"Tarana Burke tells Marc Lamont Hill on Epstein, Trump and how widespread sexual violence is in the United States. In 2017, a reckoning over sexual violence called #MeToo swept the globe. Eight years later, has the movement done enough for survivors? And what will it take for some of the world's most powerful men accused of sexual misconduct to face consequences?"
"The Department of Justice has released files related to the late convicted sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein after mounting pressure led President Donald Trump to sign the Epstein Files Transparency Act last month. Trump, who himself has been accused dozens of times of sexual assault and misconduct, has already appeared in photos, emails and other documents in connection with Epstein, causing a rift in his base."
