President Donald Trump’s adviser-turned-foe Elon Musk demanded that the Trump administration release the so-called Epstein client list related to the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s base has been outraged for several days over dissatisfaction with Attorney General Pam Bondi,

Donald Trump's Truth Social post defending Pam Bondi has seen more than 36,000 replies so far, many from people unhappy with the president's remarks.

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.

Trump defended Bondi in a social media post Saturday as leadership at the Justice Department and the FBI face turmoil over its handling of the Epstein probe. Trump praised Bondi for doing a "fantastic job" and urged his "boys" and "gals" to stop criticizing her.

The billionaire responded to Trump's Truth Social post defending U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who has faced backlash from the MAGA movement over her handling of the Epstein files.

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."

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

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."
