'All over the files': Maddow names names of people in Trump's orbit in the Epstein files
2/10/202643 min
Donald Trump is, of course, mentioned thousands of times in the Epstein files, as one would expect given his close relationship with notorious pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, but Trump's association with many of the names in those files did not end with Epstein's arrest, or even death. Rachel Maddow highlights some of the mentions that are oddly still enjoying impunity.
The fight against Donald Trumps anti-immigrant agenda is being engaged with ferocity by ordinary citizens from all walks of life, including local who don't want their town to play host to one of Donald Trump's new immigrant prison camps. Rachel Maddow argues that major law firms who were made to look foolish cowering in the face of threats from Trump in 2025, would do well to seek redemption in 2026 by joining the effort to stymie Trump's plans of a nationwide network of immigrant prison camps.
Michael Wriston, co-founder of Project Salt Box, talks with Rachel about using records of government contracts to figure out what the Department of Homeland Security is planning as it looks to build a network of immigrant prisons.
Senator Jon Ossoff joins to talk about Doanld Trump's fixation on losing in Georgia in 2020 and the threat Trump poses to free and fair elections in Georgia as soon as the coming midterms.

Happy to have you here on MS Now. So who is in charge of the US Navy? Um, constitutionally speaking, as you know, we have civilian control of the Navy and of all the other branches of the armed services. Um, so you know it's a civilian who's in charge of the US Navy. Do you know who the civilian is, who Trump put in charge of the Navy? One hint is that, uh, he's a man who never served in the Navy, never served in the military at all. He has no known previous relationship
