The row over The Epstein Files is one that President Trump is still struggling to shake off. But just how damaging is it for his credibility, and where does his disappointed MAGA base turn next? Christiane and Jamie analyse whether Trump is going to suffer long-term damage from this scandal, and wonder whether the Files will ever be released in full.
Christiane also points out the irony of Trump - one of the most prominent purveyors of conspiracy theories in the last decade - now being criticised by the same supporters who have gladly peddled his conspiracies for the last few years. Plus Christiane and Jamie trace the history of these theories in the US, right back to the 1960s and conspiracies around JFK's assassination and the CIA.
They also react to Trump's recent decision to sell more US weapons to Ukraine, and Christiane issues her strongest call yet for an end to the Gaza War, and the slaughter of innocent civilians, plus the return of the hostages.
