Nothing like a Christmas Eve Eve news dump. Today we got yet another document dump in the ongoing release of the Epstein files. And a few things remain true. And we've gone through our amazing team here at MSNOW has gone through a lot of this as much as they can. I mean, one, despite a legal requirement based on a law that was passed, again, remember this, with near unanimous support to release

0:21.8

all the relevant documents by last Friday, only a fraction of that material is available as of yet,

0:26.9

even after the news dump today. Two, the Justice Department continues to redact vast swast of

0:32.5

information, and in many cases those redactions don't seem to have logical explanations, really at all.

0:38.7

And we'll talk about that.

0:40.2

But despite all of that, this batch probably, of the batches, had the most new information about Jeffrey Epstein, his criminal enterprise,

0:49.4

and the many attempts to hold him accountable.

0:52.5

Now, perhaps the biggest bombshell in today's dump of files is this

0:55.6

July 2019 email exchange between DOJ officials, suggesting that investigators were looking at

And that's, of course, Galane Maxwell.

1:14.1

But in this email exchange, the names of most of those suspected co-conspirators are redacted.

1:19.5

And it's really not clear why, especially because the law mandating the release of these files

1:25.4

does not allow redactions on the basis of embarrassment,

1:28.7

reputational harm, or political sensitivity.

1:32.3

I mean, the whole reason so many people have demanded the release of these files was to expose

1:37.7

the people who participated in Epstein's crimes without consequence.

1:43.0

And there may be even more information on potential co-conspirators

1:45.7

that the Justice Department is still holding onto. I mean, another email that appears to be from

1:50.4

a federal prosecutor in New York reveals the existence of a seven-page memo on, quote,

1:56.2

co-conspirators we could potentially charge. The email also mentions an apparently updated 86-page co-conspirator memo that appears to have
