I checked on the digital front page of the Times. The lead stories are about the Supreme Court's secrecy, some stuff about Gaza reopening, Minneapolis/ICE, the Grammys and a state visit from the President of Colombia. Only after those clusters of stories do you get anything on Epstein, and that is about the Justice Department "accidentally" posting pictures of victims' faces and nude bodies.
Now, those are all pretty important stories and exactly the sort of things I hope the Times continues to cover.
However, there has been no massive front page story on the actual contents of the released files. Some of that is because they released so much and some of that is because a lot of what they released are anonymous tips and unsubstantiated allegations - perhaps not false, but not substantiated. Hopefully, the Times (and their lawyers) are simply combing through the files and trying to corroborate what is in them.
The thing is, what was in there is a story. Maybe THE story. We also know that Trump won't sue, because that would entail discovery.
Trump is floundering, when your opponent is drowning, stick a hose in his mouth.
