Early this year, the US Department of Justice released 3.5 million files related to financier, human trafficker and sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, drawing more of us into the Wild West of conspiracy theories. The files confirm what we already know about his crimes, and much of it references high‑profile figures, but often without context or evidence. Raw, redacted, and sprawling, the files are enough to spark rumours, questions, and deeper confusion – which is exactly what we’ll be diving into with our guest, who had to reckon with the fact that he himself is mentioned 25 times in the files.
