Why the Epstein Files split Trump's base

Senior members of the Trump administration, including President Donald Trump himself, are facing growing criticism from their own supporters after the Justice Department concluded that no document exists that lists every associate or client of convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and that the disgraced financier died by suicide in jail. But members of Trump’s party don’t believe Attorney General Pam Bondi’s findings.

Instead, they are calling for Trump to fulfil his campaign promise of releasing as much information as possible about Epstein's alleged high-profile clients.

It’s a story that has stretched over a decade, and today we’re going to break down what happened, why it's causing such a stir within Trump's own party, and what this means for the administration going forward.
