Tonight, Don Lemon is joined by Mark Epstein (yes, that Epstein, Jeffrey Epstein’s brother) for an unfiltered conversation about the latest twists in a case that just won’t go away. From alleged ties to Donald Trump, to the bizarre about-face on releasing Epstein’s files (first promised, now suddenly never existed), we ask: what does Mark really make of it all? What’s true, what’s spin, and who’s trying to keep the truth buried? If you’ve been wondering why powerful names keep dodging accountability, you won’t want to miss this.

Don Lemon sits down with journalist and author Michael Wolff to unpack some explosive claims: namely, that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein weren’t just acquaintances, they were best friends who "hunted women together." So why hasn’t Trump faced even a fraction of the scrutiny from his base or the media? And how convenient is it that the Epstein files, once promised to the public, suddenly no longer exist? From credibility questions to political hypocrisy, Don and Michael dive deep into what this says about Trump’s orbit, his enablers, and the disturbing erasure of accountability.
