The display outlines allegations and convictions involving both men, along with the times they were together, but it does not accuse Trump of wrongdoing; Trump has denied involvement in epstein\u2019s crimes.<\/p>\n<p>To prepare the exhibit, the organizers downloaded and reformatted DOJ files, dealing with heavy redactions and large physical materials. They also worked with epstein survivors during development, and the D.C. location includes a second-floor tribute area with candles, spaces for visitor reflections, and plans to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >incorporate additional survivor preferences<\/a> regarding what can be shown.

That\u2019s kind of what we\u2019re hoping that we can do with this, is you know, push for real accountability.\u201d <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-trump-amp-epstein-through-the-years\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018Trump &#038; Epstein Through the Years\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The piece de resistance of the display is a 390-square-foot exhibit that features all the times Epstein and Trump were together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat this does is it provides context,\u201d Garrett said. \u201cWhen you look at this, maybe you understand why the president doesn\u2019t want the Department of Justice investigating the Epstein files.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cTrump &#038; Epstein Through the Years\u201d timeline features three lines: the top showing Epstein\u2019s allegations of sexual assault and felony conviction, the bottom showing the allegations against Trump and his felony convictions, and a middle line showing all of the times the two men were together. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A 390-square-foot exhibit that features all of the times Epstein and Trump were together, created by the Institute for Primary Facts. (Claire Carter\/Washington Examiner)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Garrett said two main factors went into the decision to home in on the documents placing Trump and Epstein together. The first, which Garrett referred to as \u201ccheeky,\u201d is because \u201cTrump likes to put his name on things.\u201d The second was to show how much the pair had in common, Garrett said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cDonald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein had a lot in common, right?\u201d He said. \u201cBoth of them have dozens of credible allegations of sexual assault. Both of them have, both of them are convicted felons. One of them died in prison, and the other one is president.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The display does not accuse Trump of any wrongdoing. Trump has denied having any involvement in Epstein\u2019s crimes. Epstein died by suicide in 2019. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-putting-the-reading-room-together\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Putting the reading room together<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documents weigh 17,000 pounds and span 574 feet across 20 bookshelves. Visitors will be able to see all of the documents that drew roughly 10,000 visitors to a similar exhibit opened by the IPF in New York City. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IPF started putting the exhibit together in March by downloading all of the files released by the DOJ. From there, the organization had to format all the pages into a consistent format. Redactions in the files also posed an issue, because they use a lot of ink and can rip up the paper, Garrett said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\" style=\"--aspect-ratio:calc(696 \/ 464)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_container swiper\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_swiper-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_slide swiper-slide\">\n<figure><figcaption class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow_caption gallery-caption\">The description of the \u201cTrump &#038; Epstein Through the Years\u201d exhibit by the Institute for Primary Facts.
