President Donald Trump escalated his attacks against members of his MAGA base who are imploring his administration to be more transparent regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump described Republicans criticizing him and Attorney General Pam Bondi for overpromising and underdelivering on the federal government’s files on the Epstein investigations as “stupid.

MAGA-friendly TV channel Newsmax is throwing shade at Fox News for tiptoeing around the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Anchor Rob Schmitt suggested that Fox News hosts are “terrified” to cover MAGA’s uproar over the Trump administration’s decision not to release any more information on the late convicted sex offender.

MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton is joined by Fordham University’s Christina Greer and The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson to break down the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files and how it’s roiling the Trump administration and MAGA world.

President Donald Trump and his administration are doing everything they can to make MAGA forget about Jeffrey Epstein. They are failing.

The president disavowed longtime backers who are furious over the administration's conclusion that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide in jail and did not possess a secret list of clients.

Trump lashed out at his MAGA base on Wednesday over their meltdown to the Justice Department’s memo that concluded that Epstein had no “client list” of high-profile public figures involved in the scandal. He said in his Truth Social post that he no longer wanted the support of those who cared about the case.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk issued a new message to Trump about Epstein, days after he said he was "done" talking about it.

Conservative commentator Candace Owens decried the scandal as a “terminal cancer to the MAGA movement.” Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued: “The fact that the U.S. government, the one that I voted for, refused to take my question seriously and instead said, ‘Case closed, shut up conspiracy theorist,’ was too much for me.”
