Trump PANICS as Epstein Witness SCREWS UP Hearing Testimony!!!

[0:00] if you're leon black the disgraced founder of apollo global management you'd think the revelation [0:07] that your 160 million dollars that you pay jeffrey epstein a convicted child sex trafficker probably [0:15] went to continue to fund his international child sex trafficking ring you'd think the revelation [0:21] that you settled with 20 different women about having sex outside your marriage and allegations [0:30] of abuse to the tune of 20 million dollars you'd think that would make you a little bit chastened [0:37] right you think that make you so you wouldn't have your hackles up you wouldn't be all piss and [0:40] vinegar when you came into the house oversight committee hearing about the epstein victims and [0:45] you think that coming in there ready to attack the committee instead of to give proper testimony [0:51] it would not have immediately foundered on the non-disclosure agreements that you signed with [0:57] 20 different women and made 20 million dollars worth of payouts uh you'd think you'd probably [1:04] sit back in your chair and give your testimony but not if you're leon black not if you think you're [1:09] the master of the universe one of the titans of wall street and finance and the financial community [1:15] and he walked out but now he's gonna have to come back with a subpoena under oath to give [1:22] testimony we hope it'll be live and no we don't believe your crocodile tears and your hollow [1:29] comments in your opening statement that you feel sorry for the victim the victims of jeffrey epstein [1:36] there are many women who accuse leon black of sexual abuse as well i'm michael popock let's get to [1:43] the next uh the next round of developments in the epstein matter now the house oversight committee is [1:50] still doing its job even though it's led by maga like uh uh james comer and leon black who is who [1:58] left in disgrace from the company he founded apollo global management there was a full investigation by [2:05] a law firm there about what the 158 million dollars was for and they said oh he was cleared it was [2:11] related to tax advice are you kidding me t he ran apollo he needed to hire a former school teacher who [2:20] nobody ever heard of to give him tax advice as part of personal wealth management is anybody believing [2:28] that and the working theory of the house democrats is that leon black overpaid for whatever services he [2:38] might have obtained from jeffrey epstein that may have been legitimate but that he overpaid for it [2:44] to fund the other nefarious issues and nefarious relationships with women and maybe girls which [2:53] would explain why such a large check was was uh stroked for epstein now the whole meeting behind closed [3:03] doors went awry and he marched out during the meeting leon black did because they started to ask [3:11] questions hard questions including the republicans about non-disclosure agreements see non-disclosure [3:17] agreements are the contract of choice for people who are doing bad things primarily to women and girls [3:22] because they'll do the bad thing the sexual abuse the rape and then they'll try to pay off the victim [3:29] and have them sign an nda now those ndas have been on occasion held up by courts sometimes they're struck [3:37] down depends on how much consideration was paid for instance in one particular case involving uh leon [3:45] black that epstein was involved with a former russian model named gozel uh uh gun gun eva again eva [3:54] sorry she was paid nine million dollars for her nda now the questions that leon black didn't like and [4:01] led him to walk out included who was involved with the nda was this an epstein blueprint did he direct [4:10] you to do it did he guide you on how to do it because there's enough information in the epstein [4:16] files the three million pages we've been able to see that strongly suggests that epstein was advising [4:24] leon black about his extramarital affairs or sexual abuse particularly there is documents within [4:34] the epstein file about epstein advising leon black about what to do with miss ganieva and to scare her [4:42] by sending scotland yard or the irs or fbi get some sort of agent to go knock on her her door and scare [4:52] her see that's right out of the epstein playbook when he was uh being when he was indicted and as he went [5:01] to trial for the one thing he was convicted of before he hanged himself in disgrace down in florida [5:08] his lawyer alan dershowitz was running around according to reporting of julie k brown in the [5:14] miami herald was running around trying to intimidate victims i'm talking about girls and young young women [5:22] intimidate them accuse them of of it being a transactional that that they were willingly [5:30] participating and took the money i mean he still says this stuff out loud by the way in recent [5:36] reporting you can hear um alan dershowitz epstein's former lawyer saying things exactly like that [5:46] so epstein looks like in the files that he's guiding leon black about how to make these troublesome [5:54] stubborn little facts about his extramarital affairs and abuse of women how to make them go away [6:01] and erase them now you know why he showed up but of course we'll show the b-roll here marched right [6:07] out here's him literally leaving um without continuing his testimony according to representative [6:15] garcia the ranking democrat he stormed out in fact here's representative garcia talking about what he [6:21] just observed uh uh i just want to add that i actually want to say i completely support uh chairman [6:33] comer's decision here i think that mr black is not answering questions about the ndas the ndas are [6:40] central to us understanding what actually happened there are real accusations and there are survivors [6:47] who have accused mr black of horrific things he gave jeffrey epstein approximately 150 million [6:53] dollars and still do not know for what and so to issue subpoenas for those ndas and the documents and [7:00] also for mr black to appear under oath answering questions and on video is incredibly important [7:06] so i just want to add that i completely support the chairman completely support this this decision [7:12] and it's a way of getting all the information can you talk to like the unprecedented nature of this [7:17] i mean we've heard from you guys during these closed doors to the point where you had to come out [7:24] there's no question that as soon as this interview started um that the witness was not going to answer [7:32] critical questions i mean when you have when you're asking ask questions about ndas uh that that relate [7:39] directly to women and possible abuse and you're unwilling to answer questions i think we got to [7:45] elevate this and the reality is is that mr black was unwilling to have an important important [7:50] conversation other democrats on that committee have said about the same thing and they're demanding [7:55] and they have they've accomplished it that leon black come on back and sit down in the chair [8:00] and be sworn in see the the uh the balls and the narcissistic megalomaniacal uh streak in these men [8:11] that thinks they can get away with it and because of their power and their influence and their wealth [8:16] and their money and their connectivity to donald trump they think they can come in there and just [8:22] unzip their pants and pee all over the oversight committee and walk out and i got news for them [8:28] that's why god invented contempt of congress that's without testimony he better i know his lawyers are [8:35] saying it was a political stunt to bring up the nda it was legitimate and fair questioning about epstein's [8:41] involvement with a major cover-up of sexual abuse and extramarital affairs for leon black plain and [8:49] simple maybe if he had paid him a dollar for tax services we wouldn't feel the same but when it's [8:54] already been reported and and it has not been discredited that leon black paid epstein 158 [9:01] million dollars who do you think was paying for that high flying jet setting child sex trafficking [9:07] lifestyle with leon black on the island and on the plane and in the emails see this is the this is the [9:16] coterie of rich and famous that were ringed around epstein that he used on a regular basis and leon black [9:22] try to get out from under it by declaring well i knew mr i knew i didn't know doctor i knew dr jekyll [9:30] sorry i almost got the story wrong i knew dr jekyll but i didn't know mr hyde come on come on you knew [9:36] the guy for 20 years you partied with him you ran with him you chased girls and women with him he [9:46] guided you on how to make bad facts that you did go away you paid tens of millions of dollars at his [9:56] request according to one theory you paid epstein 160 million dollars to fund and fuel his criminal [10:05] behavior is predatory behavior and then you have the balls to walk out on america and on the victims [10:13] and the survivors how dare you we're going to continue to follow it all right here very closely [10:18] he's coming back everybody july 17th that's going to be a very busy week july 15th todd blanche who [10:27] wants desperately and he's willing to do and say anything that donald trump tells him to to be the [10:32] attorney general of the united states that's the first day of his confirmation hearing the 15th and the [10:36] 16th 17th is now going to be leon black come on back for your epstein testimony and let that be a [10:44] lesson to anybody else that things are going to come in there and crap all over the halls of congress [10:49] and not give
