How the Trump White House Changed Its Tune on the Epstein Files
UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – Trump calls the Epstein files controversy a political scam and targets Democrats, despite polls showing 50% dissatisfaction with information released, including among Republicans.
- Late Thursday, President Donald J. Trump took to Truth Social to blast the files as his `Jeffrey Epstein SCAM`.
- Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported Trump's name appeared “multiple times” in the Epstein files, and the Justice Department memo on July 7 said it 'found no basis to revisit the disclosure of those materials'.
- A CNN survey conducted July 10-13 found half of respondents dissatisfied with the disclosures, including 4 in 10 Republicans, and calls for release intensified after a media report Wednesday said Trump's name appeared among hundreds in the files.
- Amid legislative gridlock, Congress adjourned early for August recess, and Trump's core MAGA base erupted in anger over the handling of the Epstein files.
- Amid ongoing scrutiny, pressure for full disclosure shows no sign of abating, and calls to release the files have impacted all three branches of government this week.
