United States President Donald Trump accused on Wednesday (16), some of his own supporters of being “weak” for falling into the “bullshit” of Democrats about Jeffrey Epstein, accused of sex trafficking-and concluded that he no longer wants the support of these people.
The new statement is one of the.
A portion of supporters publicly require more information about Epstein practices. The case has been the target of numerous conspiracy theories since the death of the businessman accused in prison in 2019. See what we know about the case:
Who was Jeffrey Epstein
Jeffrey Epstein was an American financial tycoon accused of sexual trafficking involving minors. Epstein built a career in New York, starting as a math teacher until he access prominent positions in American economy and politics.
The businessman had a close relationship with celebrities, politicians and artists, including Prince Andrews of England, former US President Bill Clinton and current US leader Donald Trump.
Sexual Trafficking Investigations
In early July, the United States Department of Justice announced that the same investigation concluded that he was not murdered in prison.
The department also released 10 hours of prison security images showing that no one entered the Epstein cell the day the businessman committed suicide.
Right media figures have suggested for years that the US government has been hiding Epstein -related secrets.
Some of these individuals enthusiastically insisted on the theory that Epstein kept a “client list” as a blackmail against powerful figures that he helped commit similar crimes.
Questions of Trump’s allies in the past about the case
Previously, Trump’s current allies, such as Vice President JD Vance, have already criticized and questioned the progress of the investigation during Joe Biden’s democratic government.
“How much interest the US government would have to keep Epstein customers secret? Ah…”, posted suggestively Vance in 2021.
“They see their pants of big boy and tell us who the pedophiles are,” Patel said in 2023.
“Listen, this story of Jeffrey Epstein is a big deal,” said now FBI deputy director Dan Bongino in the same year. “Please don’t let this story pass. Keep an eye on that.”
“Who is on these tapes?” Bongino added in February shortly before entering the government. “Who is in these secret records? Why are they hiding this?”
People most directly responsible for this subject today – and now insisting that there is nothing there – they are also the same as there was a lot to discover and suggested that things were being covered.
Bongino told Fox News last month: “I’m no longer paid for my opinions. Now I work for the taxpayer. I’m paid for evidence.”
FBI reports
But the internal dispute between the department and the FBI reached the peak this month. At a meeting, FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino were confronted about a report that said the secret service wanted more information about Epstein to be released.
But that the Justice Department would have blocked the disclosure of more details.
After this meeting, Bongino.
Patel, in turn, posted on social networks that he would continue to serve in the Trump administration. Although he often commented on Epstein conspiracies, Patel admitted in his publication, “The theories of conspiracy are simply not true, never were.”
Attorney General Pamela Bondi, who has repeatedly promised to disclose documents from Epstein, has supported the weight of the frustration of the magician’s supporters.
Case Revolt followers
After years of great promises on Trump, the investigation failed to produce a decisive proof, undermining the President’s own words and his team.
The scenario caused revolt in the Make America Great Again (Make America – “Make Big America again” in the literal translation) Putting the allies closest to the president against each other.
In recent days, Trump has been asking him to forget the case, stating that questions about the existence of a list and the cause of the businessman’s death are “a scam.”
While the president continues to defend the conclusions, the situation created an unprecedented loyalty test with the movement he himself created.
Although the American leader has long had a significant influence on his base, the situation marks one of the first times his movement is not following the directions of his leader.
The situation can offer a sketch of how the magician will evolve into a post-TRUMP era.
During Turning Point uses Student Action Summit, an event designed to mobilize conservative young people, Republican supporters raised questions about the investigations of the case.
“I don’t think they are telling us the truth about Epstein. I think this guy was involved in something harmful that involves a lot of people. And my guess is all these people can be one of our allies,” said a conservative youtuber.
