The Epstein controversy continues to divide the MAGA movement
Late Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump put out a lengthy post on Truth Social that told some in the MAGA world to stop criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi and to essentially move on from the whole Jeffrey Epstein controversy.
Trump started by writing, “What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals?’ They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein.”
