WEBVTT - Trump and Epstein: the new emails

0:00:01.560 --> 0:00:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Today's biggest news from The Australian. I'm Claire Harvey with

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the Front's afternoon headlines, What did Donald Trump know about

0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and when? New emails between Epstein,

0:00:14.240 --> 0:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>a convicted child sex offender, and his girlfriend Gillan Maxwell,

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>plus an author Michael Wolfe, have been released by Democrats

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 1>in the United States. They don't suggest any wrongdoing by Trump,

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>who has always denied knowing about the crimes of his

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>longtime friend, but the newly released emails include a twenty

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:37.040
<v Speaker 1>eleven claim from Epstein that Trump quote spent hours at

0:00:37.040 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's house with someone whose name was redacted. Congressional Republicans

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>and the White House have identified that person as Virginia Dufrey. Gufrey,

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>who died by suicide earlier this year, is a principal

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>accuser against Epstein, Maxwell and their friend Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 1>the former Duke of York who's been stripped of his

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.880
<v Speaker 1>status as a prince in the way of the publication

0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>of her memoir. Giuffrey met Gilen Maxwell while working at

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Mara a Lago, the Florida resort owned by Trump. In

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:13.639
<v Speaker 1>her memoir, Giuffrey does not outline any sexual encounters with Trump,

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>and in fact says Trump shunned Epstein and ended Epstein's

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>membership of Mara a Lago in two thousand and seven

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.759
<v Speaker 1>after Epstein hit on the teenage daughter of another member.

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>His White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt, responding to the release

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.520
<v Speaker 1>of the emails.

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.800
<v Speaker 2>These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 2>always said is that he was from Palm Beach and

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 2>so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at

0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>Mara Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 2>Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep. In

0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 2>this email, you refer to with the name of a

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>victim that was unredacted now and has since been reported

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 2>on in this room. So I will go ahead and

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.680
<v Speaker 2>say it Virginia Guffrey. And it was CBS's own reporting

0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>WIJA that recently wrote that Miss Guffrey maintained, and God

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 2>rest her soul, that she maintained that there was nothing inappropriate.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 2>She ever witnessed that President Trump was always extremely professional

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>and friendly to her, And so I think it's a

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 2>question worth asking the Democrat Party and you should all

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 2>go ask them after this briefing of why they chose

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 2>to redact that name of a victim who has already

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>publicly made statements about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:30.799
<v Speaker 2>is unfortunately no longer with US.

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Documents obtained by The Australian have revealed how the Federal

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>government prevented former Liberal Minister Linda Reynolds from properly defending

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>herself against the allegations made by her former staffer Brittan Higgins.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.800
<v Speaker 1>Letters from lawyers representing the Commonwealth and also purporting to

0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>represent Reynolds gave Higgins an extension of time to commence

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>her claim for a settlement, which ended up being two

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>point four million dollars. Reynolds alleges this was against her

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>in instructions and done without telling her. That exclusive is
