The Epstein Files: Case Closed? 

Republican leader Mike Johnson shut down the House for summer recess, avoiding a vote to unseal the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the deceased financier and Trump acquaintance implicated in child sex trafficking. Trump had promised to release the files during his campaign. Today, there is silence. What will be revealed—and what won’t—from Epstein’s list of names? Why does this case continue to haunt the president like a shadow? What are the legal ramifications? How does it affect his MAGA base?

Guests: José López Zamorano, Reporter, Washington, DC; Rafael Olavaría, Politics and Migration Fact-Checker,Factchequeado, Washington, DC.

Famine in Gaza. Dozens of countries have condemned the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians who were seeking humanitarian aid amid reports of widespread famine. Nations are calling for an immediate end to Israel’s war in Gaza, while the UN denounces new plans for mass displacement. Is hunger being used as a weapon of war? How much more can civilians endure under siege? How has the U.S. role evolved since the conflict began? Are we witnessing a full-scale humanitarian catastrophe?

Guest: Témoris Grecko, Mexican journalist and contributor, winner of the 2023 National Journalism Award in the opinion and analysis category for “Ayotzinapa: 9 years, soldiers and spies act on their own,” published in Pie de Página, Mexico City, MX.
