Jeffrey Epstein, the abuser at the center of a conspiracy theory creating political headwinds for President Donald Trump, was facing federal charges of sex trafficking underage girls when he was found dead in his New York prison cell.

President Donald Trump ended his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after Epstein betrayed him by hiring his former employees. The case has impacted both Trump's former and current political ventures. Controversy continues around Trump's handling of Epstein's death and the attempts at transparency in the investigation.

In the days since the Trump administration released a memo on Jeffrey Epstein directly at odds with conspiracy theories pushed by the president and some of his top lieutenants, Donald Trump’s movement and most ardent supporters are in revolt.
