Vance suggested Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell amid Epstein fallout, new book reveals

Vance proposed a Tucker Carlson interview with Ghislaine Maxwell to help clear Trump’s name as the Epstein files fueled a MAGA backlash.

  • A new report from The New York Times, written by reporters Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, details how President Donald Trump became the "biggest obstacle" to his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
  • Despite internal polling from Trump's top pollster Tony Fabrizio showing the files remained the sixth most important issue for GOP voters, the president repeatedly dismissed the story as "boring" or a "hoax."
  • Administration officials were "paralyzed" with paranoia during a high-stakes Situation Room meeting in July 2025, where Vice President JD Vance unsuccessfully pushed for full transparency on the files.
  • White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson reiterated Trump's innocence, stating he has "done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him" through signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act and cooperating with Congress.
  • The administration labeled file release a "non-starter" after discovering Trump's name appeared frequently within the documents, as he struggled to maintain control over the narrative surrounding his presidency.
