A new dossier was on the table in Washington on Friday when Democratic members of the House made public Jeffrey Epstein's daily schedules from the years 2014 through 2019, documents requested from the estate through a subpoena. And in which appointments and intended meetings with Elon Musk, Peter Thiel and commentator Steve Bannon surfaced, with no record of whether those appointments actually took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The documents add a historical detail to an already fraught story, as the same package reveals that Britain's Prince Andrew flew on an Epstein aircraft in the year 2000. This is a fact that further colors previous coverage of travel during that period, while spokespeople for those involved did not provide substantive comment or take the publication for knowledge. Politically, it is mostly a chapter about transparency and timing. Democrats say the Justice Department is withholding too much and promise to continue their investigation. And Republicans speak of selective disclosure and promise to publish more widely once victims' names are shielded, giving life to the debate over who exactly determines what the public can see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Current FBI Director Kash Patel stated in recent hearings that there is no credible evidence before him showing that Epstein referred victims to other individuals, a phrase that limits the scope of possible prosecutions while coming under fire from congressmen demanding more documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transparency works faster when files come out fully and carefully anonymized rather than drop by drop, public credibility grows when facts are clearly on the table at once, and when victims' names are consistently protected.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new dossier was on the table in Washington on Friday as Democratic members of the House discussed the daily...","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":4434,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17,2],"tags":[44,22],"class_list":["post-4433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-actueel","category-buitenlands-nieuws","tag-buitenlands-nieuws","tag-kowchecking","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\n
