MAGA supporters are voicing frustration with President Donald Trump after he offered a strong defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, whose Department of Justice recently denied the existence of a Jeffrey Epstein client list, despite years of promises from Trump allies to expose the disgraced financier’s secrets.
Longtime conservatives and Trump loyalists took to social media and voiced their anger in person at a convention in Florida, insisting the Epstein scandal “will not go away.” The DOJ concluded that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and maintains that no list exists naming the powerful individuals allegedly involved in his network of sexual abuse, Fox News reported on Sunday.
“.@realDonaldTrump please understand the EPSTEIN AFFAIR is not going away,” retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security advisor from his first administration, posted to X on Saturday. “If the administration doesn’t address the massive number of unanswered questions about Epstein, especially the ABUSE OF CHILDREN BY ELITES (it is very clear that abuse occurred), then moving forward on so many other monumental challenges our nation is facing becomes much harder.”
The announcement sparked internal tensions, with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino reportedly clashing with Attorney General Pam Bondi over what he described as a “lack of transparency,” even going so far as to threaten resignation, according to Fox News.
Epstein was a convicted sexual predator who pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring underage girls for prostitution. He was arrested again in 2019 on new federal charges of sex trafficking minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.
