- A pop-up display named The Reading Room has opened in Tribeca, New York City, exhibiting 3.5 million pages of Epstein files, totaling 17,000 pounds of documents. Available through May 21, admission is free but reservations are required.
- The exhibit was set up by the Institute for Primary Facts, a nonprofit from Washington, D.C. “The Reading Room keeps public attention fixed on the crimes of Epstein and the Epstein class, and on Trump's desperate attempts to bury them, to support the victims and survivors as they seek justice,” the website says.
- It took organizers roughly a month to print, bind and arrange the collection, according to Wired. “The evidence in this room is evidence of one of the most horrific crimes in American history,” the exhibit's chief organizer David Garrett told Wired. “When people come through this room, I hope they realize that in America, we have the rule of law, and if they stand up they can take action and demand accountability for the crimes that were committed.”
- Part of the installation details the timeline of Epstein’s relationship with President Trump, from their initial meeting in Palm Beach in 1987, to Epstein’s attendance at Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples and the end of Epstein’s Mar-a-Lago membership in 2007.
- The precise street address will not be publicly disclosed; confirmed visitors will receive the full address via email and text message. New groups are admitted every 20 minutes for a one-hour session.
