The only real question in this new Epstein saga: Does it damage Donald Trump? On Tuesday, the president batted away a question about a recent Justice Department memo that concluded there was “no incriminating ‘client list,’” no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein “blackmailed prominent individuals” and nothing that could be used to launch any further investigations. During a cabinet meeting, Trump let Attorney General Pam Bondi once again try to appease a roiling, MAGA-supporting online world that won’t take “case closed” for an answer.
These “Mr. President, you are being misled” posts from top MAGA names are very enticing to outsiders, especially Democrats. On Monday, they not-so-subtly hinted that MAGA skeptics should keep pushing the Trump administration on Epstein stuff.
“I handed the Trump administration a ready-made Epstein file involving a billionaire financier and Wall Street banks, and they have done nothing with it,” Sen. Ron Wyden told NOTUS’ Violet Jira. “Second, I know for a fact that the Trump administration is sitting on an Epstein file that contains new actionable information, and they’ve done nothing with that either.”
