The US president has slammed his supporters who have been left unconvinced by the DOJ’s recent report that says no list of clients was found
camp within the Republican Party who have called into question a recent report by the Department of Justice and the FBI on the case of late financier Jeffrey Epstein. The authorities stated that no list of high-profile clients of the infamous sex ring exists, contrary to narratives Trump himself had previously peddled.
Not long after his arrest in 2019, Epstein was found hanged in his New York jail cell. Skeptics have claimed he was murdered to cover up the powerful individuals supposedly implicated in the case.
In a post on his Truth Social platform on Wednesday, Trump wrote: “Let those weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work,” apparently referring to skeptics within the GOP, adding that he does not “want their support anymore.”
In a previous post on Saturday, he claimed that the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” had been fabricated by the Democrats, lamenting that his “PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bulls—,’ hook, line, and sinker.”
Last week, the DOJ released a memo saying that there is no evidence of an “incriminating client list.” Meanwhile, back in February, Attorney General Pam Bondi told Fox News that she had it “sitting on [her] desk.”
The DOJ also released surveillance footage from the prison where Epstein was held that presumably proves there was no foul play in his death. The footage, however, only shows a partial view of a stairwell, rather than the cell itself, and contains a minute-long gap.
The memo has unleashed a wave of backlash among conservative lawmakers and prominent commentators that has not subsided to date.
Elon Musk responded by posting on X an image labeled “The Official Jeffrey Epstein Pedophile Arrest Counter,” set at zero.
The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, urged Bondi to “come forward and explain” her apparent contradictions on the case.
Trump’s former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, warned that the rift within the GOP could cost it 40 House seats in the 2026 midterm elections, and potentially the presidency in four years’ time.
