Episode notes
Emails Suggest Shared Knowledge About Crimes
- Epstein's emails suggest shared knowledge between Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump about Epstein's activities.
- Murtaza Hussain says the intimacy of their communications makes Trump's ignorance difficult to believe.
Strategic Coordination Around Trump's Answers
- Exchanges with Michael Wolff hint Epstein and associates strategized how Trump should answer questions about their relationship.
- Hussain says those messages are suggestive of planning and potential use of compromising information.
