The Trump administration is receiving criticism from its MAGA base for not releasing materials from the Jeffrey Epstein investigations. There is strong interest from supporters in obtaining the "Epstein client list" due to conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein's connections with elite figures. Trump's attorney general asserted Epstein's death was a suicide, dismissing public interest in case files. Unlike previous instances, Trump's reversal on this issue is not fully supported by his base, possibly due to his prior social connections with Epstein and personal allegations against him.
MAGA has long wanted the "Epstein client list" revealed because of the QAnon-related conspiracy theory that it will implicate a network of Democratic pedophiles who had Epstein killed to keep him quiet.
In early July, Trump's attorney general wrote in a memo that Epstein's death was definitely a suicide and there is nothing of any interest to the public in the case files.
Unlike every other time the president has performed a sudden Orwellian reversal on an issue, the base has not entirely come with him on this one.
That might have something to do with the fact that Trump socialized with Epstein and has been accused of numerous sexual assaults himself.
