Epstein Survivors Speak Up for Transparency

[gentle music] Hi, this is Tim Dickinson, senior editor here at The Contrarian.

Thank you for joining us for another edition of The Contrarian Pod.

Later in today's show, you'll hear April Ryan in conversation with Ashlei Etienne about her recent op-ed on how the Black vote powers Democrats, but how those voters don't receive much in return.

That op-ed was a love letter to Black people to wake us up and, and realize that we've got to, uh, assess who are our friends and our allies in this moment.

But first, I sat down with Epstein survivors Lara Bloom Magee and Charlene Richard about their pursuit for accountability for the Epstein sex trafficking ring.

The pair were in DC advocating against the attorney general nomination of Todd Blanche, whom they accuse of a cover-up of the Epstein files.

Those files are, there's leads in there, there's crimes in there, and they need to be investigated.

And that's what we've, you know, people ask us all the time, "Why are you guys doing this?" We want people held accountable, and in those files are a lot of answers, and they're not even looking at them.

And what does that say about our DOJ? What does that say about Todd Blanche?
