Confronted Over Epstein Files, Trump and Bondi Tell Supporters to Move On
President Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi once suggested they would expose the hidden, potentially sinister truth about Jeffrey Epstein’s death in 2019. On Tuesday, they had a message to supporters incensed by the decision to close the case once and for all: Get over it.
“You still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?” Mr. Trump, visibly exasperated, asked a reporter at a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, the day after the Justice Department released a memo concluding that “no further disclosure would be appropriate or warranted” in the investigation of Mr. Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.
Ms. Bondi, the main target of critics on the right, added, “He committed suicide.”
But Epstein obsessives, who make up a small but influential cohort of Mr. Trump’s far-right political coalition, showed zero inclination to move on — quite the opposite, in fact. They largely spared Mr. Trump, but have turned with a vengeance on Ms. Bondi; the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel; and his top deputy, Dan Bongino, for failing to come up with anything new or salacious in a case that multiple investigations have long deemed a dead end.
“She needs to resign,” wrote Laura Loomer, a Trump ally who has suggested, without evidence, that the department had suppressed evidence that Mr. Epstein was murdered. “The American people and MAGA base will not tolerate being lied to.”
Devotees of the trump Show are not capable of villainizing the star. So they are directing their ire at the supporting cast. A collection of expendable nitwits and misfits who do not enjoy the magical golden dome of protection keeping Don from suffering the consequences of his actions.
He says stop talking about the mysterious Epstein files so that they must. After all, today's bread and circuses includes ever shifting tariff threats, climate change denial, and the unwarranted occupation of a major US city by federal agents. What fun.
The Show must go on...........or it leaves time to contemplate what's happening behind the curtain.
