Donald Trump is facing criticism from his supporters over the Jeffrey Epstein case. The Justice Department stated that Epstein did not maintain a “client list” of underage girls trafficked, a claim that has been central too conspiracy theories involving Trump and his administration, including Attorney-General Pam Bondi. Bondi had previously promised to release such a list.
Trump has been under pressure regarding the issue, which threatens his support from the MAGA base. Conservative influencers have criticized the FBI‘s statement and Bondi’s response, though Trump has backed her. He has also dismissed the conspiracy theories as the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax,” comparing it to allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election and blaming Democrats for spreading the story.
Trump knew epstein socially in the 1990s and early 2000s.Epstein’s former pilot testified that trump flew on Epstein’s private plane multiple times, though trump denies this and has not been accused of any wrongdoing.
