MAGA Comes to Trump’s Defense on Epstein After WSJ Turmoil
UNITED STATES, JUL 20 – Internal disputes within Trump’s MAGA base stem from Epstein-related disclosures and a $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal, raising concerns about his political standing and voter support.
- The Justice Department announced this month that no further Epstein case files warrant release, sparking anger among some MAGA supporters and commentators.
- This followed increased public demand and calls from former adviser Steve Bannon and others for more transparency and a special counsel on Epstein.
- At the same time, Trump escalated his criticism of the Wall Street Journal after it reported that he had sent a sexually suggestive letter to Epstein in 2003, a claim Trump denied as untrue and defamatory.
- Trump launched a $10 billion legal action targeting the Journal and key individuals, claiming the report was intentionally harmful, while polls reveal divided public opinion, with approximately 54% disapproving of his management of Epstein-related matters.
- The episode has both united MAGA supporters against perceived media attacks and highlighted growing voter skepticism that could influence next year’s midterm elections.
