Cayden McBride, a 19-year-old former Trump voter in Rome, Georgia, spends hours analyzing the Jeffrey Epstein files released by the DOJ. He is motivated by his Christian beliefs and a desire for accountability for Epstein's crimes and those connected to him. McBride, once a staunch supporter of Trump and his anti-corruption platform, has become disillusioned by the perceived lack of transparency and accountability surrounding the Epstein case. He is particularly critical of Pam Bondi, Trump's former attorney general, for her handling of the files. McBride hopes that Bondi's recent replacement will lead to renewed focus on the Epstein issue and further investigation into the matter. The DOJ files include flight logs, transcripts, images, and videos related to Epstein's crimes and connections.
