With the 2026 midterms approaching, Jeffrey Epstein is back at the centre of American politics. Democrats are spending millions on Epstein-related campaign ads, Republicans are facing questions about the release of the files, and voters are increasingly concerned about government corruption.
Tara Palmeri sits down with former Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci to discuss the political landscape ahead of the midterms, the growing influence of wealthy insiders, and the corruption concerns dominating Washington.
From the $36 million being spent on Epstein-related advertising to the Trump administration's handling of the files, Tara examines how the scandal has become a major election issue. She also looks at the involvement of Epstein survivors in political campaigns, the mysterious donors funding a travelling Epstein files exhibit, and why some survivors are uncomfortable with their experiences becoming political ammunition.
As Democrats push for further investigations into Trump's ties to Epstein, Tara asks whether either party is truly prepared to confront the powerful figures connected to the scandal.

The conversation addresses Trump's reported desires to deploy the National Guard and armed personnel to polling places, evaluating whether state-level election officials can serve as an effective safeguard against federal overreach. Whipple shares insights from his ten months speaking with White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, exploring whether she can serve as the ultimate guardrail or if her tight bond with Trump renders her ineffective in stopping retribution and pardons for insurrectionists.
