Ghislaine Maxwell's family have questioned why the Trump administration have decided not to release the Epstein files to the public, despite claiming they would do so

When Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then-President Donald Trump speculated that authorities might be wrong in ruling it a suicide.

MSNBC’s Ari Melber reports on the escalating MAGA meltdown and internal crisis sparked by President Trump’s DOJ and its handling of the Epstein files, as Trump continues to attempt to squash the story.

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

Democrats have already forced Republicans to take tough Epstein-related procedural votes that have stoked a barrage of constituent calls into GOP offices, but they have not yet been able to force a clear up-or-down vote on releasing the so-called Epstein files.

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.

Maurene Comey, a Manhattan federal prosecutor who worked on the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was said to have been fired by the Trump administration on Wednesday. The reason for her firing was not immediately clear.
