Trump's effort to dismiss Epstein files as hoax' fails to quell Maga rebellion

Calls from various political figures, including Mike Pence and Laura Loomer, demand the release of all documents related to Epstein’s investigation. Some Trump supporters express discontent, leading to symbolic actions like burning MAGA hats. Senator Josh Hawley has raised doubts about the Justice Department's claims regarding Epstein's clients and demanded Ghislaine Maxwell's testimony. The situation indicates rising unrest within Trump's base and highlights a fracture in his typically loyal support.
The podcast host Theo Von, who attended Trump's inauguration and told Fox News it was inspiring, commented yeah what changed on a video of the vice-president, JD Vance, appearing on Von's show in 2024 and calling for the full Epstein list to be released.
Senator Josh Hawley questioned the justice department's claims about the files, saying: I think it is maybe a little difficult to believe the idea that DoJ and the FBI don't have any idea who Epstein's clients were, and called for Maxwell to testify.
