MAGA, Trump and Jeffrey Epstein
Digest more
Donald Trump is once again angry, but this time his ire is directed at a new audience: his own MAGA supporters.
Their actions range from pressuring the administration to release more information to spinning additional conspiracy theories about the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender.
President Donald Trump escalated his attacks against members of his MAGA base who are imploring his administration to be more transparent regarding the Jeffrey Epstein files. Trump described Republicans criticizing him and Attorney General Pam Bondi for overpromising and underdelivering on the federal government’s files on the Epstein investigations as “stupid.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens decried the scandal as a “terminal cancer to the MAGA movement.” Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued: “The fact that the U.S. government, the one that I voted for, refused to take my question seriously and instead said, ‘Case closed, shut up conspiracy theorist,’ was too much for me.”
President Donald Trump and his administration are doing everything they can to make MAGA forget about Jeffrey Epstein. They are failing.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll, the majority of U.S. voters disapprove of Trump's handling of files related to Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in jail in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
MAGA-friendly TV channel Newsmax is throwing shade at Fox News for tiptoeing around the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Anchor Rob Schmitt suggested that Fox News hosts are “terrified” to cover MAGA’s uproar over the Trump administration’s decision not to release any more information on the late convicted sex offender.
