US EditionAmid Epstein fallout, the Trump administration revisits key MAGA policy themes
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – MAGA supporters demand Trump release all Epstein-related documents amid allegations and withheld records, while the Justice Department reviews over 100,000 files, Senator Grassley said.
- On July 18, 2025, a group of protesters gathered near the White House calling for all documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein to be made public amid the ongoing political debate.
- The dispute stems from The Wall Street Journal's July report claiming President Trump signed a lewd letter for Epstein's 2003 50th birthday album, which Trump denies and has sued over.
- The Trump administration has released a Justice Department memo concluding no evidence exists of an incriminating client list and has petitioned courts to unseal grand jury testimony with redactions for victims.
- Trump called the Epstein investigation a 'hoax' in recent posts and told supporters to move on, while some in his base reacted angrily to the memo and media coverage, complicating political narratives.
- The controversy has intensified partisan divisions but has not significantly damaged Trump’s Republican approval ratings, though experts note the political implications remain uncertain.

The US president, who is suing a newspaper, would do everything he could to put behind him the outrage of his supporters who are sniffing out contrivances in the case of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He would make public the testimony of the prosecution, but the process is not easy, and they are not expected to make a big revelation.
