Trump’s Epstein Cover-Up, Live with John Aravosis

On tonight’s show, I’m discussing the Trump administration’s increasingly ridiculous Epstein cover-up. JD Vance claims he reviewed most of the six million pages in the Epstein files -- something that would have taken nearly two years without stopping to eat, sleep or pee. Then he insisted there was no “credible” evidence against Trump, which of course means there was evidence; Vance simply decided we shouldn’t be allowed to judge it for ourselves. Todd Blanche offered his own absurd excuses for why millions of pages remain hidden and why he supposedly cannot meet with Epstein’s victims -- even though he had no problem meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell.

I’ll also show you the new tarp Trump put around the drained Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool after reporters couldn’t find the enormous gash his administration claimed was there. Even worse for Trump, attorneys for David Hearn say the photograph of the damaged liner was taken before Hearn ever touched the water -- meaning the damage was already there.

Then there’s Trump reversing restrictions on ICE vehicle stops after MAGA complained; Pete Hegseth turning the Pentagon into a testosterone infomercial while blocking women from becoming Navy admirals; Trump spending $3 billion to keep the National Guard wandering around Washington through 2029; E. Jean Carroll’s devastating description of Trump; and the new Trump gold coin, which joins the ever-growing list of government buildings, programs, ships, passports and public institutions Trump has plastered with his own name and face.

Finally, some genuinely encouraging polling: Democrats, Republicans and even MAGA voters overwhelmingly view Russia as unfriendly or an enemy. Americans sympathize with Ukraine by an enormous margin, and even MAGA voters are narrowly supportive of continued military aid. It has also now been 500 days since Trump told Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine had “no cards.”

And during the aftershow, breaking news dropped that JD Vance tried to use Marine Two -- at as much as $24,000 an hour -- to fly his elementary-school-age son to a golf lesson. His own Secret Service detail was apparently so fed up that agents leaked the story.
