MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday the Trump administration is "acting guilty" over the controversy related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

During the Wednesday episode of her MSNBC show, Wallacse said, "So, all the conduct that treats the people who care about this issue like babies and fools is mind‑boggling to me. Because the problem is that their desperation is showing — they’re acting guilty."

Wallace said President Donald Trump's supporters feel "betrayed" because the administration is trying to distract from the controversy, adding that Trump's behavior suggests there may be an "iceberg under the surface."

"So the distraction, the optics around the distraction, are also a big, shiny object and distraction in and of itself. But the people for whom the idea of a massive deep‑state coverup, protecting the powerful men and accomplices around Jeffrey Epstein, mean something — the people who feel betrayed, the people who are out there saying, 'This is a line in the sand' — the Joe Rogans and people in that orbit have made clear that they’re not going to be treated as fools," she said.

Wallace continued: "I’m left wondering, what is it that they’re trying to hide, that they’re comfortable with the optics of Ghislaine Maxwell, who I didn’t understand participated in the actual sexual abuse?"

Wallace noted that it was Maxwell who allegedly told several of the victims and survivors to take off their clothes and engaged in the exploitation of children, along with Epstein.

"I mean, she is a convicted sexual criminal," Wallace added.
