President Donald Trump dived into the fray of the ongoing drama at the Department of Justice Saturday, and he indicated his firm support of Attorney General Pam Bondi while imploring his team to stick together.
Posting to Truth Social, he said he’s disappointed about people going after Bondi, who he thinks is doing a great job, and that he “doesn’t like what’s happening.”

What’s going on with my “boys” and, in some cases, “gals?” They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. We have a PERFECT…
They’re all going after Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is doing a FANTASTIC JOB! We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening. 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.
At issue is a creepy pedophile financier who’s been dead now for almost six years. As I reported, Jeffrey Epstein continues to haunt us long after his alleged suicide:
On Friday, the D.C. news cycle was dominated by apparent tumult at the Department of Justice and reports that either FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and/or Director Kash Patel were considering resigning. The drama was caused by the DOJ’s statement Sunday that Jeffrey Epstein did in fact commit suicide and that there was no “client list.”
Many observers had expected more information and were critical of the report.
Putting the rumors to a rest, Patel indicated Saturday that he had no plans to step down as FBI director. The status of Bongino is still unclear at this time.
Trump said there were far more important things to focus on than the depraved Jeffrey Epstein, somebody “nobody cares about”:
LET PAM BONDI DO HER JOB — SHE’S GREAT! The 2020 Election was Rigged and Stolen, and they tried to do the same thing in 2024 — That’s what she is looking into as AG, and much more. One year ago our Country was DEAD, now it’s the “HOTTEST” Country anywhere in the World. Let’s keep it that way, and not waste Time and Energy on Jeffrey Epstein, somebody that nobody cares about.
He closed with what has now become a uniquely American buzz-phrase:
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Trump’s missive is long, and I encourage you to read it in full. However, one point stood out to me more than any other:
If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?
Indeed.
If the comments by our awesome readers are any indication, many Americans are ready to move on from the Epstein saga, a sentiment expressed by Trump in his message. While I agree that there are many far more important issues and Trump wins to discuss, and that it would be a travesty if this drama caused turmoil in an otherwise well-functioning administration, I would make one argument about why the story still holds significance. Bear with me here:
If the mastermind behind a massive bank robbery suddenly died, would we then simply forgive his accomplices and fellow plotters? No. They are still guilty of the crimes they committed.
And so it is with Epstein. There were egregious crimes, there were powerful enablers, and there was a giant cover-up. We should still hope those involved will be held to account.
That being said, Trump is right to note that he has a powerful team, and that this sick pedophile should not be able to derail them as they try to make America great again. Even in death, this pervert is still causing harm, and if infighting infects the administration, his ghost will have claimed yet another victim.
His twisted soul does not deserve that satisfaction.
