Even if you're sick of hearing about Jeffrey Epstein – and who among us hasn't felt that way at times – President Donald Trump and his team have been far more fixated on the relentless controversy than they have ever acknowledged.
That (and plenty of other juicy revelations) is based on three years of reporting for a forthcoming book. "Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump" is by New York Times correspondents Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan and slated to be published in two weeks.
