President Donald Trump is facing backlash from within his own MAGA base over the Justice Department’s decision to close the Epstein case without releasing a client list or further evidence. The move has sparked outrage among conservative influencers, conspiracy theorists, and former allies, threatening to fracture the movement that helped propel Trump back into office.
What to Know:
- DOJ memo on July 7 said Epstein had no client list and died by suicide.
- Alex Jones recently called the memo “sickening” and said it “tears my guts out.”
- Trump urged supporters to stop attacking AG Pam Bondi, calling her “fantastic.”
- Bondi previously said the client list was “on her desk” and referenced thousands of videos.
- Influencers received “Epstein Files” binders in February, which contained little new info.
- Trump now says Epstein is “somebody that nobody cares about” and wants to focus on other matters.
- Alex Jones warned Trump in a video posted on X at midnight: “You work for us.”
- “You need to understand something. It is the American people that have created the plan to restore the American republic. It is populism. Politics is downstream from the grassroots. And you work for us.”
