Video Description

For the past two weeks, President Trump has been trying and failing to get his supporters to stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein. David Enrich, a deputy investigations editor for The New York Times, and Shawn McCreesh, a Times White House correspondent, explain why MAGA won’t let go of this scandal, how the president misread his own base — and what all this shows about the limits of Mr. Trump’s power.
