The Trump–Epstein scandal just got another jolt, this time courtesy of a new Wall Street Journal report. The story reveals a bawdy birthday letter sent from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s. It’s crude, it’s creepy, and it confirms what many have long suspected: Trump and Epstein were far closer than he wants anyone to believe. Now Trump is threatening to sue over the article (classic move), but the damage may already be done. So how is MAGA reacting? Are they still buying the “we weren’t close” line? Or is the base starting to crack under the weight of receipts? We’ll break it all down, what this letter means, why Trump’s scrambling, and where this scandal might head next. Buckle up.

The Trump–Epstein file scandal just keeps spiraling. Now, in a truly bizarre twist, Trump is turning on his own supporters, lashing out at those demanding answers and calling the Epstein investigation a “hoax.” Joining us to unpack it all is Rep.

It’s revealing. And it’s far from over. Let’s get into it. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

Congressman Ro Khanna joins us live after introducing a bill to force the release of the Epstein files, and every single Republican voted against it. Yes, the same Republicans who claim to fight for “truth” and “transparency.” The same MAGA movement that once demanded these files be made public. So what happened? What are they hiding? What are they so afraid of? And how does a promise to "release the files" turn into "there are no files"...and then "there are files, but they were written by the democrats"?!? We'll dig into it all with Rep. Khanna, the politics, the hypocrisy, and why accountability seems to vanish when it gets too close to home. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
