Nancy Mace Says Epstein Files Cost Her Donald Trump's Endorsement

TMZ is an established outlet with staff bylines, but its main reputation is in entertainment news and this short political report offers limited sourcing beyond Mace's post and the reported endorsement and polling.

• ▸Track record — Established outlet, though not chiefly known for original political reporting.
• ▸Source type — National outlet, but the piece uses a brief, tabloid-style format.
• ▸Author attribution — The article is attributed to TMZ Staff rather than a named reporter.
• ▸Editorial standards — The text attributes Mace's statements, but offers little detail about sourcing for polling or the endorsement's reported effects.
