• A joint DOJ–FBI memo reaffirmed that no “client list” of high-profile individuals existed and found no evidence Epstein blackmailed anyone.
  • MAGA hardliners (e.g., Alex Jones) and some Trump allies lash out at AG Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, demanding disclosures.
  • President Trump urged supporters to stop attacking his team over “Epstein Files,” calling Epstein “somebody nobody cares about” and insisting his administration is “PERFECT.”
  • Internal friction reportedly flared between Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino (who threatened to quit) and Bondi, though Trump insists DOJ/FBI are united.
  • Trump wants the FBI to refocus on his unproven 2020 election–fraud claims rather than “the same old…documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

    Love that as soon as his name got attached to Epstein, that he’s shifted to damage control and trying to push this narrative that it’s been a “radical Left” issue this whole time. And trying to get all his conspiracy people to move on to an election that at this point doesn’t matter either way is just full panic.

    They filled lawsuits all over the country that they had to withdraw because they had no evidence, yet continue to claim to be ready to release all the “evidence” they have anytime now for years. I think even his Supreme Court is going to find it hard to invent constitution law to back up their conspiracy theories. I would love to see them try though, make it televised, since they are just pissing away tax dollars anyway.

      I just want to see reporters hound him with questions beginning with, “So when you raped those kids…”

      They don’t need to invent law and Roberts et al know it. See, the thing about being on the Supreme Court is that aside from Congress impeaching you, there is no other recourse. Your entire decision could be written as “lol no” and unless Congress decides to impeach you, there’s nothing anyone can do about the decision.
