Organized by Epstein's spiritual shadow, Trump assails Democrats and his backers
### Title: Political Tensions Mount Over Trump's Response to Jeffrey Epstein Files Release
In the ongoing saga surrounding the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump finds himself at the centre of renewed scrutiny as calls for the release of related files continue to mount. The pressure has come from both political sides, with Trump's 2024 supporters and Democrats alike demanding transparency.
Despite the clamour, Trump has been reluctant, often dismissing the issue as a hoax or an overblown topic. In a recent Cabinet meeting, when asked about the Epstein files, Trump responded, "This guy's been talked about for years. You're asking. We have Texas, we have this. We have all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable."
A poll conducted by Quinnipiac University revealed that 83% of Trump's 2024 supporters want the files released, but Trump has referred to those pressing for the release as 'weaklings' and 'foolish.' His name appears in the Epstein files, including flight logs and Epstein's "black book" of contacts, though Trump has claimed a falling out with Epstein years ago.
The Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case has been met with disapproval from a majority of American voters, with 63% disapproving, according to a national survey published by Quinnipiac University. Trump's Attorney General, Pam Bondi, was free to make public any "credible" document regarding Epstein, but the administration's approach has faced strong dissent within its own ranks.
Trump's former ally, the FBI's Deputy Director, Dan Bongino, is in conflict with Bondi over her handling of the Epstein case. Bongino is reportedly considering resigning due to Bondi's approach, according to sources close to the matter.
Elon Musk, the tech entrepreneur, has claimed that Trump is mentioned in FBI documents related to Epstein, but no specific details regarding Musk's claim have been made public. The U.S. Department of Justice published a report claiming that Epstein never kept "client lists."
Trump's denials and dismissals have not gone unchallenged. Among Republicans, support for Trump on this issue stands at 40%, with a significant part of the far right and MAGA movement accusing Trump of concealing the truth or protecting influential figures regarding Epstein.
Trump dismissed the demand as a "Democratic hoax" and accused Republicans who support it of playing into the Democrats' hands. However, his response has not quelled the calls for transparency, with several Trump supporters hoping to get answers about Epstein with Trump's return to power.
Despite Trump's claims of achieving more success in six months than any other president in the history of the country, the Epstein case remains a lingering issue that continues to cast a shadow over his political career. The case serves as a reminder of the public's demand for accountability and transparency, particularly in matters of national importance.
