Show Notes
Kevin Reddington is speaking out after the Lindsay Clancy mistrial — and Billy has plenty to say about his first major post-trial interview. Billy breaks down Reddington’s appearance with George Stephanopoulos, including his relationship with Lindsay Clancy, whether Plymouth County District Attorney Tim Cruz will pursue another first-degree murder trial, and Reddington’s surprising suggestion that President Donald Trump consider a pardon. Billy also looks ahead to the September 29 court date and what could happen next in the case. Then, Billy responds to a retraction demand he received from attorneys representing Patrick Clancy over comments made on Hot Mics. Billy addresses what he said, what he meant, the difference between his commentary and allegations circulating elsewhere online, and why he believes some of the conspiracy theories surrounding Patrick have gone far beyond the evidence. Plus: the mysterious new A24 documentary about Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes that stunned audiences at Telluride; Ryan Reynolds takes aim at the 1980s and Billy fires back; and another strange development in the legal battle surrounding Amy Griffin and The Tell after Griffin’s attorneys publicly filed an exhibit containing the real name of the teacher identified in her book as “Mr. Mason” — then moved to seal the identifying information. And somehow, before it’s over, Billy also explains why his one experiment with Botox was an absolute disaster. It’s a packed Tuesday edition of Hot Mics with Billy Bush.
