President Donald Trump on Saturday noted in a lengthy Truth Social post that he supports embattled members of his administration while asking the country to stop focusing on the late financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s post comes amid reports that his attorney general, Pam Bondi, as well as his top FBI officials, Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, were in conflict over a memo released last week by the Justice Department saying there is no so-called “Epstein list,” no conspiracy surrounding his suicide while in custody, and that no further information regarding the case is set for release.
Several reports claimed that Bongino was upset by the declaration and essentially gave the administration an ultimatum: Either Bondi goes, or he would step down from his position. Since those initial reports, he has not addressed the situation publicly, though Patel and Bondi have both stated publicly they intend to remain in their positions.
In his Truth Social post, Trump said he was displeased about what was taking place and went on to suggest that conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein were manufactured by some of the same people who devised the “Russian collusion” hoax ahead of his first term. He also voiced resounding support for Bondi, while mentioning Patel by name — but not 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.
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.
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!
Patel noted on his personal X account Saturday: “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.”
