Where Did Jeffrey Epstein’s Money Come From?

Why is the Trump DOJ still scrubbing Epstein files to shield powerful figures even after their public release? On this unflinching crossover episode of the Tara Palmeri Show with PoliticsGirl host Leigh McGowan, veteran investigative journalist Tara Palmeri draws on years of deep reporting—including her acclaimed podcasts "Broken: Jeffrey Epstein" and "Power: The Maxwells"—to unpack the multi-decade sex trafficking operation, its enablers across governments and elites, the historic 2008 sweetheart deal that let Epstein evade real justice, Ghislaine Maxwell's central role in procuring victims, potential intelligence ties, and the ongoing cover-up in the latest redacted file dumps that defy congressional mandates while taxpayers foot the bill to protect perpetrators. How far will demands for full transparency and accountability go before real justice finally arrives for the survivors?
