Trump lashes out at supporters as poll says most Americans believe key details on Epstein being hidden: Live

President Donald Trump has lashed out at his own supporters, calling them “weaklings” and accusing them of being fooled by Democrats, as he tries to stop widespread criticism of his administration’s handling of much-hyped records in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

Having previously helped propagate conspiracy theories regarding the death of the late financier and socialite while in custody and awaiting trial, Trump now calls it a “hoax.”

There is no evidence that any former Democratic officials tampered with the documents or played any role in spreading conspiracies about the files, which members of Trump’s administration promoted for years.

A large majority of Americans believe the Trump administration is withholding information about Epstein, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found. The survey showed that 69 percent of people think the federal government is concealing details about Epstein’s clients, while only six percent disagreed.

Speculation about the case captivated parts of Trump’s political base, who expected sensational disclosures after assurances from senior officials that investigation documents would include damning revelations about Epstein and his alleged clients.

The Trump administration reversed its pledge last week, angering some of the president’s supporters and causing a rift in MAGA world.
