Best of the Daily Blast: Trump Epstein Mess Worsens as MAGA Cracks Up: “He Lame-Ducked Himself”

Original air date: June 1, 2026 With the Daily Blast on break this week, join us as we revisit some of our top episodes of 2026! Former attorney general Pam Bondi testified behind closed doors Friday about the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. She effectively ⁠let it be known⁠ that Todd Blanche, now acting AG, has been responsible for this debacle, ⁠creating a new inquiry⁠ for Democrats to pursue that will be fraught for Trump. Bondi also ⁠went mum⁠ on how Trump instructed her to handle the Epstein files, basically declining to back Trump’s spin that he was pro-transparency, raising still more questions for Democrats to pursue. Meanwhile, Trump’s sinking approval, Iran debacle, ballroom and slush fund are fracturing Trumpworld and the GOP: One Republican ⁠told⁠ The Atlantic that he has “lame-ducked himself.” We talked to historian Nicole Hemmer, author of ⁠several books⁠ ⁠about the right⁠. We discuss why the Epstein scandal continues to fracture the MAGA movement, the deeper reasons for Trump’s weakening hold on the GOP, and why MAGA will go into deep turmoil once Trump passes from the scene.
