Trump's embrace of conspiracy theories haunts him with Epstein case

President Donald Trump’s strategy has been to downplay the uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case as his supporters demand the Justice Department release much-hyped records in the investigation. Trump claimed Tuesday without citing evidence there are credibility issues with the unreleased documents. Speaking to reporters, he also called the case “pretty boring” and said he didn't understand the fascination with it. Trump's problem is the nothing-to-see-here approach doesn’t work for those who've learned from him they must not give up until the government’s secrets are exposed. Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI walked back the notion there's an Epstein client list of elites who participated in the New York financier’s trafficking of underage girls.
