First Dump of Epstein Files Lands on Capitol Hill, David Cay Johnston Joins 8/19/25

First, there were Epstein files waiting to be reviewed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Then, Bondi said there were no files and no Epstein client list. Then, the clients were well known Democrats, according to Trump & Co. Now, there are Epstein files and they are being sent to Congress as part of House Oversight Committee chair James Comer’s ridiculous effort to keep the attention off the Trump-Epstein connection. The Justice Department will reportedly start to turn over Epstein-related materials this Friday. After the roller coaster ride of disinformation regarding the files, does anyone believe that Trump allies haven’t sanitized all related documents where Trump is concerned? We are so fortunate to have two Pulitzer Prize wnning athors and journalists the show. David Cay Johnston joins to talk politics. Michael Hiltzik with the LA Times will drop by to talk Russia, Ukraine and the economy. The Mark Thompson Show 8/19/25Patreon subscribers are the backbone of the show!
