  • Trump's Twisted Move to Distract from Epstein

    Trump's Twisted Move to Distract from Epstein
    Aug 13 2025

    Welcome to the premiere of 'Inside Trump’s Head', a new twice-weekly deep dive from The Daily Beast into the most unpredictable, unsettling, and endlessly fascinating mind in modern politics. Host Joanna Coles teams up with best-selling Trump biographer Michael Wolff to explore what’s really driving Donald Trump.

    In this inaugural episode, Wolff shares exclusive White House conversations suggesting Trump may be ready to give up large parts of Ukraine in a high-stakes meeting with Vladimir Putin — all to distract from the ceaseless Jeffrey Epstein scandal threatening his grip on the MAGA base. From the hidden hand of Jared Kushner to Steve Bannon’s private doubts, from Putin’s possible kompromat to the Epstein “drumbeat” that won’t fade, Coles and Wolff go spelunking into the dark, dank cavern where all of Trump’s decisions begin.

    Bestselling royal biographer Andrew Lownie joins Joanna Coles for a blistering deep-dive into Prince Andrew’s life, scandals, and the shadowy alliances that brought him down. From explosive allegations of financial corruption at the heart of the monarchy, to his entanglements with Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Donald Trump, Lownie exposes a portrait of greed, privilege, and impunity. With insider accounts, never-before-revealed details, and jaw-dropping stories—from secret business deals to sordid weekends in Thailand—this episode unpacks how the Queen’s favorite son became the royal family’s greatest liability.

    Michael Wolff, the best-selling author who was tapped by Jeffrey Epstein to write his biography spills the secrets of the pedophile—and of Donald Trump. Wolff reveals the twisted reality of life inside Epstein's New York mansion, where he had a chess set made with himself as king, then spills who the other pieces were carved to represent—as well as his bizarre encounter with Epstein's last girlfriend. He and Joanna Coles also analyze exactly what Trump means by building a new ballroom at the White House and what it says about the man in the Oval Office.
