Summary

Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back journalist and author Vicky Ward to break down the drama surrounding the Epstein transparency bill and how Mike Johnson and MAGA got outmaneuvered in broad daylight. With an investigative journalist’s perspective, we dig into why Republicans suddenly backed full release of the files, plus Vicky’s insight into what Epstein believed he had on Donald Trump. We also get into Trump’s bizarre outbursts at reporters and what his deferential treatment of Mohammed bin Salman reveals about his ambitions in the Middle East.
