Epstein files reading room and bookmobile begin US tour in Dallas
A pop-up exhibition and bookmobile carrying millions of publicly released files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein began a US tour in Dallas, timed with the Republican party’s midterm convention there. The project, organized by the Institute for Primary Facts with Defiance.org, includes the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room—first opened in New York in May and later shown in Washington, DC, in June—along with a Bookmobile version. More than 3,000 bound volumes of Epstein-related files are displayed, alongside paintings by survivor-artist Maria Farmer, including her “EPSTEIN’S DECK” series of 30in-by-50in tarot-card works depicting high-profile figures tied to the case. Additional stops include Des Moines, Iowa, later this month, and Bookmobile visits to Omaha, Nebraska, and two Iowa cities, with plans for about five cities total by year’s end ahead of the November midterm elections.
