About this episode
Who is the DOJ frantically protecting with those black-bar redactions right now? On this urgent episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, investigative journalist Tara Palmeri joins CNN’s Erin Burnett hours after the historic 427-1 House vote to demand full Epstein file transparency, warning that the celebration could be short-lived as the DOJ—already caught redacting Trump’s name from FOIA releases since summer—prepares to slow-walk or black-bar the 300+GB trove. Tara exposes how hundreds of officials have spent months scrubbing documents, details the hidden videos and photos seized from Epstein’s properties that survivors say recorded everything, and reveals why Epstein may have been protected as a valuable FBI informant on cases like the Bear Stearns and Financial Towers scandals—comparing him to a “Whitey Bulger-type” asset whose usefulness could still shield billionaires, royals, and power brokers from exposure. Which name still hiding behind those black redactions would finally force real accountability?
