President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.

Trump wants the MAGA uproar over his pal Jeffrey Epstein to go away & POTUS just pink slipped the prosecutor who helped put the pedophile billionaire away & went after Diddy

The latest Quinnipiac University poll found that 63% of voters disapprove of how Trump officials have handled Epstein’s sex trafficking case while just 17% said they approve. This comes about a week after the Justice Department released a memo that concluded Epstein kept no “client list” and that he committed suicide in his jail cell in 2019.

For years, President Donald Trump and his Republican allies benefited from conspiracy theories that fueled the conservative MAGA movement and targeted his political enemies.

Here is a timeline of Epstein and Trump’s relationship. Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s. “Terrific guy,” Trump said in the 2002 interview.

On podcaster Benny Johnson’s show in 2023, Patel suggested that the FBI was withholding the client list because it contained the names of prominent figures. “Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are,” Patel shouted at congressional Republicans.

Democrats are pressuring Trump officials to release long-promised Epstein files, while Trump says the files were "made up" by his rivals.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”
