What you didn’t know about the Epstein files

Podcast cover

The Story

The podcast explores the recent release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and the varying reactions in the UK and the US. It highlights the resignations of key political figures in Britain due to their connections with Epstein, contrasting it with the relative silence and political polarization in America, despite President Trump's frequent mentions in the files. Josie Ensor, Chief U.S. Correspondent at The Times, discusses the ongoing investigations, key redactions in the files, and the potential for further revelations. The conversation also covers Ghislaine Maxwell's refusal to testify without clemency, upcoming testimonies from figures like the Clintons and Les Wexner, and the enduring questions surrounding Epstein's wealth and potential foreign ties. The podcast further examines the victims' perspectives and the potential for legislative changes to address the statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases.
