Is the Epstein case really closed—or is it just being buried? Investigative journalist and Tara Palmeri Show host Tara Palmeri joins Will Sommer of The Bulwark to unpack the DOJ's abrupt "case closed" memo on Jeffrey Epstein. With explosive allegations, botched investigations, and missing surveillance footage, Tara explains why many—including Trump’s own base—aren’t buying the official story. Did Pam Bondi fumble the case? Is Trump trying to kill the conversation because it hits too close to home? And why does the DOJ insist there’s “no list” when victims say otherwise? Is this the end of the Epstein investigation—or just the start of something bigger? Welcome to The Tara Palmeri Show! Tara Palmeri is one of the most feared and fearless political journalists.
