P1: Epstein sex trafficking scandal explained + Victim's family speak out

Pressure is mounting on the US government to name names in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case. It comes as the family of Australian victim Virginia Guiffre who died earlier this year releases a new statement lashing out at US President Donald Trump.

In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by journalist Lucia Osborne-Crowley to unpack who Jeffrey Epstein is, his powerful friends and the question we all should be asking.

Headlines: The identity of a Sydney childcare worker charged with more than a dozen child sex abuse offences has been revealed, Melbourne’s gangland war has erupted again, with a 21-year-old man shot dead in Melbourne’s outer north, and the family of Virginia Giuffre has spoken out after bizarre new allegations from Donald Trump.
