White House’s New Epstein Scapegoat Is Revealed

About this episode

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles discuss the implications of the Jeffrey Epstein saga on Washington and Donald Trump's administration.

Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles unpack a week in which the Jeffrey Epstein saga once again consumed Washington, examining explosive new reporting about panic, leaks, and finger-pointing inside the White House while asking who is really trying to shape the narrative around Donald Trump. Wolff argues that the most revealing detail is not Epstein himself but the apparent effort to cast JD Vance as an outsider to the president’s inner circle, exposing the rivalries and survival instincts driving the administration. Along the way, they explore the fallout surrounding Ghislaine Maxwell, Bill Gates, and other prominent figures pulled back into the Epstein orbit, while also turning to Trump’s startling claim that he “loves the inflation” and what it reveals about the mindset of a president who refuses to acknowledge political threats.
