DOJ Identifies UAE Sultan Behind “Torture Video” Epstein Email

Representative Thomas Massie has identified Emirati businessman Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem as the recipient of the “I loved the torture video” email from disgraced sex predator Jeffrey Epstein. The sultan’s name was initially redacted.“A sultan seems to have sent this,” Massie said Monday evening, after viewing the unredacted files. “DOJ should make this public.”Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche quickly replied to Massie. “You looked at the document. You know it’s an email address that was redacted. The law requires redactions for personally identifiable information, including if in an email address,” he said. “And you know that the Sultan’s name is available unredacted in the files.”Blanche’s post was hit with a community note that disputed his reasoning.“The Epstein Files Transparency Act allows redaction of PII only in very narrow circumstances, such as an unwarranted invasion of privacy or the risk of jeopardizing a federal investigation,” it read. “It is unlikely the cited email would meet that criterion.”As Massie concluded, Blanche “tacitly admitted that Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was the sender of the torture video.”Sulayem is currently the chairman and CEO of DP World, an international logistics company worth billions headquartered in Dubai.The public version of the email, dated April 24, 2009, shows Epstein messaging someone, “where are you? Are you ok, I loved the torture video.”That person responds back, “I am in china I will be in the US 2nd week of May.”It is unclear what the nature of the “torture video” Epstein refers to is. But given just about everything else we know about him, it’s hard not to imagine that this is exactly what it looks like, if not worse.The DP World executive had a rather intimate correspondence with Epstein.“This girl is russian father Cypriot mom I met her two years ago she goes to t=e American university in Dubai,” Sulayem wrote to Epstein in September 2015, in another email that identifies him by name. “She got engaged but now she back with me. The best sex I ever had amazing body.”There are also multiple receipts from the sultan for a 23andMe test and a 2012 dinner invitation to Epstein’s home.Neither DP World nor Sulayem have publicly commented.

Kid Rock Offers Bizarre Defense for His Sad TPUSA Performance

Country music rapper Kid Rock is still trying to convince the public that his bad lip-sync job was a great performance.The MAGA musician went on Fox News Monday in a fruitless attempt to salvage the national reception of his set from the night before, when he headlined Turning Point USA’s version of the Super Bowl halftime show. During the prerecorded performance, Kid Rock’s mouth regularly did not match the booming voice coming from the speakers.“There were a lot of questions about what happened during your first song onstage. People were talking about it. It seemed to be a little bit out of whack. What was going on there?” asked host Laura Ingraham.“Yeah, so it was out of sync,” Rock said, apparently blaming Turning Point’s events production team for delaying his allegedly live vocals. He then announced that, in order to prove the “haters” wrong, he was planning to do another set in his Nashville living room with a DJ not only to prove he can he sing but to showcase how a delay can happen live.“Because number one, if it would have been a lip sync like people are trying—like the left is trying to throw me under the bus again, the mainstream media, the social media trying to amplify it—it would have been super easy to sync it up if it was prerecorded,” Rock continued. “It was very difficult for the Turning Point production crew—who, by the way, I can’t say enough good things about.“It was just a syncing issue that they have, and I know they tried to get it right, it was very difficult,” Rock insisted. “But I’ll answer all the haters tomorrow, and we’ll put ’em back in the ‘shut up and go back trying to report the fake news.’”Kid Rock: If it would have been lip syncing… it would have been super easy to sync it up if it was prerecorded pic.twitter.com/LyWnGFJVHe— Acyn (@Acyn) February 10, 2026Droves of viewers caught on to Rock’s bad lip sync Sunday, likening his vocal talent to famed fakers Ashlee Simpson and Millie Vanilli. Others claimed that Rock’s set was “worse” than one of Frankie Valli’s cashed-out 2024 performances, in which the “Sherry” singer hardly moved his mouth at all.Just a fraction of the country actually watched the conservative-funded alternative to international phenomenon Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show, however. Early estimates reported that while 128 million Americans tuned in to watch Bad Bunny rap in Spanish, just 6.1 million people streamed Turning Point’s option on YouTube.
