The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

So I have the cover story in next month's TNR.

The Epstein Files almost certainly contain further evidence that Trump sexually abused children. His coalition is already in various stages of fracturing. He’s in a very weak position.
