USA Bondi Holds Firm: No Change on Epstein Files Despite Trump’s Nod

Attorney General Pam Bondi remains steadfast, refusing to release additional files on Jeffrey Epstein, despite comments from President Donald Trump suggesting otherwise.

 

Bondi, at a press conference on Tuesday, affirmed that a recent memo adequately addressed the issue, nixing further disclosure for now.

 

The President supported Bondi at the White House, acknowledging her handling of the Epstein case while endorsing calls for more transparency. Trump mentioned the importance of credibility and stated, “The attorney general has handled that very well,” aligning his stance with Bondi's current position.

 

Bondi’s remarks came during a Drug Enforcement Agency event, spotlighting recent methamphetamine seizures, with a significant 64,000 pounds confiscated since January. Despite the emphasis on tackling drug crimes, media attention fixated on the Epstein controversy.

 

Sources indicate that Bondi’s department is aiming to pivot focus onto other pressing issues like drug enforcement, potentially mitigating backlash among Trump’s supporters. The strategy involves positioning Bondi prominently in discussions unrelated to Epstein.

 

At the event, Bondi sidestepped questions regarding her ties with FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Instead, she emphasised teamwork in achieving Trump administration goals, underlining her commitment to the role as long as Trump desires.

 

In response to questions about Deputy Director Bongino, Trump expressed a positive opinion but did not explain the reported tensions with Bondi. The situation suggests internal dynamics may continue without public clarification.

 

In summary, Bondi maintains her position on the Epstein files, while the administration seeks to redirect public discourse towards drug enforcement victories. Trump’s support remains consistent, reinforcing Bondi’s stance amid ongoing scrutiny.

This is becoming the entertainment event of the year so far. Trump is turning on his base who are simply inquiring minds, asking questions. That kind of behavior is strictly forbidden within MAGA, it would seem. Be obedient! 

 

Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull——,” hook, line, and sinker,” Trump wrote Wednesday on his Truth Social site, using an expletive in his post. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

 

Trump distanced himself from those who have criticized him, calling them “PAST supporters” who had “bought into this ‘bull<deleted>,’ hook, line, and sinker.”

 

“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” he wrote, “don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

 

In doing so, Mr. Trump turned to an old playbook: attempting to reframe politically unfavorable issues as the work of Democrats and his political opponents.

 

But the discontent over the Trump administration’s handling of the so-called Epstein files has stemmed from the right, and Democrats merely joined the fray after seeing a splintering of Mr. Trump’s MAGA supporters, many of whom feel betrayed.

 

Far-right conspiracy theorist and podcaster Alex Jones called Trump’s handling of the Epstein situation “the biggest train wreck I’ve ever seen.”

"It’s not in character for you to be acting like this,” he said in a video reacting to Trump on Tuesday evening calling the case boring. “I support you, but we built the movement you rode in on. You’re not the movement. You just surfed in on it.”

 

His problem? That nothing-to-see-here approach doesn’t work for those who’ve learned from him they must not give up until the government’s deepest, darkest secrets are exposed.

 

Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI abruptly walked back the notion there’s an Epstein client list of elites who participated in the wealthy New York financier’s trafficking of underage girls. Trump quickly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi and chided a reporter for daring to ask about the documents.

 

“I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.” he said.

The post also highlights Mr. Trump’s longstanding belief that he can convince his followers of nearly anything without losing their support.

A "nod" or a "suggestive comment" is not a directive.

Hopefully  this will be the scumbags undoing. You can fool some of the people some of the time, cannot fool everyone forever.. Karma hopefuly will get Trump in the end.

Agreed... ASAP.

The only reason for witholding these files is to protect prominent individuals and Epstein's probable connection to Mossad.

It sure looks like Bondi is bought and paid for.

I would think that Bondi and Patel, at the very least, will be called to testify before Congress soon.

The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at - It’s all they have - They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bull<deleted>,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Or in fact anything which takes the heat of Mr Trump.

 

I wonder if he will be able to wriggle free of this particular hook?

[248900_1469958220]

This crosses all party lines. They are ALL scumbags....It doesnt look good for Trump. If this ends him, the so be it. This whole situation is not just a storm in a teacup as he and his cronies are now trying to make out. I supported the platfrom he 'seemed' to have at the start...but this has crossed the line. Biden, the blithering idiot, the Clintons with their body count....Trump....this cuts across all lines.

Talk is cheap. GOP claimed that Trump has absolute power over prosecutorial decision. What stopping him to instruct Bondi to release?

Case 1:16-cv-04642-RA Document 1-2 Filed 06/20/16 Page 2 of 2

1. I personally witnessed the one occasion where Mr. Trump forced the Plaintiff and a 12-year-old female named Maria to perform oral sex on Mr. Trump and witnessed his physical abuse of both minors when they finished the act.
2. I personally witnessed or was made immediately aware of the two occasions where my boss Mr. Epstein attempted to rape and sodomize the Plaintiff. I personally witnessed Mr. Epstein sexually and physically abuse other minor females even younger than her.
3. It was my job to personally witness and supervise encounters between the underage girls that Mr. Epstein hired and his guests.
4. I personally witnessed Mr. Trump physically threaten the life and well-being of the Plaintiff if she ever revealed any details of the physical and sexual abuse suffered by her at the hands of Mr. Trump.
5. I personally witnessed Mr. Epstein physically threaten the life and well-being of the Plaintiff if she ever revealed the details of the physical and sexual abuse she suffered at the hands of Mr. Epstein or any of his guests.
6. I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn’t ever say anything if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year-old female Maria, and that he was capable of having her whole family killed.
7. After leaving the employment of Mr. Epstein in the year 2000, I was personally threatened by Mr. Epstein that I would be killed and my family killed as well if I ever disclosed any of the physical and sexual abuse of minor females that I had personally witnessed by Mr. Epstein or any of his guests.
8. I am coming forward to swear to the truthfulness of the physical and sexual abuse that I personally witnessed of minor females at the hands of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein, including the Plaintiff, during the time of my employment from the years of 1990–2000 for Mr. Epstein. I swear to these facts under penalty of perjury even though I fully understand that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.
