Thousands of pages of newly released emails between Jeffrey Epstein and his associates have put the convicted sex offender’s relationship with President Trump back in the spotlight.

Guest:

David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York Times.
Michael Gold, a congressional correspondent for The New York Times.

Background reading:
