President Donald Trump Takes Aim at Epstein Fixation, Defends His Team
In a lengthy Truth Social post on Saturday, President Donald Trump urged Americans to shift their attention away from the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, whose death and associated documents have dominated headlines. The president framed the ongoing focus on Epstein as a distraction orchestrated by his political opponents.
Trump’s message arrives amid reports of discord within his own administration. Attorney General Pam Bondi and top FBI officials—Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino—have reportedly clashed over a Justice Department memo released last week. The memo stated there is no “Epstein list,” found no conspiracy in Epstein’s custodial death, and announced no further documents will be released. Unverified reports suggested Bongino demanded Bondi’s removal or threatened to resign; Bondi and Patel have since publicly affirmed their commitment to remain in office.
In his post, President Trump expressed frustration with what he described as manufactured conspiracy theories, likening them to the so-called “Russian collusion” allegations that surfaced during his first term. He delivered pointed praise for Bondi and Patel while omitting any direct mention of Bongino. He wrote:
What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “selfish people” are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called “friends” are playing right into their hands.
Why didn’t these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it? They haven’t even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it’s never enough for some people.
The president questioned why left-wing figures have not released any damaging Epstein materials if they existed, noting that similar files concerning John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. remain unpublished. He contrasted his administration’s achievements—securing the border, deporting criminals, revitalizing the economy, and thwarting Iran’s nuclear ambitions—with what he called the endless cycle of “Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”
Trump continued:
We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein.
He concluded by reaffirming his support for Bondi’s work on election integrity and urging the public to move past Epstein-related matters:
LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Director Patel echoed the president’s stance on his personal X account: “The conspiracy theories just aren’t true, never have been. It’s an honor to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I’ll continue to do so for as long as he calls on me.”
