A man walks across a snowy street in Washington DC. He has a dark line covering his face, as if he’s redacted. The street is busy, snow is falling, and there are buses and cars nearby. The U.S. Capitol building looms in the background. A woman and man cross the street near the redacted man and the woman says, “Look who’s in the Epstein files!”
