Our top story: the so-called "Epstein files" are reportedly only 2% released, raising serious questions about transparency, missing evidence, and whether the public is being deliberately misled. If the full scope of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has barely seen daylight, what exactly is being protected — and who benefits from the delay?
Then, Olympic controversy explodes. The fallout continues after a Ukrainian athlete speaks out following a controversial disqualification, while separate allegations emerge involving Canadian athletes accused of cheating. We break down how the International Olympic Committee is responding — and whether the Games are losing credibility in real time.
Back home, scrutiny intensifies around U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as new reporting raises questions about enforcement practices and internal oversight. Plus, we examine allegations swirling around Kristi Noem and claims of potential financial misconduct — what's substantiated, what's speculation, and what could come next.
Gaslighting, global scandals, and government accountability — it's all ahead on this morning's episode.
