President Donald Trump is disappointing some of his most visible supporters.
Conservative podcaster Patrick Bet-David was among the legions of Trump voters who were baffled Sunday when the administration announced that the case of Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in jail while awaiting sex trafficking charges, is closed.
Epstein died in his Manhattan jail cell in 2019 of what was officially determined to be suicide. His death and known ties to prominent figures fueled theories of a “client list” of powerful people, and Trump’s Attorney General Pam Bondi promised to release just such a document.
That promise came crashing down with a memo Sunday from Trump’s Justice Department, which stated “no incriminating ‘client list’” or credible evidence of Epstein blackmailing powerful figures was found. Trump scolded a reporter Tuesday for asking if more information was going to be released.
Bet-David on Tuesday condemned the reaction from Trump on Fox News.
