Hello and welcome to NewsHour from the BBC World Service.
Coming to you live from London, I'm James Kamarasamy.
Does it exist?
Who is on it?
The Epstein client list,
the alleged list of high-profile figures kept by the late child sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein,
has cast something of a shadow over Donald Trump's second term in office.
For some of his MAGA support base,
the failure of the White House to release more details about the Justice Department's investigation into Epstein has shaken their faith in the President's ability or perhaps willingness to expose what they regard as an establishment cover-up,
a perspective that was encouraged in the recent past by some people who now hold senior positions in the Trump administration.
Well,
now the US Justice Department has shared thousands of files with the US Congress and released hundreds of pages of transcripts,
as well as an audio recording of its recent interviews with Ghislaine Maxwell,
Epstein's jailed associate and ex-girlfriend.
In them, the British socialite said that she wasn't aware of any client list.
Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking offences and sentenced to...
20 years in prison, is seeking a pardon from President Trump.
And shortly after the interviews with the Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche,
a former personal lawyer of the President,
she was moved from a prison in Florida to a minimum security facility in Texas.
