Trump’s base doesn’t want excuses—they want Epstein’s client list and the truth about TWA 800, not another cover-up dressed in national security. Recent media reports claimed that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino was livid over a memo issued by the Justice Department last week stating that there was no Jeffrey Epstein “client list” and no further records from the Epstein file would be released. Nothing to see here. Move on. Bongino was reportedly threatening to resign if Attorney General Pam Bondi didn’t resign over her seeming incompetence. If accurate, I think Bongino was right to take a hard line on...

Public uproar and internal fighting in the Trump administration over the handling of documents related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has put a spotlight on FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and his importance to members of President Trump’s base. Bongino has been at the center of debate over the Epstein files after the Justice Department essentially closed the case in a joint memo with the FBI. The deputy FBI director has clashed with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the issue and reportedly weighed resigning. The outrage on the right over the prospect of Bongino exiting underscored both his importance to...

James O'Keefe @JamesOKeefeIII BREAKING: Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Confesses J&J COVID-19 Vaccine Was 'Not Safe and Effective,' Reveals “Lack of Research” From Rushing to Release Vaccine: “People Wanted It, We Gave It to Them” “Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products [vaccines]?” “I mean we basically just had a race to figure out who could solve it best… At one point, we just canned it.” @JNJNews @joshuarys @HHSGov 11:00 AM · Jul 15, 2025

In a jaw-dropping move late Monday, House Republicans once again slammed the door shut on transparency, voting 7‑5 in the Rules Committee to block Rep. Ro Khanna’s amendment that would have forced Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice to publish all Epstein‑related files publicly. ..... Snip..... Here are the names of the U.S. Representatives who voted “No” to releasing the Epstein files: Virginia Foxx (R-NC) Nick Langworthy (R-NY) Austin Scott (R-GA) Morgan Griffith (R-VA) Brian Jack (R-GA) Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) Erin Houchin (R-IN)

Former PM Naftali Bennett denounced Tucker Carlson for his allegations that Jeffrey Epstein had been an Israeli agent.

The Department of Justice has called on the Supreme Court to reject an appeal by Ghislaine Maxwell to overturn her conviction. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 over her links to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier who died by suicide in jail in August 2019, weeks after his arrest on sex trafficking charges. Maxwell was sentenced for recruiting Epstein's victims and is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Tallahassee, Florida. In April, Maxwell submitted a plea to the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. She said she was covered by a non-prosecution agreement made between Epstein and the U.S. government in...

Jeffrey Epstein traveled throughout the Middle East and Africa in the 1980s, frequently requesting multiple passports for the trips, according to newly obtained documents. Between 1980 and his death in 2019, Epstein visited Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Mali, Gabon and countless European countries. He often reported lost passports and requested multiple to accommodate his many travel visas, the documents obtained by ABC News, reveal. 'Please issue me a second passport so I may have the 3 visas issued for Africa while I am using my current passport in France.' At the time, he carried a conviction for soliciting child...

@WallStreetApes Remember how we were told Jeffrey Epstein made his money in finance, wealth management and trading Charlie Kirk exposes Jeffrey Epstein HAD NO TRADES EVER made under his name “There are no trades to Jeffrey Epstein name at any of the trading desks — yet he ends up with a lifestyle you would think that he's worth $50 billion dollars” “He had multiple Gulf Streams jets, multiple. Each one is $30, $40, $50 million”

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Lara Trump says the Trump administration Will Release more Epstein Evidence and Will Have More Transparency. She says that President Trump Hears the Base on this Issue and knows how "Important" it is and Trump will "set things right." "There needs to be more transparency. I think that will happen. I know this is important to the President. He is frustrated." "He is going to want to set things right. I believe there will be more coming and anything they are able to release they will try to get out. They hear it and understand it." "To anyone worked...

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has always tiptoed close to the line when it comes to allegations of defamation against President Trump, but this time she might have finally crossed it. Critics of AOC are calling on President Donald Trump to sue the “Squad” Democrat after she called him a “rapist” in a blustery social media post over the weekend in reference to a civil judgment in the case brought by E. Jean Carroll. “Wow who would have thought that electing a rapist would have complicated the release of the Epstein Files?” Ocasio-Cortez posted to X on Friday. The 2023 case...

President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he spoke with FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino amid rumors that Bongino was considering resignation following Attorney General Pam Bondi’s contradictory statements about the Jeffrey Epstein files—initially claiming they were on her desk awaiting review, then later saying they do not exist. Bongino “sounded terrific” and is in “good shape," Trump said. A reporter then asked the president if "Dan Bongino still your Deputy FBI Director?” "Oh, I think so. I did. I spoke to him today… Very good guy. I’ve known him a long time… and he sounded terrific actually. No,...

The White House released a statement on the Bondi, Bongino clash on Friday afternoon. Earlier Friday it was reported that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino took a day off from work after a clash with Attorney General Pam Bondi over the handling of the Epstein files. The blowup between Bondi and Bongino happened after the FBI, DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide. “Bongino did not report to work Friday amid speculation about his whereabouts, said a source familiar with the perspectives of DOJ leaders who...

FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios. Why it matters: The dispute erupted Wednesday amid the fallout of the administration walking back its claims about Epstein by determining the convicted sex offender didn't have a celebrity "client list," and that he wasn't murdered in his New York City prison cell in 2019. Bongino didn't come to work Friday, leading some insiders to believe he had quit. But administration...

On Tuesday, President Trump took umbrage at a question about the Justice Department’s assertion that there are no Epstein tapes, there is no client list, and there is nothing more to be released. The Twitterverse has been brutal towards AG Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and his #2, Dan Bongino. Many people were saying they felt betrayed, given the fact that, before the election, we were told that the files would be released and the criminals held to account. The president has a point. There is a lot going on in Washington. There are natural disasters with dozens dead...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson 🚨WATCH: CNN’s Jake Tapper says the Epstein case is NOT closed and there’s a trove of evidence being hidden from the public. He then demands it all be released: “There's a trove of information that the Trump administration is right now refusing to share, information that could well point to the powerful folks who availed themselves of the sex trafficking victims of Jeffrey Epstein.” “So, while there may not be an official client list to be released.. There's a lot of extra information that is not being made public.. This isn't going to go away. The public…...

The Wall Street Journal welcomed FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino to the “rotten establishment” in a new editorial about the ongoing MAGA civil war over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case. On Sunday night, a Department of Justice and FBI memo concluding that Epstein did, in fact, commit suicide and there was “no incriminating ‘client list'” or “credible evidence … that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals” was reported on by Axios to the dismay of many of President Donald Trump’s biggest fans. “I’m going to go throw up actually. And this only happens every...

On Sunday night AXIOS reported on a new FBI, DOJ memo obtained by Axios concludes Jeffrey Epstein did not have a client list that he used for blackmail. The FBI earlier determined that Epstein did commit suicide in August 2019. And the DOJ-FBI also released a 10-hour video on Sunday from outside Jeffrey Epstein’s jail cell. But now we can confirm that an entire minute was cut from the DOJ video that was released last night. Why? What are they hiding? If you follow the full video you can see for yourself that the video is cut off at 11:59:00....

Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing increasing calls for her resignation or firing as a leaked Department of Justice memo has indicated the agency found no evidence that Jeffrey Epstein engaged in large-scale blackmail and that no master list of his clients existed. Conservative activist Liz Wheeler ranked among the most vocal in her calls for Bondi's ouster, saying ""If I'm President Trump, I would not tolerate this behavior anymore. She has become a LIABILITY to his administration." Wheeler further referenced Bondi's past orchestration of a botched public release of information to MAGA influencers in binders. "Bondi BRAGGED to us...

Alex Jones gives an extensive break down on why the Trump administration is claiming there is zero evidence that Jeffrey Epstein conducted blackmail, or that he kept an incriminating client list — or that he committed suicide. The DOJ is running cover for the CIA and Mossad. NO ONE IS BUYING THIS!! Next the DOJ will say ‘Actually, Jeffrey Epstein never even existed.” This is over the top sickening.

President Trump's Justice Department and FBI have concluded they have no evidence that convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept a "client list" or was murdered, according to a memo detailing the findings obtained by Axios. The administration is releasing a video — in both raw and "enhanced" versions — that it says indicates no one entered the area of the Manhattan prison where Epstein was held the night he died in 2019. The video supports a medical examiner's finding that Epstein died by suicide, the two-page memo claims. Why it matters: The findings represent...
