Episode description
Leigh Ann Caldwell joins Peter to examine the political bind facing the G.O.P., as Speaker Mike Johnson chooses to recess the House rather than confront growing demands from his own party to release new information about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. They discuss the political calculations behind the move, the pressure mounting on Trump, and why Republicans remain deeply conflicted over the handling—or mishandling—of this situation.
