A Jeffrey Epstein victim left behind many clues about who may have been involved in the sex trafficking ring.

The lead starts right now.

In her posthumously published memoir that hit shelves this morning, Virginia Jafray exposes details of the horrors she endured at the hands of Jeffrey Epstein,

his accomplice Galane Maxwell, and their very powerful friends, among whom were included a well-known

prime minister who beat and raped her, she said. Plus, in the New York City's mayor race, growing

calls from Republicans and moderate Democrats for the Republican nominee Curtis Slewa to drop out

and hopes his voters might then go to disgraced former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and block

a victory for Democratic Socialists, Zeran Mamdani. Will Sliwa consider this? I'll ask him. He's joining the lead live.

Plus, one of those January 6 rioters who President Trump pardoned just earlier this year

was just arrested on a charge that he threatened to kill the House Democratic Minority Leader

Hakeem Jeffries.

Welcome to the lead. I'm Jake Tapper. We're going to get to all of that in a moment. Right

now, President Trump is taking questions from journalists at the White House, so we're going to take a lesson.

Hello. taking questions from journalists at the White House, so we're going to take a lesson.

He's doing good, right? He's doing good.

And Mr. President, my question is, you had a great relationship with the people of India when you visited India and with the Prime

Minister of India, Marathon Bodhi, and also with the Indian American community.

Where do we stand today, all those relations from 45 to 47 in the future, Mr. President?

Please, thank you.

Well, we stand great.

And the people of India, I love the people of India, and we're working on some great deals between our countries.

I spoke to the Prime Minister Modi today, as I mentioned before, and we just have a very good relationship.
