Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, joins Maddie Hale to explain why he believes the Epstein files is causing Republicans and Democrats to point fingers at each other as a “distraction” when the bigger picture involves alleged ties between the late paedophile & Israel, and whether the CIA orchestrated a coverup.
