President Trump expressed bewilderment at interest in the Jeffrey Epstein case as MAGA voices press for the full release of more files.

Trump’s problem is the nothing-to-see-here approach doesn’t work for those who’ve learned from him they must not give up until the government’s secrets are exposed.

President Donald Trump says Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on Jeffrey Epstein.

By Nandita Bose WASHINGTON (Reuters) -For years, President Donald Trump and his Republican allies benefited from conspiracy theories that fueled the conservative MAGA movement and targeted his political enemies.

White House officials were left scrambling after a reporter straight-up asked whether Donald Trump knew if his name appeared in files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, according to Axios. The media inquiry was posed after reports that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino had a screaming match with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the Department of Justice’s handling of the files on the pedophile who died in 2019.

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

The post comes after Trump said on Tuesday that Attorney General Pam Bondi should release “whatever she thinks is credible” on Epstein. When asked by a reporter, Bondi said that “Our memo speaks for itself, and we’ll get back to you on anything else. I haven’t seen all of his statements.”

Republicans in the Senate advanced Trump's request for $9.4 billion in cuts to previously approved funding for foreign aid and public broadcasting. The procedural vote passed 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie.
