Trump and many of his allies including Bondi, and now-FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino entertained conspiracies about Epstein, particularly in the runup to the 2024 election.
Trump and his senior law enforcement officials had pledged to reveal the truth behind Epsteins crimes and his death promising to release a purported client list, that some believed would show that Epstein was blackmailing prominent elites, and entertaining the idea that he may have actually been killed to silence him.
But once in office, that all began to change culminating in a statement from the Department of Justice and FBI put out earlier this week that said Epstein did, in fact, end his own life and that there was no incriminating client list.
We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and selfish people are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, its Epstein, over and over again, Trump wrote on Saturday, insisting that any such files were actually written by Trumps enemies in previous Democratic administrations.
Much of the post-release furor has focused on Bondi, after some MAGA commentators speculated that she was slow-walking the truth. The Trump administration has spent the last couple days furiously denying reports that Bongino who regularly engaged in Epstein conspiracies as a podcaster was considering resigning from his position after a fight with the attorney general.
