Show Notes
Eight days to go, and Donald Trump looks like a man who knows it's slipping. Overnight he sat down and wrote a Truth Social rant about Bill Maher, a guy he invited into the Oval Office. He spent the weekend at rallies bringing Nicki Minaj out on stage and going after Abdul El-Sayed. And on the same weekend, Barack Obama was in Detroit taking his whole presidency apart, one line at a time. Today on the show: Trump's meltdown, what Obama said in Michigan, and where the Senate race actually stands. Then Nicki Minaj and Trump on one stage. We've got guests on what that moment means, and I've got a few things to say about it.

More from The Don Lemon Show
A new report from House Judiciary Committee Democrats is raising serious questions about President Donald Trump's relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Released just eight days before the midterm elections, the report examines accounts involving 11 women, including five who have accused Trump of rape or sexual assault in Epstein's company or presence. The report also highlights discrepancies between Trump's public statements about Epstein and records reviewed by congressional investigators, while accusing the Justice Department of withholding potentially significant evidence. Congressman Jamie Raskin and fellow Democrats are now calling for an independent special counsel investigation. Trump has repeatedly denied involvement in or knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking operation. The allegations against him remain unproven. Don breaks down the report, the accusations, and the questions surrounding what Trump knew about Epstein's activities.
