12 NOV 25 SITREP

• Newly surfaced emails showed Jeffrey Epstein trying to link himself to Donald Trump in 2011 while Ghislaine Maxwell responded with apparent awareness of ongoing investigations. Testimony from Virginia Giuffre later confirmed Trump had no involvement in Epstein’s crimes.
• A 2015 exchange revealed Epstein coordinating with author Michael Wolff to exploit the coming election cycle by feeding rumors and shaping narratives around Trump for political leverage.
• In 2019 Epstein again referenced Mar a Lago implying contact and claims that Trump asked Maxwell to stop certain behavior though missing context suggested deliberate editing by those releasing the emails.
• Further findings tied Epstein to former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and intelligence figures who stayed at his New York residence while building a back channel to Russia during the Syrian Civil War indicating intelligence and financial overlap behind his operations.

• Federal officials announced a plan to issue two thousand dollar payments to working and middle class Americans funded entirely by tariff revenue instead of new taxes.
• The administration argued that tariffs have generated trillions in returns which would now reduce the thirty eight trillion dollar national debt while protecting U S industries.
• The debt was framed as a national security threat and tariff policies were described as essential to maintaining independence from foreign economic control.
• Leadership emphasized that the ongoing White House renovation including a new ballroom was privately funded showing donor backed modernization instead of taxpayer spending.

• Venezuela began extensive nationwide military drills under the command of President Nicolás Maduro named Independence Plan 200 mobilizing air naval and ground forces.
• The operation was announced shortly after confirmation of a larger U S Navy presence in the Caribbean involving the USS Gerald R Ford strike group and supporting aircraft patrols.
• Venezuelan officials described the buildup as a direct response to what they call an imperialist threat while highlighting participation of both armed forces and the Bolivarian militia.
• Regional intelligence analysts see the exercises as both a deterrent signal to the United States and a domestic attempt to project control amid economic crisis and unrest.
