The FBI and DOJ said they do not plan to make future public disclosures related to their review of Epstein's case, stoking outrage among Trump's most vocal supporters.

At an unrelated press conference on recent drug seizures, Attorney General Pam Bondi was asked about the frustration from the MAGA base about the Epstein investigation, Bondi said, "We’re going to fight to keep America safe again.

The president attempted to fend off criticism of his attorney general as she takes fire from conservative activists.

The president said a Wall Street Journal report alleging that a racy letter sent to Epstein on his 50th Birthday in 2003 bore his name and signature was “FAKE NEWS.”

President Trump is threatening to sue The Wall Street Journal for reporting on his past ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while calling for some additional Epstein files to be made public.

Trump threatened a lawsuit after the Journal on Thursday described a sexually suggestive letter that the newspaper says bore Trump’s name and was included in a 2003 album for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
