Hey, everybody. I'm Alison Gill, host of the Daily Means podcast. Welcome to The Breakdown. Thanks to Midas Touch for hosting this show. I have some exclusive of breaking news. No one has seen this yet. It's regarding the Epstein files. Now, the FBI has admitted that it has in its possession training videos instructing analysts at the FBI on how to redact the Epstein files.

They have admitted that they have them.

Now, you'll recall multiple anonymous sources who participated in reviewing the Epstein files at the FBI and DOJ confided in me late last summer that in addition

locked the entire information management division in the building, wouldn't let them leave.

And that's where we get the number of at least a thousand people reviewing the Epstein files,

because IMD wasn't really trained or certified on how to redact things for publication.

So they had to create, the FBI had to create these training videos.

And apparently, some of them specifically told them how to use an Excel spreadsheet

to log Trump's name, the page number, and the document.

Now, at this time, the existence of the training videos was not known to the public.

So I held on to that information for literally minutes so my lawyer could file a Freedom of Information Act request
