Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI abruptly walked back the notion that there's an Epstein client list of elites who participated in the wealthy New York financier's trafficking of underage girls.

Trump, who does not stand accused of wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, has tried to steer the conversation away from the issue.

Some conservative Republicans in Congress are breaking with the President Donald Trump's handling of the case involving the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the latest development in a rare MAGA revolt against the administration.

President Trump is backing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, saying she “should release” whatever evidence she believes is credible. NBC News Senior Political Reporter Jonathan Allen joins Chris Jansing to report on the latest details.

MAGA’s disgruntlement with President Donald Trump over his team’s dismissal of the Jeffrey Epstein affair is turning into a political crisis, and a top pollster is comparing the fallout to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that hobbled former President Joe Biden.

Republican strategist David Urban talks with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about President Trump’s attempts to tamp down the controversy over his Justice Department’s handling of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein.

The survey comes after President Donald Trump’s administration concluded an investigation into Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 in what was ruled a suicide after he was charged with sex trafficking minors.

Trump's comments from a largely overlooked exchange last summer about public access to the so-called Epstein files are suddenly relevant anew.

Donald Trump very rarely loses control of his own story. But the Jeffrey Epstein saga is beyond his powers to quell.

The fallout of the Epstein case is testing the power the president holds over his most loyal followers, many of whom have broken into open revolt against him.

Here is a timeline of Epstein and Trump’s relationship. Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s. “Terrific guy,” Trump said in the 2002 interview.

John Heilemann, Tuesday morning on MSNBC, suggested that President Trump mustr have discovered "something" in the Epstein documents that changed his mind on releasing them. JOHN HEILEMANN: There’s so much in this story.
