MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton is joined by Fordham University’s Christina Greer and The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson to break down the ongoing fallout from the Epstein files and how it’s roiling the Trump administration and MAGA world.

They’ve got videotape and all a sudden they don’t,” the podcaster said of the government's sudden flip on Epstein files.

On July 6, a bombshell dropped on the MAGAverse. Axios reported via leaked Department of Justice documents that the government investigation found no mystery in the death by suicide of disgraced society pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and that he kept no client list.

President Donald Trump has increasingly been distancing himself from the debacle, calling Epstein's client list a "hoax" created by Democrats.

Trump and many in his administration are now facing the wrath of the more conspiracy theory-minded people who they counted among their most ardent supporters, sparked by the Department of Justice and Trump’s own pleas for people to stop asking questions about Epstein,

President Donald Trump lashed out at fellow Republicans who have been calling for his administration to release documents related to disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, casting the files as a distraction spun up by Democrats to undermine his agenda.
