More taxes on the way + Why Epstein files may destroy Trump government

Afternoon headlines: Government accidentally released Treasury advice to ABC, Country Road closes stores as operating profits drop more than 71% and Trump will be hosted by King Charles III at Windsor Castle

Deep Dive: The Jeffrey Epstein files are threatening to destroy the Trump Administration with its powerful MAGA base demanding answers over broken promises.

President Trump had promised to release the top-secret documents but now the FBI says they don’t exist.

In this episode of the Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by US politics and foreign policy expert, Associate Professor David Smith, to unpack if there is a list and what these turn of events could mean for Trump.
