DOJ Won’t Prosecute Anyone Else in the Epstein Case — Here’s Why

The Justice Department released millions of pages tied to Jeffrey Epstein — but weeks later, no new charges have followed. Why? Michael Smerconish sits down with former federal prosecutor and Politico senior writer Ankush Khardori to unpack what the Epstein files actually reveal — and what they don’t. Was there evidence of a broader international child sex trafficking ring? Did the DOJ cover anything up? And why haven’t powerful associates been charged? Khardori breaks down a pivotal 86-page memo written after Epstein’s death, addresses the credibility questions surrounding key allegations, and explains why prosecutors may have concluded there simply wasn’t a viable criminal case against others. Plus, Michael takes calls from listeners who aren’t convinced — raising questions about power, accountability, and whether justice was truly served.
