Is Melania Getting Ahead of an Epstein Bomb? Iran Ceasefire, Patriots Vrabel Affair & ICE at Coachella ft. Molly McPherson & Rep. Menendez

Melania Trump made an unannounced surprise statement about Jeffrey Epstein — and nobody asked her to. Meredith Lynch and Rebecca Sananès bring in crisis PR expert Molly McPherson to break down why Melania did it, why the timing matters, and what big story might be about to drop. Plus: Pam Bondi's deposition, the Michael Wolff case, and why Molly thinks Melania is only ever looking out for Melania.   Then: Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel and NYT reporter Diana Rossini's affair — the PR disaster, the contradictory cover stories, and why Rebecca is furious about what it means for women in journalism.   Rep. Rob Menendez (NJ-8) joins on what he actually saw inside ICE detention centers in New Jersey, the ICE surge around Coachella, the proposed 1,500-bed detention facility even Republicans don't want, Cuba, and why Trump would rather keep the Iran war going than release the Epstein files. Plus: Iran ceasefire update, and private equity profiting from ICE detention.   New episodes every Tuesday and Friday.
