She Exposed Epstein, and Shares MAGA’s Anger

Podcast cover

Interesting Times with Ross Douthat

The podcast explores the story of Jeffrey Epstein, focusing on how he was able to get away with his crimes for so long. Julie K. Brown, who brought Epstein’s story into the public eye with her reporting for the Miami Herald, discusses Epstein's plea deal, his connections, and the official narrative surrounding his crimes. She details how Epstein manipulated the legal system, cultivated relationships with powerful figures, and exploited the weaknesses of those around him. The conversation also covers the unanswered questions, including whether Epstein intended to blackmail people and his alleged ties to intelligence agencies. Brown argues that the government should treat the case as a serious crime and investigate further, rather than shutting it down.
