David, how much of your life is the Epstein files right now?

All of it?

David Enrich is an investigations editor at the New York Times.

Do you get some kind of special alert when there's a new release?

We have, oh my God, we have so many systems at the New York Times that have been built, like, for these releases that, yes, my, like, phone and computer explode, basically.

It was last Friday when David's phone exploded again.

That's when the Department of Justice dropped about three million pages

of documents into the cloud. You'll recall back in November, Democrats and Republicans

worked together to force the DOJ to release all they'd discovered about Jeffrey Epstein,

the country's most notorious sex criminal, probably one of the richest, too.

With this latest release, the DOJ says it has satisfied that demand.

The thing is, this 3 million pages is not even all they've got.

Yeah, I mean, they've said, I think they said that there was about half of them.

I remember as a kid, I would read like these, there was a book called like, how much is a million?

And it would be like a million like pennies and like a million pieces of paper.

It like reaches to the moon or whatever.

Three million is so much.

And it's impossible to read.

Basically when I think about your job, I think about you, like, putting on hip waiters and, like, diving into an ocean of sewage.

Yeah.

The Times has actually built its own proprietary search tool to sort through the sludge.

It doesn't just do a control F for specific words.
