Christie Says Trump ‘Benefited’ From Epstein Conspiracy Theories
UNITED STATES, JUL 13 – Former Governor Chris Christie says Trump used Epstein conspiracy theories to energize his base and claims Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to withhold files, fueling political fallout.
- During Sunday’s broadcast on ABC’s “This Week,” Christie said President Donald Trump “benefited directly” from fueling the Epstein controversy.
- Amid the 2024 race, Christie noted he started the Epstein fire by alleging it was a Democratic plot, using that to fire up his own base, Christie said.
- In a memo obtained by Axios, the Justice Department-FBI memo stated Epstein had no client list and died by suicide, refuting prominent allegations.
- Following Trump’s post, the MAGA base felt misled and criticized Attorney General Pam Bondi, Christie said.
- Previously, Isgur cautioned, `this actually does have a real potential to influence whether Donald Trump has that protection between him and his base, those translators`, and Christie warned `when you start the fire, sometimes you can’t put it out`.
