1. Crisis in Governance: Epstein Fallout, DOJ Turmoil, and MAGA Dissent
1.1 Epstein Files Spark Unprecedented Political Crisis
The administration’s handling of disclosures related to Jeffrey Epstein has ignited a severe and escalating political crisis, creating an “unprecedented division” between President Trump and his core supporters [1]. The public fissure began when President Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi’s management of the case, a move that drew sharp condemnation from influential ally Elon Musk, who labeled one of the President’s online defenses the “worst post ever” [2]. The controversy has since spiraled into what media outlets describe as a “MAGA rebellion,” with some influential supporters publicly calling for a “Special Counsel” to take the investigation out of the Attorney General’s hands [3, 4].
