I know people don't like it.
But that's not our job is to find, you know, Nancy or to whatever crime we're trying to solve.
or to find evidence or to find the the suspects or the criminals that's what our job is and unfortunately it hurts feelings along the way we're not in the business of good optics and a lot of what we do and so i've always said that i thought that the family is the most and what leads me to believe that is familiarity in a very dark area of where the camera was well about you know
where the house is located in and around those windy roads, how long they were in the house.
There's a lot that goes into that.
Yeah, so analysis of millions of documents that were just recently released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act that was signed by Trump in November.
The FBI apparently found insufficient evidence that Epstein was operating a sex trafficking ring that involved other wealthy or influential
So these media reports do say that documents indicate that photos and video seeds during the investigation do reveal abuse by Epstein and longtime confidant Ghislaine Maxwell.
But while these files confirm Epstein sexually abused underage girls, there was not enough evidence to prove that he supplied minors to other powerful men.
Basically, feds couldn't find enough evidence for federal charges despite referrals to local law enforcement about allegations of abuse.
Now, to be clear, these conclusions are based on media reporting of newly released DOJ and FBI documents, like internal memos, and the DOJ has not independently issued a statement confirming these findings.
Yes, some politicians and commentators, they say that there are just far too many redactions and not enough of these documents have been released.
Both Democrat Ro Khanna and Republican Thomas Massey, they've voiced these concerns.
They want to know if redacted or unreleased documents contain any client lists or other information about Epstein's
working on behalf of a foreign government or intelligence service.
The DOJ says that many documents just could not be released to the public for a number of reasons, including victim privacy.
Here's Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch explaining.
Blanche did say that members of Congress could look at material that has been redacted.
Massey and Khanna did just that on Monday and then spoke to the press.
Here's Massey.
