What secrets lie behind the Epstein files, and why is the truth about Katie Johnson still shrouded in mystery? In this exclusive episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins forces with Reed Galen, author of The Home Front, to dive deep into the unresolved allegations surrounding Katie Johnson, a Jane Doe who accused Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump of heinous acts in 1994. Tara shares exclusive insights from her investigative reporting, including interviews with Michael Cohen and Katie Johnson’s attorney, shedding light on the intimidation tactics that led to the case being dropped days before the 2016 election. Together, Tara and Reed explore the political implications, the GOP’s silence, and the tangled web of power protecting these secrets. This collaboration between Tara’s Red Letter and Reed’s The Home Front Substack uncovers why the Epstein files remain sealed and what’s at stake if the truth comes out.
