Overview

• During a Fox News interview with Lara Trump, Charlamagne tha God argued that the Epstein files controversy presents an opportunity for traditional conservatives to reclaim control of the Republican Party.
• In an early Sunday Truth Social post, President Trump branded Charlamagne a “racist sleazebag” and “low IQ individual” while defending his administration’s record.
• The confrontation highlights widening divisions within the GOP over transparency on Jeffrey Epstein documents and the loyalties of the MAGA base.
• A July 6 Department of Justice and FBI memo determined Epstein died by suicide without an incriminating client list and decided against releasing additional files, fueling frustration and conspiracy theories among supporters.
• Trump has sought to distance himself from Epstein by noting he expelled the financier from Mar-a-Lago and instructing officials to release all files provided no one is harmed.
