A new Trump-Epstein report from House Judiciary Committee Democrats details allegations of rape or sexual assault against Donald Trump by five women and calls for an independent special counsel. TJ Walker examines the allegations, the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files, and why Attorney General Todd Blanche's past role as Trump's personal lawyer raises questions about independence.
In today's Filtered with TJ Walker, TJ breaks down the October 26 congressional staff report, including the allegations involving Jeffrey Epstein, modeling agents John Casablancas and Paolo Zampolli, and Ghislaine Maxwell's interview with Todd Blanche.
The White House denies the allegations and calls the report politically motivated. TJ also asks why both Republican and Democratic administrations have faced questions about transparency surrounding the Epstein files.
Also in today's episode:
Cassidy Hutchinson and the Justice Department: A federal grand jury rejects prosecutors' attempt to indict the former Trump aide over her January 6 testimony. TJ examines why that rejection is so unusual and what it reveals about the Justice Department's pursuit of Trump's critics.
Kalshi and America's prediction-market boom: Kalshi introduces a $2,500 monthly deposit limit for traders ages 18-20. TJ examines the controversy surrounding prediction markets, gambling regulations, young adults risking their money, and the companies and public figures profiting from the industry.
Three stories about political power, accountability, and money, with TJ's usual humor and a few questions Washington would rather avoid.
