Trump faces expanding Epstein scandal

Episode 46 | 13m 14s

For months, the White House has been doing somersaults to distract from what has now become a scandal so combustible that it’s creating fissures with the Republican Party. A small but powerful group of otherwise Trump loyalists is siding with Democrats, demanding the release of files that may offer greater transparency into the influence and connections of the late sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.

Major funding for “Washington Week with The Atlantic” is provided by Consumer Cellular, Otsuka, Kaiser Permanente, the Yuen Foundation, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
