The Tara Palmeri Show

• Trump scrambles to contain Epstein fallout with Don Lemon

  Why did the Trump administration cancel their alleged "emergency summit" on the Epstein scandal at JD Vance's home, and what were they really trying to hide? In this riveting collaboration of The Tara Palmeri Show and Don Lemon Show, veteran journalist Tara Palmeri explores the latest twists in the Jeffrey Epstein saga, zeroing in on the Trump administration’s attempts to control the narrative. From denials of a secret “emergency summit” at JD Vance’s home—allegedly involving top officials Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, and Susie Wiles—to Ghislaine Maxwell’s convenient claim that Trump had “nothing to do” with Epstein, Tara dissects the corruption and contradictions. Joined by Don Lemon, Tara and Don debate whether this could fracture MAGA loyalty or lead to pardons for Maxwell and others, leaving justice for victims in limbo. Was the canceled "emergency summit" a desperate attempt to cover up Epstein’s secrets, or something else entirely?
