CNN political analyst Maggie Haberman said late Tuesday that Trump administration officials are considering the release of “some sort of additional material” tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“There is a discussion about releasing some sort of additional material. We will see what that looks like,” Haberman, a New York Times political correspondent, said during an appearance on CNN’s “AC360.”

“The problem they’ve created for themselves … is whatever partial information they release, it will never be seen as enough. It will never be believed,” she added. 

The battle over releasing the Epstein files has roiled President Trump’s MAGA base and divided GOP lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

In July, the Justice Department and FBI said in a joint memo that said Epstein did not keep a “client list” and evidence supports the suicide ruling in the disgraced financier’s death.

“I think this has been a real lesson to top officials in this government that if you say something over and over again, your own followers are not necessarily going to stick with you if you say something different later,” Haberman said. 

Her remarks come as conservative voices have begun urging Trump’s MAGA base to stop focusing on the controversy.

“I think that right now it seems pretty clear we’re not going to get more information out of the government. They have closed the case,” right-wing podcaster Dinesh D’Souza said on the matter. “Unless Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s in prison, speaks out, and she’s free to speak out.”

He encouraged the public to “move on” from the controversy and accept the information published after the official investigation. 

“How can people be expected to have faith in Trump if he won’t release the Epstein files?” Elon Musk asked last week in a post on social platform X, which the billionaire former White House aide owns.

Another former White House aide, Steve Bannon, said the controversy could cost the GOP approximately 40 House seats in the midterm elections and potentially the White House in 2028.
