| 0:00.0 | For more on today's vote, I'm joined now by an attorney representing multiple survivors of Epstein's abuse. |
| 0:06.6 | That's Spencer Coven. Spencer, welcome to the show. Thanks for joining us. |
| 0:10.6 | Thank you for having me today. |
| 0:11.5 | So you've been representing Epstein survivors for nearly two decades. I think it's fair to say this moment has been a long time coming for you and for them. |
| 0:20.5 | Just give us a sense of what you're hearing |
| 0:22.7 | from your clients about this moment and how they're feeling right now. Well, first of all, |
