While the president previously pushed Rupert Murdoch for an expedited deposition, he has now agreed to a delayed one.

Here is a timeline of Epstein and Trump’s relationship. Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s. “Terrific guy,” Trump said in the 2002 interview.

As the Jeffrey Epstein controversy continues to drag on, President Donald Trump's administration is now scrambling to find a way out. And according to a new report, top White House officials will soon meet to assemble a game plan on how to put the Epstein fallout behind them.
