Jeffrey Epstein, Trump and MAGA
Digest more
Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi have come under fire from conservatives on the Hill and across the country for declining to release the Epstein probe files in their entirety.
Trump DOJ dismissal of Epstein ‘client list’ fuels MAGA division. Here’s a guide to the controversy.
President Donald Trump outraged many of his supporters after the Justice Department published an unsigned memo saying it would not release any more documents related to deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens decried the scandal as a “terminal cancer to the MAGA movement.” Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued: “The fact that the U.S. government, the one that I voted for, refused to take my question seriously and instead said, ‘Case closed, shut up conspiracy theorist,’ was too much for me.”
Trump lashed out at supporters who are calling for more information to be released about convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. He also doubled down on the claim that Democrats created the files.
President Donald Trump is facing more pressure over the Jeffrey Epstein files. The latest: House Speaker Mike Johnson made a rare break with Trump over his handling of files related to the dead sex offender.
If the president wanted the Epstein controversy to fade away, he probably shouldn’t keep saying provocative comments about it.
