Since this was filed, Charlie Kirk has abandoned his pledge to stop talking about Epstein and has returned to the topic. It is further proof that MAGA influencers are torn between their love of conspiracy theories and their desire to cover for Trump.

With the Epstein Files and MAGA world rift dominating the news cycle, Trump took to Truth Social, writing a lengthy post tying the scandal to a multitude of past “scams and hoaxes,” pushed by the “Radical Left Democrats.”

Some of the most influential voices in right-wing media are rejecting Trump’s call to stop wasting “time and energy on Jeffrey Epstein.”

Trump’s most vocal supporters are furious that his administration isn’t releasing the late sex offender’s alleged client list.

The congresswoman from North Carolina led a vote Monday night on whether the Trump administration should release the files on Jeffrey Epstein.

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed to possess Jeffrey Epstein's "client list," sparking controversy and conspiracy theories. The DOJ and FBI refuted the existence of such a list after an exhaustive investigation. The White House deflected questions about Bondi's claims, referring inquiries back to her.

The Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case appears to constitute the rare controversy in which there are no innocuous explanations for what has unfolded. The possibilities range from bad to worse for everyone involved.

Conservative commentator Tucker Carlson openly claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was working for the Israeli intelligence services as he addressed a Turning Point USA event Friday. This is a much-discussed conspiracy theory which has now found its way to the mainstream after the Donald Trump administration closed the Epstein case.

Tucker Carlson isn’t buying the Department of Justice’s insistence that there’s nothing buried in its files on Jeffrey Epstein—and suggested a far more nefarious cover-up that explains its claims. Carlson said on his podcast Tuesday that it was “obvious” Attorney General Pam Bondi was “covering up crimes” by not disclosing the fabled “client list” Bondi said in February was sitting on her desk.

And, the story goes, the investigation that determined Epstein committed suicide was not an investigation at all, but a cover-up by President Joe Biden's Justice Department for the same nefarious purpose.
