Donald Trump and his MAGA team, who once obsessed over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files, are now sparking outrage and suspicion over their withholding of evidence.
This lead Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, including Jamie Raskin, to write letter to Pam Bondi.
The ‘Jamie Raskin Epstein letter’ demands all of the Epstein files that “mention or reference” Trump.
John Iadarola and Sharon Reed break it down on The Damage Report.
“The MAGA base is still irate at the Trump administration’s decision to essentially drop the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Trump made a dubiously timed Truth Social post on Monday praising FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino for “locking up criminals, and cleaning up America’s streets.” The praise came after a day of excoriation from the deep MAGA base, as they called for the heads of Patel, Bongino, and Attorney General Pam Bondi. And they have a point—all three of the senior Trump officials (and even Vice President JD Vance) either outright pushed or fanned the flames of the idea that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
When Bongino replied to Trump’s praise with a nonchalant “We are doubling down. No letting up,” the supporters who once felt represented by Bongino came for him. Nearly every reply to the post was a reference to Epstein and Bongino’s broken promise.
“Sorry sir, today is not a good day to try and inspire confidence. How did we go from ‘the client list is on my desk’ to there is no list and he killed himself?” said one dismayed loyalist. “How is [Ghislaine] Maxwell in prison for trafficking to no one?””
