The Theatre of Presidential Power + A Conversation with Nina Burleigh
from Mea Culpa · host Michael Cohen
Today on Mea Culpa, I’m joined by journalist and best-selling author Nina Burleigh to unpack the latest Epstein document dumps and what they reveal about power, money, and protection at the highest levels. Nina is a prolific writer, from her Substack American Freakshow to her many books, including The Trump Women: Part of the Deal, which examines the women closest to Trump. We dig into how Epstein gained extraordinary access, why so many powerful figures still fear transparency, and what the documents expose about Trump’s inner circle. We also discuss the growing risk of war in Venezuela, Trump’s latest corruption schemes, and the open white nationalism poisoning the country.
