Tina Brown: The Epstein Files and breaking the MAGA spell Christiane Amanpour Presents

The legendary Tina Brown - ex-Editor of Vanity Fair and now the writer of the Substack "Fresh Hell" - joins Christiane for a look back on a year like no other.

They unpick Trump's Chief of Staff describing the President as having an "alcoholic's personality" in a recent interview, discuss whether the Epstein Files have been a damp squib, and explain why more billionaires buying media companies is a dangerous trend for democracy.

Tina also tells the story of the day Jeffrey Epstein forced his way into her office, predicts what 2026 might hold for the Royal Family, and joins Christiane in giving a final Recommendation of 2025!
