The FBI Was Watching More Than Just Epstein
Why did the Department of Justice track journalist Julie K. Brown's flights just before Epstein's arrest?
On this chilling episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC's Deadline White House alongside legal analyst Kristy Greenberg and Andrew Weissmann to unpack shocking revelations from the latest Epstein document dumps. The panel dives into the DOJ's surveillance of Miami Herald reporter Julie K. Brown in July 2019, Tara's own eerie experiences of potential FBI monitoring while interviewing witnesses with Virginia Giuffre, newly uncovered flight logs showing Donald Trump traveled on Epstein's jet far more times than previously admitted, Trump's public denials clashing with his administration's records, and broader questions about redactions, delays, and protection of powerful figures in the ongoing Epstein saga.
What other secrets from the Epstein files do you think powerful people are most desperate to keep hidden?

The GOP’s “Lady Problem”: Women Snap Over Trad Wife Politics
Why are Republican women across Washington and the country pushing back against the party's loudest voices promoting trad wife ideals?
On this revealing episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, senior political correspondent at the Daily Mail Elina Shirazi joins to break down the growing backlash among GOP women to misogynistic rhetoric in the MAGA movement. From calls to repeal the 19th Amendment and fantasies of single-income households led by men, to the hypocrisy of figures like Erica Kirk running massive organizations while urging others to prioritize family over careers—Shirazi shares insights from her reporting on disenchanted female voters, congressional rebels like Elise Stefanik, military women, and influential conservative podcasters including Brett Cooper and Tomi Lahren who are calling out the party's puritanical turn. They discuss how economic realities make the trad wife vision unworkable for most families, the lack of true female role models in the administration, and why this "lady problem" could spell trouble for Republicans heading into the midterms.
How will this wave of discontent among women reshape the future of the GOP?

Where Did Jeffrey Epstein’s Money Come From?
Why is the Trump DOJ still scrubbing Epstein files to shield powerful figures even after their public release?
On this unflinching crossover episode of the Tara Palmeri Show with PoliticsGirl host Leigh McGowan, veteran investigative journalist Tara Palmeri draws on years of deep reporting—including her acclaimed podcasts "Broken: Jeffrey Epstein" and "Power: The Maxwells"—to unpack the multi-decade sex trafficking operation, its enablers across governments and elites, the historic 2008 sweetheart deal that let Epstein evade real justice, Ghislaine Maxwell's central role in procuring victims, potential intelligence ties, and the ongoing cover-up in the latest redacted file dumps that defy congressional mandates while taxpayers foot the bill to protect perpetrators.
How far will demands for full transparency and accountability go before real justice finally arrives for the survivors?

Epstein Files Make Trump Allegations — The DOJ Wants Them Ignored
What unbreakable ties between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein are finally surfacing in the latest document flood?
On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, guest host Jim Acosta and investigative journalist Tara Palmeri dive deep into the chaotic release of nearly 30,000 additional Jeffrey Epstein files just before Christmas. The discussion uncovers startling details including Trump's documented flights on Epstein's plane (many more than previously known, some alongside Ghislaine Maxwell), a disturbing letter from Epstein to Larry Nassar referencing Trump's alleged preferences, multiple victim accounts naming Trump alongside other high-profile figures, ignored subpoenas to Mar-a-Lago, and the DOJ's defensive statement dismissing claims as "unfounded" without clear evidence. The conversation explores the timing of the disclosures, questions about redactions and incompetence, the reality of Epstein's sex trafficking network, and the ongoing impact on victims treated as collateral damage.
What do these latest revelations mean for accountability in the Epstein case?

Epstein Complained to Larry Nassar That Trump Got Away With It
What does Jeffrey Epstein's handwritten letter to Larry Nassar reveal about who really "got away with it" in the eyes of convicted predators?
On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, the latest Justice Department Epstein files dump—conveniently released just two days before Christmas—delivers a series of deeply disturbing revelations. A certified handwritten note from Epstein himself laments that while he and Nassar ended up in prison, President Trump seemingly escaped scrutiny for similar interests in young women. The DOJ's accompanying statement dismisses claims as unfounded while simultaneously redacting Trump's name (after initially unredacting it), raising serious questions about whose interests are truly being protected. Additional documents highlight Prince Andrew's procurement requests, Epstein's fake passport with Saudi ties, disturbing victim accounts of manipulated imagery, and uninvestigated tips involving Trump from the 1990s onward. The release even includes a long-debunked fake video of Epstein's hanging, underscoring a troubling lack of seriousness toward victims.
How much longer will these leads remain uninvestigated while victims continue to be treated as collateral damage?

Trump’s Epstein Files Release Was Political Warfare — and the Victims Paid the Price
Why did the Trump DOJ turn the Epstein files release into a blatant political weapon while victims wait decades for justice?
On this hard-hitting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara breaks down the disappointing and politically charged release of Jeffrey Epstein's files, highlighting how the DOJ missed the congressional deadline, front-loaded damaging photos of Bill Clinton, initially removed an image of President Trump only to restore it after backlash, failed to redact a victim's name, and offered no explanations for extensive black bars. Joined on MSNBC's Katy Tur Reports (hosted by Erielle Reshef) by investigative journalist Vicky Ward and others, Tara calls out the administration for treating the files as a cudgel against enemies rather than prioritizing the grave injustices faced by survivors abused by powerful men across administrations.
How much longer will the Justice Department keep shielding perpetrators and sidelining Epstein's victims?

Is America Being Lied To? Democrat Michael LaRosa v Republican Erin Maguire Debate
Is America really getting the full truth from leaders on both sides of the aisle?
On this hard-hitting episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, veteran Republican strategist Erin Maguire (formerly Erin Perrine), who served as Trump's deputy communications director and press secretary to Speaker Kevin McCarthy, faces off against Democrat strategist Michael LaRosa, former press secretary to Jill Biden and top aide to Nancy Pelosi. These Washington insiders, who have spent years defending power, go head-to-head on presidential transparency about health, foreign policy blunders like Afghanistan and the narco boat incidents, economic handling through tariffs and stimulus, immigration raids, the Epstein files controversy, midterm positioning, and the road to 2028.

Trump Targets Clinton in First Epstein Files Dump
Why does the first batch of Epstein files feature so many photos of Bill Clinton while Trump remains absent?
On this explosive crossover episode of the Tara Palmeri Show with Jim Acosta, dive into the real-time reaction as the Department of Justice drops the initial phase of declassified Epstein files, including hundreds of thousands of documents, photographs of Epstein's properties and lifestyle, Jane Doe complaints, Bureau of Prisons video footage from the night of his death, and multiple images prominently featuring Bill Clinton alongside Epstein—raising questions about political timing and selective redactions amid Trump's directives to investigate Democrats tied to the case.
What stands out most in these newly released Epstein files?

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?
