MSNBC’s Ari Melber is joined by Former SDNY prosecutor Maya Wiley and Vanity Fair’s Molly Jong-Fast to discuss the escalating MAGA meltdown and internal crisis sparked by President Trump’s DOJ and its handling of the Epstein files.

Right-wing influencers now have to choose between authenticity to their brand, and their loyalty to Trump.

P resident Donald Trump is facing mounting backlash from his MAGA base over his administration's handling of the Epstein files and its deepening involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict -- and the splintering is especially evident among many of the podcasters and comedians who helped propel his return to power last year.

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.

Conservatives, led by key figures in Trump’s MAGA movement, have pressed unsubstantiated claims that Epstein was murdered and that “deep state” actors in the government are hiding lists of his clients, videos of crimes being committed and other evidence. Trump himself suggested there was a cover-up.

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

Trump urged his supporters over the weekend to stop talking about Epstein as some expressed anger over his administration’s failure to release more information about its probe into the convicted sex offender.
