GOP Rethinking Trump Loyalty as Epstein Scandal Threatens Careers
The article suggests that while Donald Trump once held a firm grip on the Republican Party, there are signs that his influence is waning. The House Oversight Committee, led by Republican James Comer, released damaging documents from the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, which implicated Trump, causing a stir among the Republicans. Despite Trump’s attempts to control the narrative, some Republicans are publicly defying him and seeking to distance themselves from the issue, potentially at his expense. This situation could weaken Trump’s political capital on Capitol Hill, particularly as members of Congress prepare for re-election battles, and the White House struggles with issues that are important to American citizens.
