Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room Opens in New York

Tucked away in a nondescript gallery in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood, the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room is a massive library of all 3.5 million pages of Epstein-related records released by the Department of Justice earlier this year, compiled into more than 3,700 individual volumes. The library—essentially, the Epstein files in analog—is intended to represent the staggering scale of Epstein’s crimes, as well as the impunity with which he carried them out.

[Narrator] A library dedicated solely

to the Epstein files is opening in New York.

Tucked away in a nondescript gallery

in the city's Tribeca neighborhood,

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein

Memorial Reading Room is a massive library

of all 3.5 million pages of Epstein-related records

released by the Department of Justice earlier this year,

compiled into more than 3,700 individual volumes.

After the files were released,

a lot of people were very upset

that they were a bunch of names that were redacted.

And then it was obviously just so many files

that it was really impossible for anybody to get through it.

So we thought, how can we bring attention to this matter?

[Narrator] The library,

which is essentially the Epstein files in analog,

is intended to represent the staggering scale

of Epstein's crimes,

as well as the impunity with which he carried them out.

The installation features a detailed timeline

of Epstein's relationship with President Donald Trump.

The shelves are organized around an exhibit

in support of Epstein's survivors,

with candles laid out on the ground

to represent the more than 1,200 victims.

In response to a request for comment,

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said Trump

has been totally exonerated

on anything relating to Epstein,

claiming that he has done more for Epstein's victims

than anyone.

From May 8 to May 21, the reading room will be open

to the public by appointment only,

although only journalists and members of law enforcement

are permitted to read through the actual files.
