Last week, Trump posted on social media that the controversy around possible federal files on sex offender Epstein was a hoax perpetrated by Democrats that "some stupid Republicans" believed. He later asked the justice department to seek court approval to release testimony taken during grand jury proceedings against Epstein.

The anchor explained exactly why and how the president is attempting to distract his way out of the controversy.

President Donald Trump outraged many of his supporters after the Justice Department published an unsigned memo saying it would not release any more documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche says he's reached out to the counsel of Epstein associate and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Harry Enten said the figures "surprised" him as the president navigates GOP criticism on his administration's handling of the Epstein files.

The Jeffrey Epstein controversy showed no signs of quieting as a GOP senator joined calls for all information to be released by the Trump administration, as Democrats protested the GOP’s advancing of two controversial nominees with a dramatic walkout.

In a new Economist/YouGov poll, Donald Trump’s disapproval has hit a record high of 55%. As former GOP communications director and co-founder & CEO of The Seneca Project warns, just a few-point slip among Republican approval for Trump could be enough to lose key swing seats in the House of Representatives.
