President Trump said the outrage among his supporters over the Epstein case was just the latest “scam” cooked up by Democrats.

In defending how his administration is handling supposed files on Jeffrey Epstein, he said "stupid" Republicans fell for a hoax.

He—the president, their leader, the martyr who had endured scandals and prosecution and an assassin’s bullet on their behalf—had repeatedly told them it was time to move on, and that alone should suffice. Why, he groused, would the White House add fuel to the fire, would it play into the media’s narrative?

House Speaker Mike Johnson just made clear that the lower chamber wouldn’t budge on the Jeffrey Epstein case until at least September.

President Donald Trump’s strategy has been to downplay the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case as his supporters demand the Justice Department release much-hyped records in the investigation.

Six months into his second term, Trump’s Ukraine pivot is shaky, his Epstein strategy is backfiring, and Republicans are torching congressional norms because they can. The Washington Monthly politics roundtable unpacks the week’s unraveling.

The president shared a fake video showing his predecessor getting arrested, mere days after his administration accused Barack Obama of treason.
