So when this big batch of Epstein files came out in late January, do you remember where you were?

I was really sick in bed, trying not to work, actually.

That's our colleague Emily Glazer, who writes about the rich and powerful,

including about people with ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

And I got a call from Kadeja Safdar, who is our lead reporter on all things, Epstein.

And she's like, oh, my God, you won't believe it.

And I was like, not really that with it.

I'm like logging into these files, kind of like little like out of it. And then I was just like,

oh my gosh. And so I became obsessed. Every night, I'd log in after my son went to sleep.

And I would spend like hours searching different things to see

what I could find. So in your past time, you're just spending hours and hours reading the Epstein

files. Okay. In fairness, my husband was on a work trip. And so I literally like each night, I would

stay up for a couple of hours just reading through it and

finding new things. And I started to create a timeline. And my editor, this poor guy, I'm just

constantly messaging him with like this and that and that.
