CNN and other outlets report that over 90 FBI witness interviews are missing from the publicly released Jeffrey Epstein files, including three related to a woman alleging abuse by Donald Trump at age 13. Trump has dismissed these allegations as a "Democrat hoax" and a strategic political attack. Lawmakers continue to demand the release of the full 325 witness interviews cataloged in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.

Attorney Brad Edwards, who represents multiple Epstein survivors, appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to respond to Donald Trump's "hoax" comments. Edwards claimed Trump previously acknowledged Epstein was a "creep" in 2009. The segment also discussed Ghislaine Maxwell's claims and the potential for survivors to release their own list of abusers if the government fails to do so.

Bill Gates appeared on CNN with Anderson Cooper to discuss his divorce and his past relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Gates characterized his meetings with Epstein as a "huge mistake" intended to secure billions for global health philanthropy. He admitted that the association was a source of concern for Melinda Gates and contributed to the end of their partnership.

A discussion of the CNN interview focuses on Anderson Cooper's mentions of Jeffrey Epstein and sex trafficking. Speculation arises that Cooper and other high-profile figures are anxious about the impending unsealing of court documents containing the names of Epstein's associates, referred to as "John Does."

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper expressed surprise on CNN regarding the Justice Department's criminal investigation into the Russia probe's origins. Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin dismissed the "deep state" theory involving Joseph Mifsud as a right-wing fantasy. Clapper defended the 2017 intelligence community assessment, while critics suggest illegal FISA court activity may be the focus of the new criminal inquiry.

During a CNN segment, Anderson Cooper told Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord that he would defend the President even if he "took a dump on his desk." This exchange led to a viral resurgence of the nickname "Anderson Pooper." The hosts claim they originated the nickname years prior and lament its adoption by the mainstream.

The hosts read a list of producers who have contributed to the show, including Sir Lawrence, who had to cancel his recurring payment due to financial hardship. They discuss the "de-douching" of new donors and the "must-win-the-future" meme. Dvorak brings out a physical train whistle to celebrate the "all aboard" spirit of the donor community.
