What immediate breaking news about Ghislaine Maxwell and the DOJ kicks off the show?
Emergency, emergency. All hands on deck. That is what's going on right now at the White House, in Trump world, in MAGA world. Emergency, emergency. All hands on deck. What do we do? How do we save this narrative? How do we save Donald Trump? How do we save this administration when they should be concerned with what? How do they save victims from happening again? How do they save sanity for people who are having to deal with these types, sadly, types of issues? That is the true emergency, but it's emergency. That's the true emergency, but the one at the White House. Let's get real. Good evening, everybody. Welcome, Lemon Nation. Hello, Detroit. Hello, Louisiana. Hello, Austin, Texas. We're so glad that everybody is here.
Lemon Live at 5. We have a great show for you. We have a journalist who knows everything about this Epstein trial. As a matter of fact, she wrote about it. But I don't know if you guys saw the latest developments. We told you exactly what we told you this morning has occurred. We told you that, and I told you not even just this morning, but before, that Ghislaine Maxwell, they would release some information or leak it to say that Ghislaine Maxwell saw nothing, Donald Trump do nothing wrong. And that is what's happening right now. We're going to talk about that emergency summit. That was our breaking news this morning. But they say that Ghislaine Maxwell has spoken and in the interview that she has said nothing was wrong.
I think we have a story or tweet about that, that nothing was wrong. Tara Palmieri is here. I don't know if she's joining us now. Is Tara in the thing yet? She is? Okay. We'll bring Tara on in just a minute. But there it is. Ghislaine Maxwell told the DOJ Trump never did anything concerning around her. That's what sources are saying. Hi, Tara Palmieri. How are you doing?
Hey, Don. How are you?
I'm great. Tara Palmieri is a veteran journalist, the author of The Red Letter on Substack and the host of The Tara Palmieri Show here on YouTube. And also she's written about it on Substack and written about it before she's interviewed a lot of folks involved in this.
I did two podcasts. I spent two years investigating this with Julie K. Brown, the woman who broke the story open. So I know a lot about it.
So, Tara, we'll talk about this emergency. We're calling it Emergency Summit. But right now, let's talk about the sources. When they say sources, according to sources, someone leaked this to journalists so that they could spread it. Oh, there's nothing wrong. And what say you? Is it working? Is it backfiring? It's kind of a yawn when I heard about it. I was like, eh.
I don't know, Don. I was talking to my producer, Eric, and he's, you know, he's pretty MAGA. And he thinks it's scandalous, especially this Epstein summit. Yeah, he does. He voted for Trump. And he thinks the Epstein summit at the White House where J.D. Vance, Kash Patel, one of the top, you know, the person who was calling for the Epstein files to be released, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Yeah.
Pam Bondi, who promised to release the files, Attorney General Todd Blanch, Deputy Attorney General, you know, they're all getting together and they're trying to figure out how to spin the narrative to work for them. Should they release the tapes? Should they do a press conference? Should they go on Joe Rogan?
I think that's a bad idea, Tara, for them to release those tapes. And also, let's just you and I talk, and we'll get into the details here. Let's think about it. We've been involved in the media a long time. You've been covering this for two years. And you know, if you've been covering it for this long.
More than two years, but it took two years to do those pods. But yeah, I've been covering it for a long, long time.
Okay, yes. And it started, the hysteria around it Basically came from the right. Donald Trump mentioned this was the first to our knowledge and at least to the reporting that I've seen to mention it in a public arena when being questioned. I don't know if it was. I'm not sure what it was, but he was at some political event on stage and they asked him about it.
