A political firestorm has erupted around Donald Trump and his administration's handling of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier convicted of sex crimes.
Many of Trump's core supporters are demanding the full release of Epstein-related documents, suspecting a cover-up, while Trump has dismissed the controversy as a 'witch hunt' and attempted to deflect blame onto Democrats and other political rivals. The Justice Department has moved to unseal some grand jury materials, but critics argue these efforts are insufficient and accuse Trump of betraying his base. The controversy has fueled a wave of conspiracy theories and deepened divisions within the Republican Party, with some supporters even turning against Trump.
Polls show a majority of Americans want transparency, but the administration's response has only intensified scrutiny and speculation.
