Charlie Kirk: On Epstein, ‘I’m Going to Trust My Friends in the Administration’

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Charlie Kirk halted Epstein criticism after a call from President Trump, citing trust in Trump allies and framing Democratic extremism as a chance for conservatives to gain support.

  • Charlie Kirk, a MAGA influencer and Turning Point USA founder, announced on Monday that he is done talking about Jeffrey Epstein for the time being.
  • Kirk decided to stop discussing Epstein after President Donald Trump contacted him following Kirk’s weekend conference, during which Epstein was a major topic and the administration faced criticism.
  • During the conference, participants showed strong support for FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino while expressing disapproval of Attorney General Pam Bondi, with speakers criticizing the administration’s management of the Epstein case and accusing the Biden administration of attempting to conceal information.
  • Kirk expressed that he would rely on his allies within the administration to handle the situation and cautioned that Trump might lose between 10 and 15 percent of his supporters if the full truth about Epstein were not uncovered.
  • Kirk's withdrawal suggests a temporary lull in public MAGA criticism over Epstein, reflecting Trump's orders to move on and trust allies like Bondi, Bongino, and Patel to resolve the issue.
