Lemon LIVE at 5 | The Epstein Scandal is Destroying Trump & MAGA - July 15th, 2025

Good morning, Lemon Nation! Grab your coffee, because things are getting wild. After years of claiming he “barely knew” Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump has officially been named in the Epstein files. Yup, he’s in there. And now the deflection is in full swing. First it was accusing Obama of treason (sure…), and who knows what desperate distraction he'll throw out next. Trump is spiraling, and while he tries to outrun the truth, the rest of us are left dodging the chaos. Where does it end? And how much damage will he do on the way down? Joining us this morning to break it all down is the one and only Joy Reid. You do not want to miss this. This episode is sponsored by Lean.

Trump is now accusing Barack Obama of treason. Why? Supposedly for trying to influence the 2016 election. Let’s be honest, this isn’t about national security. It’s about distraction. The Epstein file scandal is closing in, MAGA is in meltdown mode, and Trump is flailing. So what’s the move? Classic autocrat playbook. Point fingers at your predecessor and scream “treason.” Let's unpack the desperate deflections, the baseless accusations, and the terrifying implications of a former president weaponizing the word "treason" like it’s just another Truth Social buzzword.
