Episode notes
Epstein Files Reveal Withheld Child Allegation
- Newly released Epstein files include an allegation from a now-adult woman who said she was raped at 13 and accused Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump.
- Adam Schiff highlights DOJ withheld 40,000 documents including FBI 302 interviews and restricts congressional review to pen-and-pad visits that hamper oversight.
DOJ Review Setup Discourages Oversight
- The Justice Department's review process for members of Congress is intentionally obstructive: searches are logged, downloads banned, and note-taking is the only allowed record.
- Schiff argues this design dissuades effective oversight and may enable hiding evidence and retaliating against investigators.
Demand Structural Drug Price Reform
- Don't accept superficial drug pricing fixes that look like marketing; demand structural change in how drugs are regulated and priced.
- Annabelle Gurwitch compares EU cross-border coverage to the US fragmented state-by-state system as a better model.
