Epstein Hearings Exposed: Closed Doors, No Justice
Summary
Why are the Trump administration’s Epstein hearings shrouded in secrecy?
Tara Palmeri, who joined CNN on CNN News Central, dives deep into the House Oversight Committee’s fight to pry open the Jeffrey Epstein files, revealing how the Trump administration’s delays and closed-door hearings block justice for survivors. Having investigated Epstein for over two years and hosted two gripping podcast series—Broken: Jeffrey Epstein and Power: The Maxwells—Tara exposes the questionable DOJ claim of a nonexistent "client list" and the refusal to call key figures like Alex Acosta to testify. From clandestine off-site meetings to obstructed transparency, Tara lays bare the Trump administration’s troubling tactics that continue to deny closure for Epstein’s victims.
Why is the Trump administration stalling on releasing Epstein documents?
