Epstein survivor: DOJ partial files release not sufficient

Weekend

Expires on Monday 8:00am

US lawmakers criticise redactions in Epstein files as not all documents are released. Among those seen consorting with the late financier and sex offender are politicians, singers and celebrities. Democrats say the failure to publish everything is a violation of the law. We hear reactions from a survivor. Also on the programme: A Hungarian view on EU's failed attempt to use Russia's frozen assets to help Ukraine's war effort; and we head to New Orleans to meet tens of thousands of Earth Scientists. Joining Krupa Padhy to discuss this and more are Bloomberg's Brussels Bureau chief Suzanne Lynch and The Economist's Defence Editor Shashank Joshi.
