MAGA Mike FREEZES as Epstein Files Drop — Nightmare Begins. ..
Newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents have reignited controversy around President Trump, whose name appears more than a thousand times across the files. While many references are media clippings, some include summaries of unverified allegations. Trump denies wrongdoing, and the DOJ says the claims are false, but the political fallout is growing.
House Speaker Mike Johnson struggled to defend Trump, relying on personal assurances from private conversations rather than addressing the documents directly. He also attempted to walk back Trump’s claim that the Epstein files are a “Democratic hoax,” highlighting inconsistent messaging from the administration.
This scandal lands at a dangerous moment. Fox News polling shows 59% of voters say ICE enforcement has gone too far. A Texas special election flipped a district Trump won by 17 points into a 14-point Democratic victory. Even Republican strategist Karl Rove is criticizing Trump’s economic messaging as disconnected from voter reality.
With no major policy wins to shift attention, the Epstein revelations risk becoming a persistent crisis heading into the midterms.
