President Trump on Tuesday doubled down on claims that the Epstein files were “made up” by Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, and Joe Biden as he defended Attorney General Pam Bondi’s handling of the Epstein case.
Trump responded to comments made by daughter-in-law Lara Trump that “There needs to be more transparency” with the Epstein documents, but Trump defended Pam Bondi, indicating that some of the allegations lack “credible evidence.”
“She’s really done a very good job, and I think that when you look at it, you’ll understand that,” he said.
He further told reporters that “these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by Biden,” likening them to the Russia hoax.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump made similar comments in a statement responding to the drama between Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino last week. “Why are we giving publicity to Files written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, Comey, Brennan, and the Losers and Criminals of the Biden Administration, who conned the World with the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, 51 ‘Intelligence’ Agents, ‘THE LAPTOP FROM HELL,’ and more?” he asked.
This comes after the FBI and DOJ released a 2-page memo on Sunday concluding Jeffrey Epstein did not have a “client list” and that he committed suicide. The memo also suggested that no further Epstein documents would be released to the public.
Previously, Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, in February, hosted a big Epstein file release for a select group of MAGA influencers, handing them white binders that turned out to have nothing new inside. Bondi later claimed that she was misled by FBI agents and that “thousands of pages of documents” were withheld from her office after the dumpster fire of a release.
WATCH:
Reporter: Your daughter in law said that there should be transparency in the Epstein case…
Trump: The Attorney General’s handled that very well. She’s really done a very good job, and I think that when you look at it, you’ll understand that. I would like to see that also. But I think the Attorney General— the credibility is very important, and you want credible evidence for something like that, and I think the Attorney General has handled it very well.
Reporter: (inaudible question about what Pam Bondi told the President in a briefing on the Epstein files)
Trump: She’s given us just a very quick briefing, and in terms of the credibility of the different things that they’ve seen— and I would say that, you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by Biden. You know, and we went through years of that with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, with all of the different things that we had to go through. We’ve gone through years of it, but she’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, MAGA did not accept the President’s position on the Epstein documents or his claims that the Democrats made the whole thing up.
The President’s statement on Truth Social received thousands more comments than likes or reposts, which is seemingly unprecedented for Donald Trump. Many of the comments were supportive of the President’s agenda and successes, but pleaded with him for justice, accountability, and the truth about Epstein, and some attacked the President for what they saw as being complicit in the cover-up.
