President Donald Trump's most ardent MAGA supporters are enraged over his administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Tonight,
growing fallout over the Trump administration effectively closing the case of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
There has been a tremendous backlash among some of the president's MAGA supporters about the DOJ's decision not to release the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Epstein was a well-connected financial tycoon.
He was charged with child sex trafficking back in 2019.
He then died by suicide in jail before his trial.
The circumstances of his death and crimes spurred fringe conspiracy theories,
mostly on the far right.
Some believe Epstein was actually murdered as part of a cover-up.
They also accused the so-called deep state of hiding information about Epstein's rich and powerful friends,
who they say may have also had sex with minors.
Trump did nothing to tamp down the far-right's Epstein fixation during his reelection campaign.
He even hinted he might release secret government documents that his supporters hoped would validate their conspiracy theories.
But recently, his Justice Department said there's nothing more to reveal.
Trump now wants his base to move on.
At a cabinet meeting last week, he said this to reporters.
— Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
This guy's been talked about for years.
Are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
