Epstein’s 'Client List' and the MAGA Freakout No One Saw Coming

Epstein’s 'Client List' and the MAGA Freakout No One Saw Coming

Michael Smerconish dives into today's sizzling poll question: Do you believe Jeffrey Epstein had a list of powerful men involved in his alleged sex trafficking operations? With MAGA influencers turning on President Trump and the DOJ after them saying no list exists, Michael unpacks the media spin, David French’s NYT piece ("MAGA Tears Itself Apart Over Jeffrey Epstein" Jul. 13), and Tina Brown's eyebrow-raising commentary at the Free Press ("MAGA is Right About Jeffrey Epstein" Jul. 11). Was there ever a black book — or is this just political theater? Listen here, then vote at Smerconish.com. And please rate and review this podcast! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
