U.S. President Donald Trump is embroiled in a political storm over his administration's handling of unreleased files from Jeffrey Epstein's criminal case, leading to a division among his supporters.

Epstein, a former math teacher turned financial manager, was known for his high-profile connections, including socializing with Donald Trump in the 1990s and early 2000s, though Trump has denied wrongdoing.

Conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's death and his ties to elites have intensified tension within the conservative MAGA movement, with Trump advocating for the declassification of grand jury transcripts to quell the growing dissent.
