1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Now, the longest shutdown in United States history is over.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: Congress's voted to end it. Trump assigned the paperwork. But

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,399
Speaker 1: Trump's got a new problem. Emails have been released proving

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: he is in the Epstein files. Bo Ericsson as rout

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: as US politics correspondent high Bo. Hello, Now what we've

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: seen in these emails doesn't look particularly incriminating for Trump, doesn't.

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: So there were a lot of emails released today by Democrats,

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 2: and that is important to note because it is a

9
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: political act of releasing these emails. It is from the

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 2: opposing party of President Trump. He's with the Republicans. These

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: are from the Democrats. And so when we are looking

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 2: through some of these emails today, there are some, you know,

13
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: maybe more juicier tidbits. But it's important to note that

14
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: there is a lack of contact with a lot of

15
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 2: these emails. Or it's not immediately clear what Epstein or

16
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: Glene Maxwell, his girlfriend who is now serving a twenty

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: year prison sentence trying to facilitate these sex crimes. It's

18
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: not really clear what they are talking about. So the

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: White House is saying that this is a political stunt,

20
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: but the Democrats are moving forward on another procedural process

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: as well.

22
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: So Bo, probably the most incriminating thing is the email

23
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: that said redacted persons spent hours at my house with

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: him being Donald Trump, and that would be Virginia Giuffry apparently.

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: But Virginia Giuffray has herself said Donald Trump did nothing wrong.

26
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: So even the most incriminating thing is not particularly incriminating, is.

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 2: It, Yes, And that is what Republicans are really latching

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: on to today. This story definitely has gotten a lot

29
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: of tension in the United States. We have members of

30
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: Congress who are just wrapped with going after this subject.

31
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: But it is also not new that President Trump knew

32
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Epstein. That has been out in the ether. What

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: is new is this kind of drip drip drip of

34
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: just some of these emails. You know, there also is

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: a question about some type of credit here. This is

36
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: Epstein and some of these emails, seeing some pretty gross things,

37
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: trying to almost rationalize some of his crimes. And you know,

38
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: there is another person involved in these emails and an American

39
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 2: author whose work has really been questioned by an independent

40
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: journalist for years.

41
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: Oh, you'll be talking with Michael Wolf. Okay, Bo, listen,

42
