Trump faces growing criticism from base over Epstein files

Season 2025 Episode 190 | 7m 27s

The report ruled out foul play, saying Epstein died by suicide, and found no evidence that he kept a list to incriminate those involved in his sex crimes. Now, some of President Trump’s allies are frustrated that the administration is moving on from the case. John Yang discussed more with Glenn Thrush.
