Who and what are in the Epstein files?

The latest drop of the files names more powerful people with ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

We鈥檙e talking about the final release of the Epstein files today.

Three million pages, 180,000 images and 2,000 videos were posted by the US Justice Department last week. Apparently, if you piled them on top of each other, it would be twice as high as the Eiffel Tower!

It can all get a bit overwhelming about what and who exactly is in them. But that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e gonna explain in this episode.

Some of the names include: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, Donald Trump, Bill Gates and Bill Clinton. Being named in the documents does not mean you鈥檙e guilty of any wrongdoing and those named have denied any knowledge of what Jeffrey Epstein was doing.

To get more background, listen to our episode on Epstein from before the files were released: /sounds/play/w3ct73xn
