Tara Palmeri sits down with Republican Congresswoman Kat Cammack of Florida for a wide-ranging and unusually candid conversation. A former Capitol Hill chief of staff before she was elected, Cammack draws on both sides of the power dynamic to describe a culture she calls "college 2.0" — late nights, alcohol, lobbyists, and a steep imbalance that she argues lets harassment flourish among members an...

Tara Palmeri does something cable news won't: she fact-checks JD Vance's appearance on "The View" line by line, as the vice president recasts himself as the lone transparency champion of the Epstein scandal. Tara walks through the claims one by one — that Trump "reported Epstein to the police" (he didn't; he made a July 2006 call only after the investigation was underway), that Trump "threw Epstei...

Tara Palmeri sits down with producer Chris Fenton — dubbed "Hollywood's MAGA whisperer" — to unpack how an entire industry is learning to speak Donald Trump's language. With LA hemorrhaging jobs (50,000 lost in recent years) and production fleeing to the UK, Canada, and 80-plus countries offering national tax incentives, Hollywood is pushing for a federal film incentive to bring shoots back to Ame...

Tara Palmeri is joined by attorney Michael Popok of Legal AF to break down the explosive new reporting from Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan — an excerpt from their book "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" that pulls back the curtain on the White House's "summer of Epstein."

Tara Palmeri joins Ari Melber on MSNBC to break down the House Oversight Committee's interview with Lesley Groff — Jeffrey Epstein's longtime assistant of 18 years, who booked girls, arranged their hotels, paid them over $1,000 for so-called "massages," and told them the "protocol" of being around Epstein. Now Groff claims she had no idea what was going on. Tara isn't buying it. Named as one of fo...

Democrats say corruption will be a central issue in the midterms. Congressman Jason Crow joins me to discuss his new End Corruption Caucus and the party’s plan to target Trump’s ethics controversies.

Tara Palmeri sits down with Michael LaRosa, former spokesperson for First Lady Jill Biden and Biden campaign insider, for a no-holds-barred conversation about the Jill Biden memoir disaster, the Democratic Party's credibility crisis, and why no one around the Bidens will tell them the truth.

Tara Palmeri gets the first account of what happened behind closed doors during Pam Bondi's transcribed interview before the House Oversight Committee from Congressman James Walkinshaw (D-VA), who was in the room.

Tara Palmeri investigates how Grindr — the gay hookup app born in West Hollywood — has quietly become an unexpected political force in Trump's Washington. During White House Correspondents' Dinner weekend, the hottest invite in town wasn't hosted by a media company — it was hosted by Grindr. And yet almost no elected Republican politicians were willing to show their face, even as the app experienc...

Tara Palmeri sits down with royal biographer Andrew Lownie to expose what may be the most dangerous dimension of the Epstein scandal: the intelligence operation behind it. Lownie, author of "The Rise and Fall of the House of York," reveals an FBI document describing how Russian and Chinese intelligence services targeted Prince Andrew through women, money, and contacts — and how Andrew was a willin...

After my exclusive reporting revealed that former Epstein lieutenant Sarah Kellen identified several powerful men to congressional investigators, I’m digging into the longstanding ties these figures had to Jeffrey Epstein — and the elite political, financial, and social networks surrounding him that reached all the way to the top, including Clinton. Join me for new reporting and a deeper look at t...

Tara Palmeri sits down with reporter Ellie Leonard to expose how journalist Michael Wolff spent two decades as Jeffrey Epstein's fixer — and is now trying to cash in on the 100 hours of tapes he recorded with him. Ellie went through 1,830 emails between Wolff and Epstein and found a paper trail that goes far beyond journalism: Wolff helped Epstein build a PR team (the same one that worked with Har...

Tara Palmeri sits down with Isaac Saul from Tangle, who spent 15 months reporting on how President Trump has profited from the presidency — a 6,000-word investigation that puts it all in one place for the first time.
