A few of us also looked at the full 20,000 document tranche, and it revealed that Jeffrey Epstein was pretty obsessed with Donald Trump.

There were emails about Trump's coming and goings to the airport in Palm Beach that affected Epstein's travel, but there were a lot of correspondence tracking Trump's rise to the presidency and mocking various scandals.

Epstein pitched himself as somebody who could help explain Trump to everybody from the Russians to other powerful people, and there were other emails in there.

that kind of raised more questions about their relationship.

For example, there was an email where Epstein said he had photos of Trump with girls in bikinis in his kitchen.

Trump, quote, almost walking through the door, leaving his nose print on the glass as women were swimming in the pool.

And reference to a girlfriend that, quote, after two years, I gave to Donald.

And another one that I think worth pointing out is an email Epstein wrote to former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers saying that, quote, I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump and, quote, not one decent cell in his body.

Well, there are these Department of Justice files that deal with the court cases and interviews and transcripts and other things that are completely separate from what the House has been able to get from Epstein's private files.

Those are the things that require...

extra effort and this sort of wrangling through Congress to get done because these were court cases, these were federal cases in some cases, and it is not just something as simple as saying, okay, release the files.

But it is confusing because there are these two separate but related tracks of information that all feed into this umbrella of this ecosystem about Jeffrey Epstein, what he did, when he did it, and who he's associated with.

Thank you.
