And Turning Point USA's jam-packed and at times contentious AmFest wraps up with a bang.

Thanks for waking up with Morning Wire.

Stay tuned.

We have the news you need to know.

The Justice Department has begun publishing thousands of pages of material tied to its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, but the rollout has sparked immediate controversy with claims of heavy redaction and missing files.

Joining us with the latest is Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham.

Hey, Megan.

So a lot of people pouring over all of these files that were just released.

First, can you walk us through what exactly has been released so far?

So some new material, but no blockbuster client list then?

Let's talk about the high profile names involved.

Both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump have long been linked to Epstein socially.

They both appear in these files.

What's the context there?

Regarding Bill Clinton, I'm sorry to tell you the reason that Bill Clinton's picture is in the Epstein files is because this has always been a story about Bill Clinton and not Donald Trump.

But we should note there has been a lot of criticism of files disappearing from the website, hundreds of pages fully redacted.

What's the explanation from the administration for that?

We'll certainly be keeping an eye on that.
