Summary
The Department of Justice has until next week to produce several emails and documents with the names of potential Epstein co-conspirators revealed. An independent journalist sued the DOJ to have access to the blacked out names, saying the government is still trying to protect “the very powerful and the very rich.” The ruling states the DOJ has to either produce the unredacted document by July 2nd or explain why the redactions should not be removed. Among the group of documents ordered released, the FBI notes from the unverified allegations of assault by one woman against Trump.

| 0:55.5 | act, so that we could find out if anyone was being protected, if anyone powerful, anyone |
| 1:01.0 | rich, anyone who had been protected now has to be revealed. That was the whole point of this, |
| 1:07.3 | right, to see if anyone else, any co-conspirators with Epstein should be held accountable. |
