Date: February 25, 2026

Episode Overview

This episode centers on the resurgence of scrutiny over Donald Trump’s alleged connection to Jeffrey Epstein and the broader culture of sexual misconduct and cover-ups in Congress. The Meiselas brothers unpack new developments in the Epstein documents investigation, bipartisan pushes for transparency regarding congressional sexual misconduct settlements, and international responses compared with the U.S. Department of Justice's handling. The show features notable interviews with political figures and sharp reflections on why many files remain concealed while other countries act more decisively.

Key Topics and Discussion Points

1. Epstein Files and DOJ Cover-up Allegations

• U.S. DOJ’s Handling of Epstein Documents
  The hosts detail the Department of Justice’s alleged failure to disclose key documents—specifically, at least 50 pages of FBI interviews about a survivor’s accusations against Donald Trump. There could be over 50 terabytes of missing data.
• Privilege and Ongoing Investigation Loopholes
  The DOJ claims they withhold documents due to ongoing investigations or privilege, but the hosts argue this is a tactic to bury evidence.

  "Not on the duplicates. Part, privilege or part of an ongoing federal investigation. In other words, the Trump DOJ is their own adjudicator..." (Narrator/Host, 08:17)

• Comparison to International Actions
  The UK and Poland are actively investigating their own Epstein files, with Polish officials now launching a national security investigation into the U.S.-provided Epstein data due to missing content (07:00–09:12).

2. Congressional Sexual Harassment Transparency Drive

• Bipartisan Resolution for Disclosure
  Notable MAGA Republican women—Lauren Boebert, Nancy Mace, and Anna Paulina Luna—publicly support efforts to unseal all sexual harassment settlements involving members of Congress, regardless of party.

  "I would love to see every congressman who's ever had to pay a settlement to a staffer..." (Lauren Boebert, 14:08)

• Cultural Shift and Accountability
  The episode highlights a bipartisan cultural reckoning, marked by survivor testimonies and public demands for accountability on Capitol Hill (13:16–15:13).

3. Powerful Survivor Advocacy During the State of the Union

• Epstein survivors attended the State of the Union wearing butterfly pins in honor of Virginia Giuffre and teal scarves, symbolizing solidarity and pressing for accountability (03:00–03:49).
• Survivors are central to pushing transparency, with focus on the media’s role in amplifying their voices.

4. Specific New Revelations and Documented Cover-ups

• Federal Directives Post-Epstein’s Arrest
  New documents show the feds instructed NYPD to halt investigations related to Epstein, deferring all action to federal authorities—but then failed to pursue co-conspirators (16:13–19:20).
• Congressional Testimony and Investigation Roadblocks
  Rep. Garcia confirms key survivor documents are missing from DOJ-provided files and calls the potential cover-up "incredibly serious."

  "I have seen other interviews and documentation with this survivor, but those additional documents seem to be missing..." (Congressmember Garcia, 19:20)

• Callouts to Wealthy Epstein Associates
  Rep. Thomas Massie names Leon Black, Jess Staley, and Leslie Wexner as individuals still shielded from investigation in the U.S. (20:36–23:30).

5. Widespread Skepticism Toward American Justice

• Lack of U.S. Arrests Versus Global Prosecutions
  Internationally, high-profile arrests are happening—while in the U.S., no major Epstein-related prosecutions have materialized.
• Belief that Epstein Was Protected as an Intelligence Asset
  Rep. Nancy Mace suggests Epstein's protected status is due to intelligence ties and casts doubt on any future justice:

  “I believe Epstein was an intel asset maybe of one or multiple nations, and that's why our country protected him... I have no confidence in our justice system.”
  (Nancy Mace, 24:02)

  “We see our FBI director celebrating in the locker room at the Olympics overseas... but we should be proud of this country because we have a system of justice that works—and yet we do not.”
