Well, President Trump is marking his sixth month in office this week, touting his policy agenda and

transformation of the federal government. But he faces a public skeptical of his biggest

accomplishments and a growing focus on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. For more, I'm

joined now by two of our regular contributors, that's Democratic strategist Fas Shakir and Republican strategist Kevin Madden.

So great to have you both together here at the table again. Kevin, let's start with this Epstein issue.

Obviously, this is not leaving the president anytime soon. You saw the headlines today.

You know how Republicans on the House Oversight Committee subpoenaing Galane Maxwell to come

be deposed, a subcommittee going after more files. On top of that, the reports that Attorney

General Pam Bondi told Mr. Trump in May, his name is among those in the Epstein files.

Is it surprising you how sticky this issue is? And how potentially damaging is it?

It's not, but I will say like a lot of

Americans, I've actually made a real effort, a concerted effort and strive to avoid reading

about Jeffrey Epstein and try not to watch anything about it. And I simply cannot. It's the

omnipresence of this story, whether it's mainstream media, conservative media,

liberal media, you name it.

It's just out there.

And I think that omnipresence is what is creating the great distraction.

I think even a lot of the president's critics would say that in the first six months,

he's had a very clear agenda for what he wanted to do on everything like immigration, taxes, Doge,

and he's achieved a lot of it.

And a lot of that, a lot of those achievements have been working very well with Republicans

up on Capitol Hill.
