Trump Epstein fallout continues as press secretary attempts to explain president’s ‘hoax’ claims: Live updates - Trump attacks own supporters for continuing to press for release of Epstein files causi

For years, President Donald Trump and his Republican allies benefited from conspiracy theories that fueled the conservative MAGA movement and targeted his political enemies.

MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton is joined by Fordham University’s Christina Greer and The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson to break down the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files and how it’s roiling the Trump administration and MAGA world.

President Donald Trump has increasingly been distancing himself from the debacle, calling Epstein's client list a "hoax" created by Democrats.

The president disavowed longtime backers who are furious over the administration's conclusion that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide in jail and did not possess a secret list of clients.

On July 6, a bombshell dropped on the MAGAverse. Axios reported via leaked Department of Justice documents that the government investigation found no mystery in the death by suicide of disgraced society pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and that he kept no client list.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the escalating MAGA meltdown and internal crisis sparked by President Trump’s DOJ and its handling of the Epstein files, as Trump continues to attempt to squash the story.
