Despite days of claiming the controversy surrounding Jeffrey Epstein was a hoax, President Trump is taking the extraordinary step of calling for the release of grand jury testimony related to the deceased convicted sex offender’s case.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday urged President Donald Trump to release more Epstein files, lest his base turn against him. The Georgia lawmaker wrote on X that Trump, having entertained a number of conspiracy theories (to which she, of course, also subscribes), must now either deliver on them or face his supporters’ wrath.

Trump faces MAGA backlash over Epstein as calls for transparency grow and loyalists demand the files be released.

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.

MAGA supporters criticize Trump's defense of AG Pam Bondi after DOJ revealed there is no Epstein client list, despite previous promises to expose additional details on scandal.

His towering buildings and cash attracted many figures within the city. Jeffrey Epstein eventually found his way to Trump too.

The president denied a report that he once sent Epstein a racy birthday letter, and directed his attorney general to release additional documents related to the convicted sex offender.

New York Times columnist David Brooks and Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart join John Yang to discuss the week in politics, including the MAGA debate over releasing the Epstein files intensifies and congressional Republicans deliver Trump a win by clawing back $9 billion in foreign aid and public media funding.
