Hey, everyone. We've got breaking news on Jeffrey Epstein. I'm Sarah Longwell, publisher of the

0:05.5

Borg. I'm here with Andrew Eger. Andrew. We've got emails that have just been released by

0:12.4

the Epstein Estate. They went to the House Oversight Committee, and they're pretty intense

0:18.9

emails. In fact, one of the stories headlines I saw was, you know, these emails raise new questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein and the victims. To me, these emails answer a few questions about Trump's relationship with Epstein and the victims. Let me just read a couple. This is the first

0:38.5

email. It's on April 2nd, 2011. It is two. Gislein Maxwell from Jeffrey Epstein. I want you to realize

0:46.7

that that dog that hasn't barked is Trump. Victim, redacted, spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned.

0:57.2

Police chief, et cetera, I'm 75% there. And then to Jeffrey Epstein from Jisland Maxwell said,

1:49.2

So, yeah, absolutely.

1:50.9

And not only, so they're saying, there are exchanges about how it's weird that he hasn't been pulled in, but they explicitly say then in the email that a victim whose name is redacted spent hours at my house with him,

2:03.3

meaning Trump at Epstein's house with a victim.

2:09.7

Okay, this goes all the way back to 2011.

2:12.2

Then you get to the second email, which, and this is where it gets sort of bizarre, I mean,
