The O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) on Friday dropped another jaw-dropping undercover video.
This time, we captured a top Justice Department official who has worked at the agency for 23 years, openly admitting the fix is on the Epstein client list.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Joseph Schnitt, DOJ Acting Deputy Chief at the Office of Enforcement Operations, was caught spilling the beans by an undercover agent from OMG.
OMG reported:
“They’ll [DOJ] redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files, and have a very slanted version of it come out… without really seeing any of their bad behavior,” admitted Joseph Schnitt, Acting Deputy Chief at the Office of Enforcement Operations for the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), on hidden camera to an undercover OMG journalist. Schnitt confirmed that the government is in possession of an extensive trove of Epstein-related documents but warned that any release would be politically manipulated.
Schnitt admitted that “There’s thousands and thousands of page-open files,” and further described how the department would handle disclosure of the material: “If they’re released in any way, it’s going to be very redacted.”
He further revealed new information regarding Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. “She got transferred to a minimum security prison,” Schnitt said, despite her conviction as a sex offender. “It’s against BOP policy because she’s a convicted sex offender. And they’re not supposed to get minimum security prisons, which is an interesting detail because she’s getting a benefit, which means they’re offering her something to keep her mouth shut.”
Schnitt also revealed internal conflict within federal law enforcement over the release of said files. “The head of FBI [Kash Patel] really wants to… second-in-command [Dan Bongino] at FBI has been causing problems, because he’s like, ‘No, these [Epstein Files] have to be released.’ He added, “The FBI wants them out. The top two guys that will do it. But they work for Bondi, so… Bondi wants whatever Trump wants. Internally there’s a lot of conflict.”
Despite public assurances that the government has been transparent, Schnitt admitted that nothing substantive has been revealed: “Whatever they’ve released has already been publicly released anyway, so they haven’t released anything new. Even though they were the ones that were claiming that they were going to release everything.”
Within hours, the Department of Justice struck back, distancing itself from Schnitt’s comments. In a statement to OMG, DOJ said Schnitt “had no role in the Department’s internal review of Epstein materials,” and insisted his comments were “based only on what he learned in the media” and had “absolutely zero bearing with reality.”
“Joseph Schnitt had no role in the Department’s internal review of Epstein materials. He has confirmed as much to leadership and we plan to publish his written statement to that effect when we have it. In his own words, the comments Mr. Schnitt made were based on “what he learned in the media” and he “has no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding
Ms.Maxwell other than what was reported in the news. These comments have absolutely zero bearing with reality and reflect a total lack of knowledge of the DOJ’s review process. The DOJ is committed to transparency and is in compliance with the House Oversight Committee’s request for documents.”
In a follow-up letter to his superior, Acting Director Jeffrey Pollak, Schnitt insisted he had been targeted on a dating app by a woman he did not know was a journalist, and stressed that he never discussed DOJ work but only repeated what was already reported in the press.
“I met a woman named Skylar on Hinge, a dating app, in July 2025, her profile is no longer findable. We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had I a clue, the first date would have ended immediately and there never would have been a second one.
My profile indicated I did “Government” work but did not specify for which agency. I never discussed what do at DOJ.
The comments I made were my own personal comments on what l’ve learned in the media and not from anything l’ve done at or learned via work. I have no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding Ms.
Maxwell other than what is reported in the news. I also never divulged anything about what I do at work. I recall that she asked if I had any knowledge about Maxwell and I specifically said I only know what’s been reported in the media.”
he still needs to be terminated....
good job O’Keefe and co.
He wasn’t at school the day they had the lectures about good sense.
LOL!
When you are DOJ Deputy Chief you don't talk shop on highly confidential matters on a first date with some Tinder babe
It's kind of basic
“They’ll [DOJ] redact every Republican or conservative person in those files, leave all the liberal, Democratic people in those files, and have a very slanted version of it come out… without really seeing any of their bad behavior,” admitted Joseph Schnitt,
Calling BS on this. Not sure if it’s the report that’s BS or, if he said that, it’s BS. A document with nothing but Dem names in it along with many other obviously GOP names redacted would be DOA. Would only raise the ire of both sides. Liberal and conservative, that is. RINO’s would be happy with it because they’re stupid.
We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had I a clue, the first date would have ended immediately and there never would have been a second one.
Too late, now, Joseph Snitch.
if he is not terminated immediately,
each of those above him belong in GITMO
with loss of their homes ... and liberties.
Some of that, many of us already knew or suspected.
Bongino wants the ‘files’ out. Bondi says she does not, mostly b/c she’s working with what the president wants.
Most U.S. Atty. Gen do the same, working closely with their Boss, the president.
Prediction:
Our good friend Dan Bongino may follow through on his choice to either leave the FBI and Trump Admin completely, or he may request another branch of the justice system to work in.
This may happen after the President completes his first full year of his second term. Waiting, to minimize disruption.
Patel? I don’t know what to think, except perhaps he makes a point of not airing his grievances to those he works with.
Different than most members of the Trump Team.
whether his claim is true or not, Joseph Schnitt absolutely should be terminated toot sweet ...
So he’s admitting what everyone pretty much knows, BOTH sides of the aisle are in those files
At least he wasn’t found on Grindr.
I guess the moral of the story is to never talk about work before you really know who you are talking to. But these folks are so desperate to get laid, they try to make themselves sound important.
Idiots.
“We had two dates (August 4 and August 16). She claimed to be an au pair in Georgetown. She gave no clues that she was a reporter or recording our dates. Had I a clue, the first date would have ended immediately and there never would have been a second one.”
“Golleeee, if’n i’d a known she wuz one o’ them thar reporter persons, i woulda kept my mouth shut.”
awwwww, wuz you lettin yore lil head out think yore big head?
Trying to impress some chick he thought was hot.
That’s exactly what it was.
And for context, who talks about such things on a date? ANY DATE?.....................
Someone with 23 years and at that level in the DOJ discussing that stuff with a stranger they met on a dating app? OMG is doing the work that the FBI should be doing to weed these big mouths out. Claiming to be targeted is not a defense. How many other unauthorized disclosures has he made in his 23 years there?
I hope Bondi called him into her office for a little chat.
Sounds like this dude is about to lose his job. If what he said was true, he should come out as a whistleblower. If what he said is based on media-generated gossip and just his opinion, then he should be marked as politicized and removed.
Doesn’t matter what the truth is. The narrative carries the day. Entangling Trump is the goal, Fake but accurate (Dan Rather’s method)
MAGA demands actual facts and supporting evidence.
