When Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then-President Donald Trump speculated that authorities might be wrong in ruling it a suicide. Many of his allies in the pro-Trump media went further, casting Epstein’s death as a murder meant to continue a decades-long coverup of pedophilia by elites. Now back in the White House, Trump has elevated prominent proponents of Epstein conspiracies to senior law enforcement roles, and they’re struggling to contain a fire that they spent years stoking. Much of Trump’s base is choosing to believe the president’s earlier claims about Epstein over his latest contention that there’s nothing of substance in government files.
