President Trump is facing a MAGA backlash over Jeffrey Epstein, and Trump’s broken 2024 pledge to release all files. MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports, joined by New York Times’ Emily Bazelon and Michael Grynbaum.

Trump’s problem is those who’ve learned from him they must not give up until the government’s deepest, darkest secrets are exposed.

MAGA’s disgruntlement with President Donald Trump over his team’s dismissal of the Jeffrey Epstein affair is turning into a political crisis, and a top pollster is comparing the fallout to the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that hobbled former President Joe Biden.

Seventy-nine percent of respondents said the Trump administration should disclose all the information it has on Epstein, while just 5% said it should not. An additional 17% said they were not sure.

Here is a timeline of Epstein and Trump’s relationship. Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s. “Terrific guy,” Trump said in the 2002 interview.

President Donald Trump has come to the defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi amid an all-out revolt among his MAGA base over the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. But his effort over the weekend to quell the outrage only seemed to add fuel to to the fire.

President Trump is backing Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, saying she “should release” whatever evidence she believes is credible. NBC News Senior Political Reporter Jonathan Allen joins Chris Jansing to report on the latest details.

Donald Trump very rarely loses control of his own story. But the Jeffrey Epstein saga is beyond his powers to quell.
