After Attorney General Pam Bondi announced, with Trump at her side, earlier this week that there would be no Epstein client list release, the MAGA world placed blame on her. Laura Loomer led the way on social media calling for her job, and many others did the same.
The Epstein affair had the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory. He was a rich financier with a Jewish surname and powerful acquaintances, including Bill Clinton, a former president, and Prince Andrew, a British royal.
Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."
During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."
Trump's followers on Truth Social were not having it and accused the president of "gaslighting" and insisted his argument is "not holding water."
