President Donald Trump has realized that the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case saga is tearing apart the MAGA base — so he is trying to tamp down the conspiracy theories with a new — even more bizarre — one, Steve Benen wrote in an analysis for MSNBC.

For years, the Trump base has believed — with the encouragement of Trump himself and many people like Kash Patel who are now at the highest ranks of his law enforcement operation — that the FBI was sitting on a hidden "client list" detailing the deceased financier's ties to liberal celebrities and politicians who were presumably in on his trafficking operation. But the Justice Department's announcement this month that the case is closed and the "list" does not exist has led to many in MAGA world calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi's termination, which Trump is trying to stave off.

President Donald Trump's approval rating has plummeted on one of his key issues — and he's dragging down support for the agency tasked with enforcing his immigration policies, a data analyst said Monday.

The president won re-election promising mass deportations, but CNN's Harry Enten said the public has seemingly turned on his crackdown less than six months after returning to office.

President Donald Trump's devoted fanbase is accustomed to believing whatever he tells them, even blatantly false hoaxes — but he's finally told them something that they can't accept as true, wrote Michael Tomasky for The New Republic in an analysis published on Monday.

Specifically, Trump and those in his inner circle have done a complete 180 on the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case, spending years asserting that there was some big conspiracy to protect scores of rich and powerful people who were supposedly implicated in a "client list." Only for Attorney General Pam Bondi to clarify there is no "client list" and Epstein's death in jail was indeed a suicide, which has kicked off fury from MAGA world and calls for Trump's law enforcement team to resign — even as Trump himself begs his base to let it go.

A 6-year-old Honduran boy battling leukemia was detained — along with his family — by President Donald Trump's ICE agents despite following every immigration rule, the boy's lawyer told Salon.

The family's nightmare began when they were seized by plainclothes ICE agents after a court hearing in May.

President Donald Trump left soccer stars baffled as he presented them with the Club World Cup trophy Sunday — then stayed to hog the limelight of their victory.

Trump took to the stage after Chelsea shocked Paris Saint-Germain with an unexpected 3-0 win Sunday.

The Jeffrey Epstein matter has prompted more backlash than just about any other scandal in Donald Trump's second presidency, and the White House isn't sure how to turn the page.

The president directed his followers to stop discussing the notorious sex trafficker in a Truth Social post over the weekend, but MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire said on the show "Morning Joe" that his demands were met with anger, confusion and derision — and the MAGA base has turned on some key Trump officials.

Six months into his presidency, Donald Trump has turned the federal government into a conspiracy theory factory, deploying taxpayer resources to investigate debunked claims while his administration grinds to a halt chasing internet fantasies, the Washington Post reported Monday.

When Trump falsely claimed millions of dead people were collecting Social Security, his administration spent 11 weeks overhauling the agency's database. When he bought into racist conspiracy theories about White South African farmers being "systematically massacred," U.S. officials developed plans to resettle 1,000 of them as refugees.
