Episode notes
Partial, Disorganized File Release
- The DOJ has released only a small, heavily redacted portion of Epstein-related files so far.
- That partial release fuels confusion because documents are disorganized and largely unreadable.
Released Docs Can Contain False Claims
- The public release includes unverified tips, forgeries, and fake videos that can spread false claims.
- The DOJ warned that release doesn't make allegations factual, worsening trust problems.
Monitor Congress, Documents, And Fallout
- Watch for congressional action on DOJ's missed deadline and over-redactions.
- Track what documents actually emerge and the political fallout as President Trump frames this as a hoax.
