm trying to tell you about it. It helps you literally just go and make your voice heard. The link is in the description and pinned in the comments. Make your plan before you close this tab. It is so important.
Now, my conversation with Unice. Excited today to be joined by Unice Layer, who's running for Congress in South Carolina's third congressional district. Now, I hear the President of the United States is coming to your district today. Do you have a message for him?
Yes. He's making it harder to live in South Carolina and the US. He's raising our costs, and we're tired of him.
What do you say to a Republican voter in your district about why they should vote blue for maybe the first time ever? Because South Carolina's third is one of the most deep red districts in the country.
It is a very conservative district, and the county that he's coming to, Pickens County, is one of the most conservative counties. So your costs are going up, voter, and the reason is the government starting a war in Iran, raising your costs by giving tax credits to billionaires. I'd like to see your taxes go to you to do things like lower the cost for housing, child care, college, healthcare, and so on.
Have you been speaking with Republicans and independents in your district who maybe have said, "Well, in the past, I was voting Republican. I was voting for Lindsey Graham. This time around, though, I don't know. I may be voting for someone different"?
Yes, I've talked to a number of Republicans who are going to vote for me. One of them said to me, which I thought was interesting, "I'm voting for you because you're honest."
I think the other reason Republicans are voting for Democrats is because there's so much corruption right now, politicians lining their pockets. My opponent is incumbent Sherry Bigs. And you can see, first of all, she lives in a $7 million home on the lake near here. And secondly, you can see how she's made money last year as the tariffs went up and down on the stock market. That's prevalent. Obviously, Trump's lining his pocket. And so people can see their tax dollars are going to politicians and billionaires and not to them. And they want change, and they trust me and others they've gotten to know, like Annie Andrews, who's running for Senate. Both of us, both Annie and I, are healthcare providers. So we understand why the healthcare system is so expensive, and how much money is going to insurance companies, and simple ways to change that.
On your website you say that you are going to save the South Carolina we love. What do you mean by that?
I'm running largely because I believe we need to take care of the earth. Upstate South Carolina, where I live, is beautiful mountains. We also have an ocean, and we need to take care of the earth. We're not doing that very well. We're not making polluters pay. We're rolling back the EPA, so the water — where I live, there's a lot of water sports — occasionally there's algae things, and it makes it impossible to use the water. So I want to have the laws that protect our air and water that were developed in the 70s be stronger, as well as put up renewable energy so our electric bills go down. So I want to protect the earth, not just for the next two years when I'll be elected, but for seven generations from now.
What do you mean by running for many, not the money? Do you mean you're trying to get money out of politics? What does that mean?
Some people are running for the money, but I'm running for the many people. So, to represent you, I've heard so many stories — for example, people who lost their home because they got cancer. And I care about those people. And working one-on-one as a social worker isn't enough. I want to work for the systems and change them, make healthcare work, make college affordable, get child care in every little town — my district is largely rural — and make it available to everybody. So I'm not running to make money or to help billionaires. I'm running for the people.
