Maggie confronts the enduring scandal of Jeffrey Epstein, exposing the systemic failures that allow sexual violence to persist and the political hypocrisy surrounding the case. Joined by Professor Mariel Barnes, the conversation explores the deep-rooted culture of misogyny, economic vulnerability of victims, and chronic underfunding of law enforcement and support systems. Barnes provides insight into how power and privilege shield perpetrators while silencing survivors. Maggie also scrutinizes Donald Trump’s shifting narratives and his resistance to releasing the Epstein files, underscoring growing public frustration.
