Summary

Damning emails from Jeffrey Epstein to journalist Michael Wolff indicate that Donald Trump knew of his pal’s conduct with underage girls, the president wants to put his face on a new $1 coin, and a former White House usher claims the Lincoln Bedroom is haunted. Author and ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl shares a page of contemporaneous notes taken by Vice President Mike Pence as President Trump pressured him to overturn the 2020 election on January 6, 2021. The notes appear in Karl’s latest book, “Retribution,” which is out now.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
