US President Donald Trump has said Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, as he faces a rare backlash from supporters after seeking to draw a line under the case. Bondi has been lambasted by some of Trump's political base after her department recently said there was no evidence that Epstein kept a "client list". This appeared to contradict her previous statements, and those of other Trump allies who have previously called for the release of more information on Epstein. Trump also said on Tuesday he did not understand "what the interest or what the fascination is" with the case. He earlier offered a defence of Bondi.
"She's handled it very well, and it's going to be up to her," he told reporters. "Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release." When asked by a journalist if the attorney general had told Trump whether his name appeared in any of the records, he said: "No, no." During his later comments, the president questioned the enduring fascination with the Epstein case, calling it "sordid but boring". "Only really bad people, including the fake news, want to keep something like this going," Trump said.

Bs
They’re impatient
Whining in the desert.
The problem is that I really don’t think a lot of the people fixated on the Epstein case will accept whatever the administration releases.
Folks, read and think about his post.
Fake news as been busy.
PDJT said in an interview last year that there was fake stuff mixed with real stuff in Epstein material :

When the criticism is coming from your own supporters it would behoove him to to pay attention or start losing their support.

Tad ungrateful considering all the GREAT things he’s done in 7 short months.
It is people like you ,who I suspect want him to lose support, who egged on and whooped up maga over this.
Looking at you Bannon, Tucker Kirk, and all the other preterists who just want everybody’s panties in a wad over those evil joos.
Fairweather and ungrateful at the least, and antisemitic at worst.
God saved the man’s life, and you guys don’t seem to trust Him or Trump to get around to bringing justice to where justice is due.
“Does he still think anyone wanting Epstein information accountability is a ‘past supporter’?”
This is not what he said though. He really could have been talking about people who have in fact now turned on him over this. There are past supporters of his all over the Internet attacking him over this, and recently Turning Point featured libertarian Dave Smith stating he turned against Trump and accusing him of protecting pedophiles as if that’s just a fact.
And even if Trump did mean more people than that, he was explicitly talking about those who believe the “Epstein scam,” i.e. are already convinced of the unproven theories out there, not just those with an open mind wanting more info released.
I stand corrected on her age but you’re purposely missing the point. Trump was approximately 58 years old at the time and married. You don’t have any problem with that?
Trump?
Not credible.
Before politics he was not even prone to shake hands.
He has no need of that made up crap.
If he was on Epstein’s plane, which I don’t believe, He might have listened to talk about transferring recovered assets by hidden means.
Even that does not make sense.
No, this is precisely what any pedo would say — “Yah got no PROOF!”
No redaction. Tired of that since it just leaves lies standing there.
No. Release it all. Unredacted except for the names of the victims. ALL OF IT! Otherwise, MAGA just took a shot to the head.
This thing is so much bigger than what people are making it out to be
I f
Trust Trump
I have zero reason not to
When he says knock it off I knock it off if I’m on it which I was not about this
President Trump is human, he does make mistakes, but his batting average is amazingly high.
The Media is made of dying dinosaur beasts.
The Left is built on HUGE LIES!
Nothing based upon Lies, will ever work.
“ President Trump is human, he does make mistakes, but his…”
Bla bla blabla
Trump is acting as a man in a panic would do. Why? Something stinks. He himself is probably not implicated but something else is wrong and it has him spooked.
Youtube says she was 18 at the time but the rest is hard to ignore. Not just in bad taste but stupid as well. Going on Stern is equally stupid.
“As far as I know, the AG has been looking at this for months. The files were on her desk. Then they were supplemented by additional files from an FBI office. They’ve been reviewing and redacting for months and months. Then (for whatever reason) they decided not to release anything.
At this point, if the president says “release what is credible” they should release what they feel is appropriate or flat out say “Absolutely none of this is credible”.”

Bondi has had the files available for several months, but it would be surprising if she’s done anything with them except reveal the contents to Trump.
What they should NOT do is say, “We will begin a process and get back to you in 6 months.”
“Youtube says she was 18 at the time”-the episode of the Stern show referenced also aired in 2004-over 20 years ago. Bad taste was already barely noticed by that time, too-thanks, Bill Clinton-especially on popular shows like Stern’s. As for the outrage expressed by some of the guys here-have you checked out the insulting and misogynist remarks about women made here almost daily by some male FReepers? I certainly have...
And if you think this was bad, wait and see what happens if he implements *ANY* type of amnesty for illegals.
