The Epstein Files: What's behind the latest US political controversy?

Nearly six years after disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, he has once again become the centre of political controversy in the US. It’s after the Justice Department decided not to release more detailed records from the investigation into him and his death – with Attorney General Pam Bondi concluding he did not leave behind a so-called “client list”. But, that hasn’t stopped the avalanche of speculation –  and major MAGA infighting -- over the apparent “lack of transparency”. So, has there been a major cover-up? Or have we succumbed to another Kennedy-esque conspiracy, and there’s ACTUALLY “nothing to see here”? Today on The Front Page, Associated Press Washington correspondent Eric Tucker takes us through the latest in the Epstein saga.
