# Score the Speech: A Citizen's Guide to Fact-Checking the SOTU with 329,000 Documents
*Tonight Trump speaks. You have his files. Here's how to use them.*
What You Need
1. A browser
2. [epstein.dugganusa.com](https://epstein.dugganusa.com)
3. This guide
That's it. No subscription. No paywall. No app. 329,000+ DOJ documents, searchable in under a second.
How the Search Works
Go to [epstein.dugganusa.com](https://epstein.dugganusa.com). Type a name. Hit enter. You get every document in the DOJ's Epstein File Transparency Act release that mentions that name.
The results show you:
- **Document count** — how many files mention this person
- **Text excerpts** — the actual content, highlighted
- **Dataset source** — which of the 12 DOJ releases it came from
- **ICIJ toggle** — cross-reference against 1.7 million offshore entities from the Panama and Pandora Papers
That's your fact-checking engine. When Trump says something tonight, you type a name. The documents answer.
The Scorecard
Print this out. Or open it on a second screen. Every time Trump makes a claim about Epstein, the files, or the people in them, score it.
| Claim | Search This | What the Documents Show | Score |
|-------|------------|------------------------|-------|
| "I released ALL the files" | `serial number gap` | EFTA serial numbers jump from ~8,000 to ~14,000. That's ~6,000 missing files. NPR confirmed it today. | |
| "I hardly knew the guy" | `trump` | 1,000+ document hits. Flight logs. Photographs. Party guest lists. Phone numbers in the black book. | |
| "I banned him from Mar-a-Lago" | `mar-a-lago` | Search it yourself. The timeline doesn't match his claims. | |
| "Nobody's done more for the victims" | `victim` or `survivor` | DOJ withheld 53 pages of FBI interviews with a survivor who accused Trump. NPR broke this today. | |
| "The Democrats are playing politics" | `bannon` | Epstein emailed himself a "list for bannon steve" on June 30, 2019 — two weeks before his arrest. Both parties are in these files. | |
| "Ghislaine Maxwell was treated fairly" | `maxwell` | 10,000+ hits. She was the operational hub. The files are extensive. | |
| Names a specific person | Search that name | Check the document count. Cross-reference with ICIJ offshore toggle. | |
| Doesn't mention Epstein at all | `trump` | 1,000+ documents exist whether he mentions them or not. Silence is a score too. | |
Scoring System
For each claim, score 1-5:
**5 — Verified True**: The documents support the claim. This is rare.
**4 — Mostly True**: Broadly accurate but missing important context the documents provide.
**3 — Half True**: Some basis in fact, but the documents show a more complicated picture.
**2 — Mostly False**: The claim contradicts what the documents show, with minor elements of truth.
**1 — False**: The documents directly contradict the claim.
**0 — Silence**: He didn't address something the documents prove he should have. Silence on a 1,000+ document connection is a score.

What NPR Proved Today
Before tonight's speech, here's what NPR confirmed hours ago:
1. **53 pages of FBI interviews are missing** from the DOJ release
2. The missing pages involve a survivor who **accused Trump of sexual abuse as a minor**
3. Serial numbers stamped on the files show **gaps indicating deliberate removal**
4. The DOJ has **no explanation** for why these specific pages are gone
We predicted this. In January 2026, we applied CARVER — a military targeting methodology — to score which names the DOJ was suppressing. We predicted 7 names with zero documents despite extensive network connections. When the House Oversight Committee released their files, **all 7 predictions were validated**.
The suppression has a pattern. The pattern has a shape. The shape matches the names with the most to lose.
How to Share Your Score
After the speech:
1. Add up your scores
2. Divide by number of claims scored
3. Post your result
**4.0-5.0**: He told the truth about Epstein. (We'll believe it when the documents confirm it.)
**2.5-3.9**: Mixed. Some truth, some spin. Standard political speech territory.
**1.0-2.4**: The documents contradict most of what he said.
**0**: He didn't mention Epstein at all while survivors sat in the gallery. The silence IS the score.
The Point
329,000+ government-released documents. Searchable in seconds. Free.
You don't need a journalist to tell you what's in the files. You don't need a politician to decide which pages you can see. You don't need a pundit to interpret what "I hardly knew him" means when there are 1,000+ documents saying otherwise.
The government released these files. We made them searchable. Tonight, you can score the speech against the government's own evidence.
That's the whole point of a search engine. Use it.
