Lemon LIVE at 5 | Will Trump Pardon Ghislaine Maxwell?! - July 25th, 2025
You truly can’t make this up. In the latest twist of the Trump-Epstein scandal, Trump’s Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, personally met with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. And now, because we’re apparently living in a dystopian satire, there are whispers of a possible pardon. Yes, really.
Is this where we are now? Is MAGA so far gone that even cozying up to convicted traffickers is just another day in Washington DC? Tonight, we’re breaking down how we got here, what this says about the state of the Trump administration, and whether this scandal might finally push the public to say "enough."
Because if this isn’t a red line… what is?

What a week! This morning, we’re diving into the bombshell that blew the lid off everything: Trump is in the Epstein files.

We’ll also break down Trump’s latest feud with Fed Chair Jerome Powell, because why not spiral into economic chaos too? And Candace Owens may have finally met her match. After spreading wild lies about Brigitte Macron, she’s now facing a defamation lawsuit.
