Trump criticizes the GOP on the case of Epstein instead of “bigger problems”

President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the Republicans obtained on Jeffrey Epstein were “dual” by the Democrats, defending the treatment of the case by the prosecutor General Pam Bondi.

At an oval office meeting with the crown prince and the Prime Minister of Bahrain, Trump said that his predecessor, former president Joe Biden, had reversed his energy policies in the first term, leading to higher inflation.

“What Biden did is that he ended our policies,” Trump told journalists. “He has no politics. Some crazy around the office had a policy. He who exploited the autopen had a policy that is, moreover, I think that the greatest scandals – it is the scandal they should talk about, not Jeffrey Epstein, the scandal you should talk about is the autopen because I think it is the greatest scandal, one of them, in American history.”

In early June, Trump ordered Bondi and the White House lawyer to investigate the question of whether Biden assistants used an autopen to sign official documents – such as pardons, executive decrees and judicial appointments – without his personal conscience. Biden denied the complaint. The Surveillance Committee of the Chamber also investigates the plot and has published letters and assignments for the testimonies of several former aids of the White House, as well as the former doctor of the White House of Biden, Dr. Kevin O’Connor.

Trump said on Wednesday that Bondi could release “everything that is credible” linked to the Epstein case before tackling the republican intestine struggles on what some categorize as a subject of transparency by the administration.

“He died. He left,” said Trump about Epstein. “And, everything is, they are the Republicans, some Republicans were duped by the Democrats, and they follow a democratic game book and not different from Russia, Russia, Russia and all the other hoax.”

Trump said he couldn’t talk to the comments of the FBI director Kash Patel, but defended Bondi.

“I really think that she did very well. She said:” I gave you all the credible information “, and if she finds more credible information, she will give that too. What can she do more than that?” Said Trump. “I mean, honestly, what can she do more?”

His comments come after after the deputy director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, had a stormy argument with Bondi on the Epstein case last week and took a day off to cool off, sources told Fox News.

Bondi should publish Epstein’s “credible” files, says Trump

A growing list of Republicans has required greater transparency from the Ministry of Justice on the case. Trump earlier Wednesday, on social networks, that the Democrats had found another “hoax”, this time on Epstein, after being previously responsible for the “Steele file” widely discredited during the Trump-Russia investigation, as well as the concealment of Hunter Biden’s laptop history before the presidential election of 2020.

“Their new scam is what we will forever call hoax Jeffrey Epstein, and my former supporters joined this ‘Bull —-‘ Hook, Line and Sinker,” wrote Trump on Truth Social. “They haven’t learned their lesson, and will probably never do it, even after being deceived by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.”

In the oval office, Trump said the Ministry of Justice, and the administration more broadly, were faced with “greater problems”.

“We have problems with millions of illegal people who came here, and it is killers and murderers. We have 11,888 murderers who were allowed to enter our country by Biden. Sleepy Joe Biden, stupid Joe Biden, he allowed them to penetrate our country. And you know what we had to do with a lot of things. “It’s very sad that someone can be sunk, just to make a way … I think she is doing a great job.”

Trump said he had “lost confidence” to some people on his own party concerning the Epstein affair.

“I have lost this because they were dupped by the Democrats. Democrats are good for nothing. They did a terrible job. They almost destroyed our country,” said Trump, defending how the adoption of his “big and beautiful bill” assures “the greatest tax reduction in history” and the “greatest reductions in history regulation”.

“These are the things they should talk about,” said Trump. “The” Big Beautiful Bill “is one of the greatest laws of this country, and the Democrats have nothing to fight it.”
