Trump has scolded reporters, claimed ignorance and offered distractions in an effort to quash questions about Epstein and the suspicions still swirling around the disgraced financier's case years after his 2019 death in prison. The demand for answers has only grown.

New polling reveals that the fallout from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal continues to cast a shadow over Donald Trump and his administration.

For a president skilled at manipulating the media and controlling the Republican Party, it has been the most challenging test of his ability to shift the conversation in his second term.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), who has been a target of recent attacks from Trump, also swooped in: “The president won’t rule out a pardon for a convicted child sex trafficker and Epstein’s co-conspirator. Says he is allowed to do it. Nothing suspicious about that...”

After The Wall Street Journal published an exclusive on an apparent letter written to Jeffrey Epstein, President Trump went to battle.
