On Wednesday, Democrats released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate suggesting Donald Trump knew about Epstein’s trafficking of underage girls — with Epstein calling Trump “the dog that hasn’t barked” and noting that an alleged victim had “spent hours at my house” with him. Just hours later, after months of stonewalling, House Republicans abruptly dumped 23,000 more pages of Epstein-related documents. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear will discuss how the revelations are fueling new questions about what Trump knew, why he stayed silent, and how far the fallout will reach. Nathan J. Robinson, editor in chief of Current Affairs, joins the show to discuss the Democrats’ latest stunning capitulation to Trump, after seven Democratic Senators and one independent joined Republicans to end the government shutdown — with zero meaningful concessions. The deal offers virtually nothing to Democrats and fails to extend key healthcare subsidies, setting the stage for millions to lose insurance and see premiums skyrocket. As outrage mounts and calls grow for Chuck Schumer’s resignation, Robinson will discuss how Democratic leadership once again folded to Trump and what that means for millions of Americans already on the brink.
