Quote, we got you spelled with a U the letter.

引用，我們拼寫為 U 這個字母。

程度副詞

That's what the governor of the US Virgin Islands told Jeffrey Epstein just months before Epstein's arrest in 2019.

這就是美屬維爾京群島的州長在傑弗裡·愛潑斯坦於 2019 年被捕前幾個月告訴他的話。

情態副詞

And obviously, of course, more than a decade after he was already convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution back in 2008.

顯然，在 2008 年他因教唆未成年人賣淫被定罪十多年後。

Newly released Justice Department documents show that as regulators investigated unauthorized construction on one of Epstein's two private islands, issuing stop work orders and weighing potential fines, Epstein appealed directly to the island's governor for help.

司法部新公佈的文件顯示，在監管機構調查愛潑斯坦其中一個私人島嶼未經授權的建築、發出停工令並考慮潛在罰款時，愛潑斯坦直接向該島的州長尋求幫助。

Text messages uncovered by K file show Governor Albert Bryan Jr.

K file 發現的簡訊顯示，阿爾伯特·布萊恩（Albert Bryan Jr.）州長

Telling Epstein he had asked one of the regulators to, quote, hold everything until speaking with him and later sought the recusal of the commissioner overseeing the dispute.

告訴愛潑斯坦，他已要求其中一名監管人員「暫停一切，直到與他談話」，之後又尋求負責爭議的專員迴避。

K Files 的安德魯·卡欽斯基（Andrew Kaczynski）現在加入我們。

And you know, Andrew, this is so important as we get to the heart of Jeffrey Epstein and how he had the power and money that he had and how he wielded it and this entire circle.

安德魯，這非常重要，因為這讓我們深入瞭解傑弗裡·愛潑斯坦，以及他如何擁有他所擁有的權力和金錢，以及他如何運用它，還有這個整個圈子。

So this gets to the influence and how he wielded it.

所以這關乎他的影響力以及他如何運用它。

These messages, they offer a rare window into how Epstein operated in the U.S.

這些簡訊讓我們得以一窺愛潑斯坦在美屬維爾京群島的運作模式。

virgin Islands, where he leveraged his wealth, business footprint and promises of investment to try to influence local officials.

他在那裡利用他的財富、商業足跡和投資承諾來試圖影響當地官員。

Now, I want to give people a little background here.

現在，我想先稍微介紹一下背景。

Epstein had deep roots in the Virgin Islands and he bought his private island, Little St.

愛潑斯坦在美屬維爾京群島深耕多年，並在 90 年代買下了他的私人島嶼小聖詹姆斯島。

他在 2016 年擴大了他的足跡，並購買了鄰近的大聖詹姆斯島。

He later expanded his footprint in 2016 and purchased neighboring Great St. James.

而這些許可顯示他計畫建造碼頭、道路、住宅和其他開發項目。

And the permits show that he had plans to build docks, roads, residencies and other development.

And this is where these texts with the governor come into Play.

而這就是這些訊息跟州長往來的開始。

Now, by December 2018, regulators were scrutiny construction on Great St. James.

到了 2018 年 12 月，監管機構開始嚴格審查大聖詹姆斯島的建築工程。

The Virginian Islands Department of Planning and Natural Resources had issued a stop work order and began reviewing potential violations.

美屬維爾京群島的規劃與自然資源部門發布了停工令，並開始審查潛在的違規行為。

Epstein then reaches out directly to then the newly elected governor, Democrat Albert Bryan Jr.

接著，愛潑斯坦直接聯繫了當時新上任的民主黨州長阿爾伯特·布萊恩（Albert Bryan Jr.）。

你可以看看他們兩人的這段對話。

Epstein complained about potential fines and Brian said he spoke to John Pierre or El, that is the commissioner of the department who they're calling JP in these texts.

愛潑斯坦抱怨潛在的罰款，而布萊恩則說他跟該部門的專員 John Pierre 或 El 談過了，這兩人在這些訊息裡被稱為 JP。

Brian said he had asked him to, quote, hold everything until he and the attorney spoke to me.

布萊恩說他請他「暫停一切，直到我和律師談過我為止」。

Later, Epstein complains that the same commissioner JP Was quote, going after me in the press, to which Brian responded that he had asked the commissioner to recuse himself.

之後，愛潑斯坦抱怨說，同一個專員 JP 在媒體上「針對我」，對此布萊恩回應說他已經請這位專員迴避了。

And then in another subsequent message, Brian wrote, I asked him to use himself and concede on all previous permit requests.

然後在另一則後續的訊息中，布萊恩寫道：「我請他迴避，並同意所有之前的許可申請。」

Now, the documents don't show whether any enforcement decisions were ultimately changed, but

現在，這些文件沒有顯示最終是否有任何執法決定被更改，但

Epstein was communicating directly with the governor of the territory, and

愛潑斯坦與該地區的州長直接溝通，

the governor was telling him that he was intervening on his behalf.

而州長則告訴他，他正在代表他介入。

Later, when Brian was asked under oath in a 2023 deposition whether he had received he.

之後，當布萊恩在 2023 年的宣誓作證中被問到是否收到過他。

Epstein, received any special favors or treatment from him, he answered repeatedly and simply, no.

愛潑斯坦，是否收到過他給予的任何特殊優待或待遇時，他一再簡單地回答，沒有。

All right, Andrew, obviously your reporting is very illuminating on that front and also shows this is not.

好的，安德魯，你的報導顯然在這方面非常有啟發性，也顯示這不是。

Okay, so when again, we get to power and how he was wielding it.

好的，所以我們又回到了權力以及他是如何運用權力的。

And obviously Epstein is then arrested in July.

然後愛潑斯坦在七月被逮捕了。

And as we point out, this is all happened.

而且正如我們指出的，這一切都發生了。

This all went down, this whole back and forth 11 years after he was.

這一切都發生了，這來來回回的過程發生在他被捕的十一年後。

And after the Miami Herald, Miami Herald's investigative series, which was in the November of 2018.

而且在《邁阿密先驅報》的調查報導之後，那是在 2018 年 11 月。

There were meetings, there were attempts to meet as well that you've unveiled here.

有會議，也有你在此揭露的會面嘗試。

The messages suggest this was not their first contact.

這些訊息顯示這不是他們第一次接觸。

Emails from September 2018, while Brian was campaigning for governor show aides coordinating a meeting between Brian Epstein and Epstein at Epstein's financial firm in the Virgin Islands.

2018 年 9 月的電子郵件，當時 Brian 正在競選州長，顯示助理們協調 Brian Epstein 和 Epstein 在 Epstein 位於美屬維爾京群島的金融公司會面。

In April 2019, as this dispute was unfolding, Epstein texted Brian right there.

2019 年 4 月，就在這場爭議展開之際，Epstein 就傳訊息給 Brian。

Epstein and Brian then coordinated the meeting at what appeared to be the office of Epstein's longtime Virgin Islands tax attorney.

Epstein 和 Brian 接著協調了這次會面，地點似乎是 Epstein 在維爾京群島的長期稅務律師的辦公室。

There are also emails referencing additional meetings and phone calls, including, again, outreach through his longtime Virgin Islands attorney.

還有電子郵件提及了額外的會議和電話，包括再次透過他長期在維爾京群島的律師聯繫。

So the documents show an ongoing line of communication both during Brian's campaign and later as Epstein was dealing with the regulators.

所以這些文件顯示，在 Brian 的競選期間以及後來 Epstein 與監管機構打交道時，雙方一直保持聯繫。

Now, we reached out to Brian and his spokespeople many, many times over the past five days, and

現在，我們在過去五天裡多次聯繫了 Brian 和他的發言人，

All right, of course, you'll let us know if you do.

好的，當然，如果有的話，你會告訴我們的。

不過，這一切都太令人驚訝了。

Every day, new information coming out, digging through these files.

每天都有新資訊出來，挖掘這些文件。

And I say that in the context of, you know, we're weeks past the stuff coming out.

我這麼說，是在我們已經爆出這些事情幾週後，大家還在關注的背景下。

我們每天都收到更多，即使如此。

And Ro Khanna said on this show last night that we only have, he said, half of the documents that are out there, and

羅·卡納（Ro Khanna）昨晚在這個節目上說，我們只有，他說，一半的公開文件，

the half we don't have, he says, is the bad half.

而我們沒有的那一半，他說，是比較糟糕的一半。

Breaking news regarding those apparent missing Epstein files related to President Trump.

關於那些與川普總統有關、明顯遺失的愛潑斯坦文件，有最新消息。

I want to bring in CNN correspondent Kara Scannell.

我想請 CNN 記者卡拉·斯坎內爾（Kara Scannell）加入。

Kara, you just got this update from the Justice Department.

卡拉，你剛才收到了司法部的最新消息。

Yeah, Kaci, as you remember, CNN and other news outlets had reported that there appeared to be about 90 302s.

是的，凱西，你記得，CNN 和其他新聞媒體曾報導說，似乎有大約 90 份 302 報告。

Those are the FBI interviews with witness reports missing from the Epstein files that are publicly available, all coming from a privilege log that was turned over to Epstein's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys.

這些是 FBI 對證人的訪談報告，在公開的愛潑斯坦文件中遺失，這些都來自一份特權記錄，該記錄已移交給愛潑斯坦的同夥吉斯蘭·麥斯威爾（Ghislaine Maxwell）的律師。

Three of those 302s that appear to be missing relate to a woman who claimed that she was sexually assaulted by Jeffrey Epstein and said that she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump in the 1980s.

其中有三份似乎遺失的 302 報告，與一位聲稱遭到傑弗裡·愛潑斯坦性侵的女子有關，她還說她在 1980 年代遭到唐納·川普性侵。

Initially, DOJ said that the documents were either not posted because they were duplicative, they were privileged, or they were part of an ongoing investigation.

起初，司法部表示這些文件未發布，是因為它們是重複的、有特權的，或是正在進行的調查的一部分。

We just got a new statement from the Justice Department where they say, as the Department of Justice has consistently said and has done since the January 30, 2026 publication of the Epstein files, if any member of the public, including victims, reported concerns with information in the pages the Department would review, make any corrections, and

我們剛收到司法部一份新的聲明，他們表示，正如司法部一直以來所說並自 2026 年 1 月 30 日愛潑斯坦文件發布以來一直採取的做法，如果公眾中的任何成員，包括受害者，對文件中報告的資訊有疑慮，司法部將會審查、進行任何更正，並

Several individuals and news outlets have recently flagged files related to documents produced to Ghislaine Maxwell in discovery of her criminal case that they claim appear to be missing.

最近有幾個人和新聞媒體指出，與吉斯蘭·麥斯威爾在刑事案件審判中提供的文件有關的檔案，似乎有所遺失。

As with all documents that have been flagged by the public, the Department is currently reviewing files within that category of the production.

如同所有被公眾指出的文件一樣，司法部目前正在審查這批生產文件中的檔案。

Should any document be found to have been improperly tagged in the review process and is responsive to the act, the Department will, of course, publish it consistent with the law.

如果在審查過程中，發現任何文件被錯誤標記，並且符合該法案的要求，司法部當然會依法發布。

So now DOJ saying it is going to review this tranche of records that CNN and others have been able to identify based on the serial number.

所以現在司法部表示，他們將審查這批 CNN 和其他媒體根據序號識別出來的記錄。

So it shouldn't be difficult for them to locate them in theory, and

所以理論上，他們應該不難找到這些文件，而且

said that they will review them and then publish them if it is complying with the Act.

表示他們將會審查這些文件，如果符合法案要求，就會發布。

So we will wait to see what hits those public records in the next couple hours and days.

所以我們就等著看接下來幾小時和幾天內，會有什麼內容出現在這些公開記錄裡。

Kara Skinnell, thanks very much for that reporting.

Kara Skinnell，非常感謝妳的報導。

So, Chihino Jose, you were kind of nodding along with Kara just because you worked at the Department of Justice.

所以，Chihino Jose，妳剛剛聽著 Kara 點頭，是因為妳曾在司法部工作過。

I think you have an understanding of what this is.

我想妳對這是什麼情況有一定的瞭解。

I mean, she did a good job of laying it out, but

我是說，她把事情解釋得很清楚，但是

我是說，我們怎麼知道這些東西在那裡？

Well, it essentially is saying that there are these FBI files that they're normally interviews of witnesses, et cetera, that I am assuming are potentially in other places within the FBI, et cetera.

嗯，基本上就是說，有這些 FBI 的檔案，裡面通常是受訪者訪談記錄等等，我猜測這些檔案可能還在 FBI 的其他地方等等。
