Description
President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he attempts to silence criticism over his administration’s handling of the much-hyped records related to Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.
The Justice Department and the FBI maintain that Epstein did not keep a “client list” and that no additional files related to the investigation will be made public — despite earlier promises from Attorney General Pam Bondi that had raised expectations among conservative influencers and conspiracy theorists.
House representatives are reacting to the FBI and DOJ's decision not to release more information about the Epstein investigation.
“If there’s information showing that all the content was fabricated—like the so-called Russian hoax and that kind of stuff—then show us. Release that content,” said Rep. Eric Burlison.
President Trump told reporters Wednesday that “it’s all been a big hoax,” which, in his words, has been “perpetrated by the Democrats.” He added that “some stupid Republicans and foolish Republicans” have also “fallen into the net.”
Rep. Troy Nehls commented, “We are winning. We are winning on every front. And everybody wants to talk about Epstein. Forget about it. When I think about Epstein, I think about Welcome Back, Kotter and Juan.”
