Donald J. Trump IS STILL stuck with the situation…..
It IS stealing what Trump & Co. want the media to be talking about right now
President Donald Trump continued to rage over the Jeffrey Epstein case Friday after The Wall Street Journal published a bawdy birthday letter he allegedly wrote to the disgraced financier decades ago, prompting the president to threaten suit against the newspaper — and instruct Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal grand jury testimony in Epstein’s case.
The Wall Street Journal report came after a week of turmoil over the Epstein case among MAGA circles, which have fractured over the Trump administration’s handling of the investigation into the convicted sex offender while the president has repeatedly sought to downplay the whole ordeal.
“If there was a ‘smoking gun’ on Epstein, why didn’t the Dems, who controlled the ‘files’ for four years, and had Garland and Comey in charge, use it? BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday morning, echoing his previous attempts to pin blame for the lack of information in the case on Democrats.
Trump on Thursday vehemently denied writing the suggestive letter to Epstein, which reportedly included lines of typewritten text and a doodle of a naked woman with Trump’s signature below her waist. The president slammed the letter’s publication Thursday as a “fake” and vowed to sue the newspaper in an angry Truth Social post.
POLITICO has not independently verified the existence of the letter.
Trump continued to attack the news outlet Friday, writing in a separate Truth Social post: “I look forward to getting Rupert Murdoch to testify in my lawsuit against him and his ‘pile of garbage’ newspaper,” adding that it “will be an interesting experience!!!”….
…
Trump has attempted to brush off scrutiny on the Epstein case by claiming the entire situation was a “hoax” pushed by Democrats, as outcry from within MAGA circles has mounted over his administration’s handling of information around the Epstein case….
As usual?
Trump goes after the media for publishing something, he as. public person, does NOT like….
President Donald Trump said Thursday he would sue the Wall Street Journal and its owner over a new bombshell report about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process of unsealing grand jury testimony in the disgraced financier’s criminal case.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” Trump said on social media, though it’s unclear that a judge would approve the request. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”….
…
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), a former federal prosecutor, underscored that in a post on X by noting that the grand jury testimony will largely relate only to Epstein and Maxwell and may exclude things like videos, photographs and FBI witness interview summaries.
Murdoch is the owner of News Corp, a conglomeration of conservative — and typically Trump-friendly — media outlets including the Journal, the New York Post and Fox News. Trump has historically been friendly with Murdoch and his outlets, though their relationship has hit bumps over the years and especially during his second term, as the president has repeatedly bashed polls and coverage he deems unfriendly.
The threat is the latest in a series of legal actions Trump has taken against media outlets….
Note…
Remember?….
Donald IS a convicted sex offender…..

Trump claims the WSJ story about his creepy birthday card talking about “secrets” for Epsteins 50th is fake because he doesn’t “write pictures”
Well it turns out that he made several doodles that he submitted for charity auctions around that time.
Donald WILL and DOES Attack ANYONE that he fells doesn’t see or follow ‘HIS’ way….
He is fairly consistent ….
Cept Putin
Who don’t respect ole Donald at all and seems to be hurting the American President’s feelings, eh?
Can’t confuse MAGA with the facts!
They like lies.
Indeed lying lies at the heart of the cult.
And the bigger the lie the better.
Donald IS A serial liar….
A woman lawyer on the Epstein case back then says the Grand Jury info. Is strictly about Epstein’s issues….
That info would not be about Trump….
Trump’s action’s she said has. Been buried behind settlements and no disclosure doors….
Makes sense. Why they want the Grand Jury stuff out….
There HAS to be FBI agents and others that know about the Trump indiscretions….
This thing IS gonna keep running…..
Grand Jury info ain’t marathons part….
More to Come on Trump and Epstein
Julie K. Brown, the Miami Herald reporter who originally broke much of the Jeffrey Epstein story, said she’s heard the Wall Street Journal’s story from Thursday night about Donald Trump’s salacious letter to Epstein is just the tip of the iceberg.
Pwire
At the end of the day,and despite the claims that this Epstein matter will “ split” MAGA?
It will actually have little effect at all.
No matter what, MAGA is a conspiracy laden cult .The cult must survive and that means Trump must.
He has already “ blamed” the Epstein saga on various Democrats So no matter what “ revelations “ result from whatever be released? Trump already has an explanation..
It’s all the Democrats fault!
And MAGA will eagerly shake their heads while proclaiming ,” that’s right” and demanding an ‘ investigation “ into those nefarious Democrats .
Carrying the die hard MAGA types will NOT be h when the dust settles for the Midterms and 2028….
Trump IS working hard to shrink the Republican base
Tha resulting base will be strong for him…..
But GOPer’s will have to swim against Trump in the end in placere purple or have suffered from Trump Tariff and immigration moves
Wait….
Everything IS cyclical
There WILL be issues developing between Trump and MAGA ……
Trump knocked those types pushing for more Epstein revalation’s a few days ago cause he wants what The NY Times piece went to go away….
The media isn’t gonna drop this….
So?
MAGA with somewhat come to his defense like they did when their guy became a convicted sexual harassment convicted felon
No morals …..
I still maintain that the karma WILL be Trump’s downfall/legacy
He’s a lame duck
MAGA comes to Trump’s defense on Epstein after WSJ turmoil

Influential figures in the MAGA realm who have pushed the administration to release more documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case are coming to President Trump’s defense after The Wall Street Journal reported that the commander-in-chief allegedly sent a lewd letter to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender over 20 years ago.
The Journal reported on Thursday about an alleged letter the president sent to Epstein in 2003 for his 50th birthday. The letter, a copy of which was not featured in the piece, reportedly has text framed by the outline of a naked woman and features the line “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
Trump has denied writing the letter. The president sued the Journal the next day in federal court, demanding billions of dollars in damages.

“This lawsuit is filed not only on behalf of your favorite President, ME, but also in order to continue standing up for ALL Americans who will no longer tolerate the abusive wrongdoings of the Fake News Media,” the president said on Truth Social.
Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who last week called for a special prosecutor to be appointed to review the Epstein files, said on his “War Room” show Friday, “In fact, we made the recommendations that are the best for President Trump in this movement, which is President Trump is best when it’s attack, attack, attack. This is the deep state. This is the ruling class in America. They’re trying to use it to destroy President Trump.”
On the podcast, Bannon asked MAGA podcaster and influencer Jack Posobiec, “Where are we in all of this, sir?”
“We’re so back. Look. Everyone is firing on all cylinders. The MAGA movement is completely united behind this fight right now,” Posobiec said.

Conservative commentator and host Megyn Kelly, who has called out Trump supporters who deferred to the administration’s posture on the Epstein controversy, said the Journal article on Thursday was the “dumbest attempted hit piece I’ve ever read.”
Tech billionaire Elon Musk, whose relationship with Trump soured in recent months amid a public fallout, said the “letter sounds bogus.”
Hours after the Journal article was published, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony in the Epstein case.
The order from Trump was welcomed by MAGA as parts of the base have expressed deep dissatisfaction with the administration following last week’s release of an unnamed joint DOJ and FBI memo, stating that Epstein did not keep the so-called “client list” and that he died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial.

After Trump issued the order to Bondi on Thursday night, Turning Point USA founder and conservative activist Charlie Kirk wrote on the social media platform X that it was a “major move. Let’s go!”

The DOJ followed through on Friday, filing a pair of nearly identical motions to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, requesting to unseal the grand jury transcripts. The DOJ said it would shield the names of potential victims and “personal identifying information” prior to releasing the transcript. The release of grand jury transcripts is rare due to sensitive information, but not impossible.
Right-wing activist Laura Loomer, an ardent supporter of Trump, slammed the former chairman of News Corp Rupert Murdoch and argued that the president should “cut him off” forever. News Corp owns the Journal.
“Rupert Murdoch should never be allowed to have access to Donald Trump ever again. He’s a slime ball. He’s a liar and he obviously tried to weaponize his News Corp to, and his media platform, very wealthy, multi-billion-dollar media platform, to assassinate the character of President Trump, because he was not successful in assassinating President Trump’s 2024 presidential election,” Loomer said Friday while on Bannon’s “War Room” show.

Trump bashed GOP voters earlier this week for being overly focused on the Epstein case and told his supporters that they should move on to other issues. The president also wondered why the Democratic Party lawmakers did not call for the release of the Epstein files while they controlled the White House and had the majority in the Senate.
“If there was a ‘smoking gun’ on Epstein, why didn’t the Dems, who controlled the ‘files’ for four years, and had [former Attorney General Merrick] Garland and [ex-prosecutor Maureen] Comey in charge, use it,” Trump said Friday on Truth Social, adding “BECAUSE THEY HAD NOTHING!!!”
Despite the administration’s push to release the grand jury testimony, Trump said on Saturday it will likely not be enough to please the “troublemakers and radical left lunatics.”
