Trump called his supporters “weak people” because of his anger over his administration’s handling of the Epstein incident.
Trump says Ag Pam Bondi can release all the “reliable” Epstein documents
President Donald Trump said Attorney General Pam Bondy could release all “trustworthy” Epstein documents.
- “I don’t want their support anymore!” Trump said he was angry at Maga’s attempts by his administration to close Jeffrey Epstein’s book.
President Donald Trump has a message to supporters who are upset over the handling of records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump raised questions about his administration’s handling of the Epstein case, slamming them on a social media post on July 16th, clashing with conservative supporters who denounced them at an oval office event to promote what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax.”
“And my past supporters bought this “bull***”, “hooks, lines, sinkers.” They haven’t learned the lessons and probably never will,” Trump said on social media.
Comments are notable responsibilities to some of Trump’s top supporters and major MAGA influencers. He pushed back his administration’s attempts to close Epstein’s book after the president and some of his top officials raised expectations for a massive hit revelation.
For months, Attorney General Pam Bondy has pledged to release new information about Epstein, who died in prison in 2019. The New York chief examiner ruled Epstein’s death as a suicide, but some, including many Trump’s loyalty, have questioned the discovery and whether the government is protecting Epstein’s potential clients from public places.
Subsequently, on July 7, Bondi’s Justice Department revealed that a “systematic review” of the document had not guilty of the “client list” and issued a memo saying “full disclosure is not appropriate or guaranteed.” The memo also states that there is no evidence that Epstein was murdered while in custody.
The memo caused an inflammation of Trump’s base. “No one believes there’s a client list,” Senator Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) posted on X on July 8th.
Prominent Trump allies are looking for more Epstein Records releases.
“I’m for transparency,” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a July 15 interview with Benny Johnson Shaw.
Epstein’s client list allegations cause division among Trump supporters
The suspected list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients, and whether or not they exist, divides up President Donald Trump’s supporters.
“It’s a very delicate subject,” he added.
Trump, who had a friendship with Epstein a few years ago, told reporters on July 15 that he didn’t understand the “attractiveness” of the incident.
“It’s annoying, but it’s boring,” Trump said. “And I don’t know why it continues. Only really bad people with fake news want to keep it that way.”
However, in some conservatives, questions about the incident continue to last. R-Kentucky MP Thomas Massie announced on July 15 that he had submitted a bill called “Epstein Files Transparent Act,” which would force the full release of all government Epstein documents.
“We all deserve to know what is contained in the Epstein Files, who is involved, and how deep this corruption will become,” Massie said in a statement.
Green announced on July 16 that she was co-hosting the bill, declaring that “I will never protect pedophiles, the elite and their circles.”
Trump praised Bondy for handling the lawsuit on July 16 during an oval office meeting, complaining about pressure from the right.
tHe said the president “lost a lot of faith in certain people… because they were fooled.” He described his focus on Epstein as a distraction from his administration’s tax cuts, immigration agenda and other issues.
“That’s what you should be talking about,” he said.
