The Trump–Epstein scandal just got another jolt, this time courtesy of a new Wall Street Journal report. The story reveals a bawdy birthday letter sent from Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein in the early 2000s. It’s crude, it’s creepy, and it confirms what many have long suspected: Trump and Epstein were far closer than he wants anyone to believe. Now Trump is threatening to sue over the article (classic move), but the damage may already be done. So how is MAGA reacting? Are they still buying the “we weren’t close” line? Or is the base starting to crack under the weight of receipts? We’ll break it all down, what this letter means, why Trump’s scrambling, and where this scandal might head next. Buckle up.

The Trump–Epstein file scandal just keeps spiraling. Now, in a truly bizarre twist, Trump is turning on his own supporters, lashing out at those demanding answers and calling the Epstein investigation a “hoax.” Joining us to unpack it all is Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee. He’s calling on Congress to “demand answers” and pushing back hard against the Trump administration’s attempts to bury this story. So what is Trump’s endgame here? Does he really believe this will blow over? The desperation is so thick, they’re even trotting out presidential health rumors to change the subject. It’s messy. It’s revealing. And it’s far from over. Let’s get into it. This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.
