Epstein Files Countdown: Trump DOJ Faces a Critical Deadline

Why is the Trump DOJ missing the critical deadline to release the full Epstein files? On this urgent episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, dive into the high-stakes drama surrounding the December 19 deadline for the Department of Justice to disclose all unclassified Epstein documents, including flight logs, internal communications, and investigative materials—forcing accountability after years of delays and broken promises across administrations. Tara Palmeri breaks down the missed deadline, the partial late-night release, heavy redactions protecting powerful figures, Ghislaine Maxwell's revelations about 25 secret settlements with potential co-conspirators, the infamous sweetheart deal, ignored victim reports dating back decades, and potential intelligence ties. Featured is Tara's appearance on Katy Tur's MSNBC program alongside top Epstein reporters Vicky Ward, Tom Dupree, and David Enrich as they dissect expectations for financial trails, draft indictments, victim depositions, Trump's documented connections, and why trust in the DOJ remains shattered amid threats of lawsuits. What names or details do you expect—or fear—will stay hidden in the redactions?
