Did Trump Commit WIRE FRAUD using America’s Birthday?
Congress created America 250 to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday as a bipartisan milestone. But behind the scenes, a shadow operation called Freedom 250 was launched—diverting corporate donors, siphoning tens of millions in federal funds, and transforming a national celebration into a private political machine. In this investigation, Tara Palmeri uncovers the dark-money apparatus behind Freedom 250, how major corporate contractors got caught in a "bait and switch," and the recurring playbook being used across national institutions.

With the 2026 midterms approaching, Jeffrey Epstein is back at the centre of American politics. Democrats are spending millions on Epstein-related campaign ads, Republicans are facing questions about the release of the files, and voters are increasingly concerned about government corruption. Tara Palmeri sits down with former Trump White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci to discuss the political landscape ahead of the midterms, the growing influence of wealthy insiders, and the corruption concerns dominating Washington. From the $36 million being spent on Epstein-related advertising to the Trump administration's handling of the files, Tara examines how the scandal has become a major election issue. She also looks at the involvement of Epstein survivors in political campaigns, the mysterious donors funding a travelling Epstein files exhibit, and why some survivors are uncomfortable with their experiences becoming political ammunition. As Democrats push for further investigations into Trump's ties to Epstein, Tara asks whether either party is truly prepared to confront the powerful figures connected to the scandal.
