Trump Criticizes Supporters Over Epstein Controversy Amid GOP Pressure for Document Release

President Donald Trump has accused some of his former supporters of being 'weaklings' who are falling for Democratic 'bullshit' about Jeffrey Epstein, the late sex offender. Trump stated that he no longer wants their support, indicating cracks in his coalition. Many are demanding more information about Epstein, who has been the subject of conspiracies since his death in 2019. Some Republicans are taking steps to force the Justice Department to release more documents.

Trump claimed that Democrats are using the Epstein scandal to attack him, calling it the 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.' He criticized his past supporters for believing in this 'bullshit' and diverting attention from the successes of his presidency. Trump expressed frustration with those who continue to focus on the Epstein issue.

Despite dismissing the controversy as uninteresting, Trump had not disavowed his allies pressing for more information until recently. House Speaker Mike Johnson and others have called for transparency in the matter. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is working to force a vote on releasing all Epstein-related documents, with support from Rep. Thomas Massie.

Conservative lawmakers are discussing how to press for more information without upsetting Trump. Calls for public testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell and appointing a special counsel have also been made. The pressure to release more information falls on Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has indicated that no Epstein client list exists.

Trump has supported Bondi's handling of the matter but has shown openness to more information being released. However, Bondi has rejected the possibility of releasing additional case files. The situation continues to evolve.
