Episode notes
DOJ's Legal Duty To Release Epstein Files
- DOJ must release Epstein investigation files but may only redact victims' names, not alleged wrongdoers.
- Leah Litman stresses FBI interviewed one accuser multiple times, indicating serious credibility that shouldn't have been redacted away.
Missing FBI Interviews Point To Serious Allegation
- NPR used metadata to show more than 50 pages of FBI interviews about an accuser alleging Trump abused her as a minor are missing.
- Litman notes the accuser was interviewed multiple times and settled with Epstein's estate, heightening credibility.
Allegation Transforms The Nature Of The Scandal
- The allegations escalate the scandal from elite impunity to the president being an accused child rapist.
- Litman emphasizes the shift: it's not just enabling Epstein but an allegation Trump participated in sexual assault of a minor.
