Summary
The FBI has declared there is no client list linked to Jeffrey Epstein—an announcement that pours cold water on years of speculation about a secret roster of powerful figures tied to his sex trafficking crimes. But what does this mean for Ghislaine Maxwell, who remains behind bars for her role in Epstein’s network? Ian Maxwell, British businessman and brother of Ghislaine Maxwell, responds to the FBI’s statement and argues that his sister’s conviction was the result of a deeply flawed trial. Ian describes Ghislaine’s harsh prison conditions, her ongoing legal battles—including a possible Supreme Court appeal—and maintains that she is innocent, determined to clear her name, and still paying the price for Epstein’s crimes.

| 1:13.1 | Today we are going to be talking about Jeffrey Epstein because on Sunday night, the FBI and the Department of Justice, |
| 1:19.0 | that's Donald Trump's FBI and his Department of Justice, release statements saying that, in fact, |
| 1:25.3 | there had been no client list of Jeffrey Epstein. That client list refers to the rich and powerful people. It's thought that Jeffrey Epstein had somehow |
| 1:28.1 | compromised through his sexual crimes against young women and girls. And it also said |
| 1:35.7 | that there was no evidence to suggest that Jeffrey Epstein had not killed himself. |
| 1:42.5 | These allegations have been met with quite a lot of suspicion from within Trump |

| 1:52.1 | the director of the FBI, campaigned on the fact that they were going to expose the Epstein |
| 1:59.0 | list, the Epstein files, and suddenly Sunday night |
