'Holy smokes!' Trump's new Epstein claim fuels rumors of president's involvement
Donald Trump's new claim about Jeffrey Epstein's criminal files has observers wondering if the president is indeed somehow connected to the documents.
Trump unloaded on his own fans on Saturday, begging them to leave his attorney general alone and stop blaming her for a botched release of the Epstein records. MAGA threw a fit because the information didn't back up right-wing conspiracy theories, and Trump blamed Obama and Biden for whatever may be in them.
"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," the president wrote. "For years, it’s Epstein, over and over again. Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 'Intelligence' Agents, 'THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,' and more?"
