| 0:00.0 | All right, welcome to the Jim Acosta show. |
| 0:08.0 | It's another day that ends in why in the Epstein gate coverup. |
| 0:12.0 | Trump said he would release the Epstein files. |
| 0:14.0 | That hasn't happened. |
| 0:15.0 | He's now claiming it's not unusual that his personal attorney is meeting with Epstein's |
| 0:20.0 | ex-girlfriend behind bars just before she was moved to a minimum security prison. Not unusual. Everything is unusual in how Donald Trump is handling all of this. And that's putting it mildly. My big guest for this hour is Senator Coogan. He is a personal attorney for several of the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. |

| 1:42.3 | victims were disappointed because the state attorney |
| 1:44.8 | refused to prosecute the case originally. Then the FBI picked up the case and promised them |
