Digest more
Donald Trump’s bid to smother the uproar over accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein shows that he’s already achieved one goal his critics most feared from his second presidency.
The government’s handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has roiled the president’s closed supporters for weeks.
Trump on Tuesday said “I don’t follow it too much” when asked by reporters about the backlash to his administration’s handling of the Epstein investigatory documents.
In an statement shared with Newsweek, the White House denied that an encounter described by Farmer took place.
The Justice Department and FBI's investigation finding no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was murdered – or kept a "client list" – caused infighting among parts of President Trump's administration and his supporters.
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.
It was not clear whether the release would shed any new light on King’s life, the Civil Rights Movement or his murder.
