[00:00:00] Speaker 1: One of the Epstein documents released today is a list of allegations related to President Trump. Now this list was compiled by the FBI last summer and many of the allegations appear to come from unverified tips. No officials note that some of these tips are even coming from secondhand information received through the FBI's National Threat Operations Center, which takes tips through the phone and electronically. There are more than a dozen allegations in this document. Some of them were followed up on. One was referred to the FBI Washington office. Another was deemed to be not credible, but of course President Trump has long denied wrongdoing related to Epstein. Now this list also includes allegations against former President Bill Clinton, who is also denied any wrongdoing. But one of the biggest questions here is. Why did the FBI compile this list? Of course, the Department has been in a difficult spot, releasing any information are related to their boss when it comes to the Epstein investigation. Now two different versions of this document have appeared on the Justice Department's website. We have asked why those were removed. At this point it's back up there, but it could disappear again when we asked the White House about this document. They pointed us to a statement that has been on the Justice Department's website. Fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos as everything that's sent to the FBI by the public was included in this production. Now they say some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. But the fact that these allegations are now public will likely result in more questions for the Justice Department and the White House.

Arow Summary
A report describes FBI-compiled allegations connected to Jeffrey Epstein that mention Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. The list, assembled last summer, appears largely based on unverified or secondhand public tips received through the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center. Some tips were followed up (including referral to the FBI Washington Field Office) while at least one was deemed not credible. Both Trump and Clinton have denied wrongdoing. The Justice Department posted two versions of the document online, briefly removing one or both, prompting questions about why the FBI compiled the list and why versions changed. The White House pointed to a DOJ statement saying the production includes material submitted by the public, including potentially fake or falsely submitted content, and that some documents contain untrue, sensational claims submitted shortly before the 2020 election. Public release is expected to raise further questions for DOJ and the White House.
