Epstein Files: Trump Loses Grip on Congress

What long-buried Epstein-Maxwell ties to Trump could unravel everything we thought we knew about their shared past?

On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara Palmeri joins Brianna Keilar on CNN News Central to dissect fresh whistleblower claims of Ghislaine Maxwell's push for a sentence commutation under a potential Trump administration, exploring the decades-long friendship forged through her father Robert Maxwell and parties on Trump's yacht. Newly released emails spotlight Epstein's directive to Maxwell about a victim's hours spent with Trump at his home, contrasted against Maxwell's recent denials and Virginia Giuffre's firsthand accounts of polite interactions amid her trafficking ordeals—details drawn from Palmeri's deep reporting on the Broken: Jeffrey Epstein podcast. As survivor rallies intensify at the Capitol and House Republicans like Don Bacon and Tim Burchett signal support for a discharge petition, Palmeri breaks down the mounting pressure on Speaker Johnson to accelerate the vote on releasing the obscene files, questioning whether this transparency battle marks a rare Trump override.

What overlooked Maxwell email clue might finally force a full accounting of Trump's Epstein orbit?
