TV's Biggest Stars Smash Networks' Wall of Silence on Epstein-Trump Tapes [View all]

Two of television’s biggest names broke through days of silence from their networks about the bombshell tapes revealed by the Daily Beast in which Jeffrey Epstein speaks about his relationship with Donald Trump.

Rachel Maddow on MSNBC and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC both spoke of their shock at the tapes, with the late-night host complaining that they had not been widely covered by other outlets.

A tiny snippet of the tapes were first disclosed last Thursday by the author Michael Wolff, and on Saturday the Daily Beast published recordings in which Epstein made extraordinary claims about his friend of a decade.

The convicted pedophile suggested intimate knowledge of the West Wing. He alleged that Trump liked to cuckold his best friends, that Trump first made love with Melania Trump on Epstein’s “Lolita Express plane,” called Trump a serial cheat who boasted about “f---ing Black girls,” and claimed without evidence that Trump had had an affair while in the White House. The tapes were made two years before Epstein’s death in a federal jail cell, when he spoke to Wolff as a source for his bombshell international bestseller, Fire and Fury. Wolff said Epstein showed him a cache of pictures of Trump with topless young women in his lap.

Network execs are just as cowardly as other major news outlets. They fear TFA/MAGA retribution.
