The Don Lemon Show

This morning, we’re diving into explosive new reporting from NPR alleging that the U.S. Department of Justice withheld and removed certain Epstein-related documents from public databases, including files that reference allegations involving Donald Trump. The report claims materials tied to accusations against Jeffrey Epstein that also mention Trump were taken down or never fully released.
As other countries pursue investigations and consequences for officials connected to Epstein, the contrast here is striking. Will anyone in MAGA world ever face accountability? Will victims ever see justice?
Then we pivot to tonight’s State of the Union. What exactly is the state of the union? We’ll break down the stakes before the speech even begins. 🍋

Tonight, we’re diving into the continued global fallout from the Epstein files. Peter Mandelson, a former U.K. ambassador to the United States, has reportedly been arrested by British authorities over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Mandelson is the latest powerful figure to face scrutiny as investigations move forward overseas.
So the question is obvious: who’s next? As international authorities take action, will anyone connected within MAGA world ever face real accountability? Or will the Epstein scandal continue to produce consequences everywhere but here?
We break down what this means, what could happen next, and why justice still feels uneven. 🍋

This morning, we’re talking about a White House that looks desperate. As Donald Trump’s approval ratings slide, the administration seems to think the solution is… sports cosplay?
From Kash Patel partying with athletes like he just got drafted, to Trump posting an AI-generated video of himself scoring a hockey goal, the cringe factor is off the charts. Is this just a distraction from sinking numbers and mounting criticism?
We’ll break down the polling, the optics, and why trying to co-opt sports culture might say more about panic than popularity. 🍋

Tonight, we’re breaking down a major decision from the Supreme Court of the United States blocking Donald Trump’s tariffs and declaring them illegal. This comes after Trump repeatedly insisted he had the authority to impose them on his own. The Court said otherwise.
Trump is furious, but this ruling raises a bigger question about limits on executive power and whether the constitutional guardrails are still holding.
Is this a turning point? A rare institutional check in a turbulent political era? Tonight we break down what the decision means for democracy, the economy, and what could come next. 🍋
