Washington DC—The Institute for Primary Facts began its weeklong opening of the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room on Monday, June 8. The display opened to the public on Tuesday, June 9, after an exclusive day for media coverage. The display will continue traveling to other cities and towns throughout the U.S. after this week, unless the DC display is extended.
Visitors queued to observe the display of 3437 volumes containing 3.5 million records but were not permitted to view or read the records because the Department of Justice (DoJ) had not fully redacted victim’s personal information and names. The embargoed documents were visible on the bookcase shelves but crowd control barriers kept viewers from accessing the volumes.
The documents that have been released so far are available on the DoJ website for those over 18. A DoJ website warning banner advises viewers that the content is disturbing, “Some of the library’s contents include descriptions of sexual assault. As such, please be advised that certain portions of this library may not be appropriate for all readers.”
