Donald Trump has come to the defense of Attorney General Pam Bondi amid an all-out revolt among his MAGA base over the administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

But his effort over the weekend to quell the outrage only seemed to add fuel to to the fire.

      It’s definitely an admission, but also, I’m pretty sure he’s panicking because he knows it’s either going leak soon and/or there will be congressional hearings in which Bondi, Bonjino, and even Maxwell will have to testify under oath (Maxwell has already said she’s willing to testify – the late-night GOP scramble yesterday was related to this).

      He’s trying to poison the well with his usual ‘lügenpresse’ schtick.

        Congressional hearings? Seriously? Don’t you know what party is in charge of Congress now? The midterms are a long way off, I can’t imagine this keeping steam until then. Plus, the Dems also would expose some of their favorites, no way they do it either if they took both houses off Congress.
