The Tara Palmeri Show

• Tapes, photos, testimony: Inside the Epstein Files

  Who is the DOJ frantically protecting with those black-bar redactions right now? On this urgent episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, investigative journalist Tara Palmeri joins CNN’s Erin Burnett hours after the historic 427-1 House vote to demand full Epstein file transparency, warning that the celebration could be short-lived as the DOJ—already caught redacting Trump’s name from FOIA releases since summer—prepares to slow-walk or black-bar the 300+GB trove. Tara exposes how hundreds of officials have spent months scrubbing documents, details the hidden videos and photos seized from Epstein’s properties that survivors say recorded everything, and reveals why Epstein may have been protected as a valuable FBI informant on cases like the Bear Stearns and Financial Towers scandals—comparing him to a “Whitey Bulger-type” asset whose usefulness could still shield billionaires, royals, and power brokers from exposure. Which name still hiding behind those black redactions would finally force real accountability?

• Trump vs. the Epstein Files: Will His Name Survive the Redactions?

  What unbreakable bonds between power brokers and predators are finally forcing a reckoning in Washington? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, investigative journalist Tara Palmeri joins MSNBC's Chris Hayes to unpack the stunning congressional push for Epstein file transparency, from Trump's campaign-trail waffling on declassification to the bipartisan 430-1 House vote landing on his desk amid survivor vigils and mounting Republican defections. The discussion dives into the DOJ's early redactions scrubbing Trump's name from documents, Pam Bondi's role as a direct Trump apparatchik poised to stonewall releases, and the international intrigue tying Epstein to figures like Mohammed bin Salman, Ehud Barak, and Prince Andrew. Attorney Eric Fudd, representing 11 Epstein victims, shares cautious optimism from the candlelight vigil breakthrough while warning of demoralizing delays and the fight ahead for unredacted accountability, including unseen files on the Alex Acosta plea deal and Epstein's value as an intelligence asset in cases like the $300 million Financial Towers Ponzi scheme. What redactions in the Epstein files reveal the most about Trump's true stake in keeping them buried?

• Will Trump Censor the Epstein Files?

  Why does President Trump's team keep redacting the Epstein files before they even reach his desk? On this riveting episode of The Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins Katy Tur on MSNBC to unpack the escalating push for full disclosure of Jeffrey Epstein's documents amid Trump's Oval Office outburst at ABC's Mary Bruce over a straightforward question on releasing them. The discussion exposes Trump's deflection tactics, reminiscent of his past IRS audit excuses, and the influence of Pam Bondi, whose shifting claims—from boasting about an "Epstein list" to dismissing third-party perpetrators—raise doubts about impartial oversight in the reopened investigation. Drawing from Tara's firsthand reporting, the conversation honors Virginia Giuffre's decade-long battle for acknowledgment, her courageous cross-country pursuit of truth from Epstein's inner circle, and the profound impact of her posthumously published book in amplifying survivors' voices against political exploitation. Joined by panelists including Cornell Belcher and Brendan Buck, the segment highlights the bipartisan momentum forcing this issue to the forefront while questioning the integrity of any forthcoming releases. What role should survivors' legacies play in shielding Epstein's files from partisan games?

• Why Trump Is TERRIFIED of the Full Epstein Release

  Why is Donald Trump suddenly saying he’s “all in” on releasing the Epstein files when he could have done it months ago? On this explosive crossover episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, Tara joins CNN’s Jim Acosta to break down the latest bombshell developments in the Jeffrey Epstein saga: Trump’s suspicious flip-flop on the files, the near-unanimous pressure building in Congress, the DOJ’s history of redactions and cover-ups, and why powerful people on both sides of the aisle are still terrified of what’s coming. From the survivors’ heartbreaking new video on Capitol Hill to the damning 2011 Epstein emails, the hidden cameras, and the real possibility that the public will only ever see heavily censored documents, nothing is off limits in this no-holds-barred conversation. Which names do you think will still be blacked out when (and if) these files finally drop?

• Trump Surrenders: Epstein Files Bill Moves Forward With GOP Support

  What forced Donald Trump to wave the white flag on the Epstein files just days after attacking Republicans who dared defy him? On this explosive episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, fresh from her appearance on CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront, Tara Palmeri breaks down the stunning collapse of Trump’s opposition to the Epstein files release bill as House Republicans—including nearly every former holdout—line up for what now looks like a landslide vote. Drawing on years of reporting, Tara reveals FBI confirmation of videos and photographs still locked away, Virginia Giuffre’s chilling experience trying to identify abusers from evidentiary images, and why survivors remain guardedly hopeful after decades of betrayals from sweetheart deals to Ghislaine Maxwell’s country-club prison. With Trump’s weekend fury aimed at Rep. Thomas Massie giving way to capitulation under pressure from Mike Johnson and the GOP caucus, the conversation exposes the president-elect’s sudden U-turn, the leverage of party unity over personal loyalty, and the looming battle over redactions once Pam Bondi and Kash Patel take control of the DOJ.
