This hour unpacks the explosive release of transcripts from Todd Blanche’s interview with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. Maggie Daun and Jim Santelle scrutinize Blanche’s ineffective questioning—raising the question of whether it reflected incompetence or a deliberate effort to shield powerful figures, including Donald Trump. Maxwell’s evasive responses offer little substance while conveniently absolving both Trump and Bill Clinton from Jeffrey Epstein’s scandalous orbit. Maggie and Jim also explore the implications of this interview as a potentially calculated move rather than a genuine search for truth. They also cover breaking economic developments and the consumer impact of rising tariffs.
