Why did Elon Musk promise to release Jeffrey Epstein’s files to Virginia Giuffre, only to break her trust?

In this compelling episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara Palmeri unveils an exclusive look into Virginia Giuffre’s direct messages with Elon Musk on X, where he vowed to release Jeffrey Epstein’s files to aid her pursuit of justice, only to weaponize them for political gain, deepening the betrayal that marked Virginia’s tragic end as Ghislaine Maxwell edges toward clemency. Drawing from her investigative podcast "Broken: Jeffrey Epstein," Tara shares Virginia’s hopeful journey, including her emotional handwritten note—read by Virginia in this episode—to former Epstein chef Adam Perry Lang, now a celebrity chef and friend of Jimmy Kimmel, urging him to testify about the horrors she endured, though he never responded. Joined by Kristy Greenberg and Claire McCaskill on Nicolle Wallace’s Deadline: White House, Tara further explores the systemic failures and political theater that continue to leave Epstein’s victims, like Virginia, in the dark, with no justice in sight.

Do you think Elon Musk should still release the Epstein files to honor his promise to Virginia Giuffre?

Why did the Trump administration cancel their alleged "emergency summit" on the Epstein scandal at JD Vance's home, and what were they really trying to hide?

In this riveting collaboration of The Tara Palmeri Show and Don Lemon Show, veteran journalist Tara Palmeri explores the latest twists in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, zeroing in on the Trump administration’s attempts to control the narrative. From denials of a secret “emergency summit” at JD Vance’s home—allegedly involving top officials Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, and Susie Wiles—to Ghislaine Maxwell’s convenient claim that Trump had “nothing to do” with Epstein, Tara dissects the corruption and contradictions. Joined by Don Lemon, Tara and Don debate whether this could fracture MAGA loyalty or lead to pardons for Maxwell and others, leaving justice for victims in limbo.

Was the canceled "emergency summit" a desperate attempt to cover up Epstein’s secrets, or something else entirely?
