Reasonably Optimistic

Why does the Epstein story keep on going?

Listen Later

Try as he might, President Trump cannot seem to shake the controversy over his former friend Jeffrey Epstein.

Dana Milbank, Jason Willick and James Hohmann discuss how this story might end, and whether it’s the one scandal that could finally stick to “the Teflon Don.”
