About this episode

Dr. Harriet Fraad explores Jeffrey Epstein's criminal activities and their connections to political figures.

Jeffrey Epstein, who was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors in New York in 2019, was also accused of sexually assaulting underage girls for nearly two decades. Because he died in jail while awaiting trial, we may never know the extent of his sex trafficking ring or exactly who else may have participated in those heinous acts. Instead, we are left wondering whether or not he also provided blackmail opportunities for the U.S. and Israeli governments, as it appears he likely did precisely that. It also seems as if Donald Trump was an enthusiastic and willful participant in Epstein's darkest schemes. In this week's episode of Capitalism Hits Home, Dr. Fraad explores and explains Epstein's web of crime and corruption, and reveals how Trump swims in the swamp he condemns.
