Why Is Trump Defending Pam Bondi So Fiercely — And What Does Epstein Have To Do With It?
In yet another signature social media tirade, former President Donald Trump left supporters and critics alike stunned with a sprawling post defending Attorney General Pam Bondi and blasting the renewed focus on Jeffrey Epstein as a “Radical Left” distraction.
“What’s going on with my ‘boys’ and, in some cases, ‘gals’?” Trump asked rhetorically in a lengthy Truth Social post late Tuesday. “They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB!”
The post comes amidst swirling rumors and increasing online chatter that Bondi — a key Trump ally and former Florida Attorney General — may be under scrutiny for her role in handling sealed Epstein-related files. Trump’s defense of Bondi was unequivocal: “LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT!”
But the real firepower of Trump’s post wasn’t just in defending Bondi. It was in the storm of accusations he hurled at the usual suspects: Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and even some of his own former allies.
“We have a PERFECT Administration, THE TALK OF THE WORLD, and ‘selfish people’ are trying to hurt it, all over a guy who never dies, Jeffrey Epstein,” Trump declared, referencing the deceased financier whose name continues to haunt the halls of political power.
Trump vs. The Epstein Narrative
The former president claimed the “Epstein Files” — documents currently under review by several media outlets and legal bodies — are part of a grand fabrication. He linked them directly to figures like Hillary Clinton, former FBI Director James Comey, and even current Biden administration officials.
“They created the Epstein Files, just like they created the FAKE Hillary Clinton/Christopher Steele Dossier that they used on me,” Trump argued.
He also questioned why, if these files contained anything damaging to him or his movement, the “Radical Left Lunatics” hadn’t already weaponized them.
A Message to MAGA Insiders
Perhaps most shocking was Trump’s open criticism of people within his own movement — people he describes as “my boys” and “so-called ‘friends’” — who he says are “playing right into the hands” of the left by entertaining the Epstein file narratives.
The frustration was palpable:
“No matter how much success we have had… it’s never enough for some people,” Trump lamented.
“We are about to achieve more in 6 months than any other Administration has achieved in over 100 years.”
This shift — from blaming the left to calling out his own — marks a strategic warning. As Trump gears up for a potential second term, the message is clear: stay in line, or risk being seen as part of the enemy’s plan.
The Bigger Picture: 2024 and Election Integrity
Trump’s post, though ostensibly about Bondi and Epstein, quickly morphed into familiar territory: accusations of voter fraud, a rigged 2020 election, and the need for loyalty within MAGA ranks.
He singled out Kash Patel and the FBI, demanding they focus not on Epstein but on “Voter Fraud, Political Corruption, ActBlue, The Rigged and Stolen Election of 2020.”
Trump also doubled down on his belief that Bondi’s real job is to investigate how the 2024 election may be under threat in similar ways.
“That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more.”
What’s Next?
Trump ended the post with a mix of bravado and warning: “One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the ‘HOTTEST’ Country anywhere in the World… Let’s not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.”
That last line might be the most revealing. While the public and press continue to dig into the Epstein saga — and possible political connections — Trump wants to shut the door firmly. Whether that’s because there’s nothing there, or something he desperately wants hidden, remains the question.
One thing is certain: Trump sees the Epstein conversation not just as a distraction — but as a potential threat to the fragile unity of his MAGA empire.
And he’s not having it.
