The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday and other news outlets confirmed what many had already suspected given Donald Trump’s apparent uneasiness about the unrelenting focus on his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein since his Administration tried to close the case on the alleged sex trafficker and unsuccessfully urge people to move on earlier this month.

With no sign of the political firestorm ending, Trump urges his Justice Department to pursue former President Barack Obama for an alleged, and baseless, scheme to rig the 2016 election. Of the Epstein drama swirling around his presidency, he claimed, “I don’t follow it too much.”

The president gets low marks for his handling of the scandal. But polls suggest other issues are driving the popularity dip.
