What Donald Trump and “Everyone” Knew About Jeffrey Epstein

Об эпизоде

<p>In January, the Justice Department released over three million documents, including many redacted e-mails, related to Jeffrey Epstein. “Should we share the Julie Brown text with Alan [Dershowitz],” Epstein wrote in one note to a lawyer. “She is going to start trouble. Asking for victims etc.” Brown’s reporting on Epstein for the Miami <i>Herald</i>, and her revelations about the federal plea deal he received, had an enormous impact on public perception of Epstein and his ties to Trump. Brown joins David Remnick to discuss the latest tranche of redacted e-mails, which show, as she <a href="https://www.miamiherald.com/news/politics-government/article314631578.html">reported</a>, that Trump knew about his friend’s crimes far earlier than he has admitted.
