Donald Trump's first term chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, said that he believes the president is mentioned in the Jeffery Epstein files. Follow Newsweek's live blog.

The scandal over billionaire sex-trafficker Epstein and his ties to the American ruling class, including Donald Trump, has erupted into a major political crisis.

When Jeffrey Epstein died in prison, then-President Donald Trump speculated that authorities might be wrong in ruling it a suicide.

Ghislaine Maxwell's family have questioned why the Trump administration have decided not to release the Epstein files to the public, despite claiming they would do so

Donald Trump very rarely loses control of his own story. But the Jeffrey Epstein saga is beyond his powers to quell.

Trump has made a volatile enemy out of Governor Gavin Newsom. California sued the federal government last month after Trump deployed thousands of National Guard members to manhandle Los Angeles’s anti-ICE protests. An appeals court later blocked a court decision that would have handed the authority of the National Guard back to Newsom.

Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI abruptly walked back the notion that there's an Epstein client list of elites who participated in the wealthy New York financier’s trafficking of underage girls.

Trump is expected to make a controversial announcement or policy decision shortly in order to offset the unwanted attention on Jeffrey Epstein
