The Tara Palmeri Show by Tara Palmeri

November 18, 2025 Trump Caves Under Pressure: Epstein Files Now on the Table

Why did President Trump suddenly reverse course and green-light the release of the Epstein files after fighting it all summer?

On this explosive episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara breaks down Trump’s stunning capitulation to bipartisan pressure, the mounting Republican defections (from MTG to Murkowski), the shady web tying Lisa Murkowski to Ghislaine Maxwell, and why Pam Bondi and Kash Patel at DOJ make full unredacted disclosure unlikely. She also exposes Michael Wolff’s ethically bankrupt relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — from joint bids to buy New York magazine to sending glowing draft profiles for approval — and pushes back hard on Megyn Kelly’s attempt to downplay Epstein’s crimes against 14-year-olds. Joined by Epstein survivor Stacey Williams and feminist Liz Plank, the conversation pulls no punches on Trump’s decades-long Epstein ties, the White House cover-up, and a Republican Party in open civil war.

Which part of the Epstein saga do you think will finally force real accountability — the files, the photos, or the survivors’ voices?
