to our BODs, reality in American.

Much was redacted and millions more pages have been withheld. There is a lot we want to know that remains unclear.

But what has come into clear view is the role Epstein played as a broker of information, connections, wealth and women and girls for a slice of the global elite. This was the infrastructure of Epstein’s power — and it reveals much about the infrastructure of elite networks more generally.

Anand Giridharadas is something of a sociologist of American elites. He’s the author of, among other books, “Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World” and the forthcoming “Man in the Mirror: Hope, Struggle and Belonging in an American City.” He also publishes the great newsletter The.Ink.

Back in November, after the release of an earlier batch of Epstein files, Giridharadas wrote a great Times Opinion guest essay, taking a sociologist’s lens to the messages Epstein exchanged with his elite friends. So after the government released this latest, enormous tranche of materials, I wanted to talk to Giridharadas to help make sense of it. What do they reveal — about how Epstein operated in the world, the vulnerabilities he exploited and what that says about how power works in America today? “ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eBnQ6qxoMr8&pp=QAFIA...

At the time, Brown oversaw both Newsweek and The Daily Beast from the same New York office.

Meanwhile, Sarnoff said she took her reporting on Epstein to 27 book publishers—all of whom turned her down. One told her, “You are sitting on a pot of gold, but no one will publish this book.”

“And he was right,” she added.

Sarnoff declined to detail the threats she currently faces, citing an active investigation. But fear, she said, has followed her since the moment she vowed to expose Epstein’s crimes."
