The Trump Administration has tried—and failed—to put tensions over its handling of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case to bed for weeks. But they’ve only continued to escalate as news outlets have reported new information related to President Donald Trump’s years-long relationship with Epstein and potential inclusion in files related to the case.

President Trump has come under fire from a section of his MAGA base over his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.

President Donald Trump made the claim that the Justice Department’s files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were “made up” by former President Barack Obama, ex-FBI director James Comey and the Biden administration.
