Some leading voices in President Trump’s MAGA base who criticized his handling of the Epstein files are now rallying to his defense after a Wall Street Journal story.

"Washington Week" host Jeffrey Goldberg and his panel discuss the Trump administration's approach to the Jeffrey Epstein case. JEFFREY GOLDBERG, THE ATLANTIC, 'WASHINGTON WEEK' HOST: I want, I want to move to the -- I will be revisiting this again,

This interview was recorded on Thursday, July 17, 2025. The White House went toe to toe with reporters this week. The administration was grilled over its refusal to release the so called, “Epstein Files.

A viral online rebellion is shaking the foundation of Trump’s MAGA movement, as furious supporters demand he release the Epstein Files, and accuse him of protecting the very elite he once vowed to expose.

President Donald Trump’s base vigorously defended him in the wake of a Thursday Wall Street Journal report that he wrote a sexually suggestive letter to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday, with some claiming the alleged letter doesn’t sound like the president.

Trump has threatened to sue The Wall Street Journal after it published a report on Thursday describing a sexually suggestive letter bearing his name and a typewritten message in an outline of a naked woman. The newspaper said the letter was included in a 2003 album for the disgraced financier’s 50th birthday.

Trump's entire political career has been based on conspiracies and lies. His base has gobbled it all up. Hook, line and sinker ... until now.

Trump said the release of grand jury testimony linked to Jeffrey Epstein’s indictment will not be “good enough” for those seeking more information on Epstein and his associates.
