Scott Lucas: The Epstein Class Proves the Rule of Law Doesn't Even Exist for Victims

Professor Scott Lucas returns to our live guest episode to discuss the societal impact of the Epstein class and the deflections used by their political backers, apologists and the US justice system to evade responsibility.

And since we are focusing on political deflections, Donald Trump inevitably enters the conversation, but the broader issue is systemic. Pam Bondi’s shameful performance at hearings and media appearances often creates a spectacle of outrage rather than prioritising justice for the victims.

It is quite apparent that the survivors of Epstein’s abuse seem pushed to the margins by the Trump Administration.This is a replay and remastered version of the live guest episode we held on February 12th, 2026.
