MSNBC’s Melissa Murray reports on the Epstein scandal consuming the Trump White House as MAGA leaders, top Democrats and non-partisan journalists demand answers. Former federal prosecutor Berit Berger and Political Strategist Aisha Mills join.

US President Donald Trump called the ongoing controversy a "hoax" on Wednesday while distancing himself from demands for transparency. He also dismissed calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate matters related to the disgraced financier.

Their actions range from pressuring the administration to release more information to spinning additional conspiracy theories about the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.

Coca-Cola refused to confirm the president’s claim that he got it to switch to cane sugar. And now it’s defending high-fructose corn syrup.

The big question on the tips of many political watchers’ tongues right now is whether the Trump administration’s botched handling of the Epstein files will do what virtually nothing has yet: turn President Donald Trump’s devoted base against him.

President Donald Trump disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them Wednesday as "weaklings" who "bought into this bulls---." Trump called the issue 'a big hoax' and 'perpetrated by the Democrats'.

According to a Quinnipiac University poll, the majority of U.S. voters disapprove of Trump's handling of files related to Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in jail in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.

MAGA-friendly TV channel Newsmax is throwing shade at Fox News for tiptoeing around the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Anchor Rob Schmitt suggested that Fox News hosts are “terrified” to cover MAGA’s uproar over the Trump administration’s decision not to release any more information on the late convicted sex offender.
