Joining us for more is Bloomberg's 206 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 4: DC Breaking News Editor Alexander Pearson. Alex, great to have 207 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: you with us this morning. I wonder if you're expecting 208 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 4: more news to break on the Ebstein files into the 209 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 4: new year and what we've learned, if anything new, from 210 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 4: the thousands of documents that have come out thus far. 211 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning, Nathan. 212 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 11: Yes, So yesterday we had the second batch of files. 213 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 11: There were tens of thousands that were released as part 214 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 11: of that batch, and most notably about them was the 215 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 11: fact that President Trump was mentioned a lot more in 216 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 11: the second batch than he was in the first batch 217 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 11: that was released last week. Naturally, a lot of those mentions, 218 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 11: you know, were awkward for the president. There was one 219 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 11: record that showed he'd actually taken flights on Jeffrey Epstein's 220 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 11: private jet in the mid nineties. That's something that President 221 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 11: Trump has previously denied ever having done. And there were 222 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 11: some other documents that also, you know, did not shed 223 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 11: a good light on him in terms of, you know, 224 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 11: what we could expect from here. 225 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 2: That dupontent. 226 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 11: Justice has said that there are more files that have 227 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 11: not yet been released that they're still reviewing, So this, 228 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 11: you know, is probably not going to go and way 229 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 11: away anytime. Soon, especially with a lot of people demanding 230 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 11: that those files be released as soon as possible. 231 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: And we've heard the frustration aired by the President about 232 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 4: some of the photos being released as well, saying that 233 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 4: it's tarnishing reputations to be pictured next to Jeffrey Epstein 234 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,800 Speaker 4: and all that coming out as well. How is this 235 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 4: affecting the president politically? What could it mean for his 236 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 4: base that these that these documents continue to roll out. 237 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's certainly very awkward for the President concerning 238 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 11: is base, given that you know, for a long long 239 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 11: time they've been demanding that these files be released and 240 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 11: had actually been you know, voicing that despite his attempts 241 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 11: earlier in the year to try and you know, or 242 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 11: to not order the release of those files, eventually, Congress 243 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 11: you know, pressured him into doing so by passing this 244 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 11: law that required the Department of Justice to release the files. 245 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 11: But certainly, the fact that the that the Justice Department 246 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 11: hasn't released all of the files by the deadline that 247 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 11: was set, that we're still seeing new batches coming out 248 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 11: is very awkward, given actually that a lot of you know, 249 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 11: people in the in the mega base would like to 250 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 11: see every file come out full transparency, and it you know, 251 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 11: the President and his and the White House seems to 252 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 11: be sort of dragging their feet a little bit on 253 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 11: doing that. 254 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 4: While we continue to watch the Jeffrey Epstein matter unfold, 255 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 4: we've seen a pretty rare moment at the Supreme Court, 256 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: a setback for President Trump when it comes to one 257 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: of his National Guard deployments. 258 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,439 Speaker 11: That's right, yesterday, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump administration's 259 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 11: attempted deployment of the National Guard to Chicago, which is 260 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 11: quite notable given that it's sort of the first really 261 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 11: major legal setback for him. Other courts had blocked other 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 11: deployments for the National Guard to other cities, but this 263 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 11: comes from you know, the highest court in the land. 264 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 11: And yeah, they basically said that he, you know, his 265 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 11: administration were invoking a statute that did not allow for 266 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 11: that deployment. And so this latest decision really, you know, 267 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 11: does cast a bit of doubt over whether President Trump 268 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 11: will be able to continue trying to deploy the National 269 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 11: Guard in other cities, or whether he might try to 270 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 11: pursue other legal avenues to doing so. 271 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: This is Bloomberg day Break, your morning podcast on the 272 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 3: stories making news from Wall Street to Washington and beyond. 273 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: Look for us on your podcast feed by six am 274 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: Eastern each morning, on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere else you listen. 275 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 3: You can also listen live each morning starting at five 276 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 3: am Wall Street time on Bloomberg eleven three to zero 277 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 3: in New York, Bloomberg in ninety nine to one in Washington, 278 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 3: Bloomberg ninety two nine in Boston, and nationwide on serious 279 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: XM Channel one twenty one. 280 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 4: Plus listen coast to coast on the Bloomberg Business app 281 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 4: now with Apple CarPlay and Android auto interfaces. 282 00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: And don't forget to subscribe to Bloomberg News Now.
