Like, are we open on investigating Epstein?

And then it has a link to your story.

And then the person replies, yes, we're open as of today.

It's on the DL for now.

And so, you know, this is a guy that had been investigated many years prior, got out, was dormant for a decade.

And then you begin this series and it kind of starts this cascade, including the investigation that ends up getting him arrested.

I assume you knew all that at some level, but that was pretty remarkable to see.

And I'm just wondering if you could kind of take our listeners back before we kind of get into the new stuff to that period.

And like what was happening at that time that got you back into the story?

This was Katie Johnson.

Yeah.

And so if that's 2016, this article comes out in 2018, then there's a period of time that you, and also it's related with Alex Acosta as the person that's referenced in this initial story about who is the prosecutor in Miami gets appointed to the Department of Labor.

So it's Trump and Acosta.

And so you mentioned how you knew that there had been the other young girls that accused Epstein and had been victimized by him.

So then part of that like period is you're cultivating relationships with them.

Right.

Or with some of them.

Yeah.

I remember the last time we talked about this a couple of years ago, you said that like you were, you literally wrote some of them letters to try to get them to talk like handwritten letters.

And so I'm wondering then, as you start to talk to all those, I want to get to kind of present day and what we've learned in this latest batch.
