This is Donald Trump's phone number in
[00:03] (3.44s)
Jeffrey Epstein's personal little black
[00:05] (5.68s)
book from the 1990s. In 2021, Business
[00:09] (9.76s)
Insider obtained an address book no one
[00:12] (12.56s)
had ever seen before.
[00:14] (14.64s)
Jeffrey Epstein got away with what he
[00:17] (17.52s)
got away with because of who was in his
[00:19] (19.92s)
address book.
[00:24] (24.24s)
What's interesting for us about this
[00:25] (25.68s)
book is a a new cast of characters who
[00:29] (29.28s)
we didn't previously know had
[00:30] (30.96s)
interactions with or did business with
[00:33] (33.20s)
While the Trump administration says it
[00:35] (35.36s)
won't disclose more files on Epstein,
[00:38] (38.08s)
the older address book reminds us of
[00:40] (40.40s)
Epstein's vast connections to prominent
[00:43] (43.20s)
figures, including Melania Trump's best
[00:46] (46.08s)
friend, Christopher Cuomo's wife, and an
[00:49] (49.12s)
adviser in the first Trump
[00:50] (50.64s)
administration.
[00:52] (52.24s)
Our first thought was to just do
[00:54] (54.72s)
whatever we could to verify that it was
[00:59] (59.92s)
We've obtained a copy of an address book
[01:01] (61.92s)
that we believe belonged to Jeffrey
[01:03] (63.44s)
Epstein. And your name and contact
[01:05] (65.60s)
information are listed in the book.
[01:08] (68.32s)
I'm a reporter for Insider. I'm just
[01:10] (70.56s)
calling everybody who's in this address
[01:13] (73.20s)
book who has not previously been
[01:14] (74.64s)
publicly associated with Jeffrey
[01:16] (76.00s)
Epstein. We needed to make sure it was a
[01:18] (78.08s)
real artifact that really represented
[01:19] (79.76s)
something about Jeffrey Epstein and his
[01:22] (82.08s)
connections to people.
[01:23] (83.20s)
The story is not one that sounds exactly
[01:25] (85.68s)
believable. Someone dropped Jeffrey
[01:28] (88.08s)
Epstein's address book in the '90s and
[01:30] (90.48s)
now belongs to some guy who lives on a
[01:32] (92.64s)
farm in Vermont.
[01:36] (96.88s)
I'm very careful not to put my
[01:38] (98.40s)
fingerprints on the book, not to put any
[01:40] (100.08s)
sort of DNA or hair or anything like
[01:44] (104.96s)
My name is Christopher Halali. Where
[01:47] (107.44s)
should I look? I currently live on my
[01:50] (110.00s)
wife's farm. As a student of national
[01:53] (113.28s)
security issues, imperialism, I was
[01:56] (116.16s)
fascinated by the Jeffrey Epstein case.
[02:02] (122.24s)
There are names that are highlighted and
[02:04] (124.88s)
I think one of the most notable
[02:07] (127.20s)
highlighted names is uh former President
[02:10] (130.40s)
Donald Trump.
