| 0:00.0 | All right, everybody. Welcome to the Jim Acosta show. Coming a little earlier today on this Monday, but the reason why is because I have Tara Paul Mary with me. Tara, great to see you. And obviously, I mean, one of the reasons why I wanted to reach out to you is because you have been pretty extensively covering this Jeffrey Epstein case. And as you and I both know, I know you're overseas right now, but overnight, Axios reported |
| 0:22.8 | that the Justice Department and the FBI have concluded that they have no evidence that Jeffrey |
| 0:27.8 | Epstein, the convicted sex offender, disgraced financier, blackmailed powerful figures, kept a client list, |
| 0:34.9 | client list, or was murdered. They also released a video showing that nobody |
| 0:40.1 | entered the area of his prison cell, I guess, where he was the night he died in 2019. |
| 0:45.4 | I've always thought, Tara, that this was sort of like the whack-a-doodle, far-right, fringe |
| 0:50.7 | type stuff that people were focused on this and saying, oh, it's, you know, he was actually |
| 0:55.3 | murdered and he, you know, kept lists of all these prominent democratic figures and so on. And |
| 1:00.4 | it's interesting to see this news come out and now the far right saying we don't buy. I mean, |
| 1:05.6 | what do you, just to get started, what do you make of just the release of this information that we're seeing in the last 24 hours? |
| 1:12.6 | And now I'll get into all the other stuff. |
| 1:14.9 | Yeah, thanks for having me, Jim. |
| 1:16.3 | So I don't believe everything that they're saying. |
| 1:19.7 | And I did, you know, investigate this story for two years. |
| 1:22.7 | I worked with Julie Kay Brown, who was the executive producer of my podcast, broke in Jeffrey Epstein, and another |
| 1:28.7 | one, Power the Matswals. She wasn't the EP on the second one. But we, you know, we dug into |
| 1:34.3 | the actual files. And we spoke to the girls who testified, who were witnesses, they were deposed. |
| 1:41.2 | And, you know, there is a lot more evidence that the FBI has. If you look inside of the |
| 1:46.9 | vault, you can all look at the Epstein files on the FBI's website, the vault, it will take you |
| 1:51.3 | days and days or thousands and thousands of files. A lot of it is redacted. And, you know, I spoke to a |
| 1:58.3 | senior law enforcement source a week or so ago, and I asked them, you know, |
| 2:02.9 | what are you doing with the tapes, with what are you doing with the footage? |
