meantime james b stewart said jeffrey epstein told him he had dirt on silicon valley elite saying he had seen prominent figures in the tech world doing drugs and arranging for and they had missed it in regular users of recreational drugs, but he goes on to say that epstein never named names and the fbi has rated epstein's compound in the virgin islands seizing at least three computers. the raid was apparently part of attorney general bill barr that coconspirator should not rest easy. and epstein's death is raising new scrutiny on prince andrew, a woman who accused epstein of sexual assault claims he paid her to have with the prince. buckingham palace denies that allegation. >> jesse: trace, thank you. here to respond is rudy giuliani, president trump's personal attorney and former new york city mayor. it may or have you ever been to this facility? >> i watched it being built. >> jesse: really how did this happen? i was an assistant u.s. attorney when he built it and occupied the building next to it. it is connected to the u.s. attorney's office. so when we moved, i watched it being b

jeffrey epstein. it was done by james stewart. it was down a year and a half ago when epstein was alive on background, which means at the time stewart couldn't name epstein. since epstein died, stewart felt he could publish the results of it. it obtained this graph which is horrifying. epstein said criminalizing sex with teenage girls was a cultur cultural aberration. he pointed out that oklaho homosexuality was considered a crime, and witnessed prominent tech figures taking drugs and arranging for sex. the first part, talking about decriminalizing sex with teenagers. that does give you a sense of jeffrey epstein's mental state years after he was convicted for crimes. >> that article gives you a look into the grotesque twisted mind of a serial predator. the article is a great example of what goes on in the minds of child predators. they view their victims as not human, just as objects to serve them, and i've seen it before in this type of person. and in fact, as you see in the article, ultimately epstein almost comes to view himse

"squawk box" will be right back. >>> welcome back to "squawk box. stories continue to emerge following jeffrey epstein's surprising death over the weekend. one that caught our eye was a piece in "the new york times" from jim stewart writing about the day that epstein invited stewart to his manhattan mansion. this is about a year ago and the dirt he spilled or didn't spill in some cases over that meeting joining us now is ed lee from "the new york times" also a cnbc contributor. a lot of tongues are wagging, eyebrows raised as people read about it i think the biggest sort of takeaway was just jeffrey epstein either lies about what he's saying or trying to leave people with the impression he has dirt on other

the financial life of jeffrey epstein since they can't prosecute any of these criminal cases against him. we have another report in the "new york times" tonight from james stewart. he reports of an interview he had with epstein last year where epstein points to a picture saying that's mbs, referring to mohammad bin salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia. the crown prince had visited him many times and they spoke often, mr. epstein said. mimi, if that's true, that's just one indicator of the kinds of people who may be exposed in the continuing of this investigation. >> yeah. look, the fact that joffrey berman put out a statement on saturday, that's unusual for them to put out a statement at all about a case so quickly over a weekend, and the fact that he made that point about there being a conspiracy and we're going to continue investigating and we want victims to come forward, i don't think he would have done that if there were just sort of let's throw it up and see what happens. that would be pretty risky on his part. they clearly have already i think some idea where this is going in terms of co-conspirators. whether that turns out to be ghislaine -- i can't
