  Speaker 1: the Front's afternoon headlines, What did Donald Trump know about

  Speaker 1: the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and when? New emails between Epstein,

  Speaker 1: a convicted child sex offender, and his girlfriend Gillan Maxwell,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: plus an author Michael Wolfe, have been released by Democrats
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: in the United States. They don't suggest any wrongdoing by Trump,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: who has always denied knowing about the crimes of his
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: longtime friend, but the newly released emails include a twenty
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: eleven claim from Epstein that Trump quote spent hours at
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Epstein's house with someone whose name was redacted. Congressional Republicans
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: and the White House have identified that person as Virginia Dufrey. Gufrey,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: who died by suicide earlier this year, is a principal
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: accuser against Epstein, Maxwell and their friend Andrew Mountbatten Windsor,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: the former Duke of York who's been stripped of his
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: status as a prince in the way of the publication
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: of her memoir. Giuffrey met Gilen Maxwell while working at
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Mara a Lago, the Florida resort owned by Trump. In
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: her memoir, Giuffrey does not outline any sexual encounters with Trump,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and in fact says Trump shunned Epstein and ended Epstein's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: membership of Mara a Lago in two thousand and seven
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: after Epstein hit on the teenage daughter of another member.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: His White House spokesman Caroline Leavitt, responding to the release
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: of the emails.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: These emails prove absolutely nothing other than the fact that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: President Trump did nothing wrong. And what President Trump has
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: always said is that he was from Palm Beach and
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: so was Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein was a member at
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Mara Lago until President Trump kicked him out because Jeffrey
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Epstein was a pedophile and he was a creep. In
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: this email, you refer to with the name of a
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: victim that was unredacted now and has since been reported
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: on in this room. So I will go ahead and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: say it Virginia Guffrey. And it was CBS's own reporting
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: WIJA that recently wrote that Miss Guffrey maintained, and God
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: rest her soul, that she maintained that there was nothing inappropriate.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: She ever witnessed that President Trump was always extremely professional
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: and friendly to her, And so I think it's a
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: question worth asking the Democrat Party and you should all
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: go ask them after this briefing of why they chose
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to redact that name of a victim who has already
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: publicly made statements about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: is unfortunately no longer with US.

• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Letters from lawyers representing the Commonwealth and also purporting to
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: represent Reynolds gave Higgins an extension of time to commence
