The Challenge of Truth Amid Controversy

Today, Mark Halperin breaks down why the Trump–Epstein scandal won’t go away—and why it may be more politically dangerous than any controversy Trump has faced before. He unpacks what to watch for in Trump’s social media posts and what might be driving his cryptic responses to questions about Ghislaine Maxwell.

Then, Rep. Ro Khanna explains why Epstein has become the defining symbol of government transparency—and why Congress must act now to stop the conspiracy spiral. He lays out the bipartisan push for a new investigation and why the pressure for answers is hitting a breaking point.

Plus, Dan Turrentine and Batya Ungar-Sargon join Mark to debate what the media is missing while the Trump–Epstein story dominates the headlines—from Tulsi Gabbard’s explosive “deep state” allegations to whether Hillary Clinton lost in 2016 because of Russia… or her own campaign.
