It's so weird that now people care about Epstein.
Now? After you re-elected the guy who got convicted of rape after his first term?
Now you care?
Also, this is entirely of Trump's own making, as best I can tell.
Unless Sleepy Joe somehow set this up to happen... LOL

Trump Gets 'Ratioed' on Truth Social for First Time Amid Epstein Backlash
www.newsweek.com
... President Donald Trump's weekend post defending Attorney General Pam Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has triggered an unprecedented backlash, marking the first time the Republican has been "ratioed" on his own social media platform, Truth Social.
The term "ratioed" refers to when a social media post receives more replies than likes or shares, often signaling more disagreement or criticism than support.
In his Saturday evening post, Trump lashed out at those criticizing Bondi, calling her performance "FANTASTIC" and dismissing the ongoing interest in Epstein as a waste of time.
"We're on one Team, MAGA, and I don't like what's happening," the president wrote. "Let's not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about."
The post -- lengthy, defensive, and directed at his own base -- appears to have backfired.
According to public engagement data archived from Truth Social, the post has garnered more than 36,000 replies, compared with nearly 11,000 re-truths (the platform's term for shares) and 32,000 likes as of 10:45 a.m. ET Sunday.
Why It Matters
The backlash on Truth Social reflects growing internal division among MAGA supporters, many of whom have spent months anticipating revelations from the so-called "Epstein Files." ...

Jeffrey Epstein's brother laughs at 'stupid' FBI memo defending controversial suicide ruling: report
https://www.foxnews.com/us/jeffrey-epsteins-brother-laughs-stupid-fbi-memo-defending-controversial-
suicide-ruling-report
... Jeffrey Epstein's brother is ripping federal investigators as "stupid" for a recent memo stating no additional evidence would be released and that his brother's death in federal custody was indeed a suicide.
Mark Epstein, 70, has long disputed the official finding that his brother killed himself.
He told Fox News Digital that when he hounded New York officials for answers, they didn't even provide him with the 911 call reporting his brother's death at a federal jail in Manhattan.
He said his brother was looking forward to a bail hearing at the time of his death and that autopsy findings were inconsistent with suicide. ...
Senate committee unanimously approves amendment that would preserve Jeffrey Epstein files

So, will Pres Trump have certain files destroyed before that bill is passed and signed by him?
So, far, he seems to be happy with AG Bondi taking the flak for what he has likely told her to do and say.
"I know everyone thinks Trumpanzee is a pedophile... but I'm not so sure"
Trump doesn't have ready access to young children.
He does have access to teenagers and young adults.

Attorney: Epstein's black book and secret tapes hold powerful names
www.wpbf.com
... Victims' lawyer Spencer Kuvin says there's no "client list," but phone records and thousands of hours of surveillance video could expose high-profile men still shielded from public view.
As the administration insists there's nothing left to reveal in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, a Florida attorney who has represented Epstein's victims since 2007 says otherwise.
"I know firsthand they haven't disclosed everything," said Spencer Kuvin, Esq., Goldlaw's chief legal officer. "I can tell you that with 100 percent certainty that not everything has been disclosed."
Kuvin said there's no so-called "client list" of people who used Epstein to set up meetings with underage girls. But he says there was something else.
"So, is there a 'list' of these people? No, it doesn't exist. There's no list, but there's a phonebook," Kuvin said. "And Epstein knew who he knew, and so did (Ghislaine) Maxwell. So when these high-profile individuals would make the call because they happened to be in town for the winter and say, Hey, I need somebody today,' then Maxwell would round up the girls and send someone over."
Kuvin added that his clients shared names of some of those so-called customers " names that remain hidden because of attorney-client privilege and non-disclosure agreements signed as part of their settlements.
"I'm aware because of the work that I did on the cases of numerous high-profile individuals, which I am unfortunately not allowed to disclose, that exist that were utilizing the services of Epstein and Maxwell to obtain girls while they were on the island," he said.
Thousands of hours of videotapes unreleased
Kuvin said even more evidence remains unseen -- videotapes taken from multiple surveillance cameras inside Epstein's homes.
"There are thousands of hours of videotapes taken from inside the homes of Jeffrey Epstein that have, I have no doubt, video of people on them," Kuvin said. "People that have never been named before. Never identified before. Let's see the tapes." ...

What's going on with my "boys" and, in some cases, "gals?" 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. 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 ----," and more? They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me, and now my so-called "friends" are playing right into their hands. Why didn't these Radical Left Lunatics release the Epstein Files? If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn't they use it? They haven't even given up on the John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, Jr. Files. No matter how much success we have had, securing the Border, deporting Criminals, fixing the Economy, Energy Dominance, a Safer World where Iran will not have Nuclear Weapons, it's never enough for some people. We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years, and we have so much more to do. We are saving our Country and, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, which will continue to be our complete PRIORITY. The Left is imploding! Kash Patel, and the FBI, must be focused on investigating Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020, and arresting Thugs and Criminals, instead of spending month after month looking at nothing but the same old, Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein. LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB " SHE'S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 " That's what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it's the "HOTTEST" Country anywhere in the World. Let's keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
I want to believe you're smarter than that....

Trump was reelected with help from podcasters like Joe Rogan. Is he losing their support over Epstein and Iran?
abcnews.go.com
... President Donald Trump is facing mounting backlash from his MAGA base over his administration's handling of the Epstein files and its deepening involvement in the Iran-Israel conflict -- and the splintering is especially evident among many of the podcasters and comedians who helped propel his return to power last year.
During his 2024 campaign, Trump embraced podcasts as a key media strategy to reach audiences beyond traditional outlets, and made high-profile campaign appearances on podcasts hosted by comedians like Joe Rogan, Andrew Schulz, and Theo Von.
Now, just over six months into his presidency, many of those same hosts are using their shows to publicly break with the president over campaign promises they say he's gone back on -- particularly his backing off on releasing files connected to convicted sex offender Jeffery Epstein and his pledge to avoid new foreign entanglements. ...

Pam Bondi dodges questions on Epstein and Bongino amid Justice Department turmoil
apnews.com
... Attorney General Pam Bondi suggested Tuesday that she has no plans to step down as she dodged questions about Jeffrey Epstein and her clash with a top FBI official, seeking to press ahead with a business-as-usual approach in the face of right-wing turmoil.
Pressed by reporters during an announcement touting drug seizures, Bondi sidestepped questions about the fallout of the Trump administration's decision not to release more records related to the wealthy financier's sex trafficking investigation. With some high profile-members of President Donald Trump's base calling for her resignation, Bondi made clear she intends to remain attorney general.
"I'm going to be here for as long as the president wants me here," Bondi said. "And I believe he's made that crystal clear."
The announcement at the Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters represents an effort by Bondi to turn the page on the Epstein controversy and show that the Justice Department is forging ahead after days of mounting conservative criticism over the administration's failure to deliver long-sought government secrets about Epstein. Bondi highlighted recent operations that led to the seizure of methamphetamine and fentanyl, including drugs that were hidden in a shipment of cucumbers across the Mexican border. ...
