Born of Irish and Czech descent, I grew up with a strong sense of tradition, faith, and the value of hard work. I raised my son, Jim Acosta formerly a journalist with CNN largely on my own after divorcing in the early 1970s.

My interview with reporter @jkbjournalist.bsky.social about the Epstein case feels more like a true crime podcast than anything I’ve ever done before. Lots of really interesting insights into the case and Epstein’s relationship with Trump. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
