Megyn begins the show by discussing the possibility that the Trump administration will be releasing more information on Jeffrey Epstein now, why the story really matters even if it isn’t the most important story in the country or world, the need for journalists to stay on it and get to the truth, the nuances in the Epstein and Sean “Diddy” Combs cases, why not all alleged victims are to be believed, the hypocrisy from some in the press who covered for former President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline now trying to spin Epstein to hurt President Donald Trump, and more.
Then, Vicky Ward, author of The Idaho Four, joins to discuss the facts we know about whether Epstein was an intel asset or “belonged to intelligence,” the significance of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell, former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta’s past non-answers, the details of Epstein’s strange career path, how he supposedly got wealthy, the circles he ran in that included former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former President Bill Clinton, how he was able to get a cushy plea deal, how Epstein threatened Ward’s unborn children while she investigated his finances and real estate for Vanity Fair, how he infiltrated newsrooms to manipulate coverage, why his intimidation tactics went unchecked for years, new reporting about the roommate who was Bryan Kohberger’s main target, his behavior mirroring past killers, how investigators used DNA technology to crack what was nearly the perfect crime, and more.
