There's the possibility that Thomas and I are talking to in Congress to build a bipartisan coalition to say, look, it's not just these three interviews that concern Donald Trump. There has been now reporting that ninety survivor statements have not been released just by a review of these files. And we're not even talking about the redactions. They just have not produced these things.

The House Judiciary Committee held a hearing on Wednesday entitled Oversight of the U.S. Department of Justice, at which Bondi lashed out at Democratic members and repeatedly bristled when members reclaimed their time. Bondi had a binder full of prepared jabs to attack members whose questions angered her, and advisers assisting her in the effort. Bondi's prep material was even revealed to include tracking information on what searches Democrats performed during onsite reviews of unredacted Epstein documents at the Department of Justice.

"I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well," Roan wrote. "No artist, agent, or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values." The "Good Luck, Babe!" singer said she respected and appreciated staff at the agency but that the decision reflected her "belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust."

One of the emails, with the subject line "bill," suggests that Bill Gates had requested antibiotics for a sexually transmitted disease to "surreptitiously" give to his now ex-wife, Melinda French Gates. Another email said Boris had helped Bill Gates "get drugs," and helped facilitate "illicit trysts" between the billionaire Microsoft founder and "Russian girls" as well as "married women."

Earlier this month, the House Oversight Committee made public more than 20,000 pages of documents from the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's estate. The documents were released as thousands of individual text files, images, and scanned PDFs, a monumental trove most wouldn't have the time or patience to sift through. But what if you could navigate the source documents as easily as you do your inbox? That was the thinking behind Jmail, a Gmail-style interface for accessible browsing of Epstein's released emails launched Friday by Kino CEO Luke Igel and software engineer Riley Walz.

A congressperson investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case accused the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, of hiding from his committee's request to sit for a deposition, as Congress moves closer to a key vote on forcing release of US government files related to the alleged sex trafficker. Suhas Subramanyam is among the Democratic members of the oversight committee in the House of Representatives who earlier this month asked Mountbatten-Windsor to sit for a deposition as part of its investigation

This week, Emily Bazelon, John Dickerson, and David Plotz discuss why Democrats caved to end the government shutdown and what comes next, the affordability crisis with guest and editorial director for New York Times Opinion David Leonhardt, and the importance of this week's spectacle of competing Epstein document drops. Here are some notes and references from this week's show: David Morgan for Reuters: US House to vote on deal to end longest government shutdown in history

I feel a tremendous sense, a profound sense of sympathy for those people, those women, who suffer as a result of his behavior and his illegal criminal activities, Mandelson said. And secondly, I regret very, very deeply indeed, carrying on that association with him for far longer than I should have done. Mandelson insisted during the interview that he never witnessed any wrongdoing during trips with Epstein, including on the billionaire's private jet.

House Oversight Democrats/XHouse Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) in a statement accompanying the release of Epstein documents that the convicted sex offender's estate turned over to the panel criticized Democrats for "cherry-picking documents and politicizing" the information.
