Tara Palmeri joins Jim Acosta to unpack Trump’s extraordinary 60 Minutes moment — when he volunteered “I am not a rapist, I am not a pedophile” without being asked — and why it echoes Bill Clinton’s infamous Monica Lewinsky denial. They break down the ongoing Epstein files cover-up: only 1% of the FBI’s 40 terabytes have been released, Todd Blanch is acting as both Trump’s former defense attorney and acting AG overseeing the files, and Katie Fang just filed a lawsuit accusing the administration of violating the Epstein Transparency Act. They also discuss the Michael Tracy incident at the Virginia Giuffre memorial and the Substack party, where Tracy harassed Julie K. Brown and was removed by security — and why someone would make a hobby out of targeting Epstein survivors and the reporters who broke the story.
