On Saturday, President Donald Trump expressed his support for beleaguered members of his administration in a detailed post on Truth Social, urging the nation to shift its focus away from the late financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
This post from Trump follows reports indicating that his attorney general, Pam Bondi, along with top FBI officials, Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino, were at odds over a memo issued last week by the Justice Department. The memo stated that there is no so-called ‘Epstein list,’ no conspiracy related to his suicide while in custody, and that no additional information regarding the case will be released.
Multiple reports suggested that Bongino was frustrated by this announcement and effectively presented the administration with an ultimatum: either Bondi resigns, or he would leave his position. Since these initial reports surfaced, Bongino has not publicly commented on the matter, although both Patel and Bondi have publicly affirmed their intention to remain in their roles.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with the current situation and implied that the conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein were fabricated by some of the same individuals who orchestrated the ‘Russian collusion’ hoax prior to his first term. He also expressed strong support for Bondi, mentioning Patel by name, but did not reference Bongino.
He stated:
What is happening with my “boys” and, in certain instances, “gals?” They are all targeting Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is performing an EXCELLENT JOB! We are united as one Team, MAGA, and I disapprove of the current situation. We possess a FLAWLESS Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and “self-serving individuals” are attempting to undermine it, all due to a man who seems immortal, Jeffrey Epstein. For years, it has been Epstein, time and again. Why are we granting attention to documents authored by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who deceived the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 “Intelligence” Agents, “THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,” and more? They fabricated the Epstein Files, just as they concocted the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that was utilized against me, and now my so-called “friends” are unwittingly cooperating with their agenda.
Why did these Radical Left Lunatics not disclose the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING within those files that could have jeopardized the MAGA Movement, why did they not exploit it? They have not even relinquished the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. Regardless of the significant progress we have made in securing the Border, deporting Criminals, revitalizing the Economy, achieving Energy Dominance, and fostering a Safer World where Iran will not possess Nuclear Weapons, it is never sufficient for some individuals.
We are on the verge of accomplishing more in 6 months than any other Administration has in over a century, and we have much more to accomplish. We are safeguarding our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will remain our utmost PRIORITY. The Left is collapsing! Kash Patel, along with the FBI, must concentrate on probing Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and apprehending Thugs and Criminals, rather than spending month after month scrutinizing nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein.
ALLOW PAM BONDI TO PERFORM HER DUTIES — SHE IS EXCELLENT! The 2020 Election was manipulated and taken away, and they attempted to replicate the same in 2024 — This is what she is investigating as Attorney General, among other matters. A year ago, our Nation was in a dire state, but now it is the “MOST DESIRABLE” Country in the World. Let us maintain this status and refrain from expending Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, an individual of little concern to anyone. I appreciate your attention to this issue!
Patel remarked on his personal X account on Saturday: “The conspiracy theories are simply false, and they always have been. It is a privilege to serve the President of the United States @realDonaldTrump — and I will continue to do so for as long as he requests my assistance.”
