Six years ago, notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his New York City prison cell. And yet, Epstein’s influence - and the mystery surrounding his alleged “client list”— is more alive than ever and is driving a wedge through Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. During his election campaign last year, Trump promised to release Epstein-related files if elected, but is now accused by his own supporters of backpedalling on his promise to uncover the truth. With pressure mounting, will his refusal to deliver on the Epstein files fracture the movement he built? And can he pivot attention, as he often doe, back to safer ground, like tariffs and trade wars? Host: Tessa Fleming, Guests: Lorcan Nyhan and Nikki McCann Ramirez
