Images from the Epstein files. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche defended missing the congressionally set deadline for the documents. He also denied defending Trump. But there was a notable deletion today that we can't quite explain, at least not yet. A spreadsheet containing unsubstantiated allegations made against President Trump and other prominent people. It was not immediately clear why it was removed. The spreadsheet was later returned to the site. So who knows? Joining us, deputy Managing editor of the Free Press, Jonah Serra and host of the Tara Palmieri show and author of the Red Letter substack, Tara Palmeri. Tara, first to you. A lot in there today, and that's, I know, an understatement, but I think it is notable that they had promised to. And this is why they said it took so long to redact identifying materials related to any of the women or the girls. But we were able, in just our initial cursory search, to find identifying details, including a driver's license that was partially redacted, but not entirely redacted. What does that say to you?

It's incredibly troubling. They have already missed the deadline, and it shows that they have very little respect for the survivors and their privacies. There's a reason why they're Jane Does. They do not want to disrupt their lives by being a part of the Epstein files. They are just. Not only were they victims, now their lives will be disrupted because of this. They have had enough time. They have already missed the deadline. And half of the files, we won't even see them. I mean, Todd Blanche admitted himself. He said, we collected 6 million and you're going to get 3 million. So what is in the other 3 million? We don't know.

It's really hard to search them, too. Oh, gosh. We just lost Tara. All right, Joe, it's you and me.
A (2:00)
Yeah, they went out of their way to make them as difficult to search as they possibly could. There's no question about that.
B (2:05)
Yeah. You called today's document dump a red herring. Explain.

Look, you're not going. What do we really want to find out? We want to find out who else was involved besides Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Which men were involved sleeping with underage women who were his accomplices. I mean, he had a lot of them, women who went out and found other women who were 14 or 15 years old and brought them to Epstein three times a day. Where are those people? The thing he said, well, you know, if there's evidence in the documents that would show that lead to some man we would obviously investigate, why aren't they investigating anyway? Why did they need those documents to show them that? It's just the documents are a way of saying, here, here's all this stuff, Good luck.
