The Epstein story dominated headlines — until the Iran war changed the news cycle.Investigative journalist Nick Bryant has spent 14 years digging into Jeffrey Epstein, and he says there are still major questions surrounding the case, the government’s handling of it, and what remains missing from the public record.In this interview with Arn Menconi, Bryant discusses the release of millions of pages of Epstein-related files, why he believes media coverage of the story faded, and what he found when his own name appeared in the newly released documents.We also discuss Epstein’s powerful connections, alleged intelligence ties, political blackmail, the people Bryant believes deserve greater scrutiny, and his call for an independent congressional investigation into the Epstein case.What is still missing from the Epstein story — and why did the public conversation go quiet?00:36 — Why the Epstein Story Disappeared From the News04:51 — Who Is Being Protected in the Epstein Files?08:18 — The Fight to Release the Remaining Files11:28 — The Moral Horror Behind the Epstein Files15:40 — What the Evidence Says About Epstein's Crimes18:08 — The Alleged Bipartisan Cover-Up20:59 — Trump, Epstein & the Allegations29:34 — Epstein, Intelligence & Political Blackmail36:13 — Why Bryant Wants an Independent Epstein Commission48:24 — Can the Right and Left Unite Over Epstein?53:09 — “Do We Deserve a Democracy?”56:24 — Political Blackmail Has Been Around for Centuries58:02 — The Franklin Scandal & Epstein Connection01:01:00 — Seymour Hersh, Intelligence & Epstein01:04:27 — Why Epstein's Network Matters TodayLinks to Arn Menconi's work:https://substack.com/@arnmenconihttps://x.com/ArnMenconihttps://arnmenconi.netTo Support Nick Bryant's work: https://epsteinjustice.com/#Epstein #JeffreyEpstein #NickBryant #EpsteinFiles #TheDeepFocusShow #ArnMenconi #InvestigativeJournalismEditorial note: This interview presents the views, analysis and allegations of the guest regarding the Epstein case and related individuals and institutions.
