The rhetoric marks a dramatic escalation for the Republican president, who has broken with some of his most loyal backers in the past, but never with such fervor.

In a mind-bending Truth Social post, Trump cast anyone still interested in the Epstein scandal — which he promoted — out of the MAGA movement.

Right-wing activist Laura Loomer warned that President Donald Trump’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein threatens to “consume his presidency” in an interview on Wednesday, a dramatic rebuke from a presidential confidante that illustrates the growing rupture in the MAGA coalition.

Two House Democrats are calling for the full release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. NBC News’ Julie Tsirkin reports more from Capitol Hill, and Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky joins Chris Jansing to discuss Democrats fanning the flames of MAGA world’s outrage over the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday the US Justice Department should release all "credible" information from its probe into notorious sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein as he sought to douse a firestorm of criticism from his supporters over his handling of the case.

President Donald Trump made the claim that the Justice Department’s files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were “made up” by former President Barack Obama, ex-FBI director James Comey and the Biden administration.

Conservative influencers have demanded to see all the files related to Epstein’s crimes, even as Trump has tried to put the issue to bed.
