Trump backs Bondi, dismisses Epstein file fixation

 July 13, 2025, NEWS

President Trump has taken to social media with a fiery defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi, pushing back against criticism over her handling of a notorious case.

Over a recent weekend, Trump addressed concerns surrounding Bondi’s involvement with the Jeffrey Epstein matter, urging his supporters to shift their focus to other pressing issues, Just The News reported.

Earlier in the week before Trump’s comments, Bondi clarified that officials have no client list to release in connection with Epstein, a figure whose controversies continue to stir debate.

Trump’s Strong Support for Bondi Emerges

She also reiterated the official stance that Epstein’s death in prison was a suicide, a point that has done little to quiet persistent speculation.

On Saturday, July 12, 2025, Trump fired off a message on Truth Social, standing firmly by Bondi. “What’s going on with my 'boys' and, in some cases, 'gal'? They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a fantastic job!” he wrote, clearly frustrated with the internal squabbling among his base.

Let’s be real—Trump’s got a point about team unity, but the Epstein saga isn’t exactly a footnote for many who crave transparency on elite misconduct.

Shifting Focus Away from Epstein Drama

Trump didn’t stop there, doubling down on his plea for supporters to drop the fixation on Epstein’s files. He’s nudging the MAGA crowd to prioritize broader battles over diving into a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.

By Sunday, July 13, 2025, he was back online, reinforcing his support with a shout of, “LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!” That’s classic Trump—unapologetic loyalty to his picks, even when the heat’s on.

But let’s not pretend everyone’s ready to move on; for some, Epstein’s shadow looms larger than any policy fight, and ignoring it feels like sidestepping accountability.

Trump’s Call for Bigger Priorities

Trump also took a jab at the cultural obsession with Epstein, stating on Sunday, “Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein.” He’s framing this as a distraction from America’s momentum, a clever pivot to rally the base around tangible wins.

Yet, dismissing Epstein as “somebody that nobody cares about” might not land with everyone—plenty of folks still want answers, not platitudes. It’s a risky play to downplay a story that’s fueled distrust in institutions for years.

Trump’s argument hinges on redirecting energy to issues like election integrity, a cause that resonates deeply with his supporters. He’s banking on the idea that past electoral grievances trump old scandals.

Balancing Loyalty with Public Concerns

Still, Bondi’s critics aren’t likely to quiet down just because Trump says so. Her handling of the Epstein case remains a sore spot for those skeptical of official narratives.

Trump’s defense of Bondi shows he’s willing to stand by his team, even when the optics are messy. It’s a reminder that loyalty cuts both ways—support your leader, or risk fracturing the movement.

At the end of the day, Trump’s message is clear: keep eyes on the prize, not on ghosts of scandals past. Whether his base buys into that shift remains to be seen, but it’s a bold line in the sand against the progressive obsession with dredging up old dirt.
