U.S. President Donald Trump is facing backlash over his administration's handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case files, causing a rift among his MAGA supporters. Epstein, a financier with ties to the elite, was charged with sex trafficking minors before his death in 2019. Trump, who has denied wrongdoing, has suggested he would declassify Epstein-related files if elected. Recent Justice Department findings concluded Epstein's death was a suicide, leading to conspiracy theories and further division among Trump's base. Trump has requested the unsealing of grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case to address the concerns of his supporters.
