I'm going to play the voice note, which is from Sarah.
So I want to take those one at a time, actually, because there's a fair bit to unpack there.
Firstly, a quick reminder.
In 2007, Madeleine McCann disappeared at the age of three during a family holiday in Portugal and has never been found.
On the first point, yes, Madeleine McCann's name does appear in the Epstein files.
Her name comes up in a few FBI tip-offs submitted by members of the public.
These include an email suggesting FBI investigators look into a Portuguese abuse scandal called Casa Pia.
In connection with the orphanage Casa Pia, a journalist states that it is a known fact that American millionaires were flying into Portugal on private jets for the purpose of sexually abusing these children.
This might be a line of inquiry that you may wish to follow up yours truly.
A little bit about Casa Pia.
It's a state-run children's home in Lisbon.
In 2010, six Portuguese men were jailed after they were found guilty of sexual abuse there.
I want to say tip-offs.
We've spoken about this before.
Tip-offs can be submitted by anybody.
We do not know if they were investigated or followed up.
We did not know if they were found to be baseless or if something came of it and then went away.
We literally have no details such as the way that the Epstein files were released.
I know that's frustrating.
