President Donald Trump is accusing some of his onetime supporters of being “weaklings” who are falling prey to Democratic “bullshit” about the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — concluding that he no longer wants their support.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump is lashing out at his own supporters as he tries to clamp down on criticism over his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation, which Trump now calls a “Hoax.”

On podcaster Benny Johnson’s show in 2023, Patel suggested that the FBI was withholding the client list because it contained the names of prominent figures. “Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are,” Patel shouted at congressional Republicans.

President Donald Trump says Attorney General Pam Bondi should release "whatever she thinks is credible" on Jeffrey Epstein.

For years, President Donald Trump and his Republican allies benefited from conspiracy theories that fueled the conservative MAGA movement and targeted his political enemies.

Here is a timeline of Epstein and Trump’s relationship. Though it is not known when Epstein and Trump first met, Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he had known Epstein for 15 years, which would date back to the late 1980s. “Terrific guy,” Trump said in the 2002 interview.

Police seized phone message pads from Epstein's Palm Beach mansion in 2005. Two messages were from Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump attacked his own supporters while answering a question about their interest in Jeffrey Epstein.

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida on two state felony charges, paid restitution to three dozen victims, and registered as a sex offender. A decade later, Epstein pleaded not guilty in New York to multiple charges, including sex trafficking.

"The most simple explanation is probably the correct one," the host said of the president's unwillingness to release the Epstein files
