Prominent MAGA voices have called for the attorney general’s firing amid attack over the Epstein investigation.

Trump's followers on Truth Social were not having it and accused the president of "gaslighting" and insisted his argument is "not holding water."

Trump's stunning rebuke of his own base for their continued focus on the Jeffrey Epstein story has not been well received by many prominent MAGA influencers.

We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and 'selfish people' are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein," Trump wrote on July 12 in a lengthy post on Truth Social.

During his remarks, Trump asked Bondi if she felt like answering the reporter's question. "I don't mind answering," the attorney general replied. When the president finished speaking, Bondi addressed the reporter and cited an interview she did with Fox News in February, which she said had "been getting a lot of attention."

The Epstein affair had the hallmarks of a conspiracy theory. He was a rich financier with a Jewish surname and powerful acquaintances, including Bill Clinton, a former president, and Prince Andrew, a British royal.

Attorney Spencer Kuvin, who represents one of Epstein’s victims, shared: "We certainly knew that Mr. Trump was a close friend of Mr. Epstein during those exact years that Mr. Epstein was molesting these young girls. "These are two gentlemen that definitely ran in the same circles."

Historian Richard Hofstadter was a pioneer observer of what he called “The Paranoid Style in American Politics,” which he described in a 1964 Harper’s Magazine analysis of the use of loose facts and pseudo-facts to build an alternative reality for political ends.
