Exploring the Epstein Controversy and Its Impact on Trump's Support

This is the second episode in a two part series. If you haven’t yet, start by listening to Part 1: How the Epstein conspiracy turned MAGA against Trump.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein have a well documented history together. What started off as a friendship eventually turned sour, with Trump claiming he never really liked him.

But even though there is no evidence that Trump was involved in any of Epstein’s crimes, the association is now doing damage. Not because they were friends, but because Trump promised answers to his base about Epstein’s connections – and now has failed to give them. 

In this episode, tech and power reporter for The Guardian, Nick Robins-Early, on what it will mean for Trump’s grip on power if even a small number of his supporters lose faith in him.
