Trump, Jeffrey Epstein and MAGA
Digest more
Donald Trump’s own strategists and advisers aren’t sure the president’s base will survive Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost.
The FBI and DOJ said they do not plan to make future public disclosures related to their review of Epstein's case, stoking outrage among Trump's most vocal supporters.
MAGA-friendly media has been torn over how to respond to a base that wants more on the Epstein files and a president who wants it to move on.
Trump lashed out at his MAGA base on Wednesday over their meltdown to the Justice Department’s memo that concluded that Epstein had no “client list” of high-profile public figures involved in the scandal. He said in his Truth Social post that he no longer wanted the support of those who cared about the case.
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.”
