Congressman Ro Khanna joins us live after introducing a bill to force the release of the Epstein files, and every single Republican voted against it. Yes, the same Republicans who claim to fight for “truth” and “transparency.” The same MAGA movement that once demanded these files be made public. So what happened? What are they hiding? What are they so afraid of? And how does a promise to "release the files" turn into "there are no files"...and then "there are files, but they were written by the democrats"?!? We'll dig into it all with Rep. Khanna, the politics, the hypocrisy, and why accountability seems to vanish when it gets too close to home. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

First, the Trump administration promised transparency. Then Pam Bondi swore the Epstein files were right there, sitting on her desk. But now? Poof. The files don’t exist. And just when Congress had a chance to vote on releasing them, nearly every Republican on the House Rules Committee said nah. What are they so desperate to hide? Why the sudden memory loss? And how is it that one of Trump’s core campaign promises has just… vanished? Join us live as we break down the hypocrisy, the political cowardice, and what this scandal says about power, protection, and the people who never seem to face accountability.

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.
