Donald Trump has attacked some of his former followers, labeling them “weaklings” for believing what he called Democratic “bulls**t” about Jeffrey Epstein.
Now Elon Musk has spoken out.
The tirade, which was posted on Truth Social on Wednesday, was the former president’s strongest reaction yet to rising calls from both friends and foes for more openness about the federal probe into the late s** offender.
Epstein killed himself in jail in 2019, but people have been suspicious and making up conspiracy theories about it ever since.
Trump said, according to CBS News, “Their new SCAM is what we will always call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.” My PAST fans have bought into this “bulls**t” hook, line, and sinker. Let these weaklings keep going and perform the Democrats’ dirty work… I don’t want their help anymore!
Days after the Justice Department stated it wouldn’t release any more records relating to the Epstein case and verified that there is no “client list,” the statement emerged. This move has made many on both sides of the aisle angry on Capitol Hill.
Musk, who used to be friends with Trump, made fun of the former president’s most recent comments on X: It’s hard to believe that Epstein “killed himself” while Ghislaine is in federal jail for a fake crime. He should just let the files go and show which part is fake.
Republican senators, some of whom are quite close to Trump, are now putting more pressure on him.
The Guardian says that House Speaker Mike Johnson urged for openness and said, “We should put everything out there and let the people decide.”
Former Vice President Mike Pence said, “Anyone who worked with or was connected to this horrible man should be held up to public scrutiny.”
Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Congressman Thomas Massie are trying to get a floor vote that would have the Justice Department give up all of its papers connected to Epstein.
The initiative would need 218 signatures on a discharge petition, which would probably require Democratic support, and it can’t start collecting signatures until lawmakers get back from their break in September.
At first, Trump said the dispute was just a distraction that took away from the good things his administration had done.
He stated, “I have had more success in six months than maybe any other president in our country’s history.” “But all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding from the Fake News and the success-starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax.”
People are still very interested in the Epstein case, and MPs from both parties are considering more monitoring, such as the prospect of Ghislaine Maxwell, who is presently serving a 20-year term, testifying in public.
