by It was once proposed by President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi that they will reveal the secret, possibly evil, truth regarding Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019. They sent out a message on Tuesday to supporters who were furious over the decision to permanently dismiss the case: Move on.
Are you still discussing Jeffrey Epstein? The day after the Justice Department issued a statement stating that no additional disclosure would be appropriate or required in the investigation of Mr. Epstein, the disgraced billionaire and convicted sex offender, Mr. Trump, clearly frustrated, questioned a reporter during a cabinet meeting on Tuesday.
He committed suicide, Ms. Bondi, the primary target of the right-wing critics, added.
However, Epstein acolytes, who comprise a small but significant portion of Mr. Trump’s far-right political alliance, showed no desire to leave—quite the contrary. The F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, and his senior deputy, Dan Bongino, have come under fire for failing to produce anything fresh or sensational in a case that numerous investigations have long concluded is a dead end. They have mostly spared Mr. Trump.
Laura Loomer, a Trump supporter who has implied without proof that the department hid evidence of Mr. Epstein’s death, commented, “She needs to resign.” The MAGA base and the American people will not put up with deception.
Over the Epstein case, Elon Musk, who had a falling out with Mr. Trump, has attacked the president and the Justice Department. If Trump refuses to make the Epstein files public, how can anyone expect them to trust him?On Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Musk shared something on social media.
The probe has consumed a significant amount of government work and political attention, but there are no signs that Mr. Trump is thinking of replacing Ms. Bondi or anybody else. However, he obviously wants it behind him and was visibly upset when questioned about it at the meeting, which was meant to discuss the deadly floods in Texas as well as to celebrate recent legislative and foreign policy successes.
