Episode Description

What explosive secrets in the Epstein files could unravel Trump’s grip on power as the House vote to release them looms? In this gripping episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara Palmeri joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline: White House on MSNBC, diving deep into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal’s escalating firestorm. Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva’s special election victory delivers the 218th signature on Rep. Thomas Massie’s discharge petition, forcing a House vote to unseal the files. Tara explores the high-stakes path ahead—fierce Senate pushback, Trump’s potential vulnerability amid whispers of a lewd note to Epstein, and Jimmy Kimmel’s biting late-night jab, mocking Trump’s threats against late-night hosts while tying it to his "hoax" narrative to downplay the Epstein story. She also unpacks the National Mall uproar, where a provocative 12-foot statue of Trump and Epstein holding hands, titled "Best Friends Forever," was torn down by authorities this morning amid public outrage. House Speaker Mike Johnson and the White House are leaning hard on GOP signers to abandon the petition, while Senate Republicans like John Thune stonewall Democratic amendments, all as Trump brushes it off as a "Democrat hoax" to dodge potential fallout. Tune in for Tara’s fearless take on how Epstein’s shadow could unravel Washington’s power elite in 2025. Who’s fighting hardest to keep the Epstein files sealed, and what could their release mean for Washington’s elite?
