Trump Admin Scrambles to Shut Down Epstein Talk — but MAGA Isn’t Having It
UNITED STATES, JUL 9 – A joint review by the Justice Department and FBI found no evidence of a client list or blackmail by Epstein after analyzing over 300 gigabytes of data and physical evidence.
- The Trump administration faced mounting criticism in early 2025 over its handling of Jeffrey Epstein files amid promises to release a client list and evidence.
- This scrutiny followed Attorney General Pam Bondi's February claim that Epstein-related files sat on her desk, raising expectations that were later dashed by a DOJ memo denying any client list exists.
- The administration and FBI released a memo concluding Epstein died by suicide in 2019 with no client list or evidence of blackmail, while conservative figures including Tucker Carlson alleged coverups and questioned Epstein's connections.
- MAGA supporters expressed fury, with some calling for Bondi’s firing and accusing other officials of orchestrating coverups, while Trump himself acknowledged infighting and urged unity on Truth Social.
- This controversy deepened fractures in Trump’s base, fueling conspiracy theories and skepticism about transparency that suggest ongoing tensions ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
