| 0:00.0 | While the convicted felon president is running around getting triggered by escalators and teleprompters, all of this is a distraction because he will not release the Epstein files. |
| 0:16.1 | He won't release them because one could only deduce from it per per Elon Musk, he's cancles deep in the |
| 0:22.7 | middle of said Epstein files. And today I'm so happy to welcome to IHIPP News, investigative journalist |
| 0:31.3 | Julie K. Brown, she's known for her investigative reporting for the Miami Herald that exposed the global sex trafficking |
| 0:39.7 | operation of Jeffrey Epstein and the failures of the justice system to hold powerful men accountable. |
| 0:47.9 | Julie, welcome to IHIP News. How are you? |
| 0:51.8 | I'm good. Thanks for having me. |
| 0:53.4 | So this is like, this is such a, |

| 2:02.4 | What Epstein did was he plugged into lawyers that all had connections. |
| 2:08.6 | He plugged into defense attorneys who all had connections to either Acosta or one of the line prosecutors in his office. So he plugged into their buddies, in other words. So he hired |
| 2:21.3 | Kenneth Starr, for example. He hired a guy by the name of Jay Lefkowitz, who was with Kirkland, |
