Trump & Epstein: The Swamp’s Darkest Secret

Why are the Epstein files still hidden, and what does Trump's opposition mean for justice? Join Tara Palmeri on this gripping episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, in collaboration with Larry Wilmore's Black on the Air, as they dive deep into the Jeffrey Epstein saga. From Thomas Massie’s bold push to release the Epstein files to Trump’s reported resistance, Tara unravels the layers of this complex story involving power, privilege, and a two-tiered justice system. Hear about the survivors’ fight for transparency, the redacted documents fueling public frustration, and the chilling questions surrounding Epstein’s death. With insights into Ghislaine Maxwell’s role, potential pardons, and the elite’s efforts to keep secrets buried, this episode exposes the rot in Washington and asks whether justice for Epstein’s victims is possible in 2025.
