00:00The countdown has begun.
00:27Just two days remain before one of the most explosive document releases in modern American history.
00:34Files linked to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein are set to become public,
00:40records that could expose the full scope of a global network alleged to have abused minors
00:46and involved some of the world's most powerful people.
00:50The Trump administration is expected to release decades-old government records tied to Epstein
00:56on December 19th.
00:58These include emails, photographs, flight logs, schedules, and financial documents
01:04made public under a congressional mandate aimed at uncovering the truth behind Epstein's operations.
01:12At the heart of the case are allegations that minors were exploited within Epstein's network
01:17and that influential figures from politics, business, and academia were connected to him.
01:24Epstein died in jail in 2019 while awaiting trial, but questions surrounding his associates have never faded.
01:32Earlier this month, 19 photographs from Epstein's estate were released.
01:37Among them were images featuring Donald Trump as well as former U.S. President Bill Clinton
01:43and billionaire Bill Gates.
01:45None of the images prove wrongdoing, but their release has reignited global scrutiny.
01:51With just two days to go, unease is growing far beyond Washington.
01:56Political and business circles across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East are watching closely,
02:02aware that the files may include correspondence and contacts from outside the United States.
02:08So far, no Indian citizen or Indian business or political leader has been officially named.
02:15However, Indian politician Subramanian Swamy has publicly claimed that names of some Indian ministers,
02:22former ministers, and current MPs could surface.
02:25Claims the U.S. Justice Department has not confirmed.
02:29Meanwhile, Democrats on the powerful House Oversight Committee have released Epstein's daily schedules
02:35from 2010 to 2019.
02:38These records show planned meetings with figures including Elon Musk, Peter Thiel,
02:43and conservative strategist Steve Bannon.
02:46Lawmakers say a total of 8,544 documents were obtained through a congressional subpoena issued in August.
02:55These include phone logs, transaction records, flight manifests, and daily schedules,
03:01now central to the unfolding investigation.
03:03The photographs and records have revived attention on several prominent names.
03:09These include Britain's Prince Andrew, filmmaker Woody Allen, entrepreneur Richard Branson,
03:15legal scholar Alan Dershowitz, and former Harvard president Larry Summers.
03:20All have denied wrongdoing.
03:22Newly released correspondence also includes emails between Epstein and linguist Noam Chomsky,
03:28touching on academic and personal topics, and occasionally on politics,
03:33including discussions about Trump during the 2016 election period.
03:38What emerges in the coming days could reshape reputations, reopen investigations,
03:44and deepen public distrust in elite institutions.
03:48With the clock ticking, the world is watching,
03:51waiting to see whose names and whose secrets finally come to light.
