## What Did the Leaked Recording Reveal?
Among thousands of **Epstein case-related files** released by the U.S. Department of Justice, a recording surfaced in which Epstein and Barak discuss **Tony Blair's** massive annual income. Barak stated that Blair "probably earns around $11 million a year from the government of Kazakhstan alone," in exchange for advice and assistance in lobbying NGOs and the United Nations.
## Provocative Comments and Mysterious Implications
The recording showed **suspicions about Blair's financial arrangements**. Epstein questioned where the large sums paid to Blair were going, saying, "I hear huge numbers being given to Tony... Tony is not making $30 million a year." Barak added, "Maybe he gets the money and leaves some for others, perhaps for some service providers."
## Blair's Activities After Premiership
After leaving office in 2007, **Tony Blair** founded "Tony Blair Associates," a company that provided consulting services to numerous governments and international entities. The company was closed in 2016, after which he established the "Tony Blair Institute for Global Change" as a non-profit organization.
## Controversial Deals
**The Guardian** newspaper had previously revealed that Blair's company signed a consulting deal with the Kazakh government in 2011, shortly after the re-election of former President Nursultan Nazarbayev. This deal aligns with what Barak mentioned in the leaked recording.
## Connections with Epstein
Blair admitted to meeting Epstein once at **Downing Street** during his premiership. His spokesperson confirmed the meeting occurred long before Epstein's crimes were known and his subsequent conviction.
## Significance of the New Leaks
