I have two great guests joining me here to kick off the show. Andrew Weissman is the former general counsel at the FBI. Julie K.Brown is an investigative reporter for the Miami Herald, responsible for breaking the Epstein story wide open all the way back in 2018. There are no two people I'd rather be talking to at the start of the show tonight. I'm so grateful to to both of you.I Andrew, let me just start with you. I I know you've been pouring through these documents, the the ones that have been released, t ...

Does this type of redaction, this is over 90 pages, every page redacted, does this, in your view, uh, satisfy the law's requirements or violate them. >> It essentially violates the the the order of the court and the spirit of the legislation that was was sponsored by uh, Roana and Tom Massie, as well as the subpoena that was uh, put together by Robert Garcia and Summer Lee, who were the ranking members on on the committee and and and the uh, subcommittee that that got this done. So, uh, we clearly said in t ...

In their extensive redactions to portions of the Epstein files released today, which themselves are partial, and their choice of which material to release, the DOJ appears to be doing what it has been doing all year, protecting Donald Trump while going after his political enemies and also trampling the law. Eric Holder served as attorney general of the United States under President Obama. And he joins me now.Um, Mr. . Holder, you you had that position uh at the Department of Justice, of course, as attorney ...

has been a very emotional day uh for me and for my family. I think there was a lot of trepidation coming into today. Um, you know, concern about what would actually come out and what would, you know, what would continue to be um, held back. But one, there was a big victory today for us in that we finally saw my sister's 1996 FBI report. Maria uh, Farmer, you know, she has been so so um, come forward so often and said, "Why was nothing done. I reported this in 1996 and just to see that um in writing it it wa ...

Good evening from New York. I'm Chris Hayes. Well, today was the day, as you may know, December 19th, that of course the deadline mandated by law for Donald Trump's Department of Justice to release the Epstein files. All of them, basically unredacted. And we got a release with an enormous asterisk, which is that they are very clearly violating that law, which is not surprising. It is a law that they fought at every single opportunity from shutting the entire House of Representatives down for months to not s ...

The Trump DOJ is releasing some Epstein files. That's the big headline as they hit this deadline today. And we're going to show you some of the headlines here.New photos and court records. Is how the Times reports it given the clash over not fully complying. Democrats already threatening to take them to court because the DOJ missed the deadline that clearly states all documents.Interestingly, Fox News tonight has a headline up that says Epstein files explode open as DOJ details discovery of powerful figures ...

Uh, let me just start by saying that the Trump administration and the DOJ right now are defying Congress and breaking the law. Clearly, they had till today, they have till midnight still to do the right thing and release all the files. They have not done that. And they've presented them in a way, by the way, where they're not very searchable to the American public. There's huge redactions which we are not explained. And we know that many of the documents, and we think it could be as close to half of the doc ...

Andrew, we've been talking um theoretically you've been reading. Uh anything strike you in terms of what the Department of Justice has made public. >> Um I want to turn to something that you said at the outset, which is that we're going to look for what's in there, but we're going to also look for what's not in there.And I just want to talk for a moment what Todd Blanch said today because it is outrageous. It is to me this is just a huge joke that is basically treating the MAGA base as a bunch of fools. Um ...

Donald Trump loves putting his name on things. Hotels, casinos, stakes, and now memorials for other presidents. This morning, the Kennedy senator began updating the signage on the building's exterior to the Donald J.Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts. Happened less than 24 hours after a Trump aligned board voted to rename the institution.That is not all, folks. Last week, the Interior Department unveiled a national parks pass with Trump's face on it. There it is.And the Tr ...
