Jeffrey Epstein, The F.B.I. Files
Digest more
As MAGA world continues to obsess over the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Donald Trump, who appears to want no part, directed his ire at an unexpected target: his own base.
For years, President Donald Trump and his Republican allies benefited from conspiracy theories that fueled the conservative MAGA movement and targeted his political enemies.
In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida on two state felony charges, paid restitution to three dozen victims, and registered as a sex offender. A decade later, Epstein pleaded not guilty in New York to multiple charges, including sex trafficking.
The FBI and DOJ said they do not plan to make future public disclosures related to their review of Epstein's case, stoking outrage among Trump's most vocal supporters.
