U.S. Justice after Epstein: How many layers into power, accountability, and elite networks?
Thursday, 12 February, 2026

Why does the Epstein case continue to captivate the world? Does it reveal more than individual wrongdoing, but also expose deeper questions about power and accountability? In this episode of The Hub, Wang Guan speaks with Rina Shah, geopolitical analyst and commentator; Brandon Andrews, entrepreneur and former Hill staffer; and Josef Mahoney, professor of politics at East China Normal University, to examine the implications of the Epstein files. They explore how global elite networks operate, the obstacles facing the justice system, and how political pressure and withheld information erode public trust in some Western societies.
