After years of peddling conspiracy theories about the Jeffrey Epstein files, President Donald Trump is now attempting to shift focus away from the case and his relationship with the convicted sex offender.
The Trump administration continues to face backlash after a Department of Justice and FBI memo released last week stated that there was no evidence that the disgraced financier, who socialised with royalty and celebrities and was accused of running a large network of underage girls for sex, had a “client list.”
Trump has since accused his Democratic predecessors and officials from prior administrations of fabricating documents related to the case.
Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel and his deputy, Dan Bongino, have privately expressed frustration with the DOJ’s handling of the case, sources told CNN.
On Wednesday, Trump even turned on his MAGA base, branding his “PAST” supporters “weaklings” for buying into what he called the Democrats’ “bulls***” narrative.

The renewed focus on Epstein stems, in part, from Attorney General Pam Bondi’s promise earlier this year that the public would receive “the full” unredacted files after the highly anticipated “first phase” release in February.
The nation’s top law enforcement officer publicly released about 200 pages of files, including a series of flight logs from Epstein’s private jet, a partly redacted “contacts list,” and a fully blacked-out list of “masseuses.”
MAGA fumed when the files contained no major new allegations about the convicted sex offender or his associates.
Much of the material released earlier this year was previously published during the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s girlfriend and close confidant, two years after the disgraced financier died by suicide in a Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on new charges of trafficking teenage girls.
Over the years, thousands of pages of records have been released through lawsuits, Epstein’s criminal dockets, public disclosures, and Freedom of Information Act requests.
In January 2024, a court unsealed nearly 1,000 pages of documents collected as evidence in a lawsuit filed by Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre, who died by suicide on April 26 at her home in Neergabby, Australia, against Maxwell.

Among more than 100 people mentioned in those documents were Trump, Prince Andrew, and former President Bill Clinton.
Being named in these documents does not indicate any wrongdoing related to Epstein or anyone else. The list includes many of Epstein’s accusers and alleged victims, as well as people with only tangential connections to Epstein who were pulled into the lawsuit against Maxwell
