President Donald Trump on Wednesday disowned his supporters who have called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, chiding them as “weaklings” who “bought into this bulls—.”
The lengthy post on Truth Social represents the clearest split from the faction of his MAGA base that has questioned the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
My “PAST supporters have bought into this “bulls—” hook, line, and sinker,” he said in the post, adding, “Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!”

This month, the Justice Department published a memo determining that there was no evidence of an “incriminating ‘client list,’” prompting renewed consternation in MAGA world.
Attorney General Pam Bondi in particular has faced criticism over her handling of the case. Asked in a February Fox News interview about a potential client list, Bondi said that “it’s sitting on my desk right now to review.” During a cabinet meeting last week, Bondi clarified she had been referring to a file related to Epstein.
Trump has strongly defended Bondi from that criticism, saying on Saturday, “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!”
The White House did not return a request for comment. In recent days, several Republican members of Congress and other prominent Trump supporters have pushed for more transparency over files related to Epstein.
“I’m for transparency,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said during an interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson. “It’s a very delicate subject but we should put everything out there and let the people decide.”
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., said last week in an all-caps post on X that the DOJ should “release the Epstein client list.”
Greene and Johnson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Minutes after Trump’s Truth Social post Wednesday, Greene posted on X, “My blind loyalty and faith is ONLY in God and Jesus Christ my savior. That is what will guide my decisions, actions, and votes.”
Debate over Epstein, the convicted sex offender whose death was ruled a suicide, has emerged as a fault line in the MAGA world. Trump and his allies have for years peddled theories about Epstein, only for the president in recent days to question why the case “would be of interest to anybody.”
“It’s pretty boring stuff. It’s sordid, but it’s boring, and I don’t understand why it keeps going,” Trump told reporters Tuesday evening.
The president was acquainted with Epstein, and he told New York Magazine in 2002 that Epstein was a “terrific guy.” After Epstein was arrested, Trump said he had a falling out with him “a long time ago.”
Epstein’s 2019 death in jail was ruled a suicide, and conspiracy theories quickly spread after that he was murdered as part of a plot to protect his wealthy and powerful inner circle.
