A new tranche of Epstein records is out — and the names inside are bigger, the denials louder, and the questions harder to dodge. Today we break down how Donald Trump appears in the latest Epstein files, what the documents do and do not prove, and how major media outlets are parsing the evidence — from victim counts to internal government debates over charging co-conspirators.
We also dig into the most disturbing elements of the release, including the government’s publication of explicit evidence, newly revealed victim data, and emails mapping Epstein’s inner circle. Plus: fresh reporting on Elon Musk, reactions from his family, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s planned trip to Epstein’s island, and explosive emails alleging Epstein scouted women for New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch. We close by walking through the original DOJ source files themselves — separating verified facts from speculation, spin, and outright lies.
