The Trump Administration has tried—and failed—to put tensions over its handling of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case to bed for weeks.

Trump’s recent bid to quell outrage over his administration’s perceived lack of transparency on the case of the notorious late sex criminal (and the president’s former friend) Jeffrey Epstein has hit a stumbling block.
