US EditionTrump calls Republicans who have fallen for Epstein ‘hoax’ ‘stupid’
UNITED STATES, JUL 21 – Trump calls the renewed focus on Epstein files a Democrat-driven hoax and accuses some Republicans of being duped while defending Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the case.
- During a Tuesday appearance at Joint Base Andrews, Trump told reporters `those seeking Epstein files are pretty bad people`, and in an Oval Office appearance Wednesday, he declared he's done with the story.
- Last week, the Justice Department and the FBI denied the existence of an Epstein client list and stated no more files would be made public, despite promises from Pam Bondi, prompting skepticism among conservatives.
- In a new CNN/SSRS poll, only 3 percent of Americans are satisfied with the Epstein files transparency, Trump said, highlighting deep public distrust.
- Some pro-Trump podcasters said Wednesday they were disappointed or puzzled by his comments, while supporters responded with frustration and disillusionment.
- Speaker Mike Johnson and other Republicans this week, Joe Rogan launched a scathing attack on Trump over the Epstein files, and Trump’s supporters continue demanding answers.

The pressure on Donald Trump is growing around the Epstein case. MAGA supporters also demand transparency. The US President rules with attacks.

MAGA is currently in shock. For almost a decade they’ve been Donald Trump‘s ultra-loyal foot soldiers, cheering on his every pronouncement and action. In return, Trump gave them regular rallies and at least tried to live up to the pugilistic anti-establishment image they saw in him.
