Trump calls for MAGA base to end 'Epstein Files' obsession
UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – Trump denounces continued MAGA pressure for Epstein files after DOJ memo found no client list or foul play, urging focus on 2020 election fraud claims instead.
- Earlier this week at a press event held in Washington D.C., President Donald Trump dismissed the Epstein Files controversy as a hoax.
- The controversy stems from Epstein's 2019 death amid child trafficking allegations and ongoing partisan debates fueled by MAGA supporters and Democrats.
- Trump downplayed the matter, praised Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling, and said she should release any credible information the Justice Department holds.
- A bipartisan House discharge petition requiring 218 signatures aims to compel Speaker Mike Johnson to vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act for full public disclosure.
- Trump seeks to calm internal MAGA disputes while controlling the narrative, as some supporters view him as part of a rigged system amid persistent demands for transparency.
