Nick Bryant

Nick Bryant is a journalist and author whose work over three decades has focused on the plight of disadvantaged children in the United States. He spent seven years investigating a child sex trafficking network for his book The Franklin Scandal: A Story of Powerbrokers, Child Abuse, and Betrayal. He is the co-author of Confessions of a DC Madam: The Politics of Sex, Lies, and Blackmail and the author of The Truth About Watergate: A Tale of Extraordinary Lies and Liars. He acquired Jeffrey Epstein’s address book in 2011, seven years before the case broke nationally, and after more than three years of rejections from mainstream outlets published it, together with the passenger logs from Epstein’s jet, on Gawker in 2015.

On the Julian Dorey Podcast he connected the black book to the Franklin scandal, Lawrence King and Craig Spence, the DC Madam, Watergate, and the push for an independent commission on the Epstein network.
