About this listen
For months, President Trump has tried to dismiss questions about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, notably denying that he had been the author of a lewd birthday message to the financier and sex offender.
On Monday, Congress released the message — and many more like it.
David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor at The Times, explains how the book, and an investigation into Mr. Epstein’s finances, reveal how Mr. Epstein leveraged his rich and powerful friends to fund a yearslong criminal conspiracy.
Guest: David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York Times.
Background reading:
- A House panel released the drawing for Mr. Epstein apparently signed by Mr. Trump.
- A Times investigation found that JPMorgan spent years supporting — and profiting from — the notorious sex offender, ignoring red flags, suspicious activity and concerned executives.
