That whole thing about Acosta telling the Trump Transition team that he was told to back off Epstein because he belongs to intelligence comes from the Daily Beast and is unsourced.
I tend to believe it’s just more leftist schmear in their general attempt tie Trump to Epstein and never actually happened.
I believe he said it but he may have done so to give him an excuse for what he did
Pam Bondi can release the transcript of the OPR investigation and she can publicly deny Acosta said it. She has done neither
