Trump, Epstein & the Money Trail That Protected Them Both

What hidden financial pipeline linked Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein's empire of blackmail and global influence?

On this illuminating episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, join host Tara Palmeri for a riveting deep dive with investigative journalist Zev Shalev, the powerhouse behind Narativ, as they trace the money trail that shielded Epstein for decades. From the dropped money laundering probe that federal prosecutors abandoned despite $1.1 billion in suspicious JP Morgan transactions, to Epstein's loyal billionaire bankers who kept him as a client post-conviction, this episode uncovers how a college dropout accessed presidents, prime ministers, and oligarchs. They explore Epstein's role as a potential intelligence asset for the US, Israel, and beyond—bragging of ties to Putin, Ehud Barak, and African dictators—while deploying young women as honey traps in a KGB-style operation spanning finance, tech, academia, and politics.

Which overlooked money trail in Epstein's network deserves the next subpoena?
