Trump flips on the Epstein files and is America First America only the future of right politics. We'll discuss all this and more on this edition of the editors. I'm Rich Lowry and I'm joined, as always by the right, Honorable Charles C.W. Cook, the good neighbor Noah Rothman and the sage of authenticity woods. Jim Garrity, you are of course.

We should point out that these are documents related to both Jeffrey Epstein and

Giselaide Maxwell.

You may recall that Maxwell was at a low security facility in Florida.

Then the Department of Justice, the Assistant Attorney General,
