MAGA, Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
Digest more
Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters.
Their actions range from pressuring the administration to release more information to spinning additional conspiracy theories about the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.
President Donald Trump escalated his attacks against members of his MAGA base who are imploring his administration to be more transparent regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump described Republicans criticizing him and Attorney General Pam Bondi for overpromising and underdelivering on the federal government’s files on the Epstein investigations as “stupid.
The president disavowed longtime backers who are furious over the administration's conclusion that the accused sex trafficker died by suicide in jail and did not possess a secret list of clients.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, the majority of U.S. voters disapprove of Trump's handling of files related to Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in jail in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
MAGA-friendly TV channel Newsmax is throwing shade at Fox News for tiptoeing around the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Anchor Rob Schmitt suggested that Fox News hosts are “terrified” to cover MAGA’s uproar over the Trump administration’s decision not to release any more information on the late convicted sex offender.
Trump lashed out at his MAGA base on Wednesday over their meltdown to the Justice Department’s memo that concluded that Epstein had no “client list” of high-profile public figures involved in the scandal. He said in his Truth Social post that he no longer wanted the support of those who cared about the case.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk issued a new message to Trump about Epstein, days after he said he was "done" talking about it.
