A FURIOUS Donald Trump has lashed out at the “bulls**t Epstein murder hoax” – and is even more enraged by his own supporters falling for it.
The President criticized “radical left Democrats,” accusing them of spreading conspiracy theories related to Epstein’s death and the alleged “client list.”
In a scathing ramble on Truth Social, Trump said: “The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again!”
He blamed the Democrats, and specifically Hunter Biden, for a range of conspiracy theories – including the Steele Dossier and the “Laptop from Hell”.
And said his past MAGA supporters “bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker”.
Expressing his irritation over the ongoing interest in the Epstein files, he declared, “All they want to focus on, driven by the Fake News and the desperate Democrats, is the so-called Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
The US Department of Justice (DoJ) and FBI’s decision to close the Epstein inquiry has sparked fury among Trump’s base.
His MAGA camp has been left divided over a lack of clarity regarding the release of the hyped files in Epstein’s sex trafficking investigation.
Many of his key allies are now breaking ranks to come out and demand a full release of the documents.
US House Speaker Mike Johnson, a top Republican, said he supported the release of the files.
During an interview on a podcast with Benny Johnson, the Republican remarked, “It’s a highly sensitive topic, yet we should disclose everything and allow the public to make their own judgments.”
“I’m for transparency,” he added.
Lauren Boebert, another conservative Republican said a special counsel should be appointed to investigate the financier’s crimes if more Epstein files were not released.
And Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana said the voters expect more accountability.
Even Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, a Fox News host, has called for “more transparency” from the administration.
Trump and senior aides have also reached out to key MAGA-aligned influencers, urging them to dial down their criticism of the administration’s handling of the Epstein investigation, according to one source.
Critics allege that the files about the paedophile’s crimes have been withheld to protect big names.
The DoJ last week announced that Epstein died by suicide – although conspiracy theories are to the contrary.
They added that there was no “incriminating client list” to be revealed to the public – and no further revelations would be made regarding the case.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi had suggested in February that Epstein’s supposed client list was sitting on her desk waiting for review.
Though last week she appeared to suggest she’d been referring generally to the Epstein case file, not a client list.
Bondi said: “I did an interview on Fox, and it’s been getting a lot of attention because I said I was asked a question about the client list, and my response was, it’s sitting on my desk to be reviewed.
“Meaning the file, along with the JFK, MLK files as well. That’s what I meant by that.”
Meanwhile, Trump insisted the much-hyped documents are “pretty boring” amid a slew of conspiracies surrounding the death of Epstein – and his so-called client list.
Last night, Trump said the DoJ should release all “credible” information from its probe into the notorious sex criminal.
Though he repeated his claim that the so-called Epstein files were “made up” by his Democratic predecessors in the White House – even though he said multiple times during the election campaign that he would “probably” release them.
He told reporters in the White House: “I don’t understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody.
“It’s pretty boring stuff.”
THE ‘EPSTEIN FILES’
One key theory centres on a rumoured client list of individuals who committed sex offences alongside Epstein.
The Trump administration has insisted that no such list exists.
Trump was himself dragged into the conspiracy theories after his former advisor Elon Musk claimed in June — in a now-deleted X post — that Trump was “in the Epstein files”.
His administration’s efforts to appease demands for a full disclosure of the files have largely fallen short.
A bundle released in February that promised to shed light on the Epstein case contained little new information.
Sceptics also allege suspicious circumstances in Epstein’s death, such as the security cameras around his cell apparently malfunctioning on the night he died, alongside other irregularities.
An almost 11-hour video published this month to dispel theories that Epstein was murdered fell flat.
The camera angle showed a section of the New York prison on the night Epstein died – but appeared to be missing a minute of footage, fueling more speculation online.
Bondi explained that the lost minute in the footage – which occurs at 11.59pm – was due to the prison’s outdated system.
The missing minute happens at 11.59pm – with the time switching from 11.58.59pm to midnight.
Bondi said: “There was a minute that was off the counter, and what we learned from the Bureau of Prisons is every night they redo that video… every night should have the same minute missing.”
A memo from the Justice Department and FBI last week saying the Epstein files did not contain evidence that would justify further investigation was met by calls for the heads of each agency to resign.
