What this episode covers

Michael is joined by political analyst Mark Halperin for a deep dive into the explosive Wall Street Journal report on Jeffrey Epstein’s “birthday book” and its alleged Trump connection. They unpack what the Journal got wrong, the media’s credibility crisis, why the House abruptly adjourned, and what Ghislaine Maxwell’s potential testimony could reveal. Plus: how Epstein’s legacy still haunts Washington — and could shape 2026 and 2028 politics.
