President Trump dismissed concerns over the Epstein case, defended Pam Bondi, and said, “Don’t waste time on Jeffrey Epstein—nobody cares about him.”

In a recent social media post, former President Donald Trump has come to the defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging his supporters to focus on other issues rather than the ongoing Jeffrey Epstein case. Trump's comments follow a series of criticisms from MAGA conservatives over the Justice Department's handling of the Epstein files.

Trump took to Truth Social on July 12 to express his support for Bondi, stating that she is doing a "FANTASTIC JOB" and that his administration is "one Team." He accused "selfish people" of trying to harm the administration by focusing on Epstein, whom he described as someone "that nobody cares about." Trump also suggested that the Epstein files could have been written by political opponents, comparing them to the Hillary Clinton dossier [1].

The Epstein case has been a contentious issue, with Epstein's death in 2019 sparking numerous conspiracy theories. Trump's comments come amidst growing pressure from MAGA supporters for the release of Epstein's client list. The Justice Department and FBI have stated that a "systematic review" of documents related to Epstein revealed no incriminating client list [2].

Trump's stance on the Epstein case is part of a broader effort to shift the focus away from the controversial financier and onto other issues. He has called for an investigation into the 2020 election and has urged his supporters to focus on voter fraud and other "red meat" issues [3].

In his post, Trump also addressed FBI Director Kash Patel, telling him to focus on these other priorities rather than spending time on the Epstein case. Patel has been a vocal advocate for the release of the Epstein files, and his stance has been a source of tension within the Trump administration.

The Epstein case has been a divisive issue within the MAGA movement, with some supporters calling for the release of the files and others accusing the administration of a cover-up. Trump's comments may be seen as an attempt to unify his base by shifting the focus away from Epstein and onto other issues.
