President Trump would not recommend appointing a special prosecutor to look into the case of disgraced financier and sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, the White House said Thursday, rebuffing calls

Ghislaine Maxwell's family have questioned why the Trump administration have decided not to release the Epstein files to the public, despite claiming they would do so

When Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then-President Donald Trump speculated that authorities might be wrong in ruling it a suicide.

The sustained backlash has exposed the hazards of the attorney general’s focus on courting President Trump, with the assumption that he maintains the total backing of his base.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the escalating MAGA meltdown and internal crisis sparked by President Trump’s DOJ and its handling of the Epstein files, as Trump continues to attempt to squash the story.

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

Democrats have already forced Republicans to take tough Epstein-related procedural votes that have stoked a barrage of constituent calls into GOP offices, but they have not yet been able to force a clear up-or-down vote on releasing the so-called Epstein files.

Trump has made a volatile enemy out of Governor Gavin Newsom. California sued the federal government last month after Trump deployed thousands of National Guard members to manhandle Los Angeles’s anti-ICE protests. An appeals court later blocked a court decision that would have handed the authority of the National Guard back to Newsom.

Maurene Comey, a Manhattan federal prosecutor who worked on the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was said to have been fired by the Trump administration on Wednesday. The reason for her firing was not immediately clear.

The big question on the tips of many political watchers’ tongues right now is whether the Trump administration’s botched handling of the Epstein files will do what virtually nothing has yet: turn President Donald Trump’s devoted base against him.
