The persisting furor over files related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein has forced President Donald Trump into an unfamiliar role: trying to shut a conspiracy theory down.
The debate over a federal investigation into the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein continues to stir. But why? A journalist and conspiracy theory expert joined Scripps News to explain.
In his July 14 article “On Jeffrey Epstein, Trump rolls out a new conspiracy theory about the conspiracy theory,” MSNBC’s Steve Benen’s points out three inconsistent theories espoused by the Trump administration.
One of the narratives at the heart of President Trump's political movement is this: American society is dominated by a shadowy group of elites, and those elites are deeply corrupt. Nothing represented that theory more than the case of Jeffrey Epstein.
