A flurry of MAGA influencers have spoken out against President Donald Trump 's administration's handling of the Epstein files in recent days as he faces growing political backlash. White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Newsweek that the Republican Party has achieved "unprecedented unity and strength" under Trump's leadership.

While several high‑profile figures on the far right have publicly criticized the Trump administration over its handling of the documents related to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, many grassroots MAGA voters appear undeterred by the scandal.

President Trump’s DOJ interviewed convicted Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell for the second day in a row. MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton reports on the Epstein whirlwind around President Trump and is joined by former special agent Asha Rangappa and author Tara Setmayer.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi informed Trump in May that his name was included in the Epstein files related to the sex trafficking case. The revelation comes after weeks of speculation surrounding the files as Trump has repeatedly tried to distract MAGA from the Epstein case.

"When he's ready, he'll let them out," Ed DeLucca, 72, told the BBC, saying he hoped Trump would bring the documents to light. For Mr DeLucca, the rumoured files would ultimately be delivered much like any other Trump promise, such as closing the border or mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

Donald Trump is fuming. As the president marked six months in office this week, the MAGA civil war over the Epstein files continued to dominate the news cycle, leaving the White House scrambling to find a way to stave off a growing political firestorm.
