  • Trump publicly criticized media questions on Epstein as distractions and defended Attorney General Pam Bondi despite her contradictory claims about possessing Epstein files.
  • The situation suggests ongoing conspiracy tensions may weaken Trump's support and create political challenges within the MAGA base.
