I Know DOJ Is Covering for Trump on Epstein: Rep | The Daily Beast Podcast

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) speaks with Sarah Ewall-Wice about what he calls the alarming transformation of Donald Trump’s Justice Department into a tool for loyalty, intimidation, and political retribution, while sounding the alarm over the administration’s handling of the Epstein files and the growing secrecy surrounding millions of unreleased documents. Goldman argues that Trump’s inner circle is covering up damaging information, warns that the president’s behavior and mental acuity are becoming increasingly erratic behind the scenes, and predicts explosive investigations if Democrats retake the House. The conversation moves from threats against the press and alleged weaponization of federal power to the Iran war fight in Congress, rising inflation, redistricting battles, and why Goldman believes the next election could reshape the balance of power in Washington.

Dan — seemingly unenthusiastic interview. It’s not what Dems are looking for from their Congressional folks. Do better!

it's not apathy. it's a loss of trust in ALL politicians no matter what party. I DO pray that democrats win control and hold all those in this administration responsible for the damage they've done to this country both nationally and internationally. this will take generations to repair.

Destruction of evidence should have the same penalty as the crime they are covering up.

Democrats should start talking about how STUPID Republicans are and MAGA is. He must be surprised at how much he's able to get away with. Republican reps are either in on the grift or stupid. He is treating them like fools and must be so contemptuous of everyone around him and his loyal Magas. .

Does DJT have legitimate WH lawyers this term? If he does, I can’t believe they’re advising him that he can sue his own IRS for 10 billion $$ & then arrange for his own DOJ to “settle” or allowing him to use the FBI & DOJ to “ payback” his political enemies. Why aren’t these corrupt actions being stopped?

Every vote can be counted because we have computers. No more gerrymandering.

It is clear to viewers that Trump has serious problems with his speech. He also does not seem to be taking his job seriously. Weird… like he doesn’t want to be there. Perhaps the Rep party talked him into running. He needs to resign. His health is poor.

Trump was a long time buddy of Epstein and everybody except Congress seems to know this. Epstein introduced model Melania to Trump. Perhaps Bondi is trying to cover for Trump, in all things brought up in hearings. Bondi is disorganized and does have a problem focusing. She should resign.

Oh, he was involved. You tend to be when you protect ordinary criminals, so that applies in this case too. If not even more involved.

The DOJ can just cover it up for so long and all will be exposed!

Trump, Elon and Charlie Kirk cheated to help Trump win 2024. They were all going to prison (for good reasons) if he didn't get back in.

We are depending on Democrats to insure fair elections!then this entire administration needs to face criminal prosecution.They are not above punishment! The 😂 Supreme Court needs to be given term limits and the electoral college needs to go

He did not convince half the country of anything. Half the country did not even vote. He only won by less than 2% of the vote.

Closer to home, please investigate if Michael Wolff is covering for Epstein. The 1,800 emails between him and Epstein are shocking. They can be read on Ellie Leonard’s Substack entitled The Panicked Writer.

Kamal Harris would have been a great president. Certainly better than this con artist and thief that is in office now. We are going to be bankrupt. Vanity projects, golfing constantly, corruption, etc.
