The Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files has become a political disaster because years of promises about transparency ran headfirst into the Justice Department's refusal to back the most explosive public expectations. Senior White House officials, including Vice President JD Vance, reportedly gathered without Trump in the Situation Room to manage the fallout after the DOJ and FBI said there was no “client list,” no confirmed blackmail operation, and that Epstein's death was a suicide. That answer did not calm anything down. It infuriated survivors, transparency advocates, Democrats, and a large part of Trump's own base, many of whom believed the administration had promised to expose the people Epstein protected, served, or compromised.The larger problem is that Epstein remains a trust-destroying scandal because the public has never believed the government gave a full accounting of who enabled him, who benefited from him, and who was protected when the system closed ranks. The White House tried to contain the issue, but the response only deepened the perception that powerful names were still being shielded. With Congress continuing to demand answers, major figures like Bill Gates being pulled into closed-door questioning, and polling showing broad public skepticism, the Epstein files have become more than a legal matter. They are now a political grenade, exposing the gap between campaign promises, institutional self-protection, and the public's belief that elite accountability is still mostly theater.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Inside Trump's White House, the Epstein Files Caused a Freakout - The New York Times

Marjorie Taylor Greene shares how Trump called her directly and said his friends would get hurt if the Epstein files were released. That phone call is what ended her career in Congress. Marjorie is a mother, businesswoman, and Christian nationalist who represented Georgia's 14th Congressional district in Washington, DC.She walked away from five years inside a system she now describes as a thousand times more corrupt than most Americans imagine. The Republican Party she gave millions to never defended her. The president she campaigned for called her a traitor.This conversation looks at how presidents get compromised before they take office, why loyalty to one man turned MAGA into a cult, and what happens in the rooms where votes get changed at 3:00 AM. She names the donors, the lobbies, and the admission from Trump that broke her loyalty.We also get into Iran, Christian Zionism, the Q Anon psyop, Operation Warp Speed, and why she believes RFK Jr. is being squeezed inside HHS. Her honesty about being wrong about Trump in 2020 is the most unexpected part. If you have ever wondered whether voting harder fixes any of this, her answer is no.You'll learn:[00:00] Introduction[05:58] The phone call from Trump that ended her career[17:45] Why every president is compromised before day one[20:31] How donors and PACs actually buy policy positions[37:21] What really happens in Congress between 3 and 4 AM[49:38] Trump's personal admission about the Epstein files[54:48] Why she now believes she was wrong about Trump in 2020[01:03:04] The truth about Christian Zionism most pastors will not sayFind more from Marjorie:Marjorie Taylor Greene | XMarjorie Taylor Greene | InstagramFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:New Biology Clinic: Redefine Health from the Ground UpExperience tailored terrain-based health services with consults, livestreams, movement classes, and more.

In what was the third major attempt on President Donald Trump's life in an era of escalating political violence, this year's White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) dinner was abruptly cut short when multiple shots were fired, and a man was apprehended for trying to breach security.The 31-year-old suspect, Cole Allen, could face up to life in prison.Joining us today is Sean Spicer, who previously served as White House press secretary and White House communications director during the first Trump administration. Now, he's the host of the Sean Spicer Show and author of the newly released book, “Trump 2.0: The Revolution That Will Permanently Transform America.”Spicer is known for being a vocal critic of the WHCA for over a decade and has long refused invitations to attend its events. At the time of the shooting incident, he was on his way to the Renwick Museum Gallery to attend Substack's annual alternative to the WHCA dinner called “The New Media.”In this episode, we get his reaction to what happened, his new book “Trump 2.0,” and why he argues the second Trump administration will be far more consequential for America than the first.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.
White House
Beim White House Correspondents' Dinner, einem der traditionsreichsten Abende der US-Hauptstadt, fallen plötzlich Schüsse. Donald Trump wird evakuiert, Kabinettsmitglieder werden aus dem Saal gebracht, Journalistinnen und Journalisten werfen sich unter die Tische. Was als symbolträchtiger Auftritt des Präsidenten vor der versammelten Hauptstadtpresse beginnen sollte, endet in Chaos, Angst und neuen Fragen zur Sicherheit im Herzen Washingtons.
Instead of peace talks today, the US-Iran ceasefire is on the brink of collapsing and the Strait of Hormuz is heating up. Despite the two-week deadline expiring today, JD Vance never boarded a plane to Pakistan for negotiations and neither did anyone from Iran. Instead, Donald Trump has extended the ceasefire indefinitely and the IRGC has today attacked several more international ships.Is the war about to restart? Venetia Rainey and Roland Oliphant are joined by chief foreign affairs commentator David Blair and foreign correspondent Akhtar Makoii to discuss the latest news, decode the signals from each side and explain what might happen next. Plus, Roland chats to Richard Mead, editor-in-chief of the maritime industry bible Lloyd's List, about the wider implications of the Strait of Hormuz being in “utter chaos”, how ships are increasingly going dark to avoid detection, and China's role in everything.

With the public outraged over the US-Israeli war with Iran, the Epstein Files coverup, and a cost-of-living crisis, even President Trump's base of supporters is fracturing, and Republicans are fixing to get slammed in the upcoming midterm elections. Perhaps that explains why Trump and MAGA Republicans are obsessively focused on attacking voting rights, taking federal control over the electoral system, and preemptively casting doubt on the midterm election results before the elections even happen. TRNN Editor-in-Chief Maximillian Alvarez speaks with Ari Berman, national voting rights correspondent for Mother Jones, about MAGA Republicans' effort to rig the midterms—and what can be done to stop it. Guest: Ari Berman is Mother Jones' national voting rights correspondent. He's the author of the new book Minority Rule: The Right-Wing Attack on the Will of the People—and the Fight to Resist It, as well as Give Us the Ballot: The Modern Struggle for Voting Rights in America.Additional links/info: Ari Berman, Mother Jones, “The world is on fire. Gas prices are rising. Republicans are trying to make it harder to vote”Ari Berman, Mother Jones, “The GOP's “show us your papers” bill is the latest effort to help Trump take over elections”Credits:Studio Production / Post-Production: Cameron GranadinoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!
