Trump defends Bondi amid MAGA fallout over her handling of Epstein investigation

(CNN) President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Pam Bondi over the weekend amid criticism from some in his base over a memo about accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, writing on Truth Social that Bondi is doing “a FANTASTIC JOB” in her role.

“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!” Trump wrote Saturday. “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.”

Privately, Trump has also doubled down on his support for Bondi. The president called some of the attorney general’s most vocal critics over the weekend in an effort to stem the bleeding over the Epstein files, three sources familiar with the matter told CNN.

" ...a major clash between the FBI and the Department of Justice over the fallout from the release of the memo, which concluded there is no evidence Epstein kept a “client list” or was murdered. "

...how do you run a business without a 'client list'...?

Trump campaigned on the Epstein Files containing proof that the Dem elites are pedophiles and got the MAGA hordes in a froth. Kinda like Pizzagate morphed into a huge EPSTEIN FILES conspiracy. Trump promised he would deliver on the proof after he was in office. Now he’s boxed in because he is the star of the show in the Epstein Files. And as usual, he lets his sycophants take the heat for his non-stop fuck ups. Bondi just drew the straw and MAGA is gonna tear her apart. Trump is begging his maga orcs to lay off of Bondi to no avail. He created this Epstein monster and now it is going to bring his house down.
