Trump tries to blame others as tensions rise around handling of Epstein case

UNITED STATES, JUL 17 – Trump shifts blame for Epstein case files to Democrats amid growing MAGA movement division and dissatisfaction with the Justice Department's handling and transparency, sources say.

  • In a blistering social media post Wednesday morning, Trump attacked his supporters and claimed `these files were made by Comi`, escalating tensions over Epstein case handling.
  • Many MAGA supporters have grown frustrated, with sources close to the situation stating Dan Bongino and Kash Patel are livid over how Bondi handled the rollout.
  • Blaming former presidents and an ex-FBI director, Trump said `these files were made by Comi`; he provided no evidence of tampering claims.
  • However, most did not shift blame to Democrats, creating divisions that threaten Trump, his base, and senior FBI officials.
  • Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie plan to back legislation demanding the files’ release, with Greene stating `I will never protect pedophiles` to address the controversy.
