Show Notes
December, 28 2025, 7AM; Instead of releasing all of the files 9 days ago as required by law, flooding the zone with documents and possibly helping the White House move past this controversy, the DOJ has prolonged the damage, giving journalists time to pick through each partial release before the next one comes. Amid the files’ continued release President Trump has lashed out in social media about their release, even going as far as to question when will the DOJ stop releasing files. Paul Butler and Joyce Vance join the Weekend to discuss the president’s frustration with the DOJ and its continued Epstein file releases.
